Every time this phrase has come up in conversation, I've made a point of doing "mini-lectures" about how this "strong Black woman" label is a trickbag in support of exploitation.<BR/><BR/>As I stress (especially to younger BW), I DON'T want to be "strong." A woman having to be "strong" means that something has gone horribly wrong!<BR/><BR/>I want to be protected and provided for <EM>like every other race of women on this planet.</EM> I want to be free to express the full range of femininity <EM>like every other race of women on this planet.</EM><BR/><BR/>I'm so happy you posted this. Thank you.<BR/><BR/>Peace, blessings and solidarity.Khadijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07732325133964607276noreply@blogger.com
