… men act and women appear. Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at. This determines not only most relations between men and women but also the relation of women to themselves. The surveyor of woman in herself is male; the surveyed female. Thus she turns herself into an object—and most particularly an object of vision: a sight.

—————————————————————

“[…] the older man would call him ‘my n****r buddy’, ‘my straight n****r buddy’, ‘and 'black boy.'”

In the recording Blake* is heard saying Buck would often call him a 'n****r’ - using terms like 'My n****r buddy’ and 'My straight n****r buddy.’ Blake* would protest but Buck would turn hostile and respond: 'This is my house. I do what I want.’

[In the photo pictured below] “It shows Buck smoking meth, wearing tighty-whities and sitting beside the man he paid, who is wearing the underwear Buck provided, while they both watch porn on a television screen in the living room of the wealthy donor’s West Hollywood apartment.”

[In the photo pictured below] “Next to him is a bottle of Gatorade - a drink which another alleged victim said Buck would spike with GHB to get his victims high - bottles of lubricant, tissues and a 'toolbox’ of sex toys.”

“The testimony left by the 30-year-old was revealed by Jasmyne Cannick, a campaigner for the Moore family who is now running for the California state assembly as a Democrat. She told DailyMail.com that she believed his testimony was the experience of just one of an unknown number of vulnerable men targeted by the Democratic donor.”

“'Ed Buck has been doing this for over twenty-something years. So there are lots of young men out there,’ she said. 'He’s a man of privilege, he has influence and wealth and he knew that if he chose young black, vulnerable gay men, that nobody would care, that their lives are expendable - nobody is gonna care what happens to them.

A dating profile obtained by DailyMail.com shows how Ed Buck said he was interested in 'BLACKS’ and was looking for 'masculine slender/skinny men’ and said he had a 'huge underwear, sports gear, mirror’ fetish.

One of those men targeted by Buck was Jermaine Gagnon, 28, who told DailyMailTV on Wednesday how he thought he was going to die after Buck injected him with meth.
