Sisters!! Can we just stop the black on black violence

I know it sounds like such a cliché, but the longer I’m around, the more I believe that we black women are our own worst enemies, particularly in the workplace. I just don’t understand it though? Why do we go out of our way to sabotage our sisters?? I’m talking about just plain old bitchery here. I don’t know if when we attain a position of seniority, we suddenly assume that good old “baaskap” is the only way to go. Are we so determined to be seen as “special” in our achievement that we spend energy actively preventing other women from moving up that so called ladder? Is it because we are ill equipped to truly lead and manage, that we revert to publicly humiliating others to let everyone know we are in charge?

I don’t know what the root cause/s are but hell it breaks my heart to see it in action. And to any sister who I may have disrespected along the way I say a huge “askies neh”…I know better now and promise to do better.
