A safe space for women at Emory University and surrounding colleges. This is not to bash anyone but to inform of predators. Not Affiliated w/Emory or any orgs
For legal purposes we have to state that our posts are allegations and claims made by people who believe they were victims of abuse. These are not declarative statements.
And want to know what many people are saying today??? That we’re “just trying to bring black men down”. So what about black women? When will that SAME protective energy be shown? Do better. Black men, do better. Enablers, stop enabling. We are failing our women.
As for the women behind these men? What does that say about you when you take someone’s courage and twist into them “bashing a black mans character”. This idea that black men are exalted in our community needs to stop.
So when is the time? When will you care? This is the same issue that happened with the R. Kelly allegations. Multiple women came forward. Solid proof was shown. And do you know what people said? “Y’all are just trying to bring another black man down.”
Stop sending around her nudes. Stop putting black women against each other as if your validation is their biggest reward. Stop faking your support because it is nothing for someone to send a little “This You?” statement.
You wanna protect black women? Start holding your “brothers” accountable. Normalize having these conversations because while the topic at hand is black women, ANYONE in the black community can be sexually abused or assaulted.
The one who can’t mourn for too long because there are other issues that need solving. The one who isn’t even allowed to heal from sexual assault because the community tells her black men need to be protected at all costs.
