There’s a good point here, which is that the disparity in economic power between black men and black women has always been very very different that between white men and white women (which will affect how patriarchy is expressed in the black community).

Culture exists, and men of all races use cultural power to manipulate women. And hell for that matter, physical violence, in a community that has limited to no access to a justice system that might restrain physical violence, can be pretty damn important.
