Chardonnay Madkins knows firsthand the pressures African American women can face when reporting campus sexual assaults. Do black women have a harder time dealing with and reporting sexual assault than white women? Part of that is because [of] where black women are, compared to white women, in terms of being accepted into college and accessing resources and stuff like that. Other people might not know that [black men] essentially have the help and support of the overall black community because of how black men are placed. I think that schools are really, really scared of that.
