Does "rape culture" really exist?

The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments were added before "liberalism" in the modern sense was invented (although there were economic liberals but that's a different story). Those amendments were more about punishing and changing the social order of the rebellious South (which failed due to a lack of will to enforce the amendments).
Malcolm X was demeaning white "liberals" of the Old Left in the 1960s because they were still in bed with the racist Southern Democrats: a legacy of the New Deal (which really was just a New Deal for white men). They didn't give a shyt about black people. They just gave black people lip service to get their votes, but in reality needed Southern Democrats to do anything in Congress. Political expediency and bolstering the national security state meant more to them than minorities. Hyprocrites.
Many white liberals in the modern day are racist: there is no denying that. They have prejudices about people of color in their personal lives, and view minorities with paternalistic sympathy.
Now that I've given you a context for those statements of Malcolm X you provided, please provide me with a reason that they apply to me personally. Do I share ideology with Reconstruction Republicans? Am I a New Left politician? Have I EVER made a statement that indicated a paternalistic sentiment? Find out on the next DragonBallZ
Bill Clinton says he made mass incarceration issue worse - CNNPolitics.com
(CNN)Bill Clinton said Wednesday that the crime bill he signed into law as President in 1994 worsened the nation's criminal justice system by increasing prison sentences.
"I signed a bill that made the problem worse," Clinton told an audience at the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's annual meeting in Philadelphia. "And I want to admit it."

Ironic that a white dude would ask a stupid question like this when white men have raped this earth!

Rape culture is merely a business, it doesn't exist. It is a tool setup to keep lousy, useless college counselors working who otherwise would be out of a job, and it allows feminists to continue to wield power over men, particularly Black men, by ruining their reputation and possibly sending them to prison for whatever frivolous reason the femc*nt can think of.
The politicians promote it to secure a vote from stupid ass American women, simp, spineless males, and the idiotic feminist c*nts that brainwashed them, adding sizable profits to the prison industrial complex. Politicians are always looking for new, creative ways to imprison non-violent Black men; they're on a quest.
The media promotes it because it plays into the idea of fear - and fear creates ratings and website clicks, thus increasing profits. But it doesn't exist; not in this country at least. There is not conspiracy to rape women, nor are the vast majority of men complicit in the idea of a woman being raped.
Rape culture is business, plain and simple.

Rape culture is unquestionably a real thing.....it's really disturbing, and I am not talking about false rape claims, or any of that shyt....not the point. Rape culture is why if you bring up sexual harassment, or even the crime of rape, many men first response is to joke.....

This thread is a perfect example of rape culture.
Exactly.
And before some one comes with some nonsense about 1:1 comparisons, it's not about equating "feminist" struggles with racism, it's about seeing the parallels and understanding exactly what you said...the language and lifestyle of disconnect and lack of empathy with whatever group.
Being that I have two daughters it hits home with me when I hear some of the same people throwing their hands up asking to not be profiled as criminals and thugs based on their style of dress turn around only to ask what a rape victim was wearing how she "put her self out there".
You got nikkas saying shyt like spouses, porn stars and whoever else I deem sub-human can't be raped just...because. It is a complex issue just like institutional racism is. The parallels are there...it's to the point where people only associate racism with blatant gestures rather than something that is systemic and a PASSIVE quality of life that people engage on a subconscious level, even if that isn't their intention.
The concept of "rape culture" doesn't mean it's any more socially acceptable to just have your way with a woman in public than it is to be blatantly racist. But misogyny, like racism is so deeply ingrained into our culture that it can be hard to spot. It's like asking a fish to tell you where the water is...that fish has been immersed in the water it's whole life the same way a lot of men have been immersed in a culture that is built on ideals from a religious text that essentially blames women for mankind ills...the shyt is deep.
Very true.
Am I Bill Clinton? I'm 100% against the drug war and mass incarceration. Still waiting for you to apply that Malcolm X quote to me.

Or are you just co-opting the rhetoric to attack people online?

It was that simple as I saw it breh
Then you should look again.
There were multiple allegations against Cosby that went unnoticed for years, scratch that, decades. This whole thing came to light recently because Hanibal Burress (spelling?) brought it up at one of his standup shows. His simple comment on it made so many people go back and check it out that it blew tf up, and more women became emboldened to come out, I guess.
So asking if there's a rape culture... is rape culture?
