One Sided Loyalty and the Strong Black Woman Okie Doke

You've got women, black women, who will support the most disrespectful male beasts alive. These dudes refer to you as God and Queen in one breath, only to demote you to bitch and hoe in the next. They publicly disrespect you by talking about your pussy, your choice of hair, your choice in a mate, your refusal to send naked pics, your refusal to play footsies in the chat box and give up your phone number and what does the Black Woman do? They dig deep down in their wallets and send money when they beg for it, they fund and support their failed business efforts and poor work ethic, they bail them out, they give them the first plate, they march, they protest, and when it's all over and done, they drop down to their knees followed by the dropping of their britches. Now you would think that after all of that, the least you could get was some respect, right? WRONG! Many of them don't even remember your name when you need money, when you get shot down, choked out and come up missing. You would think that after all of that, you'd at least be able to get some type of reciprocity, right? Yeah, still nothing.

Black women are going to have to break free from this Smiling Mammy Archetype that has been cast upon us. While many won't be saved, I strongly believe that the few that will stand to shake the very foundation of this black on black enslavement that has so many women spellbound. My daughter is the epitome of everything I wished I was and hope to grow to be because I've protected her from anything that stood to break her spirit or her will. She's quick to let you know that she won't be taking any of your shit, not today, and not tomorrow and she's still beautiful at heart and as sweet as pie. I grow stronger by the day simply by watching her and while she's not without her flaws, it's the very reason that she's perfectly imperfect in that regard. She's the breaking of my cycle and I'm proud of her.

But these niggas ain't loyal. These niggas ain't never been loyal. Even black men have been trying to teach this lesson to their daughters and do you know why? Because many of them know themselves, changed or not. If you're not someone you'd want your daughter to date, don't bring your ass around us. Since that's too much like right, Black Women are going to have to activate that "Niggadar" so we can see and smell them coming with their pungent and putrid asses. But yeah, their sense of loyalty isn't as strong as 1-ply toilet paper. But some black women sure do love bending over backwards just to show their support. In case no one told you, support is reciprocal, meaning something has to already be in existence for you to uphold. Now, you're talking about dudes in their 40's and 50's and my question is if they have potential, when the fuck are they gonna start using it?

But you keep standing in solidarity, only to be left standing alone when shit hits the fan and that nigga goes to his grave with the $20 he still owed you. I'll just stand back and wait for the usual "she's bitter, she's scorned, she's angry" deflections. One thing you had better know is that I'm not lying.
