Tichina Arnold asks another final question
I saw it this morning and it was tough. I honestly we cannot protect Black Women if Black Women want to be an independent entity outside of Black America. I like the metaphor Jay used in the "Do Black Men Protect Black Women" video:

I can make the plan for you but if you don't follow it, how can I protect you?

We can do our best to convince them to allow us to protect them.I fell like we have to show and prove but at the same time they have to allow us too.
Maybe I'm getting old and out of touch, but IN MY OPINION the "unprotected Black woman" narrative is a recent phenomenon.
The Black men who were in my life (my dad, my uncles, older cousins, family friends, men in my neighborhood, men in church, etc.) provided and protected their wives, girlfriends, daughters, sisters, and friends. All of the brothers in my circle today are cut from that protective, masculine cloth.
SISTERS, I AM NOT SAYING THAT YOU ARE UNPROTECTED TODAY. I am only trying to get clarity and understanding about when you feel that we (Black men) started underperforming in our duties.
Do you feel that we are actually not protecting Black women, do you think that the "unprotected Black woman" is part of the gender war narrative that is dividing us, or do you believe something entirely different?
I'm genuinely interested in hearing what Black women think.

THIIIIIS!
It is why I struggled with the question because I do not believe they are not protected. I believe that they are feeling the impacts of their warrior class being under constant attack and some have interpreted that as a lack of protection. Also, female coons use this as a jump off point to propagate anti-Black propaganda with a feminist twist which also muddles the discussion.
In the end, Black women are protected as much as the enemy number 1 in the USA can protect them. We are hired less, fired first, paid less, arrested more, sentenced for longer, demonized in media, less likely to get a loan, when we get a loan it’s at higher rates. etc. To look at this and say “Black men have dropped the ball” is basically a coon mindset.
Well, that's a thoughtful question but in reality, you can only be successful in protecting who wants to be protected or who wants your protection because from what's been going on lately, it seems our black women aren't that open to our protection even when we are not having it easy ourselves.

Can the Secret Service protect a President that doesn't follow their instruction?
NOPE!!
That's a very good question but I believe that with respect to the the president, there is an exception to what he agrees to when it comes to his protection.
There are situations where the president would be forced against his will when there is a known and identified threat to his life.
A whole lot keeps changing everyday, but what is important to note is that right from the 90s, Black men have done their part in protecting their wives, the daughters and women over here. This question makes me wonder what Arnold is seeking to find.
It's so much going on out here. If you are a real ones and not about all this confusion each will do the right thing.
