What's wrong with Black America

Why do African-American Women hate and envy each other? Do we as African-American women breed envy? And how can we stop it?

All my life I have seen women hate and envy one another to the point of self-destruction. We are so bad that we breed envy within our own families. I remember being taught that we as women are born manipulators. Well, I say I'd have to say that is a very good observation and real explanation. But mix it with poverty and ignorance and we can destroy a nation of people. The woman is man's first teacher. She is the nurturer and the teacher of our seeds. But we must be careful of who we let educate our women.

It has been said that the black man is very visual. This means that what we see is what we have the tendency to believe. So is our sisters are watching potential self-destructive materials that are dissolving our souls and killing our seeds. The education that has been taught to our people are brainwashing and influencing the minds of our people that admire the wrong stars. The American government has allowed the media, the school system, the prison systems, the political hypocritical democracy, the medical system slowly poison us to the point of destroying our people. Our women are believing that the lighter then skin the prettier they are, the more skin you show the sexier you look, the less amount you read the smarter you are, if you imitate the lives of the celebrities that is the "life", that all brothers are sorry and lying cheating man whore's, that we must use our bodies and not our minds to get what we want, and to get your paper by any means necessary. Black people have allowed American to "pimp" us turning us out to all of us being no more than "$5 dollar crack whores". Chasing the American dream is our crack. We are hopeless addicted to trying to live the "dream", that black people continue to sell each other out to get a hit. We have completely sold ours souls.
But look at what it is doing and has done to the women. Hello! She, (The Black Woman) is the teacher of our babies, she is the creator of many nations, she is the epitome of love, she is your mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, and wife. At least some of us know the truth and magnitude of this at least. However, until we re-educate, the miss-educated about societies' dehumanization of African Americans of this country.
America has taught us to be cynical and selfish toward one another that we are destroying ourselves but the only way to correct it is to protect
