Bruised but Not Broken

Black women have a great burden to carry when they have to realize they are at the bottom of society. White men use and abuse African American women because they have the power to do so and they (black women) are abused by white women verbally because white women secretly want to be like them. They look at black women as a marvelous wonder, possibly the 9th wonder of the world... Beauty is only skin deep is what people say but when you have a race that can create any color of skin, one must only imagine what else the black woman is capable of. Black men. They find it hard and extremely intimidating when a woman, especially a black woman, can rise above them in anything. As Fannie Lou Hamer explained in so many words we can only be as strong as our weakest link If we are constantly fighting each other there is no way the race can excel to higher levels. Black women as a race & gender are bruised, but not broken.
