I'm saying don't suggest this is a common occurrence in Black communities. Do we have molesters, yes. Are they prevalent like in the White culture where practically every male is a predator, no!
Some practices are more aligned to some cultures more than others.
hmm.. I think it's my verbiage that's causing the misunderstanding, so I'll attempt to clarify.
"don't suggest this is a common occurrence in Black communities." - I didn't say that it was a common occurence, I said that it is a common elephant in the room. Elephant is just a metaphor to describe an umbrella of topics, discussions and issues that we don't want to acknowledge or address simply because it's taboo or embarrassing or generally causes a lot of division/drama.. among all these things sexual abuse of our youth by the sick mfs present in our community is probably one of the more common elephants that a lot of us sometimes ignore or shove under the table for dumb reasons like 'keeping the peace' or 'what happens in this house ain't nobody else business'. To deny that it's one of those 'hush hush' topics that we tend to glaze over is disingenuous at the very least, breh..
"Are they prevalent like in the White culture where practically every male is a predator" - I never even made the comparison or tried to correlate the prominence of molestation in the dominant society with what we deal with, nor do I care about them having to deal with it more than us.. Just because the issue is a lot more widespread in white communities doesn't make it any less of a common
unspoken problem that our community faces as well and because of this it should be addressed as such. Blessings, breh!
