Somebody remind me how long Marguerite Johnson was a stripper and prostitute. I can’t remember.

From This: "Angelou held many jobs, including some in the sex trade, working as a prostitute and madame for lesbians, as she described in her second autobiography, Gather Together in My Name."

Doesn't say how long she was in that business, though.

It is safe to say that she was terribly screwed up for most of her 86-year life.

>>Do you really think they will keep the Holy Bible when all is said and done? Bibles will be among the first books burned when the Firemen come to take people’s books away before sending them to the re-education camps. They fear the Bible more than any other book.

Yet, Bibles always survive even if people have to memorize it. If you get sent to the re-education camp, which chapter can you recite and write down on scraps of paper so you can teach it at night when the guards think you are sleeping? The Bible thrives when the earthly authorities ban it.

To judge anyone in the past by today’s standards...

Today's standards - only to a loud-mouthed minority! I reject those "standards" in toto, and so can you!

Of course we do since we still have the power to think for ourselves, something lost on the mob on the left.

James Baldwin wrote some nasty racist passages which should be banned according to the lefts standards.

I wonder how the snowflakes in the article would receive an unedited version of Mel Brook's Blazing Saddles?

The Bible thrives when the earthly authorities ban it.

And in the first century, Satan thought he could destroy the church of Christ by persecuting and murdering its members. The church flourished. It grew by leaps and bounds.

It was only when Satan realized the best way to destroy Christianity was to present it to everybody, but only in a watered down, unscriptural format, that he dealt a serious blow against Christians. Satan corrupted Christianity from within, presenting counterfeit "christian" churches.

That's why so many "main stream" religions participate in abominations such as celebrating faggots, etc.

Maya is the most over rated poet in history

Mostly, she is a black woman.

I have always loved that poem. It does have truth in it regarding human nature.

I have observed that Leftists HATE human nature, because...it is something they cannot control. Everything they do is predicated on control, and some people simply cannot be controlled.

Of course, we all know what the Leftist solution is for people who cannot be controlled and bent to their will.

Students prove that being challenged to grow up and be responsible is offensive to them.

A haiku:

They only destroy
They’re unable to create
Maya was a whore!

Kipling today, another piece of White history tomorrow until it’s all gone and replaced with third world barbarism.

Never seen that Kipling poem before, but it's powerful and thanks for posting.

Those who say Kipling was racist need to read Without Benefit of Clergy, a very stirring short story and tragedy about a white man marrying an Indian girl.

When you change the factual meaning of the word “racist” it becomes a weapon of lunatics to justify any means to this made-up reality end.
