Sister PurpleMoons, for me a STRONG WOMAN has power, authority, she has creativity and beauty! In Pre-colonial Africa helpless women never existed! Women always had power and determination. To say that we are "inferior" is absurd. What trouble me a great deal is our 'Afrocentric' men having the nerve to repress the independence, freedom and authority of Black women. I find this worrying and I will do anything to oppose these men! Ralfa’il is oblivious that our depravity is due our A.D patriarchal cultures (and not our B.C.E matrifocal civilizations) learning or borrowing from foreign cultures! The problem is we are becoming more and more Islamized or westernized to the extent that we have become very pathetic!
Not too long ago my forefathers and the Luba people used sacred partnership or union in their myths, rituals and symbols until the 'white' man came and told them it was INFERIOR and PRIMITIVE. I have all these lessons to draw from.
I had a glimmer of ADMIRATION in Ralfa’il, hoping that he was WISE but I was wrong. I have patience for people in general. However, it gets to a point when I have to say enough is enough! Men like Ralfa’il like to control WOMEN telling us what to do. I suppose the best thing would be for us to be silent, offer ourselves to be sacrificial victims that way Ralfa’il can have his "power" back! Nobody can tell me and other women to stop being proud, smart and seeking power and justice! I will oppose any man who does so. Why are we supposed to accept such nonsense in a forum runs by a WOMAN?
