I don’t know if my comment will still be there once it’s read by the admins there, but here’s my reply to The Smoking Gun: Cops Probe Viral Video Of Attacks On Woman
Nobody else wants to say it so I’m saying it. I know many people who grew up poor, and many who were abused at home and went through all manner of hell who would still never do such a thing. It is a mental defect that makes people do things like that, and it is a societal defect that allows such people to walk the streets. Because it has for so long been about race, you have some White people running around assaulting people because they’ve been raised to feel the world owes them for being born White, and Black people who have been raised to feel the world owes them something because, what, over 100 years ago, some of their ancestors were slaves (as if there were never in history any European slaves, forget the word “slave” came from “slav”).
That in and of itself is bad, but now we have feminism instead of egalitarianism, that makes women think the world owes them something for having female genitalia. It blinds them to the realities of life. Well, they wanted equality and now they have it. The stupider men who are easier to brainwash now view women the same as weak men, and since they don’t feel protective towards women, they treat women the same as weak men.
If you don’t want guys beating you up like they would a vulnerable dude wandering aimlessly, then you need to stop teaching your sons and male peers that it’s okay to punch us in the face for getting up in their face like they would a guy who did the same thing. If it was a White MAN getting up in a Black man’s face, and the Black guy punched him, nobody would make a peep about it.
Well, this Black man is a product of your feminist society. You White people who spread this social disease that gender is only a social construct gave him permission to beat her down like a dude. So this is actually a success story to you people.
You (White women) wanted equality, well here it is. I don’t approve of that cretin’s behavior, but then I’m an egalitarian, not a feminist. Enjoy the monsters you made.
I wonder if they’ll let it stay. They should because well, this is what a feminist looks like: thugs who think it’s okay to punch a woman in the face. Sure, they’re wrong, but they were very likely raised without a father in the home, by a “strong” mother who insisted they treat women like equals.
Nicole. There is and has always been a huge disconnect in Feminism between white and black women. White middle -to upper middle class women and men (the majority of those who consider themselves “Feminists”) just do not understand that the kind of equality in sexual freedom that they are fighting for everyone to have the “right” to, can not, will not and in fact does not, play out in the same for us women in the Black community.
We simply do not have the family or financial resources to fall back onto when our sexual freedom goes wrong. Rather we spiral into a dark abyss of poverty, disease, and hooking, and then pass this off to the next generation and the cycle continues over multi-generations.
This is the point I was trying to get across here regarding the Amber cole case;

My first comment begins here. See the replies and discussion that ensues. To be fair I don’t think they are being obtuse or disingenous. I think that after all these years, they really are still genuinely clueless about the pathologies and dysfunctions in our society.

Very interesting comments. I applaud you for putting it out there. I do think you place the blaim wrongly. You blaim the wrong party. You say stop teaching that its ok to punch a woman because she got up in your face like you would a man. You blaim the idea he is a product of feminist society. Perhaps you are correct in that. However why dont you blaim the woman who opened her mouth in the first place. She started it. He reacted. He isnt faultless but neither is she. If she didnt find a need to get up in his face she would not have gotten hit. Men have known that your mouth can write checks upur body cant cash and if you get up in someones face be prepared to get punched. Yet you imply that this shouldnt apply to women. Now why would that be? That double standard should go away. You are responsible for your words and actions. Its about time you understand that if you flap your mouth be prepared to duck. If a mans words and actions csuse me to believe punching him is merrited that thought doesnt change because a woman happened to say it. You says its an equal rights thing and you are correct. You dont get to hide your mouth behind your vegina anymore. Learn what men have known all along: if uou dont want to get hit control your mouth. Blaim is not soley on the man. What about the woman who started it because she just had to go get up in his face. You are correct in that your free pass to say whatever you want and then hide behind your femininity is gone. If you dont want to get hit then curb your mouth. Just my opinion. Equal rights comes with responsibilities. You wanted equal rights. You got them.
The reason it shouldn’t apply to women is the same reason it shouldn’t apply to children or the disabled. Your feminist upbringing gives you the idea that women are physically the same as men, and this simply is not true. Women’s bones are weaker, and a hit that might just knock a guy down, might smash a woman’s skull in. So don’t hit women over words. You might end up jacked for murder instead of assault.
