2018 Coli Rookie of the Year
I was about to go jump in the shower but now y'all got a breh's wheels turning on this topic, and I had to sit down and type.
Chelsea, while I appreciate your opinions, I can't help but feel that you're purposely ignoring the OP's point. When women talk about not being protected, I haven't heard not one of them say, "And when I say black women aren't protected, I'm talking about childbirth"
That's a false equivalency. What do black men have to do with hospital conditions and poor healthcare?
So that's never been their argument. The argument is that they aren't protected by BLACK MEN. Now of course, my personal feelings on it is this: In a sense, they're right. Black men have to do a better job when it comes to protecting our women, but the other side of that is... we can't protect a woman that doesn't want to be protected, which is what OP is saying.
Protection requires security, security requires discipline... Discipline about who you hang with, who you engage with, where you hang out at. I can't protect a woman that wants to be shaking her @$$ all on camera, getting half nude on IG.
How can I? Her behavior is attracting the degenerates that she wants me to protect her from. It's the equivalent of a woman being with a man, and then talking trash to another man, thereby getting herself and her man into a needless altercation.
Protection doesnt mean, let's go into these situations and start these fights, and then Imma fight our way out of it.
Protection is often what you do BEFORE the altercation starts. I know that you putting your @$$ on the internet will get you disrespected, so don't do it.
I know that you walking around talking about you living your "hot girl summer" is gonna put you in situations where you will get disrespected and/or hurt, so don't do it.
But no, these women want to do whatever they want, and then complain when they meet the end result of the path they're choosing, and then look to us to be saviors for them.
What do I look like putting my life in danger for a woman that is sleeping around with multiple men, hanging with the wrong crowd, living a reckless life?
So now I'm supposed to put myself at risk for her? And really and truly, all men know this (or should know this). The fact that no black man with a platform has spoken up and said this shows you the power of our matriarchal society. They're afraid of the heat they'll get from women if they say this.
They talk that protection shyt but if one of these random clark kent simps get his shyt buss out here, they not going to the funeral.
