The police blotter section of the newspaper reported that two women
aged 29 and 32 were arrested for beating a third woman. The
age and name of the victim was not released. The mauling took
place at a Little League baseball game in front of several children,
including children of all three parties involved. One of the
attackers was also charged with child endangerment and aggravated
unlawful use of a weapon.
The story also stated that the two women attacked the
victim because she was having an affair with the 32 year-old’s
husband. Without mention of race, I knew then that at least
one of the women was black.
As it turns out, all three women were black, but had
that information not been forthcoming, there was a dead giveaway in
the story that one of the attackers was a black woman. Black
women who find themselves betrayed by their men will always direct
their most venomous revenge at the other woman while letting her man
off the hook.
Yes, the black woman will scream, cuss, cry, and holla’
at her man. She may merely threaten to have an affair herself.
She may even attempt to get him fired or burn a few of his clothes.
She may even scratch his car with keys, but she will save all her
physical retaliation for the other woman.
Why? The other woman did not make any promises to
her. Even if it’s a best friend or relative, women don’t
promise not to sleep with each other’s man. Black men make
promises to love, cherish, honor, and obey their women. Should
he violate those promises, he is readily forgiven.
The other woman will undoubtedly suffer forever.
Long after the affair has been replaced with hugs and kisses and
roses, the man is forgiven. However, the other woman is not.
She is forever the home wrecker. She is accused of breaking
something she never put together. She is the one who made the
husband betray his wife. She is the one who will be called all
the FCC-forbidden words.
Black women who have been cheated on will look upon the
other woman as if she raped the man, not as the other victim who was
manipulated just as easily as she was. The other woman will be
attacked like a farmer would a fox caught in his chicken yard.
And every time it happens, the black woman tends to act as if it’s
the first time her man has done it.
The black woman who has been cheated on reacts like the
parent of a bad child. She will immediately place all blame on
the teacher. In most cases, the men in these situations are
still like a child.
I have never understood how black women take the story
from the Bible and apply it today. The story was about an adulterous
woman who was about to be stoned for sleeping with a man, but there
was no mention of stoning the male counterpart who was just as much
an adulterer. Men have been getting away with stuff for a long,
long, time.
Lawd. I am so glad I am not a black woman, or the
other woman, or any woman. |
