Why Are Black Women Strong?

Who has birthed the number one degraded figure in society and was forced to raise them with all precautionary measures to a cruel world awaiting them? The black woman in fact mothers the black man, so massive in mental and physical strength that centuries and centuries ago another race had to break them mentally. Kindling their hope, the black man, down to almost nothing but a brainwashed state of mindset of thinking that they have never and will  amount to anything. But yet we were left standing to bear the weight of it all, begging, pleading, whipping, and cursing our sons while still loving them all to more. Trying to beat out of them what society has beaten into them, sometimes succeeding and sometimes not. We are still yet reaching deep down on the inside to our survivor inhibitions when disappointment kissed our husbands heads, causing them to abandon their very duties as men of their own households. When mercy was depleted and the electricity was turned off it was the black woman’s quick inhibition to preserve the only meat her children had to eat in ice. It was her basic instinct not to let her babies see her cry and moan to God for a breakthrough of change. This powerful creation, the black woman, has been so humbled to scrub floors of the ungrateful and provide meals to the unkind in order to bring back a few underpaid but well appreciated dollars home to her awaiting family. This same woman in later decades would work her way with patience and integrity  up the corporate chain, pocketing hateful stares and backstabbing ways from judgmental counterparts while keeping her head up and eyes towards the hills from where her help cometh from. From the inside out, she is strong, overcoming mental barriers of a world that tells her she is only a second class beauty compared to her lighter skinned counterparts with silkier hair than she. The black woman, armed with strength further than many eyes can see.
