Russell Simmons, R. Kelly, and Why Black Women Can’t Say #MeToo

Maybe those white men she is so afraid of were the only people there to keep her safe. Maybe her community didnt teach these young men manners and keep them off drugs. You know ive never heard of a black man getting arrested in a libary. They just seem to chill on street corners cuz thug life. Maybe she should have called the police. Maybe white men aren't the assholes here and she could take example by the "white" #metoo movement and speak up for her community instead of blaming the police.

I know its easy to blame the cops because thats your brother/friend/homie getting arrested but the cops are the only ones who are there for women. The olny ones taking the bad guys off the street. She has internalized it as well and defends them. If they all harassed her then maybe the cops were right to arrest all of them. Maybe she was surrounded by bad shitty people.

She is right her community didn't care. And that is a disgrace. I hope that she can see that a lot of white people suffered in silence with her. That this isnt a race problem. That the cops are not to blame. That men of all races harass women and rape them and need consequences. At least her black men suffer the consequences when they fuck.up. they all like to joke about how white men get off with a warning but where does that leave white women as the victims of the crime that goes unpunished? To know your rapist.... Nothing happened to him? That you called the police and they said its ok he has a football scholarship and we dont want to mess that up hes a good kid? Or he is the mayor or a cop or a ceo so its ok? Did even one fucking white guy called out for rape in the last month get criminally charged??? Police are there to help with rape even if your neighbors give you the stink eye. Call the police.

I think its really a shame that black people see themselves as such outsiders in America. That they need to have separate black issues. No one ever excluded her from #metoo she did that to herself.

She is right. They have a snitches get stiches fuck the pigs mentality. Maybe we need more black cops.

But then again, if the cops are black and the blacks look the other way then she will have no one to report the rapist to. No one will care. Too busy protecting the homies. So i guess what she wants is more white cops who will listen pat her head say sorry and send her men on their way. She offers no solutions only that we should care about the rap industry?

Black people need to find something else to do besides rap about drugs and sell drugs. And apparently stop being so violent and passive about their violence. But then if they are not violent how will they make epic rap videos?

Like i said. No black person ever got arrested in the libary. Stay in school and off the streets.

The answer here is to fund education and increase social programs for working moms so that they can work part time and care for their children properly. Lol oh no not that that is just taking it too far right? The men get locked up. The women work double shifts and the little girls get raped and the little boys make rap videos sell drugs and fuck hookers. What a great fucking culture. I don't know what the answer is here but if you get raped no matter your culture call the police. Consequences must be in place for men to protect women. That is part of feminism. That we are all free to walk our paths without men interfering. That we have the equal right to be safe to persue our goals. This is not a race exclusive thing!

Lets be honest though there are neighborhoods filled with bad apples. The prison system is an industrial complex for profit. $17 an hour phone calls and outside money needed to purchase a jacket for prisoners is complete bullshit. Men getting harassed and taken by cops is a serious problem. But if you are a black guy dont be an idiot and sell drugs with your homies on the streetcorner with your stereo on blast. Dont dress like tupac. Stay in school wear a belt. You dont have to live that thug life. And if you are a woman you don't have to take harassment. Call a white cop he'll be happy to lock up that corner asshole for your 13 year old self to feel safe. Will his homies be mad??? Probably but we cant fix all your problems for you. White people aren't some all seeing all knowing big brother. We cant solve all of your problems for you. White men are rapists too. I mean u saw the me too movement right? You weren't the only 12 year old getting cat called or your ass grabbed. We all get our asses grabbed.

Black women are strong though. Tough as nails. I hooe one or two of them solved the problem themselves and beat the shit outta a guy or two. Because they can. They are strong and tough as nails. Maybe we all meed to kick a guy in his nust. Maybe all us tall strong big girls need to put men in their place. Because fuck this shit. I have a daughter too. And id never let someone fuck with her like that. #gunsforwomen. Lets end this problem. Im talking to you white women. We wont get punished fuck it lets clean these pervs from the gene pool. You don't gotta kill them. Just aim for the nuts. Never walk unarmed level the playing field.

Im pretty sure ive offended absolutely everyone at this point but o-well. Whatever. Society is so fucked up.
