NAACP Chapter President Plays Race Card to Cover-up Child-Rape Charges Against His Relative — Emerging Corruption

NAACP Chapter President Plays Race Card to Cover-up Child-Rape Charges Against His Relative — Emerging Corruption: My Struggles With White Guilt And Identity Politics Almost led Me To Ignore The Injustice

About five months ago, I received a call from firebrand liberal writer, Caroline Heldman. She was working on a story about crime and punishment in east Texas for the Ms. Magazine blog. The case was dubbed the Silsbee Rape Case by a local paper and seemed interesting. An underage cheerleader alleged that a star high school athlete had raped her. One grand jury chose not to indict him, a second grand jury was preemptively dismissed due to claims of tampering, andthird grand jury would later indict the athlete. The indictment sent the NAACP into an uproar. He later pled guilty to assault for his actions. Adding insult to injury, the high school kicked the victim off the cheer team temporarily for refusal to cheer for her assailant at a basketball game.
