A few reasons black women are less likely to report being raped:

I was baffled to find out that black women are more likely to be raped than white women because you never hear about black women in the news, only white women.

But then I also found out that part of the reason you do not hear about black female victims is because they are less likely to report it, this along with the fact that black women are already seen as lesser than therefore the media does not pay them much attention.

But one of the 2 biggest reasons black women are likely not to report it is because:

1. the police: even when the victim does report it, often more than not they will not listen, they do not care. In fact, they are more likely to blame her and say she wanted it.

2. In some rape cases, it was done from a domestic abuse case, in which the husband or boyfriend sexually assaulted her out of control. They say black women are more likely to tolerate it in an abusive relationship, this mostly stems from the fact that black women are also less likely to marry, and they want to be married, and some will often settle for less.

Its scary, but blacks suffer the most socially in every way possible. Blacks surprisingly are more likely to die from skin cancer, blacks are more likely to get many diseases, it irritates me to always see that blacks suffer the most from all bad things. We all know this stems from not having enough money for healthcare (which is why I am for universal healthcare as no one should suffer just because they are poor).

It sux. It truly is impossible to combat racism. We are always going to suffer.
