Could someone explain "Protect Black Women"?

[Taadow]

"why are black men being asked to protect black women"

Are Black men being “asked” to protect,
or commanded?

I'm not protecting random women period. That's only reserved for women I'm related to or I'm with at the moment.

If they mean nothing to me I couldn't care less what happens to them.

Dunno, what would you call something that is expected of you...as a leader and protector. That's the role isn't it? Or nah? Which is it.

Here's the problem: except for a few weirdos, I don't think anyone disagrees with protecting Black women from adverse shyt if you are able to in real life. Even the militant anti-feminists I've known will lend a helping hand often.

The problem is the context of this phrase. In abstract, if you are talking about reducing Black females as victims of violence, sexual assault, or homicide if you offered a few realistic actions most men could take, I would be 100% behind this.

However, I am side-eyeing the "protect Black women" at this point in time because how I am seeing it used. When people bring up news stories or social media of random violent Black men that none of us knows and act like bad things happen because Black men as a collective somehow didn't step up, rather than this is a sad situation done by some b*stard that should be locked up, yeah I tune out. No other race of men is asked to collectively apologize for some random motherfukker that did wrong they have no relation to. When a serial killer knocks out 10 White women you don't hear this shyt.

You know about the murder of Kitty Genovese? Where the woman was screaming for help and was heard by dozens but no one helped? It's foul but this is a sad human instinct to not get involved. Is it wrong and should it be change? Yes, but shaming BM is no answer.

When BW say they won't support civil rights and movements that help Black men like opposing police brutality, etc. because they somehow don't feel there is something in it for them (do these women have brothers or sons????) then this becomes divisive, not a honest invitation for BM to help.

I am slowly making a thread about some of these stats. BW have the lowest homicide rate in almost 70 years and have had falling rates of (reported) sexual assault. Sure one is too many but if BM weren't shyt, there situation wouldn't be improving, and it is.

I don’t have no muthafuccing roles - I’m not no actor.

...and I thought they didn’t like roles, either. Sounds like you need to ask them which is it...

Most of the time when I think about Chicago, I mostly think of the children struggling and catching strays. I don't want to be all whataboutism shyt or phase out black women, but the whole black community is suffering there.

I can’t stop degenerates and lunatics and ignorant nikkas from raping, abusing, and killing women.

 

[UberEatsDriver]

Were they gang members or involved in gangs? If so that’s the gangs responsibility not mines

 

[SupremexKing]

i'd like some of thes black females to post statistics of how many black women are abused, beaten raped, whatever, a year by black men.

let's start there - provide objective facts and statistics that prove that the issues being discussed are even an actual phenomenon.

i have the stats in reference to the abuse black men and children suffer at the hands of black females.

i wasn't trying to turn this into that, but now it has to be that. the idea of men being abusive just because we're men is laughable. we need some actual factuals.

Nah.. Her bady dady shot her and killed her mother and cousin..

Nikkas going stupid..

 

[Canon]

Why do you think you're entitled to random men protecting you?

this is my problem with the statement

be the same ones telling us were not entitled to them tho

Smfh

 

[Po pimp]

Yes, you should protect black women. Obviously I’ll protect the ones in my family and I can think of a few occasions where in a way, I protected a black woman I didn’t even know. Here’s the issue though. How can one expect a man be a protector if he was raised to act like a bytch? I don’t mean bytch=female, but a bytch/p*ssy/soft ass nikka.

 

[Majestic]

nikkas gotta be Batman dropping through glass ceilings and shyt. Come through like "Damn bytch, 3rd time this week I saved you. Stop messing with ain't shyt nikkas"

 

[kwazzy100]

And that nikka will rot in prison rightfully so. What white supremacist and shea butter Twitter gotta understand is just telling blacks to "stop committing crime" isn't going to work.
