So.... not a lot of detail here.
Is Angelou saying it's okay to call black women ho's, but not Laura Bush?

I daresay plenty of bad things have been said about the FIrst Lady and no one lost their microphone over it. Heck, they probably got a microphone because of it.

They’d suffer a worse fate if they slurred Hillary.

Do you think, if any of these hip-hoppers, if they said about Mrs. Bush what they say about black women, do you think they would be given a microphone? Do you really think so? They would probably be given the seat of honor next to Jimmy Carter at the next DNC convention.

Terrible poetry and lame thoughts are why I don't understand why Angelou has any credibility.
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?

I know this is slightly off topic, but all this discussion of rap music has me thinking. If bad things were said about Laura Bush in a rap song, would anyone know? I can’t understand a word they’re saying.

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.
