Black Women-Where We Stand
This MSNBC clip examines black women and where we stand in the African American community. It is a well known and documented yet rarely spoken about fact that a disproportionate number of African American women tend to have higher education, income, and job status than African American men. This is not ok. Why is this so? There are many theories and rationales for why this paradigm exists in the black community….but our question is: How do we change this in our community?
I know that for this we have to encourage our black males to go back to school and to go for their personal dreams. Support who and what their dreams are. Not forgetting that they are also in control of their own destiny. For that I have to say that women who are working are to show the need for positive men figures, by asking the male what do you think… and listen intently!
