What is a Strong Black Woman


What is a strong black woman?

every time I hear you say that it makes me cringe because it’s followed by all the reasons why you don’t need a man. Yet you do the singles things, try to get the hook up and you push up to men as if your life depends on it. Maybe your biological clock doesn’t realize that you got it going on. You shout to the world that it’s hard to find a good man but excuse me didn’t you say you didn’t need one?
You seek to impress with all your accomplishments and accolades as if those are the things that make you the woman , you don’t even see that the woman has disappeared. You have transformed yourself into a billboard of all you have done, yet you still seek that one.

What is a strong black woman?
Is it the fact that the world can’t see you cry yourself to sleep because no matter what you have bought you are still not happy? You say that your man NEEDS to have as much or more than what you have but you disrespect yourself all the time sleeping with the prestige and cash, but your still alone is that what makes you strong? Is a strong black woman that lost?

You can pay your own bills, buy your own home, drive your own car , pay for your own travel so why do you want a man, to carry your bags?
Your attitude of superiority makes the men you seek run. Yes they want a strong woman but they don’t want to compete for position with you. I’m not saying you should not be proud of what you have done I understand , you won. But how long will you continue proclaiming that you are a STRONG BLACK WOMAN! And crying yourself to sleep …alone?

What is a strong black woman? And why do you say men are intimidated by your success? Could they just have an aversion to the negative attitudes and behaviors you exude, who wants to date a woman that wants to rule? Oh yeah I forgot you’re a queen.
Has it ever occurred to you to look in the mirror and ask yourself “Who Am I” ?
Take away the job, the degree, the lipstick, the weave, the earrings, the expensive clothes what do you have , do you know , do you know?

What is a strong black woman ?
What makes you strong? Can you list the things that make you valuable? Without the material things you have acquired?
What is a strong black woman and why are they all alone? Can you find a happy medium so you can have a happy home?

Stop calling me bitching about how it’s so hard being an educated woman as if that’s what keep you from finding happiness. Stop telling yourself that you are some kind of commodity, wake up to reality. You strong black woman are the only one standing in the way of your happiness. Get over yourself. Go find that old lady down the street that raised 12 children, was married for 65 years , held it down when times got rough with no degree, no prestigious job, no designer clothes and sometimes not enough money to eat ask her to give you the meaning of a strong black woman and when she tells you ….be that.

Stop complaining that you can’t find a good man. Maybe you can’t find one because you need to find yourself first . What do you NEED, do you even know?
Stop believing that bullshit about the American Dream and start living by your own.
I think being a strong black woman means finding a balance in all you do but most of all finding that formula that works for you . And if you’re bitching and moaning about how hard it is to be a STRONG BLACK WOMAN then it’s not really working is it?
What is a strong black woman? Can someone please explain this to me?
I seek to be strong, I am an AFRO Latin woman, but what makes me a strong black woman? Do I even want to be what the world perceives that to be?
