Let's Discuss Violence Against Black Women

[bcrusaderw]

Two very interesting articles about violence against black women, and how it goes unrecognized.

Very telling quote from one of the articles.

And for Black women, it’s an even bigger problem: Black women are almost three times as likely to experience death as a result of DV/IPV than White women. And while Black women only make up 8% of the population, 22% of homicides that result from DV/IPV happen to Black Women and 29% of all victimized women, making it one of the leading causes of deathfor Black women ages 15 to 35. Statistically, we experience sexual assault and DV/IPV at disproportionate rates and have the highest rates of intra-racial violence against us than any other group. We are also less likely to report or seek help when we are victimized.

Have you ever been a victim of violence? Do you know anyone who has? Why is it so normalized in our community?

I haven't been a victim, but that shyt is truly terrible
one time my bff called me and was saying her dad was brutalizing her mom breh that was one the worst moments of my life

 

[Rawtid]

No I have not been and I have never witnessed it either...not in real life. Not sure what I would feel if I did.

All up in my thread when I ask how you could ask your partner to do all the domestic duties, and still help out financially, but nowhere to be seen when discussing violence against black women.

I wonder why this is.

When it comes to domestic violence laws are in favor of the female.

Most of these females see the signs and continue to hang around those abusive dudes. i don't feel sorry for bums who refuse to work. i don't feel sorry for drug addicts who choose to throw their lives away. So i don't feel sorry for these females who choose to let men abuse them. God helps those who help themselves.

i wouldn't say domestic violence is normalized in our community and i haven't met that many battered women. Most of the battered females i do meet are white.

The most dangerous time for a woman in a domestic violence situation is when she tries to leave.

lol.

You obviously don't know how the legal system works.

All a female has to do to get a man arrested for dv is call the police and say "he hit me".

After she gets him arrested she gets a restraining order. If dude violates that restraining order all she has to do is call the cops. They'll book him and charge him with a felony.

Most females in abusive relationships allow men to brainwash them. They choose to stick around. There will always be psycho wife beating dudes. Up to the female not to hang around dudes like that.

Be mad.

Restraining orders don't stop your partner from potentially killing you, and the word brainwashing implies a lack of choice in the matter. People are brainwashed against their will.

i guess. Not gonna have a huge debate on it.

Just gonna say most battered women stay because they choose to do so. Yea they're victims, but a lot of them need to be stronger. Stop babying them and tell them to grow up and protect their own well being.

It's crazy that black males have more empathy for a thief (a moral failing ie in the case of Mike Brown) than an innocent woman who is killed as the result of a domestic violence situation. Neither deserved to be killed, yet one gets infinitely more empathy.

Boom.

Cant feel compassion for grown adults that choose to stay somewhere that they get their ass beat. Clearly thats what they want out of life. So be it.
