Because blk folks in general, and that includes blk women who raise these blk men, subscribe to the notion of keeping ones hands to oneself or reaping the consequences.
Hell i remember when this Ray Rice shyt broke, i went to work and had a discussion with one of my older blk female co-workers and she was on Rays side. She acknowledged that women think they can slick get away with putting hands on a man and that she even teaches her sons to fight back no matter who it is that wants to resort to the physical bullshyt.
