Huh? Isn't the strong black woman supposed to have it all? Where is her somewhere over the rainbow? Where is her damn marriage proposal? Where is her knight in shining black armor?

I agree with your comments accept this one. I personal think Vivica's character is the strong black woman in this movie. It 's takes alot to keep a family together. When times got hard, after their mother died, it was Vivica who had faith to know that it would be alright. Let's not forget she did take her sister's mantoo. Actually, I think being a little bit submissive is part of being a strong woman. Another thing just, because one woman is education and the other is not I don' t think that doesn't make the educated woman a stronger woman.
Even in real life women like Oprah and Starr Jones are still single.
Why? I don't know.
According to this month's Ebony, there is hope. there is an article about misconceptions about black relationships. I think it was five things. I too was reading illegally at the store, while in line. I not going to try to list them because i've forgot some of them.
