Allow me to be the second person to enter your brand new forum! Thank you.

The fact that we still stand, that we continue to overcome, that we continue to make incredible strides and positively enhance the lives of ALL those around us (even though we don't get credit), and the fact that even though much of our story is suppressed, we prevail and continue to make history!! Our strength and endurance continue to intimidate. So to me, we are all self-appointed spokespeople for the Black Experience. Amen?

Stop pimping me! Let’s take a closer look at the phrase, ‘Black Women are Always so Angry’. Virtually, every day that I turn on the TV and channel flip, there are ‘Housewives’ of all colors, nationalities and social statuses… and guess what – They’re ALL often angry!!! Then, damn if I don’t flip the channel and hear someone ask: ‘Why are Black Women Always so Angry!’ And, to top it off, there was a show that followed that where a so-called ‘Angry’ Black Woman was in the process of coming face to face with her anger because she has been convinced that, indeed, her constant anger is why her man now dates a off-color. Hmmm, truth, excuse or something else?!! I should mention that this show was not geared toward one Angry Black woman, but rather a group of alleged ‘Angry Black Women’!! What’s really sad, is that these beautiful black women have been pimped by society(so take a look in the mirror & see if the shoe fits) into believing they are truly ‘ALWAYS angry’ and need to be ‘fixed’. So, my question, who pimped society into believing that Black Women are Always so Angry? (Take another look in the mirror - shoe fit?) If you(society) would stop using this stereotype as an excuse for the choices you make, you’d sleep better, love harder, live happier. Om jus say’n. No, I'm NOT an Angry Black Woman'....I'm a Black Beauty that's in love with Black Women and their curvy hips, kinky hair, luscious lips, amazing tone, and their beautiful, forgiving souls. BTW, Why do some spend so much time talking about white people and what they're thinking, feeling, saying, and acting....when there is so much wonder and beauty in our people to honor? Let's spend more time talking about that. Hellerrr.. I'm over here.

I will gladly read a book of 37 letters. I was interested in the fact that it encourages reflection and expression of one's own feelings.
