Mr Neil, as a white person, I would like to express my extreme disgust and embarrassment at the responses Dr. Meier gave to your post. Nothing you wrote came anywhere close to meriting that response, and she had no call, no call whatsoever, to imply that you or other African-American men, or the black community in general, are NOT actively working to fight rape. Her responses represent something very ugly and toxic in the white psyche, and what scares me is that she is far from the only white person who would try and derail the conversation you are trying to have by casting aspersions she had no business casting.
