Safety in this world for Black Women?

Ohhh my GOD!!!!
Please tell me where a safety net is for black women in the world. Cause I need to have a place where I don't have to worry about the status quo of the white is right bull shit. The manipulation of the black man and his pity party, then I need to run to the fun in the sun to escape the black girl magic shade of fellow"sistas" of the African American community. I don't know why the hell it feels like the freedom of the United States of America is offered to everybody in this country except for the black woman. They say the Black (African American) woman is the most educated group of educated people in this country today, but did you know we are in more debt because of the pursuit of education so that at some point we can break the poverty line... Did you know that most of these women couldn't get help going to college unless they were single parents??? Placing that young black woman, and sole provider to a young black child in a greater debt... who is already going to be getting paid less than any other man or woman in the work place. This place called United States of America wouldn't be the place it is without the black woman. Slaves were produced by black women, slavery produced American income... black women birthed the black men and women that invented things that made it possible for America to be considered "humane" and not "savage". Black women are responsible for the making and the downfall of our community, yet, I am concerned about the lack of concern on each of our parts to rebuild and regroup our people.
Have we lost hope?
I was taught the negro spirituals, I actually know all the verses to the Negro National Anthem, and I know that we as a people don't even live nowhere near where the hope of our ancestors is. It's so fucked up the white man has fucked up our perceptions, even on life and death, to where the strength, hope, will-power, and honor of our forefathers that flows to us through the afterlife seems to be nonexistent because we feel like life ends after death. We are not taught to be together. It is obvious we do not understand what unity is and where it will get us. Not just women, not just men, but both men and women, standing together and loving one another without the need for sexual exchange. We put all our hope in a false and dying religion, and now we feel like there is no hope because there is no savior. We doubt the power of our own minds, we doubt the power of our own will, we fail to understand the true meaning of wealth. If I went around the world with a wealth meter to all the black rich folk, I bet only 40 percent of the rich African Americans are actually wealthy. They are not in control of where they focus their attention and are not at liberty to spend their time where they choose... They are prisoners to the commitment to continue to make money. Then, they turn around and give the descendants of our oppressors even more control over them and the rest of the "black nation" by saying being able to buy this and have that is what success and comfort is. Getting pissy drunk and introducing toxins into your body is going to help you enjoy your life, bring on more problems, and trigger disease-causing cellular activity in your body. Every fucking reality television show aired is centered around too much alcohol and insecurity. In our freedom, we are throwing away the hope that our ancestors held on to during hopeless situations. We have not taken freedom by the wings and soared to the heights beyond our ancestors' dreams. Build a systematic prison in the mind we have- by the judging of each and acceptance of the oppressor, we have enslaved ourselves.
