Angry Black Woman

Yes, I am an angry Black woman.

However, I am not angry for no reason.

I am angry because I can't frown without someone pointing it out. Take the time to find out why I am frowning.

I am angry for being judged based on the stereotypes that exist or by the actions of less refined women.

I am angry for the assumption that I don't ever have a right to be angry.

I am angry because of the context in which I am viewed is not based on who I am or what I represent.

I am angry becaue I have to work twice as hard with minimal recognition - if I get any at all.

I am angry that I have to put this in words and hope I am seen as more than an angry Black woman.

I am most angry that I have to justify my justified anger.

For once, take the time to ask why. 

You may learn something or even walk away with a different perspective.
