MY RANT

I have taken part in conversations, recently and in the past, about black women.  So many people are saying, "black women are nasty" "black women have bad attitudes" "all black women are b*tches and hoes."  I was speaking with a male family member and he said to me "all black women are b*tches."  So I looked at him and asked, "So.....am I a bitch?"  He said, "No...I didn't mean you."  The thing is, so many people are bashing us, even our black men.  What black men don't realize is the same people that are bashing us are bashing them also.  They say we have nasty attitudes, when they speak to us we don't smile and speak back.  So what if we don't?  Does it mean the world is going to come to an end @ that very moment if we don't speak to you?  I don't think so.  So many black men keep saying sistas need to step up and do your part.  Well brothas, a lot of us have stepped up but you all don't want to recognize that.  A lot of the black men that complain about black women are also the ones that say they wouldn't date a black woman.  I, for one, don't really care if you don't want me because I'm a black woman.  If you are dating someone just because they are white, asian, or whatever, then you are with that person for the wrong reason and your relationship will fail.

I do agree with some of the things brothas say though.  Black women, for a while, for those of you that can, pull your wigs and hair pieces off, take the weave out, get rid of the relaxers.  Show your natural beauty.  Okay, the wigs and weaves can go back on but do you know what type of chemicals and poisons are in the relaxers that you put on your hair?  I can't pronounce them but I don't put that mess in my head.  I rock the natural and I'm loving it!!!  Whenever you put that mess in your hair it soaks into your body because it gets on your skin and the skin is going to absorb any type of liquid or cream that gets on it.  Even when you wear your hair natural you can always straighten it out by doing a blowout.  Also, brazilian relaxers are another option.  Their are some that are made of all natural ingredients and work just as well as a chemical relaxer.

I have so much more I would like to say but I will save it for another day,.  So until next time.....................
