Iyanla: Black Women Are Out-of Order [WATCH]

Finally somebody said it.  I agree.  Out-of-order is the perfect definition for the state of Black women.  As my idol Ms. Vanzant says "we are the feminine representation" of the essence of Earth, and as Black women we have completely lost, allowed to be stolen and stomped on our authority as the mothers of this Earth.

How dare we treat our temples in this way that we maliciously gossip and plot against one another while simultaneously allowing a man to fill our head with illusions of grandeur that never come to fruition.  It's time to rise up sistahs.  I'll say it now (cause I been sayin it all week) heaven for a Black man is still between a Black woman's legs and a man will only do what you allow him to do.  It is your job to protect your feelings.  It is your job to protect your children and it is your job to protect the Black man by making him aware of exactly who he is dealing with.  He is dealing with a Queen and he needs to behave accordingly when walking on sacred land.  We were formed from the earth first.  Common sense tells us that the chicken had to come before the egg.  And, that's why our sons are being taken to prison in droves, our daughters are swinging on the stripper poles and our elders are dying of neglect.  It's because the Queen has gone missing and she refuses to return.

So, get up.  Use your curves, your wit and the grace that God blessed you with the day he made your great, great, great grandmother to call your brothers to the status they deserve as your protector. It is your job, your duty to use your rich character to show him his rightful place on the thrown as the up-lifter of his women and children.  So rise up ladies because until we do this we will be Out-of-Order!  The poor black little girls of the world.
