The title of Nicholas D.Kristof's piece of crap this morning is "What About American Girls Sold on the Streets?"
Kristof calls prostituiton "fail to appreciate that it’s one of our country’s biggest human rights problems."It is not a human rights problem.The columnist even goes as far to talking about a new book "“Girls Like Us,” by Rachel Lloyd, herself a trafficking survivor, illuminates the complexities of the sex industry.Oh so its like its a trade give me a break.
Kristof goes onto say "Americans often think that “trafficking” is about Mexican or Korean or Russian women smuggled into brothels in the United States. That happens. But in my years and years of reporting, I’ve found that the biggest trafficking problem involves homegrown American runaways."
Years of reporting yeah ok good one Nicky.
It would not be a NYT oped columnist to write about a subject that didn't use or play the race card "Typically, she’s a 13-year-old girl of color from a troubled home who is on bad terms with her mother. Then her mom’s boyfriend hits on her, and she runs away to the bus station, where the only person on the lookout for girls like her is a pimp. He buys her dinner, gives her a place to stay and next thing she knows she’s earning him $1,500 a day."
As I stated earlier not exactly a great subject to be writing on if you ask me especially today on Easter Sunday.
