I have read several blogs discussing "sexualizing American girls".
Although I will eventually address this topic, I could not articulate or report the situation any better than these two blogs already have:
and
What About Our Daughters
At a time when the image and identity of black women are being tainted, attacked and misconstrued, I would like to post one of my favorite poems written by Patrick H. Porter Jr. It is entitled "How Do You Love a Black Women". He wrote this poem years ago. It contains a word and a message that I think many males and females will find refreshing. Thank you Patrick for sharing your gift with those on the battlefield.
Enjoy. . .
How do you love a Black Woman
You love her with all you have inside
Never neglecting her emotions
To protect your own foolish pride
You love her with your heart
You love her with your soul
How do you love a Black Woman
You love her till the days old
For she’s like a rose
Blowing softly in the wind
Soft, smooth, and gentle to the touch
And full of mystery within
When you kiss her lips
Kiss deeper to her heart, her soul
And tell her constantly
Your love for her will grow neither tired, nor old
Like a rain drop
No Black Woman is exactly the same
Like the rain that woman
Brings to life many of things
The nectar of the rain
Feeds the young plants that have sprung
As the Breast of a Black Woman
Provides life, and nectar to the kings, and queens to come
For she is a queen
Our queen, to rule by our side
For without our child-bearing queen
Our black kingdom would surely die
As strong as a raging river
As beautiful, and majestic as a waterfall
With feelings as deep, and mysterious as an ocean
Our Black Women remain true to us all
How do you love a Black Woman
You love her body, you love her mind
But most importantly
You love her one piece at a time
