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 a make it all seem effortless

ONLY A BLACK WOMAN

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

ONLY A BLACK WOMAN
Can slap the taste out of your mouth.

ONLY A BLACK WOMAN
Can put a Black man and his non-Black date on pins
and needles just by walking into the room.

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.

Can be the mother of civilization.

Did Ya Hear me?

If you are BLACK in origin, please do not delete....
If we can forward "Ghetto" degrading e-mail, we can
do the same here...

Pass it on to good friends of yours... Let Black
Women come together... Tell someone they're
beautiful today -
You're Beautiful!
