I know it's hard to say on something like that, but I was just curious. Sorry for the mini-hijack, by the way.

For me, I think that it is intertwined. I think it is all 3 "black" "woman" and "black woman". I feel like before anything else I am perceived as being BLACK first and then a woman second. I cannot explain why I feel this way. Sometimes I have to step "outside" of myself and evaluate things from an outside perspective and ask what if questions, because I don't know if my feelings are valid or if I am being paranoid.
i think that this is a good question. I think that you will be amazed at the responses that you will get.
