		<description>From my point of view as a researcher and programmer in the area of sexual violence, I believe that too often people think that if we just get rid of the alcohol problem on college campuses that rape will go away.  This is much too simplistic of an idea.  However, equally damaging to our field is the notion that any effort to reduce rape that doesn&#039;t ask men to rape less isn&#039;t worth doing.  Such a perspective can allow political slogans to get in the way of real prevention.  The latter is my primary worry with the blog above.  If we really want to end rape, it will take a comprehensive approach, based on the best data we can find, and not rooted in flimsy assumptions or slogans that sound good to some but don&#039;t do much more than get a nod of agreement during a conference presentation.  Ending rape will require using a combination of methods shown effective by the measured changes shown through the most sophisticated research available.  This study moves us a major leap forward.  I applaud Testa and her colleagues for their sophisticated approach, longitudinal design, and very promising results.  This is great news to all of us who are looking for one more way to lower the incidence of rape on college campuses and we should share it with parents of college students across the country.  Thank you, Testa, Hoffman, Livingston, and Turrisi for showing us one more way to make a difference.</description>

		<description>(1) UCSD: A group of dumb white frat guys hold an event called a &quot;Compton Cookout.&quot; This pisses people off as it used Black History Month as a reason to mock black people with racist stereotypes. Also involved is some idiot who tries to use this opportunity for shameless self-promotion, who also happens to be black. To say the least, the guy is basically a wannabe Flavor Flav.

(2) UCSD: Another dumb white frat guy gets mad that blacks are offended of being relegated to a bigoted stereotype. He tries to hold another racist event.

(3) UCSD: Meanwhile, a terrible student media publication (which, after viewing their website consists of all white staff, nudity, staff wrestling each other, and well, not much else), pushes their limits calling black students &quot;ungrateful n------&quot; - not just that word, but also that apparently the black students owed them something. They have a reputation of being trashy, and at this point, administration and faculty rush to condemn racism by students of the campus and various protests begin. Funding is also cut from all student media at UCSD, creating an extra bitter controversy.

 (4) UCSD: On Friday of that week, a noose is found in the library. Everything gets worked in a frenzy and - something I&#039;ll address later - a large amount of white commenter’s on the internet begin claiming that is was probably a black student who planted it in order to gain more sympathy. In addition, there are rumors of a threatening note sent to the Guardian and a second noose, there was no second noose, and the threat seems to be just a rumor.

(6) UCSD: Protests basically happen at all schools in support of the students. There are various sit-ins, and teach-ins, and what have you. School administrators become pushed to be more active in fixing what’s going on.

I have not seen this noose person, but most of you blame her and conveniently forget wear this all originated.   

Instead of an apology there has been steady escalation and now the noose. So, what exactly will the excuses be for this cowardly act that brings up memories of the confederate KKK of the South in their attempts to keep slavery and the non-whites in fear? Is it that are uneducated, is it that their parents planted these seeds of hate, is it that they are live in fear because our President in the white house is not 100% white. In my opinion this is what the republican party of “birthers, baggers and blowhards” have brought you. These kids follow what their dullard leaders say, they listen to Beck, Hedgecock, Hannity, O’Reilly, Rush and Savage and the rest of the Blowhards, they are young and dumb. Are you surprise at what they do when you know what they think?</description>

		<description>I love WiR and they totally rock!  There&#039;s a really good history of punk and hardcore bands, particularly from the D.C. area, speaking out against sexism and other forms of oppression, so it&#039;s awesome to see the tradition continue.</description>
