‘Brickgate’ revives an age-old argument between Black men and women

In a social media post, a Black woman decried a group of Black men standing nearby on the street. Shouting tearfully, the woman, Roda Osman, who is known online as Ro Bashe, recounts being attacked by a man who had recently fled. She refused to give the man her phone number. In the video she appears to have a large knot on her cheek. 

“Yo, this man just hit me in my face with a brick and all these Black men just watched,” Osman said in the clip reposted by The Shade Room, which has more than 1 million likes.
