My Sistas, My Sistas!

I was raised totally different than most females my age.  Thank God my grandparents raised me.  I was instilled with strong morals and values.  I look at my young and old sistas (African American Woman) today and get mad.  Not all but most do not represent their culture the way they should.  They have been manipualted into a warped way of thinking. 

I was recently looking for some pics to post to the site and came across www.hotghettomess.com  OMG!  Almost every picture on there show my sistas in such a dim light.  They do not respect their bodies or recognize that they are more than that.  The pictures on there make me angry.  Angry that they have placed themselves in those positions and it's posted for the world to see.  It makes me angry that this type of African American woman is what the media glorifies.  I am not ghetto, trashy, or just azz and tits.  I am an intelligent and classy woman.  Yet I am looked at by my own sistas as snooty or stuck up.  Stuck up because I will not let white american dictate my self worth.  That I will not go the club with them every night.  That I do not have 5 baby daddy's by 5 different men.   That I do not drink a 40 or smoke blunts.  I am the representation of years of slavery and the illuminated light that came after a dark storm.  

I WILL NOT DISREPECT my ancestors by parading around like that!  My sistas need to get a clue, wake up, and be what you were born to be....QUEENS!  Respect yourselves ladies.  Stop the madness of trying to be a video whore and strive to be President.  My God it's almost around the corner!
