There's so much negative trash being written in this country's media about African American women that it allows many Americans, Black and White, to look down their noses at my sisters of color. You've all heard the hype about the "angry Black woman" who's undesirable to most men. You've been told that Black women are lazy, promiscuous, and failures as parents. All in all, there's some efforts afoot to paint all of society's ills on the backs of African American women. Unfortunately, the propaganda has taken root in the psyche of some Black women, lowered their self esteem and wounded them deep within their souls. In view of all of this, I'm not sure whether to be violently mad or soulfully sad about this month's analysis on African American Women and the Wage Gap from the The National Partnership for Women and Families.
