Is there any particular reason why you mention his race? Domestic violence is not race specific. I'm a white woman who was married to a black man, with him for a total of ten years. We had our share of disputes, but he was NEVER physically or emotionally abusive.  After 30 years, we are still friends and I'm still very close with my ex-inlaws. They are good people. 
When we were married, it was strangers on the street who attacked us and threatened to kill us. You're right - no one stepped up to protect us. In fact, they thought it was funny.
Prior to this marriage I almost married a white man, but he became abusive and physically violent and vowed to kill me. He even attacked my father.
I'm sorry you feel this way.
