yeah... i don't see women like corretta as "strong" like some people might..There are written accounts that say she was aware. But maybe she felt it was more important for the advancement of the race to play the good wife role.
Either way... fair enough. As long as you guys are consistent with your rationale I have no problem with it.
i see my MOTHER as a strong woman. she left her relatively wealthy self made first husband (my 2 sisters dad) who was a chronic womaniser. i'm talking brand new immigrant in America .....took her 2 daughters and straight up walked out of huge mansion in Long Island and filed for divorce. i'm talking back in the late 70's when they didn't even want black folks(rich or not) living in their upscale expensive ass Long Island neighborhood...ole boy had a house there and her family was one of the only blacks there. so you know he had bank.
still she took her pride...self respect and struck out in a foreign country on her own with 2 kids (and no child support) because she knew she deserved better. NOW THAT = STRENGTH, my friends.
Shortly after leaving she met my dad who was loyal and just as ambitious\financially promising and she remarried. they've been together for almost 35 years now.
i learned my values from her example so i guess i'm just coming from a different place than most people in here. Forgive me if i'm not one of those chicks that's gonna put up with BS and be scared to leave a bad situation because she thinks she can't ever find another man on "his level" or whatever low self esteem bullshyt plagues these dizzy chicks nowadays. i was taught BY EXAMPLE to know better.
