An hour or so ago I came across this post in my Face book
news feed. The post is on a page called 3rd degree which originates
out of South Africa and has a largely white South African following. I read the
words accompanying the image and, sick to my stomach I posted this onto my wall,
believing it was true. After all the words state that the Washington post broke
the story of the gang rape of dogs in South African Townships as well as across
Africa. The screenshots are at the very end and viewer discretion is advised.
The link to the Face Book post is here
The text reads:
Dogs
being gang raped in townships. (Washington Post. US)
This disgusting practice, where dogs are
beaten and raped for sport by groups of males, has reached epidemic levels
across the nation.
Dog rape is not new to South Africa, and
hardly isolated to our nation only. In fact it is an evil act perpetrated in
many sub-Saharan African countries. The victims are typically beaten into
submission, then gang raped by groups of men, often high on drink and drugs.
“The
fact that men typically target specific dogs because of their beauty and
muscular builds, something admitted by the politically liberal animal right’s
activists working in the South African townships, tells me dog rape is in fact
about sex. The EKP wonder if Apartheid is blamed”
Taken
from the Washington Post: By; Laura Oneale & Animal & children’s
right’s activist, N. Alexandra with research by G Vallone
Masimba Musodza and friend and ally did a search and
revealed that the image was of a dog on a vet's table in Bosnia-Herzegovina,
about to be treated for anal prolapse.
My own image search revealed that this
image originates in Europe, hundreds of tweets from Denmark from people stating that
Denmark has brothels where men can pay to have sex with animals, safely.
Basically saying that Bestiality is legal in Denmark. Link to just one of such twitter accounts is here
"In Denmark there are entire brothels offer
sex with animals legal and rape of a dog brings punishment according to one's
perverted views enshrined legally ....
That dog in the picture has died as a result of the brutal rape and
abuse in such a brothel for animals ."The blog is here.
The comments section on the post is a mix of apologetic Blacks
who appear to feel shamed by the article, as well as pure hate and poison from
some whites:
-Not
being racist because im also black..But our black race does disgusting things
and then go on blaming it on apartheid.You need God straight
-Kayla,
true, apartheid shouldn't be blamed 4 evrythng. But that comment of urs abwt
black people doing disgusting things is what pissed me and a lotta people in
here off! They raped that dog bcoz they are evil, not bcoz they are black!!
Don't disrespect us sisi...tu!
This story is bogus and is clearly crafted to induce the
kind of white on black hatred that is seen in the comments section. It is also
designed to shame blacks who see this, into actually questioning their own
humanity, a humanity that has been questioned and refuted using bogus science by
so many white people for centuries. It is this same so called sub- human nature
of blacks upon which Apartheid was so cunningly crafted. The fact that the
writer of the false story then further fabricates by saying that the practice
of gang raping animals is rife in sub- Saharan Africa indicates a clear intent
to not only demonize South African black men who are the majority in the townships
but to depict all of black Africa as a cesspool of bestiality, the same way
that others in the past have done about Africans in relation cannibalism and
incest.
The writer very smartly inserts the idea that apartheid cannot be to blame for the gang rape of dogs by black men. He/she then goes on to say that the rape of the animals "is in fact about sex" to cast doubt on the fact that the horrors and violence that apartheid perpetrated on the black male is in fact the root cause of the rampant rape and violence against women and children that we see in South Africa today. In this way he/she believes they are distancing themselves from any culpability in the current condition of the black man. Once again the mythical/ stereotypical insatiable sexual appetite of the black man is thrown in there: he chooses to rape dogs with a certain physical aesthetic. One might even say that the writer is cleverly equating the gang rape of black women to the gang rape of dogs by black men, insinuating here that Black women are...female dogs (that's right Bitches).
I will not post links to the numerous stories that have been told in similar fashion in the past because I will not further perpetuate the negative narratives about the continent of Africa. Readers can do their own research if they so choose. However this blog written in 2010 demonstrates the dangers of libelous stories about Africa and African people and as such we should always take steps to correct the fallacies originated and perpetuated to keep people in fear of the darkies of the dark continent, and to justify colonialism and the “need to manage black Africans”.

I choose to
correct this terrible false and degrading story because the image of this dog
has its origins in Europe, NOT Africa. The story told by whoever chose to tell
it has only one purpose and it is the purpose that I want exposed. People if we
are not careful about what we read on the internet, if we are not vigilant to the
antics of oppressor peoples who have so much at stake and want to keep us in
mental slavery and servitude, we are doomed. Micro-agressions of racism exist and they are designed to eat at you slowly, insidiously leeching away any collective strength by telling you subtly that you are less than fully human. Whoever operates the page 3rd
degree has a very clear agenda: to taint the image of Black Africa to those who
truly want a reason to justify their prejudices towards blacks and also to
unassuming foreigners who would in the end start to believe that perhaps Blacks
are better off ruled over by White people. It is a way to justify the fact that
apartheid existed and to demonstrate that without white masters to keep blacks
in check, we are an unruly mass of barbarism. Black men are in this case
targeted. In other stories on this page it is black politicians etc. The lies
on this page are endless and the administrator plays on the fact that people do
not fact check, and also on the fact that expectations of black people are so
low that they can peddle a story like this and even blacks themselves will
believe it.
The page is clearly a page to aggregate the worst in
terms of racial hatred between blacks and whites in South Africa and of course
now they are stretching their wings to pull in the rest of the continent. Well
we are NOT asleep and we will defeat your nefarious agenda! Hate has already
been defeated. Get used to it.
