Black women in America have always faced the problem of being humiliated or made to feel less than themselves. Black women have been parental and provider figures, demonstrating incredible qualities and versatility, unabashed loyalty, vast adoration, and affectionateness. Black women have grown up over hundreds of years of mistreatment today, having long dealt with society's supremacist and sexist confusion, with its merciless dangers. In addition to supporting families, they are promoting partnerships, real media associations, the military and our state and national governments. Infidelity is a very common problem in America and in many cases leads to divorce. Research has demonstrated some of these. We have seen this faith throughout the semester in African American psychology; African Americans, mostly women, pray to God for guidance and healing in difficult situations.
