I go out with white women. This makes a lot of people unhappy mostly black women.

Black women don't have the same body image problems as white women. They are proud of their bodies.

In my work and in myself I reflect black people women and men as I reflect others. One day even the most self-protective ones will look into the mirror I provide and not be afraid.

I just like to have words that describe things correctly. Now to me 'black feminist' does not do that. I need a word that is organic that really comes out of the culture that really expresses the spirit that we see in black women. And it's just... womanish.

It's so clear that you have to cherish everyone. I think that's what I get from these older black women that every soul is to be cherished that every flower Is to bloom.

Black women have always been these vixens these animalistic erotic women. Why can't we just be the sexy American girl next door?

We have to consciously study how to be tender with each other until it becomes a habit because what was native has been stolen from us the love of Black women for each other.

Black women are programmed to define ourselves within this male attention and to compete with each other for it rather than to recognize and move upon our common interests.

But what of black women?... I most sincerely doubt if any other race of women could have brought its fineness up through so devilish a fire.

The day of the wedding went like these things generally do full of anxious moments interspersed with black comedy.
