You said: “ Black women relinquished the reins of responsibility for the preservation of our common African legacy when we accepted someone else's religion and ways. We can get it back but it is up to us not our men it was never up to them. Leave nothing to providence.”

You say what you say as though we ceased to take the reigns of dynamic responsibility in communities. But consider for a moment where we'd be if the black woman did not step up to the plate, in the most trying of times, and lead our families. If it were not for the black woman, there would be no BLACK FAMILY. Historically, black men have quite easily started hating themselves only to start having interracial relationships, being locked up, unemployed, on the edge, etc. It is the black women who have had the weight of the world on her shoulders. Now, like you, I’m not suggesting black woman have no responsibility of the problems in our race, but certainly enough our Family's History has been protected by black women.
