Sadly,I think we cut each other down more than we try to build each other up. This extends across race, socioeconomic status, and so on. Black women can be especially bad, simply because we have it in our heads that we are competitors(a possible throwback to slavery, when a lot of the familial traditions from Africa were effectively destroyed). Most black women I meet are nice, (whether it be real or genuine) but because of past experience, I do not bond with women quickly or easily. Joining a sorority was helpful in meeting different types of women, and my closest friend is a soror. Hopefully, one day all Black women will realize that we are our sister's keeper, and act accordingly.
