In the Days of Noor: How Black Women Should Approach Police Brutality

In the Days of Noor

In this podcast we discuss Stephon Clark another black man recently killed by the police in yet another case of police brutality, but what is the place of black women in the fight against police brutality especially for a man who seemed to that black women? "Black Women shouldn’t risk their lives for black men, period. Will there be a black man to support all these black women caping for black men online if they lose their jobs? Will there be a black man to bail us out of jail if we get arrested at one of these marches? Are black men protecting our bodies from state violence? No, no and no. Men are supposed to protect women not the other way around, somehow our community has it backward and black Women are on the front lines. And that doesn’t even touch the fact that these marches, hashtags, and YouTube rants do absolutely *nothing* to stop police brutality. Let’s spend time changing what is in our power to change -having better relationships, homeschooling (so our kids don’t have to unlearn racism), support black businesses, encouraging more of our own to enter into the police force and end police brutality first hand. Black women need to self-protect and focus on being down for men who are down for us and building our communities in ways that don’t destroy us."
