Everyone seems to be on the same page in denouncing domestic violence, agreeing that the issue has continued to plague our society, and perhaps our legal system needs to be revamped so that offenders get what they really deserve.
Unfortunately, most cases of domestic violence are brought against the male in the relationship. While many of these cases are proven to be legitimate, there are so many others that are brought on by false allegations by the female involved, and in some cases, by the male.I am sure there are many of you out there that know of someone who has been falsely accused of domestic violence by a partner that was either drunk, embarrassed, or felt shamed by his or her partner.
Let me just tell, whether the DV allegations are false or not, they live forever in public records.
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
Regardless, there is no excuse for anyone, man or woman, to put their hands on their respective partner, girlfriend, fiancee, or wife.
This said, has anyone noticed that it seems as if the majority of domestic violence cases in professional sports are made against black men?
We have all heard and seen the Ray Rice video, where he knocks out his then-fiancée with a closed fist, as well as learned about the July conviction of Carolina Panthers Greg Hardy on domestic violence charges.
These are not to isolate cases. Domestic violence cases and allegations have long been filed against black athletes, and the media has refused to press the issue of “Black-on-Black” crime.
It appears taht domestic violence is more prominent in the black community than in any other.
Well, don’t take my word for it. Take the word of numerous black women across the country, including that of black activist Feminsta Jones, who wrote an op-ed for Time magazine about this issue.
And for Black women, it’s an even bigger problem: Black women are almost three times as likely to experience death as a result of DV/IPV than White women. And while Black women only make up 8% of the population, 22% of homicides that result from DV/IPV happen to Black Women and 29% of all victimized women, making it one of the leading causes of death for Black women ages 15 to 35. Statistically, we experience sexual assault and DV/IPV at disproportionate rates and have the highest rates of intra-racial violence against us than any other group. We are also less likely to report or seek help when we are victimized.
The reasons Black women suffer disproportionately from abuse are complex. Racism and sexism are two of the biggest obstacles that Black women in America face. But because many Black women and men believe racism is a bigger issue than sexism, Black women tend to feel obligated to put racial issues ahead of sex-based issues.–Feminista Jones
Could it be that these black athletes have it engrained in their minds that it is ‘Ok’ to beat down a woman because that what many of them grew up witnessing?
I bet if athletes like Rice and Hardy were Caucasian, Sharpton would have already orchestrated some kind of protest outside of that players home, and insisted that the NFL ban them for life.
My friend Wayne Dupree said it best on Twitter.
Where is the outrage from the race-baiters of the world like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Louis Farrakhan?
BOOM SUGAR! ➡ If you look at these NFL players accused of domestic violence they are all black. Where’s the Sharpnuts outrage now?

Let’s be very clear here. Domestic violence transcends across all racial groups and ethnicities.
