The C.O.W.S. Alice Sebold’s LUCKY Part 3 #AnthonyBroadwater #BlackMaleRapist

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the third study session on Alice Sebold’s LUCKY. Sebold is a White Woman and celebrated author of fiction. Incidentally, Sebold has penned other best selling books about rape. LUCKY was published in 1999 and reportedly details the trauma of Sebold being raped by a black male in Syracuse, New York. Anthony Broadwater steadfastly maintained his innocence. However, Sebold selected him as her attacker, and Broadwater was convicted. Apparently, he was punished for not admitting that he raped Sebold. Broadwater served 16 years for the crime before being exonerated. Sebold offered a lame apology, and plans to transform LUCKY into a major motion picture have been canceled. During last week’s session, Sebold provided a graphic depiction of her sexual assault at the hands of a “negro” male. She repeatedly references herself as a pure White virgin. Sebold also describes an awkward scene with a black male student who comes to comfort her after the attack. She hugs him to calm his sense of guilt.
