"[R]esearch confirms that the most likely rape victims [in U.S. Prisons] are young, slightly-built whites. Unless they are prepared to fight to the death, they almost invariably become the 'property' of blacks, who rent them out for oral or anal copulation.

That is to say, a black may rape another black, but blacks will kill or maim a Hispanic or white who buggers a black. Hispanics likewise do not let prisoners of other races rape Hispanics. It is only whites who are not defended by men of their own race, and are fair game to be sodomized by all comers."
