My concern today is that I feel like our mothers didn't have this public pity party for themselves the way our contemporaries do. Yes, they had to work, but they didn't feel bad about it, perhaps because they needed to for money. They went to work, held down the kids and the husband and didn't miss a beat. In retrospect I might not want to do all of that, I might want the man to share with the household duties moreso than our fathers did, but there was a certain sanity to it. I don't know, maybe with the work and the man and the kids we didn't have time for complaining. It just feels like Black women are backsliding in the confidence department. If we sat around wallowing in our circumstances, being reminded of the bad things in our lives, there would have been no Civil Rights movement.

is not with folks who don\'t come out, but with the heterosexism that makes it nearly impossible for the music industry (and narrow-minded fans, especially Black folks) to support an artist that doesn\'t sing boy-girl love songs. Look at an artist like Janelle Monae, who the industry and Black fans don\'t know what to do with because she\'s not shaking her ass and trying to sex up the world in a video. *shrugs*
