Domestic Violence is becoming a sport.

Pre 1960 early 70s, domestic violence was looked at as a common house hold happenstance. And Women were seen as property. Therefore they were able to be beat and raped by their husbands just as slaves were beat and raped by their masters.
Once women started being able to work and vote, there was truly a point in time where domestic violence from any party was frowned upon. Men that beat women were looked at as the scum of the earth, and women that beat men were looked at as mentally unstable.
Fast forward to 2023 who would've imaged that we would have regressed and are back at a point where bashing, beating, skooting, and booting each other upside the head is a thing.... again. The difference now is that experiencing domestic violence is not limited to women but can be the experience of any individual in todays society.
If you recall when the domestic dispute occurred between Rihanna and Chris Brown it was gaining on sop media coverage that was in 2009. Chris was painted to be a complete monster, in spite of them both basically being teenagers at the time. I was only 1 years old and i remember it clearly. As well as he initiative of the black women community to stop supporting him.

Since the year 2018 we have seen an influx of domestic violence. You would THINK that the support for DV would have grown since 2009, but now that we live in the society of clout chasers, and pick-me scaly waggs we cannot seem to liberate ourselves from this issue. Since 2018 rappers, and other influencers can get always with brutalizing BLACK women with little to no consequences, and if the women doubles down on consequence she receives and immense amount of backlash from the "Community."
A great example would be the Bluefaces and Chriseans of the internet who beat each other over the head like they're at a back yard hoe down show down. He punches her in the face for his phone, she hits him over the head with a bottle of bub. And once one person (the women) is tired and wants to be treated with some respect, society laughs at them, and tells them they brought it on themselves. While T.V networks like Zeus capitalize off this pain. By this point the Stockholm syndrome has really settled in and the victim thinks its their fault, and at the absolute least they can make a little money off of their horrific story.
Meanwhile Blueface is not only abusing the girl, but publicly humiliating her every chance he gets, while liquoring her up, and gaslighting her. And some how, grown ass black people thought these antics deserved a show? And don't even get me started on lil Stewie, because unfortunately she too is a victim that is made a laughing stock. Meanwhile both victims laughing at each other, and the internet is laughing at everyone but Blueface. It's a circus.
Social media has become the arena for domestic disuted. You got the two opposing teams battling it out, with an audience and every time one side post they get more views, and potentially likes and a following.
Then we have situations like lil Uzi where people just outright said they did not believe his ex's allegations. But why? What makes y'all think these men are so nice and kind that they would no hurt a fly? Is it the volatile lyrics, or the blatant disrespect for women? People think that little spat with JT throwing her phone and Uzi not responding means she has him in check, but EYE [I] personally believe that behind closed doors it's very much different. That is a key element of manipulation. Allowing your audience to see only the parts of you that you want them to see.
In the current climate we live in a black man and kick a black women in the head completely unsolicited and be preforming at the Grammys the next day.
BUT don't let it get confused it has to the RIGHT black man, because if you're unapologetically black they will wish you to the corn field. Like Da baby who didn't hit anyone but was cancelled, but Blueface, YK osiris, Fabulous, and anyone else can be forgiven by their counterparts in the industry. It's never a outright "I think beating women is okay" because then we would HAVE to be outraged right? But the silence speak volumes. No one speaks out, a week later we're back to the same old trick from the same stank dicks. It's getting old.
Of course these things don't only occur in the rap community, but for some odd reason when actors and athletes get handsey their taken down immediately. I start to wonder is it because of their occupations proximity to whiteness or because people with these occupations almost always are dating a white women. Take Jonathan Majors domestic violence case, he has not been proven guilty, but already deals are being pulled. Antonio Brown hasn't played since January 2022. No one wants to be associated with black men who beat women other than black men, and pick me women who are absolutely clueless.
The reality of all of this is, black men in certain communities are not held accountable for their actions toward black women by the vast majority. The idea that you can brutilize a black women and walk away unscaved is the reality for most people. That is why i have no mercy or words for the loser who recently beat a women he didnt know and got popped where he stood.
And one last thing before y'all chop this entire post up to me hating black men, know first that i LOVE all of my people. And want our community to come together. I've been covering issues in the black community for years. And at one point genuinely felt black men were THE MOST neglected . This was in 2017, over the years the climate has shifted, and so has my understanding of our dynamic as a community.
I hope that we can stop treating domestic violence as a sport or means of entertainment and just love on each other.
