Is The Strong Black Woman Dead?

I don't believe that the strong black woman is dead. There is definitely a shortage of them as are a shortage of strong black men.

I'm going to try to give my thoughts on this matter and I hope that i don't come off as offensive... The way i see it is that there is a split between strong black women and all the other black women. I mean it seems that being independent is more of a trend than a mindset. Destiny's Child come out with a song about being independent and it seems like all women are independent, but they're just claiming the title and not really representing it well. Some women will say they're independent until they get with a guy and just become subservient to him and give up on their dreams for him. I think that if strong black women were more united then their voices would be heard more. If women weren't just able to claim the title like it was something like a pair of Jordan's then women could really unify.

Another thing that's messing up the self-esteem of women is the media and I sadly witnessed this first hand. My ex girlfriend felt uncomfortable watching movies with me because she felt that I obsessed over the actresses and didn't think she was beautiful. I thought she was the most beautiful person, but in the back of my mind I was like... the actress is good looking. I had to have a wake-up call from her about that and I sincerely apologized for making her feel that way. It kind of messed up our relationship and is partially the reason we're no longer together. The media has made looking like a black women more enticing for every woman except for black women. While white women are trying to get thicker hips and lips to look like black women, black women are getting breast implants, botox, and nose jobs to try to look like white women. The media is such a cruel cruel being.

Myself personally, I can think of nothing more beautiful than a black woman who's passionate about what she wants in life and wants someone who's just as passionate about her as she is about him. I think that's another problem for black women. just finding a man willing to uplift them to be strong. Black women are put down so often, forced to raise children and households on their own, and paid the least. To bring back the strong black women, we need to start with the men. Teach these boys that bitch and ho aren't terms of endearment and if a woman doesn't want to have sex with you, she's not a snob.

I've said too much...sorry just went off on a tangent
