Maybe, but between the video and the statement that has been released, at best, the situation reeks of unabashed toxic masculinity.

one would hope that if she was of a mind to get the guns out of the house she would also soon be done with the fool BUT I would have also thought that someone would leave after getting teeth knocked out too yet here we are.

Now hear me out. This gets kind of complicated.

I know getting away from an abusive partner is often easier said than done; but this shit escalates, usually ending with the woman or kids dead, or the woman in jail for defending herself.

Fuck Fabolous. Also, why are two different trolls ungrayed without any stars?

Yeah. I hope she and the children find themselves a safe living situation.

It sure is funny that black men’s misogynoir is always redefined as preference in order to make it seem insignificant (and black women seem petty) and definitely not part of a larger pattern of abuse that black women face. We know that black girls are seen as less innocent than their non-black peers. We know that…

She needs to take the kids, and go before the children or herself get shot in an argument.  

I sure won’t mind a post. I thought about posting to the Bowl last night, unfortunately, I can only post from my iPad, which is horribly limiting as my mind is racing and my fingers can’t keep pace with my thoughts. This has been weighing heavily on my mind since Friday morning.

The difference is nobody is claiming that he deserved to die for his misognynoir the way those who would bring up a criminal past would. The question is how much effort should Black women put into being on the front lines for a man who wanted nothing to do with them. Perhaps the women he preferred would like to take…

SHE is neither of those things. Vintage3000 wouldn’t recognize my name here but I’ve seen her on Clutch for quite some time before she came here and while we may not always agree one thing she is not as a bloody bot or a neo-nazi shill. Not that she needs me to take up for her because she is more than capable of…

I don’t see anyone justifying his murder due to his misogynoir. There are people withholding their support but that’s certainly not the same as cheering for someone’s murder and it’s disingenuous to say so.

I feel two ways about this.

You know that thing that happens when a black person, usually a man or Stacey Dash type, lives the white life and spends their public time ragging on black folk, and then the whites turn on them and alllll of a sudden they turn black again and start basically asking us to support them, like Clarence Thomas way back…

I have so many thoughts on this. Your last sentence sums it up “it cannot go without mention.”

It’s being discussed on YouTube too. I saw a couple of videos saying “why Stephon Clark doesn’t deserve our support” and variations on that theme. I watched one of them and learned about this mess. It cannot go without mention.

I think the question is in light of his preferences (if that’s what you want to call his blatant misogynoir) how much effort should Black women put into fighting for this particular man. Perhaps his woman should be out there protesting on his behalf but let’s be real, that’s not going to happen.

I was wondering if this would be mentioned. I was on another site yesterday and folks were coming hard with the receipts.

Now I don’t even have to look up gaslighting in the dictionary.

Asshole, we are very aware of you and of the sexual assaults you’ve committed and bragged about.
