"The Colored Girl"

The passage that caught my attention is where it talks about the "colored" girl and how she has to deal with more pain and problems than any other woman simply because of her skin color. It wrong that even though she has a right to everything like everybody else a higher authority is always going to find a way to stop her from receiving it. She is always doing what is unexpected of her and she is has courage and demands respect. The black woman works to have a social status for her race and gender and even though the black man is hard working he is only focused on doing things for men, not the whole race or women. No matter what the black man does he wouldn't be here without the balck woman so why work to establish a social status for the women as well? No matter what a man does or what the world says the woman will establish a social staus with or without the help of a man.
