Another Angry Black Woman...

Or not... An angry black woman is one who finds out her husband has been on the downlow for most of their marriage... An angry black woman is one who's just found out that she's HIV positive from her boyfriend of 2 years... An angry black woman is one who walked in on her significant other cheating on her... An angry black woman is one who's been standing in line for 10 mins to have someone cut in front of her... An angry black woman is one who over hears someone talkin bad about her kids... An angry black woman is one who told her kids to clean the house, and then see that they made it worse...
....................These are just some of the many examples of what I think are the true definition of what an angry black woman is. Society tries to pin it as a woman who's just mad at the world because she can't get a good black man or says something if she sees a black man with a white woman(or whatever they can come up with)... If I may be so rude to interrupt this outslaught of beclouded thoughts... I'd like to challenge you with these ideas....
Black women today are caught in the middle of many exhausting situations. One is. there is a shortage of available black men for women who are searching for a companion/husband. So, already black women are at a slight disadvantage. And then to add along with that, there are more educated black women then black men. There's an idea out there saying that black women are too picky and that they've become so independent that they really don't need a man. Mmmm...maybe some woman are on that track but a lot of women aren't. There are plenty(PLENTY!) of black women who have Doctorates, Masters and Bachelors degrees who are with men who have a lower degree than them, or who have never graduated from high school. Another idea is that educated black women are the "pawns" of the white man, and that we are trying to undercut our black men. It is true that black men have it way harder than black women to make it in society...but that also doesn't give you the right to just make us your scapegoat, because we choose to capitalize on the opportunity that was presented to us. Isn't it obvious that things are harder for black men because they are seen as a threat? Ain't nothin scarier than an educated black man wit good credit, good morals, blah blah blah....(it's super sexy to me tho). Gettin angry wit us isn't goin to change your situation.... Another one is when white women aggresively go after high profile black men, they are seen as supportive and assertive. But let a black woman try that, and she's labeled as a gold digger. Is that not the same thing? And lastly... the most exhausting situation would have to be watching our black men, marry white women(to me that's the ultimate slap in the face). Not that i'm sayin interracial marriages/love/what have you... is wrong... it's just that if some people were really honest with themselves...is love really the reason why you married this woman?
So to sort of sum all this together.... angry.....ain't really the emotion portrayed here....angry has long since passed. I believe the correct terminology for this is FRUSTRATION (And it's understandable to see how you could get the two mixed up). What many people are used to seeing is the product of this frustration. I believe that black women are THE most loyal group of people out there... and it just sucks (it really really really sucks) that we deal wit this shit. There are just somethings that white woman or whatever was married... will never understand. There is a connection between black men and women that runs so deep that it can't be touched. And i guess we black women are just SO FRUSTRATED wit our counterparts because we feel that we are doing everything right, and we put our men on a pedestal but.... our black men just don't reciprocate. And I believe the most amazing part is... we still stand by you... frustrating right???
