Great post. Well said, and honest. Basically, its saying its time for black women to realize that the ability to overcome their Willie Lynch Syndrome is within them. But to do it, they must first muster up the courage to be honest with themselves. It must be true because assuming the author is a black woman, she successfully summoned up the courage to write this honest critique of black women, and included instructions for other black women on how to do the same. I think some black women are learning to work on themselves, so their is light at the end of this nightmare.

I beg to differ. I am black and proud. I do understand that we come in different shades and colors. One of the reason for this is because of race mixing over the years. But the original color is black.
If we are ashamed of who we are and our history, how can we know were we are going? Adam and Eve the first people created by God were dark skinned. God created man in His own image according to the bible.

I agree that black women need to unite, I also think it is time to stop referring to black women as bitches and whores. The bible say that your body is the temple of God to keep it holy. We must teach our daughters that real beauty comes from within. Enough of women abusing their body with alcohol, drugs and cigarette.
As for black men, do not use sisters for sex and leave her when the baby comes Be a man and marry her raise a strong family. Come back to God and the church. God said be fruitful and multiply. Be a father and be a husband, That is the greatest calling from God.

I appreciate your perspective. Hopefully more BLACK women will read, understand and internalize some of your views. Well said. Thank you.

To Marque, I realize you have a point that cars are Black, not people, but I am Black, born and will die Black, not because of what white people labeled me, but because my black people (mother, father and wonderful community) taught me to value my blackness that goes much deeper than a color. I’d spend more time discussing this with you, but I think you missed the point of the above article. Have a blessed day

I hear your points but I really wish we would stop saying we are “black”. We are not. Black is the color of your car tires and that is a fact. Calling ourselves what we are not is proof that we have internalized, adopted and assimilated what white people decided to call us during the North Atlantic Slave Trade. And even if others called us that before then, they were in error as well. Look at the color of your skin. Read my article on this site entitled I DON’T KNOW ANY BLACK PEOPLE and you will see why the racists began calling us black. Wake up.
