I'm not really sure if I'm reading your post correctly or not. I am assuming that you are saying that traditionally, the 'stereotype' that you have been taught is that black men are out to rape white women rather than the reverse (and I'm also assuming that you are referring to this only as a stereotype and not as anything that you actually believe for fact). However, in our nation's history there has been a considerable legacy of rape of black women by white males. This is a practice that has widely been acknowledged as a part of slavery and the many years that followed. I believe that this is why you are seeing it mentioned so frequently in the media.
