Looks like those colon cleansers don't really work after all.
Angelou-Laura Bush-Imus ping to Today show list.
Oh, what a ditz.
Is Angelou saying it's okay to call black women ho's, but not Laura Bush?
They’d suffer a worse fate if they slurred Hillary.
They would probably be given the seat of honor next to Jimmy Carter at the next DNC convention.
Does she not remember the rappers lyrics about raping or killing Gore’s daughters or wife?
What if you said bad things about Clarence Thomas, including wishing an early death on him like Julianne Malveaux did? What if you called him an Uncle Tom and made jokes about him being HNIC?
Too bad. She was an above average poet. Now she is just a bitter old woman. That’s a Kwame West style slander of the Bush administration.
Of course, we all recognize this as a call to slur the First Lady. I’ll bet money on it...
Maya Angelou is a coddled, self-indulgent, pretentious, untalented pseudo “writer”, hack and phony.
If she were white, nobody would give her the time of day.
And now, Maya Angelou for Butterfingers:
“The wind. The rain. The fire.
The Butterfinger.
Did the Caveman know your delicious goodness?
Did the Mayan Priest exhalt in your buttery crunchiness?
Did the slothful Mastodon, upon his extinction, declare,
“Don’t lay a finger on my Butterfinger?”
Oh, you finger of butter!
You proud confection!
Sugar brown roasted peanuts,
fructose, glucose, sucrose, lactose,
partially hydrogenated palm kernel oil.
Crispity, crunchity, peanut buttery—
I... give... myself... to... you.
Butterfinger.
Glad mantle of golden chocolaty hope upon my breast.”
If any Rapper said bad things about Hillary, they would find themselves Arkancided.
Has been, overrated, PC, “I wrote one good poem and I’m living off of it,” alert!
Addendum: Try slurring Saint Maya on any college campus or on Oprah. I’m sure there’d be no blowback! (/sarcasm)
They just can’t leave it alone. When it all leads to race riots and killings, the finger will be pointed at Don Imus as the cause, rather than at themselves for stirring the pot.
Welcome to BIZARRO WORLD
“A planet where alarm clocks dictate when to go to sleep, ugliness is beautiful and the world’s greatest hero is a chalk- faced duplicate of Superman.”
If Don Imus called Condi Rice a “nappy-headed ho” all the liberals would be praising him.
I can’t stand this woman. After reading some story she wrote where she called the white kids “po’ white trash” I have no stomach for her. I don’t care if the kids were mean to her. Another lefty dihmocrat hypocrit.
Please tell me she’s kidding. Media would be standing in line handing out microphones to anyone who had that type of “courage.”
LIAR!
Calling Angelou a “poet” is like calling Algore an “Environmental Scientist”...
From Wikipedia:
in her later career, received several honorary doctorates, she never received a college education
Ya know, the silly thing about Snoop Dogg’s reaction (and a lot of others’) is the notion that the Rutgers team somehow is exceptionally virtuous. I mean, they excel at what they do, which is play basketball, and they deserve some kudos for all the effort that entails. But let’s not kid ourselves, here: state-university television-sport athletes are not scholars. If these women happen to be, that’s a case that’s yet to be made.
I think everyone agrees that Imus’ description of the women was uncalled for, but trash-talk, as foul as it is, is hardly unprecedented. So tune Imus out. I always have. I find nothing of merit in his show. But if you say he has to be taken off the airwaves in spite of his ratings, then shouldn’t we also take off the airwaves nearly every hip-hop song ever written?
Malkin’s rap list wasn’t comprised of cherry-picked songs; she just went through the top 5 at the moment. Heck, a lot of kids these days go through every waking moment bombarding themselves with lyrics brutalizing women. Does Snoop Dogg really think a single one says, “well, yes, but Rutgers women are different, because they are scholars, not merely ghetto-dwellers.” In fact, I dare say, that if anyone did say that, Snoop Dogg would desire to kill that person for their dis on “black culture.”
She’s the female Chauncey Gardiner.
Point of order: Maya Angelou is not a poet.
She is a poetess.
(A professor I once had told us that “actor/actress” is the only male/female title dichotomy permitted, except it’s okay to call a female poet a poetess if she writes bad poetry and you wish to insult her.)
From one of the most over-rated human beings in the history of man. You would think those nasty teeth could hold back idiotic comments......
I’ve never liked this woman since she done that “poetry” at Clinton’s inauguaration.
Hip-Hoppers Would Lose Microphone If They Slurred Laura Bush
Not hardly. Mrs.Bush is way too classy to give such blather the time of day. This is not to say that there may be no call for an immediate apology,which,after all,is the decent thing to do when one offends someone (although the smear would more than likely be dismissed or swept under the rug,rather than to be addressed at all...considering the source.)
“hip hop” is the chantings for a cargo cult. Sad waste.
I just don't see how the former can result in a person being FIRED [i.e. a loss of making a living] and the latter be called FREE SPEECH with no consequences at all.
Political Correctness trumps all!!
So, there is an equivalence to saying something mean spirited about a team of basketball players, some of which were white, and saying something mean spirited about the First Lady of the United States of America?
If she wants to make a true equivalent observation, ask her to explain the term “snow bunny” as used by the (c)rappers...
Stupid old woman. The left has said terrible things about Republican First Ladies that make “nappy headed ho” look like a compliment.
Maya Ange-who???
She reminds me of that ESPN commercial where the guy’s talking out his rear-end. All these racists sound like that.
I watched this live...she is a total f-cking loon. I am sick of the Oprah and Bill Clinton hand picked celebs. Bush’s name, Cheney’s name, their daughters and their entire family are constantly fair game to rappers and rockers who call it “expression”.
And she ugly too.
Ugly as Helen Thomas.
Yes, Maya, unfortunately I think they would be given a microphone and allowed to use it all they wanted.
These "hip-hoppers" should not be saying "what they say about black women", and their supporters should not tolerate it.
No, I do not think that government agencies should censor them, but I do think that their supporters should refuse to patronize them and that decent people--such as you and I--should voice our disapproval and encourage others not to support them.
The assumption inherent in your question--that "if any of these hip-hippers...said about Mrs. Bush what they say about black women", they would not "be given a microphone"--is ridiculous and absurd--and unworthy of you. You are smart enough to know better, and, if you don't, it's because you simply don't want to.
Rappers can certainly rap about killing cops and get away with it.
She who tried to read a poem. I don’t think it was a poem and I don’t think she was able to accomplish the reading of whatever it was.
Everythings race....Stupid Winch!
She be lyin and she know it.
Didn’t the Clintoons designate her as poet laureate or something to that effect?
Has the person who said awful things about NSAdvisor Rice and now SoS Rice been taken off the air?
I think Ms. Angelou is wrong. Horrible things have been said about various first ladies in the past, and it’s ignored by the money bags who control the airwaves.
Are websites part of the airwaves?
Born Marguerite Johnson in 1928. At one point in her life she worked as a prostitute and madam. Although she has, in her later career, received several honorary doctorates, she never received a college education.
If rappers slurred Laura Bush, they’d get critical acclaim and win Grammy awards for it. Don’t kid yourself, Maya.
“Dr. Angelou”
Exactly which renowned university did said “Dr.” graduate from? What was her Ph.D in? Or was this one of those gratituous things wherein people are given honorary degrees?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Oh, yes...is “Dr.” Angelo still a madam and pimping young black women?
