Black Women in Business or Just Women

We've all heard it before, women just can't seem to get along. Even within groups and organizations that are geared towards increasing positive relationships among women, i.e. sororities, civic groups, heck, even women's day at church, there appears to always be some sort of obstacle to women being able to work in peace. Now the title of this blog is black women in business or is it just simply women in business, who allow power to go to their head? I recently did not show up to an interview with a black owned company that was ran by black women, because I have either been in scenarios where black women have abused their power and on every account have found a way to solidify that they are the boss and will say and do anything to demean another black woman and I did not want to go there.

Now this is the problem...I'm an African-American woman who works and advocates for equality for women and African-Americans and I don't even choose to work with my own people if I can avoid it, because again, there's always some type of drama. Will we ever be able to get along? If Michele Obama happens to become the 1st lady, will that increase positive interactions with us, or will it remain how it has always been..another jealous filled array of opinions from our "own"...either way, I see the current state of African-American people and especially African-American women in a slow process of complete denigration and simply stating a place of no hope for us to start treating each other better and like the old adage says, how they would like to get done...so I'll end it out with this, at this time, hell no, I don't believe that African-American women business owners have ever been fair or just. And I wait for the day that justice is finally distributed to ALL those who have done anyone wrong, business or otherwise.
