Seven years ago this happened
Well that may have been an isolated incident from an out of touch elderly white man. Think again

Hmmm after being called a bitch.
Then there's the question of why https://twitter.com/__Mo/status/530188528785702912
Guess who was arrested and not http://youtu.be/GJunFdk94PM
According to everything I have been reading lately (well most of my life but who cares) black women are only good for birthing entertainers and athletes anything else should not be praised. In lieu of Artie Lange's despicable tweets and Carlesha Freeland-Gaither's abduction this has not been the best week for black women. Artie Lange's stupid twitter rant about wanting ESPN First Take moderator Cari Champion to be the slave that he impregnates 8 times only reminded people of the ugly past of white men forcibly raping and impregnating black women. Stuff like that only reinforces that the US has not progressed as much as we think it has. Seeing a black woman who is in the public eye like Cari degraded as such just makes the stomach turn thinking about black women with a lesser profile.
Speaking of lesser profile black women Carlesha Freeland-Gaither's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ant7WexmDcQ abduction showcased to the world why black women a lot of times fear walking around neighborhoods. Men can be outright filthy to black women when they walk down the street if they turn down them down. "Fuck yo ass ugly" "Stuck up ass bitch" and "hope someone beats that black bitch ass" is all the things black women constantly hear once they turn guys down. I for one cannot image the feeling of being possibly degraded every time I tell someone no or refuse to give the smallest bit of conversation.
As time has passed I have grown increasingly sympathetic to the bullshit black women suffer through. Like seriously what other race of women has to put up with their children being killed by police, having to stay down for the boyfriend or husband due to a broken justice system, and be systematically underpaid? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/29/wage-gap-african-american-women-infographic_n_2568838.html
I am far from a simp, but seriously we have to grow up and stop ignoring the plight of black women. In the US black women along with black men influence so much of pop culture yet remain at the bottom of the totem poll. A recent example of this was Snoop Dogg "attacking" pop star disguised as rapper Iggy Azalea. Snoop Dogg has been notorious for calling women bitches throughout his 20+yr career but it was no big deal until he called the Australian musician a bitch then the capes flew left and right. It was all fun and games when Snoop was calling Uncle Luke's mother "a Frisco dyke" on a track from Dr. Dre's "The Chronic" album, but attack a white woman it becomes "oh Snoop should be ashamed for attacking a woman like that".
In short I challenge people to treat black women with the same respect instead of saving the damsel in distress act for their white counterparts.
In closing I LOVE y'all black women and never stop being the strongest humans on this planet.
