"I love you my Black American women. We got no daddies with shotguns. We got no big brothers to defend our honour. And sometimes it seems that our men don't appreciate the fact that we lay down on those tables to give them immortality in the form of our beautiful brown babies. There are far too few princes on the white horses coming to save us. We must save ourselves. We can't wait for a falling star for our star to shine. We make our own shine. And that's why, for better or worse, I am with you. I am wedded to our cause and our fight. For all time.
Every culture has beautiful women. But us? What's our brand? We're the newest conglomeration on the planet. Did you ever think of that? Our "mix" is less than two hundred years old. All of the strongest of Africa. The last part of of the Indians before falling into alcholism and extinction. The most brutal of Europe. You couldn't be a no wimp or wuss and come to this land. And we are the culmination of all of that and so much more. We are that NEW exotic Kush and you can't help yourself - gotta taste it or "own" it. If not for the plague which fell hardest on our men? I can't say much more on that. But you see how WE are not beaten into nothingness? We some bad folks Black women. And nothing can ever change that fact."
