Words from a VERY SPECIAL BLACK WOMAN!

The following entry is from the words of a loving mother and a very caring woman that has contributed many ideas to the few works that this author has written. Here are her thoughts and feelings unedited and left exactly as it was sent to me. ENJOY!

Why are women angry?
People call women emotional. Maybe because we feel so deeply is the reason we are so angry at black men right now. Women have been forced to become hard. By necessity we have had to make our own way. Is that the blackman fault? Where was my prince in shining armor when I needed him?. That fairy tale life was just that , a fairy tale. There dont seem to be enough prince charmings these days to go around, and we are tired of kissing all those frogs. We are looking for men that have already gotten there act together, Right ladies?. Men that are through with the game playing and are ready to come straight. Sure we can survive by ourselves, but man and woman are meant to be together to be a part of each other. AT least that is what our desires tell us if we are not in denial.
It use to be women didnot have to deal with all the stress of the world and the stresses at home too. women have been forced to change because we want to be a deciding force in this world. we want to make decision about what is right for us. as a result we dont get enough rest, enough nuturing, or peace. Stress makes you feel tired, weighed down and angry.
also we have not had a lot of time to devote to the mechanics of relationships and men. Most women are too busy trying to survive and raise their children to become good productive citizens most of the time with not much help from thier fathers. Because some men haven't gotten it yet, that their presence or absence in thier children lives has an influence for good or bad.
When we meet a man he should be able to contribute and make things better that we think is what his first role of leadership should be. But is that the way it works out. NO, he wants us to follow his lead, his ideas and his dreams. Well first what is your track record 0 and 0, Give me a break. Let's face it the world is a play ground for men and we are not playing anymore. Am I angry? Yes Iam angry and damn tired of it. So Mister before you step to me you had better come correct or not come at all or you WILL get your feelings hurt. SISTA is on a mission.

Words from the author!

In writing angry black women I feel that I have to walk a very delicate line. This is a very sensitive subject for black women. It is for this reason that I decided to take my time and write on this subject as precise and objective as I can. So I decided that the early introduction to this entry should be done by someone that is more then qualified to comment on a topic of this magnatude. The best person to contribute to something like this would obviously be a black women. Due to privacy I will not list the personal reasons why this particular black woman that I chose is the perfect black woman to write this introduction. However, after reading the following words I believe that everyone not just black women will whole heartedly identify and imbibe the strong feelings that are behind the words that are written. As a man it may be hard to be completely objective in my commnentary. By adding some balance by having a very SPECIAL black woman write to this piece, I very strongly doubt that any black woman reading this post as it unfolds will say that it is partial to black men and that it is not relevant to the struggle that black women face in America.
