So that we can begin on equal footing, Webster's II New Riverside University Dictionary defines the following;

Revolutionary:

 1. Of, or relating to, or effecting a social or political revolution.

 2. Marked by or resulting in extreme change.

Revolution:

 2a. A sudden or radical change in a situation.
 3a. An abrupt or political overthrow or seizure of power brought about from within a given system.

Editor's Note: We researched Black in the dictionary, and found it to still have negative connotations.  We would like to think those horrible meanings have been eliminated from the English language, but the truth bears witness better than we can.  Please research the word, and understand what is revealed.

Our definition of Black is:
People throughout the world, who's ancestors were the original Afrikans.  Black people are, but not limited to, Afrikans, Afrikan- Americans, Caribbeans, Pacific Islanders, and South Americans.

Yes, I am a revolutionary Black woman.  I believe our situation is critical and it is time for a serious change.  I am the one you see on the subway, or bus with a "Black" book in her hands.  I am the one who calls you Brother or Sister.  I am the one you see giving money to the Homeless.  I am the stranger who talks to you, and tells you to be steadfast and not to let them beat you down!  I am the one you see at Freedom Meetings, attempting to be anonymous.  Where I work, I am supposed to be "a good n***a", but those I work for and with know better.  My style of dress, the way I wear my hair, and my mannerisms betray me.

My nature is true, real, strong, and I have problems keeping it under wraps.  Just when I thought I would be kinder and gentler, I find I am considered more of a threat than ever.  I wondered if I portrayed something negative, when I ran into an old friend.  She said "You look great.  You look happy and peaceful, this is you, the real you!"  I was shocked, for she had not seen me in 1½ years, and my dreads and manner of dress were new to her.  While it is not a big deal, this friend is a white Christian, whom I have known three years.  I was relieved to know I was not the "bad influence", I had been called, to all white people.  I felt better knowing there was a Child of GOD  who understood the changes ALLAH (GOD) makes in a person's life.

As a revolutionary Black woman, I am often asked about love relationships.  Brothers ask my opinion, and some are shocked to hear my response, but I neither hold my tongue nor say what they may want to hear.  I tell them that they are wrong if they are "dogging" a Sister, just as I tell them are right if they are treating their mates correctly.  I see Sisters wasting their lives with men not meant for them, and it hurts me.  I see women involved with married men because they believe that's the only men they can get, or worse.  Some do it because someone took their husbands.  I see men leave their families for other women, and I weep at the pain they cause their families.  I offer this one piece of advice to those in this situation;  please clean up your business before you deal with another person, the pain you can cause is not worth momentary physical pleasure.  If you have found your mate, it's worth it to clean up all old business, prior to undertaking new business.  They will wait, if it's real. If they won't, maybe it's not worth it.

I pains me to see Brothers and Sisters hurting each other.  Some of us are so scared to be alone, we put up with anything.  I'll confess, I once did the same.  It is not a pretty story, but I got over it.  ALLAH (GOD) gave me love and respect for myself, so I no longer have that burden.  I try, with the help of The FATHER, to tell the truth, be it pretty or not!  While many may not agree with me, I feel Black men and women were made for each other.  It is my opinion no one can truly understand a Black Man the way a Black Woman can, and vice versa.  I understand fate bring people into our lives, but who knows us better than us?  No one knows the struggle of a Black Man like a Black Woman, and vice a versa.

There are two books out; How to Sexually Satisfy a Black Man, and How to Sexually Satisfy a Black Woman.  Why are there books out on Black sexuality?  How have we been able to create so many babies, and have such high levels of adulterous affairs, if we are not able to sexually satisfy each other?  Without trying to sound vulgar, Black Men and Women know how to sexually satisfy each other, so who are these books written for?  If we have problems with physical intimacy, it is born from selfishness, not an ignorance of sexual performance.  We have an innate intimate knowledge of ourselves, not taught, nor learned.  The one thing the slave master left us was sexual prowess. 

If our sexual stereotype is true, for whom were the books written?  If the sexual stereotype is a lie, then why does every other race break their necks to be with us?  A Black Woman can't walk down the street without some man trying to get in her clothes!  A Black Man can't go to work without some woman trying to get in his clothes.  I have not seen the books in Black book stores, so I must again ask, who are these books for?  Why are they marketed in white book stores? 

I have problems with so called leaders who use Black people to achieve political or personal power or wealth, and forget why they were elected.  Our people are in a serious condition, and we do not need rag-head, sell outs representing us.  There are many, and I am sure you can name a few, but it is time to dismiss them from the places of power we have sent them.  If our elected officials sell us out, we should get rid of them, I don't care who they are!  Have we gotten so used to being sold out, we let Black leaders get away with stuff others can not?

I cannot abide ministers who use the pulpits for their evil desires.  Those so called ministers who sleep with the women of the church, should be dismissed from the pulpit.  When a minister uses his position to take advantage of a woman, he is not worthy to call himself a "servant of GOD".  I also have problems with ministers who foster religious bigotry.  There are some who have the nerve to call Muslims "devils" from the pulpit.  While it is a human failing to fear what we do not understand, religious bigotry is a disgusting practice and requires elimination.

What do ministers do with Tithes?  Where does the money go?  Does your church feed the homeless, clothe the naked, assist in the recovery of substance abusers?  Does the minister live in a big house, drive a new car, and/or wear the best clothes, on your money?  I understand that to tithe is to give 10% of your salary to support the clergy or church, but what is a church?  Is it a building, or is it the manner in which the congregation presents itself?  Does your tithe support the material needs of the minister, or the way he or she represents the congregation?  If you go to another church for fellowship, are you proud or ashamed of your minister?  Can you hold your head up proudly when your church name is mentioned?
