Sorry, I cannot put blame on the girl.
His parents are responsible for him being in prison.
It was he that had sex with an underage girl, pertaining to Dubai law.
It was his parents who facilitated him breaking the law.
Slut shaming is not going to change these facts.
It is not her having sex that put him in prison.
It was him having non marital sex with somebody, who according to.Dubai law could not give consent that got him put in prison.
Until this message gets through to the noggins of him, his parents and his defenders, especially those picking and choosing which racial narratives to use (conveniently none which question his or his parents' possible racial motives for seemingly losing their natural God given Black minds faced with the prospect of having a non Black in their family presence), I can see many more Black boys and men getting caught up due to Black cultural.standards being too much "raise the girl, spoil the boy".
We already know that generationally,. too many Black males and their enablers tolerate or are actually attracted to racist others and that the racism is seen as a sexual challenge.
My family, near and extended doesn't buy into that dumb "interracialism at the cost to one's dignity" dumb Mandingo trope.
I'd bet my home that his parents had their own racial self hate motivations for dropping the parenting ball when their unambiguously Black son introduced them to an Indian girl who could not replicate the scenario with her parents.
I am for dealing with the world as is.
Especially where it comes to Black people.
And I cannot countenance narratives that steal our agency or deflect upon others.
Thus far, that dynamic currently has Black males as a group seemingly finding it easier to see Black women as competition, yet entitled to our emotional resources when they fuck up......too often due to our cultural low standards for them and our own issues of default being the Backbone of Blackness.
I am just not invested enough in "Whiteness" or "otherness" to ignore culpability of a Black person when one of us gets hemmed up.
Especially as outsourcing accountability or responsibility to Others always comes with a tab that we have to pay further down the line as "we" seem to have not come to grips with the fact that Racial Altruism does not exist for Others, whilst so many of us refuse to embrace that adult fact.
I would despair if I had bought into Corporate UK Multiculturalism as Black person.
Thank Jah my parents had vision for where that would lead UK Black people.
If I being real badmind, I'd even ask why Dubai was considered a holiday destination of a lifetime when the Whole of Africa, the Caribbean or even South America is far more edifying to visit as a Black person.
Or Las Vegas, even.
I hope this boy is released soon.
I doubt lessons will be learned.
