    I wonder what Dr. Angelou would say about Trump and Kanye if she were alive today? God, I miss her. I miss her, her wisdom and her intuition. #restinpeacemyqueen

      Drew-Kiercey Whittaker Even here in France we will remind her and her powerful words. She didn't just teached the American people, her voice was heard even across the Atlantic Ocean..when I first heard of her when I was in high school and from this moment I started to watch all of her videos and read all of her poems. The whole world will miss this woman and her wisdom ..! Sorry for my English if i had made mistakes.. haha bonne soirée et toutes mes pensées à Maya Angelou.

    she is so poised, so eloquent and so graceful The intelligence she possesses is fascinating. I am in awe of her and pray to one day be at the level that she is. Her, her life, her voice, her words, inspire me. She is one of the many reasons why I continue to write and work to become an author. God bless her and thank the Lord for creating her.

    It's breaks my heart that one human being can still see himself or herself as superior or inferior to any other human being. Maya Angelou has fought for human dignity for so long and so graciously too. She's someone whom I would really love to sit down with and just listen to.

    I understand exactly what's she's saying. But you or people in general need to first ask why did she/ he have to resort to such a word before passing judgement?. I'm in a very dark place. I have been mistreated and betrayed by people I trusted. I'm homeless and a greiving mother. Those who I depended on the most have let me down. I'm outta in the freezing cold. I've never been homeless until I lost my only child in 2018. I've never been and felt so low in my life. I don't have anyone else. I'm angry and some what bitter. But some people can't even comprehend that pain and feeling abandoned and poor. I'm now alone in this world and that's not a good feeling at all.

    Dr. Angelou is brilliant. She makes me proud to be a Black gentleman, and I aspire to be so filled with wisdom as is she. We need more ladies and gentlemen like her in our community. There are times when I feel that Black sophistication is dying out. I believe it's been slowly dying since the CR Movement, which saddens me. But as a young man, in his early 20s and still in the process of being educated, I'm proud to still see a woman such as this representing for our community. What an honor.

    Even when firm on solid boundary maintenane, or, ''putting-the-foot-down'', she maintains that gentle Grace and Peace which surpasses all understanding.

    I think you have that all correct but I think we need her in all our communities. If more people thought and felt like her, then maybe we could feel as if we were all one community. Not just a bunch of seperate communities. I am odviously all for being proud of one's herritage. But I am as color blind as they come. As we all need to become. But I do see where she is an insperation. She is an insperation to me also.

  • @acasey100
    @acasey100 13 лет назад

    Maya Angelou is a woman who knows all too well about the power of words. She diffuses the meaning of manuscript and creates a mechanism of strenghth through speech. Don Imus' statement may have seemed hilarious to others but those derogatory words sparked a thought of the miseries and pains that Black women had to endure all the way from slavery. I guess Don indirect statement is that if rappers can call them all types of names, "Why can't I?"
