lets look at multiple SOURCES of stats...as well as comparisons of stats involving both sexes, and a discourse involving both genders without one gender emotionally charging the post before anything gets discussed. Are we looking at statistics involving black lesbian/gay couples? We should, to see if there is a pattern of aggressive behavior toward same sex partners on both ends. If there is, this is not a one way problem. I know, from personal experience, it's not a one way problem. Violence toward men is implicitly encouraged in the black community. SOME black women know they can use law enforcement and other black males to enforce their views. For the opposite side: SOME black men know they can abuse black women in certain positions because they're unlikely to cooperate. That number is small in comparison to the ones willing to cooperate. We're in a "tragedy downtime" now so people are finding scabs to pick...Was this a pity party post? Did you expect everybody to mount up and say "we need to stop hitting on poor innocent black women!!!"...We all know it's not a black and white issue...nor is it one sided...nor is it "majority men hitting women" like white people. Oh no, we have a COMMUNAL, EQUAL attitude and abuse problem on both sides. Modern black women make the mistake of taking on the spirit of their white counterparts, not knowing their communities are set up differently. Poor people abuse other poor people. Abused people abuse other abused people. One group of abused people, due to them sharing a gender with another group of abused people, have systems in place to help them. One group of abused people, due to them sharing a gender with a group of oppressors, will forever be in limbo. Demons on one hand, when it's convenient...and "innocent victims" when it's your son, brother, father, uncle, or cousin. "These black men are abusive" on one hand...and "Stop killing our men" on the other. You want to be catered to because you're women...and you're a minority on this website. You're not a minority among black people in real life. Black women outnumber black men, make more money, and generally get further in life due to "nonthreat" status. Clean up black women before pointing the same finger white people point at us. We're everybody's bogeyman...including y'all's.
