"White male aggression against Black Women has always been a bitter pill for the Black community to swallow, not simply because it is sexual aggression, but because it is white male sexual aggression. There are, of course, historical explanations as to why Black men respond violently to white men abusing Black women. Men are not men if they don’t have control over “their” women… This sense of Black male emasculation is very real in the Black community; almost everyone buys into it on a certain level… What is insidious about the emasculation thesis is that it acquiesces in patriarchal notions of domestic relationships. It results in Black men seeing their manhood in terms of the control they have over Black women and Black women’s sexuality."
