How long have we been at war family? How many wars are we fighting at once? The wise always remind us to "pick ya battles", so how many of our battles are really necessary? Dont worry, I'm going somewhere with these questions.
    
     How often do we see images of black people, women especially, fighting? The media is overcrowded with black women fighting each other, their men, their children, their parents...just about everyone. We are made to believe that angry, aggressive, and bitter are our natural states.       Most of us know at least one woman who just may be a natural born witch, but most of us are not her. So why do we allow eurocentric media to manipulate our views of ourselves? We must get to a place where no one can tell us who we are, especially when it comes to relating with our men.
   
      The campaign against healthy, black families is alive and real. Some of us are even falling for the media push to 'try something new'. We believe that there aren't enough good, black men to go around. We believe that 'other' men will treat us better and give us the THINGS we think we deserve. Most of us here in western society have no notion of the importance of providing, not only a stable home and family structure, but also a stable, strong GENETIC structure to carry our children's children forward.      There is now, as there has always been, a war against us creating more of us. So if the world is fighting to extinguish us...and we're distracted with fighting each other, we lose before we even realize we're in a fight. This is why bringing the man and woman back to perfect unity is of the utmost importance. And not just in the bedroom ya'll...or even in the home, but in the world at large. We have to see God in our men again! We have to see God in ourselves, our children, our sisters, and even brothers we have no interest in. We have to get to a point where every thought and action is focused on building for our people and our future. Our forefather, Dr. King, feared that he had integrated us into a burning house. Well this house is on its last leg and we didnt move into it on our accord...so at any moment we may move out and build our own. Let's getta building fam!
