Is she the one who wrote...”Kill my landlord....Kill my landlord....C-I-L-L my landlord”?

[Lawgvr1955]

That was poet Tyrone Green who wrote that masterpiece.

[BigSkyFreeper]

That was Norman Mailer.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Is she the one who wrote...”Kill my landlord....Kill my landlord....C-I-L-L my landlord”?

No, but she wrote words to the effect that oppressed people do not simply yearn for their freedom, they yearn to feel their boot heel against the throat of the oppressor.

Perhaps the best summation of RacePolitik in this country I've ever heard.

“Angelou’s musical style was clear in a passage about boxing great Joe Louis’s defeat in 1936 against German fighter Max Schmeling:

“My race groaned,” she wrote. “It was our people falling. It was another lynching, yet another Black man hanging on a tree. One more woman ambushed and raped. A Black boy whipped and maimed. It was hounds on the trail of a man running through slimy swamps. ... If Joe lost we were back in slavery and beyond help.”

thats POETRY??? her Musical..Style?
