Do African American Women need charm school:
to realize most times men don't fool women-women
fool themselves because they ignored the truth that
was in front of their faces;
to stop needing designer labels and name brands to
validate their self worth;
to learn to raise up en mass to save themselves,
their communities and future generations;
to realize they don't have to wear Korean
manufactured hair in order to be beautiful;
to stop supporting disrespectful Korean, Arab and
other businesses as welcome in our neighborhoods to
take their dollars out of our own community;
to realize we can pay a little more for products
in order to save African American businesses, to
create jobs;
to remember the time when we corrected bad
behaving youth when we saw bad behavior in public
and acted and cared like families in our communities
to correct the problem;
to stop having unprotected sex;
to decide we will no longer be the number one
victim's of HIV and Aids;
to help refine our behavior in public;
to help deal with anger issues;
to stop using sex as a weapon;
to stop measuring the quality of a man by the
possessions he has;
to keep our children out of jail;
when they can't get or keep a man;
to trust other African women;
to share with their men;
to not take female lovers;
to stop having different baby daddies;
to soften up and show their femininity;
to stop back stabbing and crab-in-the barrel
fighting each other;
to stop depending on the government to provide for
them;
to love ourselves and each other;
to be the women the creator, our ancestors and the
Great Mothers want us to be.
