Attitude

Taken from Essence Magazine-July 2006-Article entitled "Do Black Women Have Too Much Attitude?"

"The rolling of the eyes. The verbal whiplash. The creatively choreographed neck twist. Black women indeed have a great deal of attitude- and its a good thing.
The Black females attitude is a vital survival trait. Without a defiant spirit , Black women would have long ago been eaten up by a society that loves and loathes their bodies and brains. Without the spunk and vitality they bring, the race wouldn't have come as far as it has. Sure, sometimes their temperamental dispositions can be overbearing. But if brothers view it from a woman's perspective, we might see just how hard it is to turn that spirit on and off at will. Most brothers don't mind how far Black women go to prove their love for us. There's no greater force on earth than a Black woman who decides to love you. Now that's an attitude we brothers need to learn to adjust to."

Isn't that a wonderful quote? Doesn't it just sum it all up? There is no greater force than a black woman who decides to love a man. I know that. I wish someone else knew that too.
