"She didn't even know this man but protected him without any concern or fear"
Sigh. Black women are out here volunteering to be coats for men.
It’s embedded in us to protect black men, “they have it rough”And what did it get her? Was she picked? Did she get a cookie? Purple heart? Medal of valor? Key to the city?
I really need to know what compels so many of us to do this.
The simple answer is how people grew up and what they were exposed to. It is very hard to change behavior even if you tried to change from your past.I really need to know what compels so many of us to do this.

I don't understand this. Everyone holding back the guys not to fight but let those two women in front just stand there in his face yelling and arguing with him. Not a single person told those women to step back until the black woman jumped up and punched him. And only then did they come try to take her away.
I have only once in my life tried to break up a fight and I was 16 years old and it was 2 of my girl friends. I wasn't getting anywhere and a guy friend of mine who didn't know them but knew me jumped in to break them up for me. He was successful. That was when I learned fighting and breaking them up (no matter who it was!) was for the boys. Never did that again for anyone.
I don’t think many of us have this mode anymore, it has been made obsolete by the constant need to protect ourselves because we are always left unprotected. Add that to the overwhelming expectations of others (especially black men) to protect and save them for the past couple of centuries and this is what you get. We have some unlearning to do so we can rediscover what it is and means to be a damsel in distress sometimes. Or was it always undiscovered in the first place???Yeah it’s hard-wired in women to stand up against what’s wrong. Which isn’t bad, but we need to pick our battles and exercise our “damsel in distress” mode more often.
I wouldn't do that for a man I know so def not for a stranger. I''ll call 911
