ONLY A BLACK WOMAN
|
Posted By: Stacey Larkin on March 23, 2006 ONLY A BLACK WOMAN Can work full time while finishing school, raising respectful and intelligent children, be active in the PTA, be the pastor's secretary, and the choir president and a make it all seem effortless ONLY A BLACK WOMAN Can make a $1.00 out of 15 Cents ONLY A BLACK WOMAN Can go from the boardroom to the 'hood and "keep it real" in both places. ONLY A BLACK WOMAN Can slap the taste out of your mouth. ONLY A BLACK WOMAN Can put a Black man and his non-Black date on pins and needles just by walking into the room. ONLY A BLACK WOMAN Can live below poverty level and yet set fashion trends. ONLY A BLACK WOMAN Can fight two struggles everyday and make it look easy. ONLY A BLACK WOMAN Can make a child happy on Christmas Day even if he didn't get a darn thing. ONLY A BLACK WOMAN Can be admired and fantasized about by men of other races and know that when she does cross over it's done out of sincerity, not a political move. ONLY A BLACK WOMAN Can be 75 years old and look 45! ONLY A BLACK WOMAN Can make other women want to pay plastic surgeons top $$$ for physical features she was already born with. ONLY A BLACK WOMAN Can be the mother of civilization. Did Ya Hear me? If you are BLACK in origin, please do not delete.... If we can forward "Ghetto" degrading e-mail, we can do the same here... Pass it on to good friends of yours... Let Black Women come together... Tell someone they're beautiful today - You're Beautiful!
