Please watch this video first…
First let me begin with this: There is so much about my life that a lot of people don’t know. A lot of my views are from personal experiences and what I’ve gotten from things that have happened in my life over the years.
Though I’m not a Muslim and I don’t practice Islam, there is an abundant amount of information that is useful for both black women and men. It causes you to do your own research and question things that you have been taught about your culture.
As a bi-racial child, white father and black mother, I tell people often that I have the best of both worlds. My father and I have always been super close, my mother on the other hand…
She remarried when I was 11 and her husband practiced Islam. Please notice the choice of wording… For four years I was raised in the Islamic religion.
There are many things I agree with and don’t agree with, but I will say this. If they are “TRUE” Muslims, they respect not only their women but all women, and they provide for them very well. And they will not allow anyone else to disrespect them.
We as women, tend to put ourselves aside for men. We are the teachers, the nurturers, etc. Why shouldn’t man respect and provide for us? Does that mean we have to run around with all our business hanging out? You get what you give is what I’m going to say on that note. You can be sexy and still be classy. Now don’t get me wrong, I like a little cleavage, but booty shorts, half shirts, etc, are unnecessary and attracts the kind of attention that you really don’t want. Besides… what are we teaching our daughters when we dress like that and when we allow them to dress like that? What are we teaching our sons about how they should look at women?
The main point I want to address about what the Minister said in the above video (which I had to get the whole DVD on this topic and I can’t wait to watch it and share some more of it with you all) is the point there is no such thing as a bad woman only a man that makes her bad… I think many people really need to think about this. Women are natural mothers, not only to their kids but to everyone else’s kids. We are natural nurturers, teachers, and capable of making things happen by any means necessary. Most women, have been hurt by a man or several men, and that’s where the bad woman is made by a bad man comes into play.
Usually this behavior is something carried down from generation to generation. See mommy do this and I’ll do it. This can be prevented with the proper training and mentoring.
I just really think it’s time that we all take back our families and situations. If it’s not a good situation get out. Usually once it’s gone it’s gone and there isn’t much you can do to get it back.
Always do your own research and follow your heart ultimately in the end.
Have a divarrific day! Smooches.
