BEAUTIFUL, ALSO, ARE THE SOULS OF MY BLACK SISTERS · A BLOGSITE FOR THE PRAISING OF ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL AND SUBLIME IN HONOR OF ALL BLACK WOMEN. "ONLY THE BLACK WOMAN CAN SAY WHEN AND WHERE I ENTER, IN THE QUIET, UNDISPUTED DIGNITY OF MY WOMANHOOD, WITHOUT VIOLENCE AND WITHOUT SUING OR SPECIAL PATRONAGE, THEN AND THERE THE WHOLE. . .RACE ENTERS WITH ME." ANNA JULIA COOPER, 1892
why is this page empty?
Fixed it.
ok, see,
now first let me say that i really do not like beyonce–but i love the music and words to this song. It is very thought provoking–which is deeper than her shallowness.
AND I KNOW she did not drip one drop from her little ounce of creativity into it–it’s too far above her abilities!
thanks, i probably would not have watched it otherwise.
Yes, I know how you feel. I am not a Beyonce fan either, but, the soulful pouring out of the heart that the “woman” in the song is singing (since she knows what it is like to be a woman, and if tomorrow she were to become a man, she would have more understanding and empathy, with women), resounds with me so much.
i understand what you mean ann.
very thought provoking as i said i wonder who wrote this for her?
or wrote it and she bought it. it sounds very folksy–not her style at all.
i wonder how it would sound coming from a different singer?
Yes, Wisdom, I agree. I wish someone else had sung it.
I’m kinda leaning towards Mary J. Blige (because she has had a very rough life,and I am so happy to see her excel and soar). But, Mary would probably have to tone it down just a little. (Not the song, just her approach to it.)
Or my best suggestion—–Joan Armatrading.
Yep. She would be the best one to sing this lovely song.
