For my beautiful black women

Just as there are good black men, there are plenty of good black women. Fellas, don't take us for granted! This goes out to all of my ladies who are working, going to school, raising families, and doing it all with a smile on your face...

ONLY A BLACK WOMAN
Can work full time while finishing school, raising
respectful and intelligent children, be active in
the PTA, be the pastor's secretary, and the choir
president and make it all seem effortless

ONLY A BLACK WOMAN
Can make a $1.00 out of 15 Cents

ONLY A BLACK WOMAN
Can go from the boardroom to the 'hood and "keep it
real" in both places.

ONLY A BLACK WOMAN
Can live below poverty level and yet set fashion
trends.

ONLY A BLACK WOMAN
Can fight two struggles everyday and make it look
easy.

ONLY A BLACK WOMAN
Can make a child happy on Christmas Day even if he
didn't get a darn thing.

ONLY A BLACK WOMAN
Can be admired and fantasized about by men of other
races and know that when she does cross over it's
done out of sincerity, not a political move.

ONLY A BLACK WOMAN
Can be 75 years old and look 45!

ONLY A BLACK WOMAN
Can make other women want to pay plastic surgeons
top $$$ for physical features she was already born
with.
