There was always something the song "All This Love" that made my teeth grit. Must be I recognized kindred souls. Maybe folks would believe it now althoug no one would speak on it back then but bad things DID happen to children. Ask me how I know.
That line hit me hard so much so I wasn’t sure if I should reply. I could feel the weight behind it. There’s so much wrapped in silence from back then especially around kids. Thank you for trusting the space enough to say that much man.
Isn't this how it's always been with women of color? Black women sold to the highest bidder, indigenous women murdered, disappeared into unmarked graves. Killed or abused by so called holy men. (I don't want to minimize the abuse that many young men go through also which I think is something that's often overlooked). When it happens to white women it gets a little more notice (make that a lot more). Still as we see, powerful men still have the ability to try to change the narrative and give relief to those complicit in the crimes. Because she's a women (in an upside down sort of way) they are trying to cast her as a victim (ignoring the true victims, typical huh?). She is as guilty (maybe even more so) than the men. She was the lure as well as the perpetrater. If she's released, like a worm that is cut, she will rejuvenate and start the offenses over again.
