It seems the average sister of today is more interested in fighting for entrance into white economic institutions than struggling for her people. Not to say that there is anything wrong with an intelligent sister getting paid top dollar for her skills. More power to you. We must remember, however, that the Black woman has always worked. The only difference between past and present is the level of responsibility she felt for the survival of her people.
Sisters use to work jobs with the mindset of working for the race.
Not so today. Another sad development that accompanied our turn away from struggle as a people was the devolving view of Black women in the eyes of Black men. Over the past few years there has been a growing perception in brothers of sisters not as equal human beings but as hoes, bitches, hoochies, tricks, etc. What's even more disturbing than men's devolving views is the rising level of acceptance of this role as property on the part of sisters. Freaknic is really nothing but the celebration of the debasement of the Black woman.
