ALL HAIL THE QUEEN

by Amber Rogers

So, every Black female in the world running rampant and ratchet through these streets is a Queen, right? Well, the only way that I can get with the current influx of all of the "Royal Highnesses" infiltrating and masquerading through our Black community is if your man calls you his Queen- because that's speaking volumes! Because then it is about who you are to him! It's about the position that you take up in his heart. All these self appointed “Queens” running around here with their fake crowns on backwards, halfway falling off..."sit down!" This is one topic that burns my butt: we are not in Africa! listen, this is the United States of freaking America!! You are not recognized! I put you (queens) in the same category as the "boss chicks" and all those other title seeking egocentrics.

Question? "Is the Black female so underappreciated that she has to self aggrandize herself with a title that is absolutely ridiculous? Has her need to be recognized and respected become so great that she has fallen for the "oke-doke?" If so, our men are not doing their jobs and her ignorance is showing.

The notion that all Black females are "Queens" I believe, came from the push by the Pan-African Movement to hype-up the African Americans in this country to believe that they are "royalty" because of the color of their skin, and their possible ancestry. This was intended to lead African Americans back to (the Mother Land) the continent of Africa. This myth was supposed to propel us to a place of higher esteem, supposedly in order to defeat our negative mindset. This "enlightenment" as to who we are was supposed to afford us a better walk through this life and a better outlook. The problem with this position is that it is not true. If most Blacks (queens) we're living in Africa right now, and there had never been a great "slave trade" you probably would not be a King or a Queen. You would be somewhere in the "bush" making your livelihood by the sweat of your brow, or through your acceleration through their educational system. That's the real story right there.. because we are a "disenfranchised people" it's another hope, wish and pipe dream that perpetuates itself onto us and leaves us constantly feeling slighted. If we are not wise we will always be a slave to our feelings of inadequacies as well as a certain amount of "entitlement." This is a catch-22 and a horrible place to put yourself in as an African American. However as "believers", we should know that our only true Birthright is through the promises from God to Abraham and his seed. That is our true "ancestry." This was indeed the time when measurements for our true crowns we're made. when we reign alongside of Him, then and only then will our true Glory be revealed. Then and only then will He set things in order. So ladies until that time, "occupy" until he comes in the royalness and submission to your husbands and servitude of your household.
" For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for man."
