It could as easily have been about “being a woman, my daughter” in a broader minded age. If one looks for boogiepersons, one finds them all over.
This action by the Cultural Marxists illustrates what they are about. There is no end to it. They will tear down Western Culture, brick by brick, until humanity is but a survivor in the rubble.
They would have done better to replace it with ‘The Gods Of the Copybook Headings’, than any Angelou crapfest.

I agree with everything you say except for the chasing tigers in Nigeria bit :)
Maya Angelou poems sound like they were written by a low IQ 9 year old.
THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON
by Rudyard Kipling
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
‘ Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And - which is more - you’ll be a Man, my son!
Literature of high philosophical value and wisdom that applies to everyone due to its universal truth about human nature, the human condition, and the human struggle, is being eradicated in favor of literature that is valued ONLY for political correctness, which could be the nature of its subject is PC or because it is authored by a minority or woman.
American civilization in rapid decay. The collapse is coming fast, folks. I kiss the ground and thank the Lord my God daily that I am old and won’t be around to see the actual collapse. I grieve for young people and apologize to then that we could not stave off the collapse longer. I am very fortunate to have been born in the 1950s and not later. Very fortunate. Thank you, Lord.
Her real name was Marguerite Johnson, but that wasn’t PC enough.
Somebody remind me how long Marguerite Johnson was a stripper and prostitute. I can’t remember.
Remarkably stupid person. “White Mans Burden “ was written when the USA took over the Phillipenes. It is an anti colonial warning. “And when your goal is nearest, your hope for others sought,
Watch sloth and heathen folly bring all your works to nought.”
This is what ignorance gets you.
I would hazard a guess that 99.9% of humans alive in history were sexist, “homophobic”, and racist.
To judge anyone in the past by today’s standards only means we will be judged harshly by our future descendants.

*If* you believe the UK conforms to how you thought of it
That perception is no more
England is turning into a Muslim outpost
Unlike the one 13 colonies in North America fought for freedom
At risk of “Godwin”
But for snappy uniforms
They are Hitler Youth
James Baldwin wrote some nasty racist passages which should be banned according to the lefts standards.
The only difference between these destroyers and their predecessors who destroyed the Buddha statues in Afghanistan is paint versus high explosives. Same mentality and largely the same results.
