@Cagedbirdfree so MJ doesn’t make a big show about what he does and doesn’t cowtow the narrative and now he doesnt “do enough?” Wtf is wrong with you people
Unbelievable!! What a great line: "I've only got about 3 minutes to say this poem and I've got about 10 minutes worth of angry''... could become iconic!
@Mag Wumps English measures your intelligence? Wow. Its not school so Noone is obligated to spell correctly, as long as you got the message. It's really not necessary saying these things that you're saying honestly
Showed this to my father because I really love it and he completely disregarded everything she said. When the video ended he asked "okay, so where is the poem?" and I gave him a look like What. The. Fuck. and he said "this is just ANOTHER angry black woman screaming 'bout how she aint even angry." My goddamn father is why I need poetry.
If nothing has changed for you, that is primarily YOUR fault, no one else's. The world is what it is and you better learn how to deal with it, because human nature is not changing any time soon.
u shouldnt express ur opinion in anger because u are a victim. that how victim mentality work just express urself in good mood that how strong people express themselves, anger dosent add any strength to ur argument hope that help u
Zabka Wow the ignorance is strong over here! Well let me enlighten you about something. The way a person turns out isn't based solely on their parents and it sure as hell isn't based solely on their mothers.
@@atableinthewilderness680 no. That's not why. Stop. Edit: some things men find that come with masculinity is so weird..the things men want from women. Me having 4c hair, caramel skin, and getting in my feelings when im attacked has nothing to do with a mans masculinity. Im just a 19 year old shy introverted young woman. Once this boy punch me because i didnt respond to him calling my name. I got angry. He called me an angry black woman and talked about black girl attitudes...why? Am i supposed to let you punch me ? Run over me....treat me like some doormat? Black women cant feel what people cant help but feel. They want me to sit there and take everything. Black men don't want to keep they masculinity....its nothing to do with being manly. A woman can't take away a mans masculinity because a woman doesn't have that power. Only a man can choose his strengths. Black men[not all] just want hand outs. Man in general want easy. Want a girl to stfu and obey. Im just as much as a girl as anyone else and just as much as a human being. So excuse me for defending myself...im the only protection i have.
Listen, I first watched this poem some 9 years ago when I was still doing my first year in undergrad and I understood her anger!! I'm a black man from South Africa and this hits home still. The plight of the black people is felt worldwide.
Wow, another powerful black woman preaching the truth.....I wish these women would tour and come to my home town....this shit need to be heard by the masses.......keep up the good work ladies, someday the world will hear from you!!
This has become my favorite poem! My heart is literally beating so fast because I know and feel EVERY thing that she has said. Watch this and see why I am the way I am!
This poem was the best thing that I’ve ever heard. I was in my bedroom smiling, crying and snapping while I got ready for work and played this. There is nothing more beautiful than taking the oppression thrown at you and turning it into empowerment for yourself and the masses. Black women are and have always been goddesses; it’s sad we live in a society that chooses to be ignorant of that, out of fear of all the magic beauty, power a black woman is made of. Thank you so much for using your voice, standing in your power and speaking your truth. You aren’t here for my appreciation or admiration, but I do appreciate and admire you ❤️
I hate poetry but this in a exception. every thing she said is so true and I'm not saying this just because I am a black woman. people need to listen to this because this is nothing but the truth. And some people may not like what she said but the thing is everyday people have to suffer from things she has mentioned in this poem and honestly it has to stop.
This is genuinely one of the most empowering pieces of writing that I have ever listened to. I watched this for my African American and Diaspora Studies course this semester and I keep coming back to it. Chills every single time.
My mind is BLOWN! As a gay, black woman... This had me in TEARS! I just discovered it and have watched it about 9 times already, sent it to all the folks I know in my phone and most of them are white. Thank you Porsha!
This is so powerful!! And i feel this everytime everyone tries to mention angry black women!! These strong powerful women do not need me to stick up for them. However this is so true and i will be damed if everyone i know doesn’t hear this!!!!
love this. saw it for the first time when i was 14 and now, at 22, it is even more powerful - i still remember most of it by heart. thank u so much for this Porsha :)
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ that poem came from the heart and touched my heart and it had me in tears 😭😭this was so moving and beautiful this is what truth looks, feels and sounds like 💕

Same. I still come back to this video
the first time i watched this was 4 years ago and i keep coming back to it
This is THE BEST poem ever written for sure
This poem could not be more relevant at this point in time in America
Still relevant now, it's like the times haven't changed.
Mrs.Nickadeemus Can assure you they have not, this poem is very much still relevant in 2019, 5 years later
Akiera Gilbert damn what you thinking about America now it’s like a thousand times worse
Still relevant 4 years later

didn't she, though? I had to hug her through my laptop.

Because she is a dark-skinned, heavy-set lesbian woman and those kinds of black women don't exist in the American imagination.
Because it's an "angry black woman" with a point. People just want to see angry black women, full stop.
