Black women: What are your experiences of abuse by black men?

I've been raped, humiliated and tormented by black men all my life. Just recently I was involved with a BM who would insist on putting me down and physically abusing me. It didn't start that way.

I tried setting aside the many issues I've always had with them by giving him a chance (he'd been trying to talk to me for a while) so now I just feel like I betrayed myself.

What are some of your experiences of BM abuse towards you?
