Exactly when did that end? What happened and how do we get it back?
I watch women all the time criticize the next woman simply becasue she doesn't like her. I see women all the time calling each other every name but the one given to them by their parents. Why? Out of jealousy that they would never admit to. Is it really that serious? We sleep with each other's men but we are ready to fight when someone does it to us. And to make ourselves feel better we somehow blame that woman at home for not knowing how to keep her man. Don't get me wrong, you can't help who you love but don't make disrespect that woman to help yourself sleep at night (or sleep with her man), just be real with why you are doing it and have some class to your ass.
Instead of being there for one another we judge each other's situations as if we have never been in them situations ourselves. Or like we are to good, too pretty or too smart to be in those situations. (I actually heard someone say that and that annoyed the hell out of me) We talk behind each other's backs like cowards. We got the opposite sex making us "respect the game". Exactly what game are we supposed to be playing again? Someone please remind me. Ladies you sound stupid playing a man's game. You sound ridiculous with your "my nigga this" and with your foul mouths calling your female friends "your Bitch". When did being a lady mean that you dress like a man, talk like a man and then demand to be treated like a lady? When did being someone's friend mean you smile in their face and talk shit about them when they are not around? When did being a women mean you going toe to toe with a man over some BS other than fighting for your life? When did being a lady mean you going to going to the club every weekend just to meet another Fuck? Since you rely on the playing by the man's rules and what he thinks of you, ask a man what his idea of a "lady" and a "bitch" is and see what he says. Now you don't have to agree with this but you answer that same question and then look in the mirror and tell me what you represent.
I want nothing more than to see my Sisters rise about the BS of knocking each other down. In REAL Sisterhood, when you are down your Sisters are there to help you up. I can't wait to see the day when women rule the world. Be a believer and be your Sister's Keeper. Believe it or not, it all has to do with your love for yourself. When you have that LOVE for you then you won't have it in you to hate another.
My idea of Sisterhood is this: I got your back always, whether you need it or not. A true Sister doesn't just check on you when something happens. A real Sister doesn't say call if you need anything and then sit back and wait for the call, she will call you and check on you if she hasn't heard from you. Sisterhood is a bond and it is knowing that no matter what, you have a support group full of women that knows your struggles first hand. Why can we turn to a man before we can turn to each other?
How do we become Sisters once again. Can we or am I just living a pipe dream? United we will stand Strong and Divided we will fall short Always of True Sisterhood.
I no longer question the why nots of anything that is truly of importance to me. I simply work at doing or being the change I want to see. No it's not just some cute mantra having no basis in fact it is in essence how I live every blessed day of my life. It is how I give back for all I have been given. Living my life in love..it is surely a most..hell..the most powerfl force. I do not give as fully as readily as I once did though. I am particular about those who I allw into my cypher..everyone can psiibly come to my doorstep, yet not all are allowed into my home. It's safer, wiser and less stress-filled that way. But, to those wommen with whom I truyl bond..nothing..not time, space, nothing breaks our bond. To the rest I can give my support, send up energies of light n love and let em live. No negatives can clg my mind and spirit unless I allow..n I DO NOT. If what you speak of is indeed a pipe dream let us both inhale deeply of it's intoxicants and slumber peacefully in the thought...then once awake again..make it our own business to be the best sister-friend to all, in the doseages we are able ..depending upon who the person is..and the circumstance.
