You can't have it both ways. When you're black, either you fight to dismantle the stereotype, or you spend the rest of your life losing battles to it; which, in many cases, leads black women to taking on the roles of mammy... talk about dreams.... Not Unless you're Oprah.

By the way, "MILITANT" was a word and a stereotype used to get even the most non-militant among us to stop fighting... and it worked.
