Do we actually love Black Women?

"The most disrespected woman in America, is the black woman. The most un-protected person in America is the black woman. The most neglected person in America, is the black woman." Malcolm X

I have some questions that I need answered.

What do you think about the recent domestic abuse allegations against Fabolous, and the continued support of artists such as Trey Songs, Chris Brown, and R. Kelly, and what that support says about how we value (or don't) Black Women?

In case you are unfamiliar with the allegations, Fabolous was literally accused of beating the teeth out of the head of the mother of his children, Trey Songs manhandled a woman at one of his parties, and Chris Brown battered then girlfriend Rihanna.

The R. Kelly situation is probably the most disturbing. With at least 20 years of multiple young women and even teen girls' accusations of sexually inappropriate behavior, it makes me wonder where is the outrage? Where is the same outrage that poured all over Larry Nassir, the former doctor and victimizer of so many young gymnasts? And why can't we feel that same outrage about young black women and girls?

And yet, people are still "steppin' in the name of love".

Where is the outrage for Chikesia Clemons, the 25 year old woman who was brutally arrested, pinned to the floor so violently by two white cops her top came off, bearing her chest this past weekend at the Saraland Waffle House? Why was there more outrage for the two men arrested at Starbucks than there is for this young woman? Or the above women who were manhandled (pun intended) by these famous Black men?

And why does it seem like Black women will gladly who up for anyone and everyone else? We will march for you, we will stand beside you, we vote for your best interests, we will defend your rights, and all we ask is for that same dedication to our causes as we give to yours.

That means, Black men, if you want respect from your sis', stop defending broken men like R. Kelly, Trey Songs, and Fabulous for abusing Black Women. Defend us the way we defend you. Speak up  to your wack ass friends when they step out of line with one of us. If your friends don't know where the line is, be a man and draw it for them.

And White Women, don't invite a sis to anything, not a meeting, not a march, not a sit in, if you're only using her as the Black voice and the Black face, but don't care enough about her humanity to make sure your feminism is intersectional enough to include her. Don't have us out here in these pink kitty hats in your "Sister March" if you're not going to come to the "Black Lives Matter " rally.

So, after all of this, I ask again: do we really love Black Women?
