    The problem is with men or their lovers, most men 99% love their white sons, even if he can help himself and marry a black woman, he must find someone else outside of his marriage. but also wearing a wig, adding nails, fake eyelashes,.. it's all the same as treating your skin, because it's all about rejecting your normal body.

  • @itslindah26
    @itslindah26 3 місяці тому

    This episode… whew! There is little to no safe space in our community for people who have gone through sv. The first reaction is usually shaming the individual, and dismissing the pain, the physical and spiritual implications. Now families should also consider the seriousness of this matter and stop this culture of “hush money” so there won’t be any “scandal”. This is serious.

    • @emotalkshow
      @emotalkshow 3 місяці тому

      You’re so right-this issue runs deep in our communities, and it's heartbreaking how often survivors are met with shame or silence instead of support. The lack of safe spaces for those who have gone through sexual violence is damaging on so many levels-physically, emotionally, and spiritually. And the culture of “hush money” to avoid scandals only perpetuates the problem, protecting abusers while silencing victims. Families, communities, and society at large need to confront the seriousness of this issue head-on. This conversation is long overdue, and we must prioritize healing and justice over protecting reputations. Thank you for speaking truth!

    To most people, it's a matter of pride, ego, or fear of retribution from the violators. Telling on the violators is prime and has to be encouraged by all means. Most of these rapes are premeditated. If not, then the perpetrator has become psychotic. What do you do at that point? Tell or not tell!? This is a whole dissertation, but it needs to be talked about even in half sentences.

    • @emotalkshow
      @emotalkshow 3 місяці тому

      You're absolutely right-this is such a complex and layered issue. Pride, ego, and fear of retribution all play huge roles in why many survivors struggle with speaking out, and that’s why creating safe, supportive environments where they feel protected is crucial. Encouraging people to tell their stories is vital, but we also need to focus on preventing the violence in the first place and addressing the mindset of the perpetrators. It’s definitely a conversation that can’t be summarized in one sentence, but the fact that we’re even talking about it is a step in the right direction. Thank you for bringing up such important points! Let’s keep the dialogue going.

    It takes a village doesn't mean allowing others to babysit them, be in control of them, raise them or even be alone with them. It means saying something to the parents if you see that child slipping or calling the appropriate people if the child is being abuse or neglected. It means holding teachers and parents accountable for their education or lack of. It means being a voice for that child if they are heading down the wrong path.

    • @emotalkshow

  • @tiffanypersaud3518
    @tiffanypersaud3518 3 місяці тому

    I am always disposed at how even loved ones can end up protecting the predator more than the child this way. That’s not community. That is a dissolving of parental responsibility. Kid’s don’t forget that. They might never trust you again and might always have a strained relationship with you. Parents will even say “I was doing the best I thought at the time.” They should add “I was wrong.”

    • @wheath750
      @wheath750 3 місяці тому

      Not to mention the trust issues it cause that child for the rest of their lives. Lack of family and parental protection and loyalty screws a person up for life.

    I have just come across this blog for the first time, and I appreciate your talk. I am Mubembe. I visited back home after getting married, I was shocked to see how our Babembe men give first priority to their relatives than their wives. I wished Babembe young men would be taught what it means to get married and the place that one's wife should take into their lives. My wife, my first priority. God first, my wife second and then my relatives will come. Keep the conversation on.
