Who's Fighting for Black Women
Jul 13, 2020•54 min•Season 2Ep. 22
Episode description
As black men we feel it is our duty to protect our women and children. In recent years it seems there has been a conversation surrounding the lack of protection our black women feel from black men. We see these conversations on social media we discuss this topic with our friends, but with the current state of black people in this country it is important not to polarize our mission and that black men and women speak to each other to figure what is needed in order for us to move forward and attack the true forces oppressing our people. Today we bring HQ, Nikita, Reese Anderson, and Warren Pettis on the show to talk about the different perspectives when it comes to what protection looks like for black women. We discuss how black men can be silent when it comes to violence against women whether it be physical and emotional. We discuss the way black women have protected black men during these uncertain times in America and what black men can do better so that black women can feel the same level of protection.
