Why Black Men Turn a Blind Eye to Violence Against Black Women
<p>When a Black woman named Rho shared <a href="https://twitter.com/hartofamerica76/status/1698518713786417502?s=20" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">her story</a> that a man hit her in the face with a brick, some Black men chimed in to say they weren’t responsible for her protection, while others suggested intervening would be too dangerous. However, even if they wanted to avoid a physical confrontation with a stranger, they could have used their voices to condemn the man’s actions, called for help, or at least expressed empathy for her experience. Instead, the Black men seemed more than willing to turn a blind eye to her pain. In a video taken from a hospital room, we can see Rho has a massive bruise and swelling on the right side of her face. Why was she beaten? A man asked for her phone number, and she rejected him. Instead of accepting this rejection, he responded violently. Sadly, this is a common experience for Black women.</p>
