This is one of the most vile and disgusting things I’ve ever read. A football player violently raped a woman (heinous enough as it is) and justified it thusly: “that’s for 400 years of slavery.”
He was never a slave. She was never a slave-holder. From The Tennessean:
“Mr. Batey continued to abuse and degrade me, urinating on my face while uttering horrific racial hate speech that suggested I deserved what he was doing to me because of the color of my skin. He didn’t even know who I was.”
In prior court hearings, prosecutors have acknowledged a racial statement was made but it was never said publicly in court.
On Friday, multiple sources confirmed to The Tennessean the statement Batey made. “That’s for 400 years of slavery you b—-,” Batey said, according to the sources.
