Rape in everyday life is already unacceptably common. One in six women is raped or sexually assaulted in her lifetime, according to the National Institute of Justice, a number so high it should be considered an epidemic.In the military, however, the situation is even worse. Rape is almost twice as frequent as it is among civilians, especially in wartime. Soldiers are taught to regard one another as family, so military rape resembles incest.

As far as I’m concerned black people are the 2nd largest population in America. Throughout the years, they have grown a tough shell to deal with the hatred. To be honest it does hurt, it's just reminds me the kind of world we live in. I have to tell myself to not care what others think of me because what is the point?
