        #MabelJansen did not say 99% BLACK people are rapists, she said 99% rapists are black. Can't you understand the difference? .@BBCAfrica

        @AracellisLyall @BBCAfrica stop defending your own when it is wrong. She further said she's not encountered a 12 year black who wasn't raped

        @AnankeGroup You'd be in extreme trouble, if you'd only suggest that some groups of men had another sexual behaviour than ordinary Germans.
