Do Black Girls Really Rock??

   So let's talk about it!!  I have watched Black Girls Rock every year since it begin back in 2010. I must say last night's show was different from any other shows. I don't know if I am the only one who could feel it but, emotions were high, and the messages were so very deep. Even the artist seemed to have put their souls into every word, and brought the atmosphere to a full circle.

    I commend the founder Beverly Bond, for stepping up and shining a light upon women of color. It is so necessary for us to be seen in a positive light. Social media has a field day at the black woman's expense everyday.  We suffer some of the most disgusting prejudice and down right hate from our own black men. Just like any other time, here comes the black woman to make it all better. If we didn't have us, I don't know what we would do.

   I was in the dark about the distaste black men had for black women for a long time . Sure, I knew a few that would date white women, and praise any other color but, black women. They aren't my concern nor a threat to me. The black men who despise black women, but yet bait, date and create with black women, are who I have a major problem with. It's pretty much like a job you hate, but you clock in because it pays the bills. You don't give your one hundred percent, and despise your boss for getting in your ass about it. Well we as black women have got to get tired of giving negros employee appreciation for half ass jobs. Giving half ass love, being half ass father's and half ass men. You do know one person can bring a whole company down. So don't risk the possibility of your life being in shambles. 

   The power that I witnessed in that room last night was amazing. If all black girls would rock together we could be a force that is so unbelievable.  But first we have to recognize what is happening in front of our eyes. We have to admit that the relationship between the black man and black woman is so volatile right now. The only time we get along is when it is sexual communication.  What has happen to us?? There are men that you can name right now, who will only comment on your post if you have turned them on with a sexy picture, or pissed them off with a post.  There is no in between anymore. Either it is communication the leads to the bedroom, or communication that could lead to the courtroom. We have got to address this and get back to love.

   So now that the annual Black Girls Rock show is over, and we have felt empowered and uplifted. We have posted about the outfits we liked, best performances and speeches. Are we gonna keep on rocking?? How do we keep on rocking?? Are we going to stop sharing post degrading and belittling our sisters??  Are you going to stop cosigning the bull shit we see on social media?? I urge all my sisters to take a minute to re-examine yourself and your contribution to the hate and distaste for your black sisters.  We can only rock together if we are all in unison.
