Not like the other black girls

(Springer) The presumed sisterhood between young black women in the United States doesn't exist between the different classes. Young middle-class black women feel 'different' or even isolated. This also applies to women who grow up in biracial families or are adopted by a white family. Their connection to the white community alienates them even further from other black women, reports Colleen Butler-Sweet of the Sacred Heart University, in a study published in Springer's journal Gender Issues.
