the black woman
My good ugandan friend Kwame and his brother Solo love love litsening to an R&B song called " You are my african queen". The song is like an anthem to these guyz who are reputed "ladies men". The song got me thinking about the uniqueness of The Black Woman.
Kwame always tells me when he says goodbye "stay black..my brother, stay black". My friends know me to be a little harsh when it comes to women so they will be surprised that I do have something positive to say about women and in this case, The Black Woman.
Black women have endured hardship, immense suffering and untold misery at the hands of men and other races. The trials and tribulations of the black woman have forged a strong, beautiful, diligent, compassionate and ultra-confident species. I cannot help but admire The Black Woman. Now don't get me wrong, there is garbage out there however, the Black Woman in general, stands incomparable to women of other race. Black women are known to stand by their men through difficult times evn though they often settle for less when it comes to relationships. The Black Woman is not afraid to face adversity at the darkest hour and her tears have won many a battles.
Some of the high ranking individuals in my profession are Black Women. The Police Chief of one of the most dangerous cities in the US, Detroit, is a black woman. It takes a special individual to command Police Officers and for a woman to hold these position, she must have gone through the fire and tasted her own blood.
Black women have set precedence in all areas and sectors of society. In medicine, politics, law, religion, education, business, the black woman has become an overachieving, confident icon of progress. So, Kudos to The Black Woman, you trully make us proud and may your radiant power and beauty shine forever. Long Live The African Queen.
