Hey, Trish,

Trish girl, why did I go to a gathering this weekend with friends and we got to
debating black men always going after another race. I mean really, sistas is out
numbering these men and these men were saying it’s because there are no good
black women out there. They keep saying we are always back talking, rude and loud.
But I have seen these women who want to be black and imitate every stereo type
portrayed about us and black men feel that those women are somehow still better.
I went off, along with about 5 other women there. I am looking for a good brother and
here they go running off to be with a woman who can’t begin to understand our men.  
I had a date and I couldn’t wait to get him to the car so I could discuss his answers
on the whole subject.

Girl, people got it wrong about who is treated badly in America. We as black sistas
are the ones who get the raw deal in life from every other person. Look how they
treating poor Michele Obama, she can’t even put on a pair of shorts without the
nation going into def-con 2 alert. I am sick of it!

(Signed)
Unappreciated black woman

Dear Unappreciated,
It’s time Trish put the real deal out on the table. First off every single woman, black,
white, brown, whatever is having the same issue of not finding a good man. Please
stop singling us out as this sad, oppressed group of women who can’t get a man.
These negative stereotypes have gone on for too long and is some of the reason
why Michele having problems now. FYI she is handling it with class and grace and
setting good examples for out little black girls. You and ya girls should have handled
that discussion like Trish would have. Sistas need to take a new approach to
expressing who we are as black women. What Trish advises is to do like me….Neva
let em see ya sweat! Don’t go around being mad about this issue. Definitely don’t
trip on ya date (trippin on a dude will not get him to call you back). Most importantly
stop asking these simple minded fools their opinion on this subject. Let’s be
real…They don’t know the answer themselves. That small minded man just used
that opportunity to piss you off and justify his own issues with dating outside his race
by putting black women down. Real black men do not put down sistas. He
understands to put you down is to put down the women in his own family. If he is a
real man, he will never feel the need to attack or belittle a sista to explain why he is
dating a woman of another race … it just is what it is.

So I know I am about to make some black woman mad with my next statement but
HEY! TRISH HEART DON’T PUMP NO KOOLAIDE.  

Black woman need to stop perpetuating the stereo type (yeah I said it). Get away
from feeling the need to express those negative characteristics, get some
confidence and just be you. I am who I am and I don’t apologize for anything about
Trish, but I do try to keep the spotlight on the positive. Stop hating on other black
woman like many of us do, smile more and give that sista with the brand new truck
and diamond ring a big ups instead of mean muggin her cause you ain’t her. If you
are up don’t just look down at ya fellow sista, encourage her to get up like you….or
like Trish (HEY!)  

Black woman used to be looked at like confident, strong women, someone to be
envied and the reason why some woman try to imitate us even now. But more often
than not we are now considered desperate, attitudinal and pitied. So it is time we
took back the pride that was always rightfully ours. Let’s reclaim our unity, our classy,
our sexy…..our inner Cleopatra Jones in this piece!

TRISH IS ASKING ALL HER BEAUTIFUL QUEENS TO STAND UP (FIST IN THE AIR)
AND RECLAIM OUR SWAGGA. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL PROUD WOMAN … LETS
START ACTING LIKE IT!!!
