i dont think many people realize that they themselves are the ones who choose what kind of value is applied to language, or words. instead of adopting the values of somebody else, create your own...
Accountability wow I thought it was a lost virtue ! I am comforted to hear anything that even comes close to be accountable right or wrong , all I have heard for a very long time that nothing is either right or wrong and yes ! Finally ,,,,it may be coming back because without right and wrong in this crazy world in which we live there is absolutely nothing !
@bermudaguy1 lol thankyou so much for humbling yourself so much as to apologize. But you really think it that easy to move on?? lol funny comment though
@Dallas3212 It's not always easy to move on, but it's simple. You want to hold onto hate, go ahead! You can suffer mental shackles for as long as you want.
People always want what is easy, I understand that, but it's been over for a long time. What I would suggest people do is make themselves responsible for who they are as individuals and stop allowing their environment dictate who they are! Morgan Freeman echoed these sentiments. You have choices....rejoice!
@dancer95849 I had to laugh when I saw your comment! It's what I said just as I decided to change my life....not in a religious way, because I'm an atheist now, but just who I wanted to be and to accept full responsibility for what happens in my life. A rhetorical question...who do you want to be?
I've said this b4, we are all equal, but what makes us different is the quality of the choices we make!
As far as black history month...white people get the whole year! And black schools received funding from donations such as evening of the stars program...and black universities aren't exclusive to just only blacks! And I don't agree with the N word..I hate the word and people including blacks need to stop using that word
I HEAR BLACK KIDS AT SCHOOL SAY 10X WORST. iTS ok for David chappell to say nigger or any other black insult. I hear black people putting down George Bush all the time? She is dead wrg. Black people get a whole month for black history Im white and i get none. American Indians dont, greeks, jewish ,polish noone but blacks. Blacks get funding for schools which i cant get. Blacks can say nigger and not get in trouble,Imus repeated what he heard and loses his job? So sick of the nonsense!
OMG!! I love love love this woman. A true inspiration, and she speaks the truth not afraid to be real. Wish Everone was like her, This world would be a far better place. Go on wit your bad self Miss Maya Angelou
@hiphopson Exactly! vulgarity is vulgarity no matter what! I didnt mean all black men! i apologize if thats what i came off as, I was jsust trying to make a point that some black men think its ok to degrade their own women but when someone like Imus says something, all hell breaks loose. I didnt mean to say all black men are like this because theyre not!
@markee871 not all blackmen degrade their women please STOP the generalization and demonization of my black brothers! The only one degrading blackwomen are the industry puppets, those that sold their soul for the almighty dollar. Degrading of Black women and demonizing of black men is an entirely white supremacist institute and the sellouts who assist their masters. Point blank end of story.

Picked up the book "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sing" without knowing who Maya Angelou was many years ago. Could not put it down. Such a beautiful spirit comes through her written and spoken words.
I say, "AMEN, SISTER!!' Foul language is foul language. This "Shock Jock" and his comment ARE no better than the foul language being used by so-called "artists".
I have never heard of this "Shock Jock" until this hit the news. I wonder how many others have ever heard of him until this. It seems just like another way to get publicity. After all, bad publicity is bettter than no publicity at all. I wonder how many people even heard his remark first hand.
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?"
@Lrdvltr actually. She's earned them. She's been through molestation as a young child. Teenage pregnancy. And a 5 year period where she didn't talk at all because she was so traumatized. And she amazing turned this into fantastic poetry such as Still I Rise, Men, Alone, ect. So next time, just because you see someone who is successful and happens to be black, that doesn't mean that they just get awards thrown at them. (sometimes it's quite the opposite.
@Cuterdenu999 I'm wondering what she might have been like without all the drama in her life....seems to have had a positive effect or rather she transformed the negative....my favorite expression is 'life doesn't create who you are...it reveals who you are'.

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.
Hi I heard a Osho's discourse on the secret power Of LOVE from oshovision. It is toooooooooooo good. After reading The Secret & The power by Rhonda, Osho's discourse gave me immense understanding.
HER WORDS RING SO TRUE TOUCHING THE VERY CORE OF MY BEING MAKING ME FEEL AS ONE WITH HER WITH OTHERS WITH NATURE...THANK YOU EMPRESS MAYA ANGELOU FOR GIVING US SO MUCH !!!
When people use words such as bitch and hores it is normally not a racial problem. It is a sexist problem and it hurts ALL women. Furthermore, when people are racists they upset not only the other race but also those from their own race who see alle people as equal.
Those MOTHERFUCKING NIGGERS better understand that there are some new CUNT bosses in town and we're not here to FUCK around with those RETARD DICKFUCKS. Let each WETBACK and NIGGER that they're just as bad as DIRTY ASS CUNT MUSLIMS and PEDOPHILES and NIGGER WOMEN who rhyme and FAGGOTS
Eating shit is a great hobby of my cunt ass. Vaginal warts interest me to a high goddam fucking degree and I love to fucking shove dildos up my cunt and ass hole. Muslims and jews suck my dick for ten cents a minute. Mexicans do it for scraps of fecal stained food I pass out at my bedroom window. Blacks do it for a diet coke. I know some white faggots and some cunt ass soccer moms who will do it for the taste, some even for the calories, claiming it fuels them during the day
@BlasphemousPothead does your mommy know you are playing on the computer?....14 year old little boys shouldn't be using language like that....p.s. in real life i would whoop your ass (believe that baby)
Believe me. In my opinion, I am more than capable mentally and physically to assualt you violently til the brink of death, and then raping you viciously. Those are just my thoughts. What do you have to say in this matter, ma'am?
@BlasphemousPothead i say...ur opinion doesn't mean much to reality...p.s. the only way to assault a person is violently lol...u are amusing to me for some morbid reason.. and no "sir" i know i would kick your ass and speaking of reality... i wouldn't really need to being as how i am ALWAYS strapped
Keep your strapped pussy ass outta my way. If you want to buy a pair of balls at your local shit stained thrift store, and fight somewhat like a man, hit me up. Dumbass fool. Why morbid? And I would have to agree with you. Probably none of the people who commented on this video in the entirety of its history are going to become anything significantly successful in life. What a joke.
@BlasphemousPothead I don't know why you bothered to write a comment like that. I suppose you thought you would elicit an angry and defensive response which you would have gotten a great kick out of. Well.........you wasted your time didn't you.
The response appears outwardly calm, but I'm sure I pulled a few strings and pushed a few semen stained buttons on your cunt ass, so don't lie to me.
And while we're here, I would like to simply, thank you for this. It has been one of the most thoroughly rewarding and memorable periods of my life these past three hours. You actually wasted more time than me because I pumped these two comments out faster than you, and I'm going to set another speed record with your mom soon.
Absolutely hilarious. We need more people like you in the world. The only other thing you need to do now is learn how to suck cock better. I want to see improvement, boy.
That last one was out of place, obscene, and frankly inappropriate. I made that comment in sheer desperation and need for a laugh. I was also in a bad mood at the time. That said, let us continue.
Well I just came, in fact. And since you're wondering I can come again in as little as 10 minutes, I've tried. there won't be as much semen but I'm sure your mother will gobble it up nonetheless.
Thank you. Tell your mom I'm sorry for cumming in her eye. That was an accident. And tell her good job on cleaning her dick this time. It was a good improvement over the time before that.
I am now. I don't know about your mother though. Talk about rugburn. With a touch of formaldehyde. Jesus fucking christ jesus goddam mother of god what the fuck holy shit man
@BlasphemousPothead On a full moon when my periods are unstable, I take out a spoon and drink myself under the table. It tastes ever so good on toast.
@BlasphemousPothead We have already gone back and forth with comments and I just can't be arsed entertaining it any futher, but I just wanted to ask you one thing. Beneath your vulgar exterior, I sense an intelligent person. Do you just write people comments for shits and giggles, or are you so starved for attention that negative attention is better than nothing? Apologies in advance if my comment comes across as critical. I'm not trying to piss you off.
I am intelligent. To be completely honest, no bullshit, I'm actually a very tolerant person. I respect people, have a sense of humor, a capacity to think, and I appreciate differences in people and viewpoints. I also have a sense of humor, a wittiness which doesn't come out as much in the mostly vulgar comments you've see. I do it for entertainment, nothing more. My actual views are hardly ignorant or inhumane. Piss me off? Like we haven't been going back and forth forever?
@BlasphemousPothead Ya, I thought so. I'm sure you are very funny and witty in reality, but what is with the racist comments?As you know, racism can be a very sore point for some people. I just don't agree with deliberately hurting people for entertainment. Anyway, you have your own free will and you can do what you wish.
Genuine racism actually furiates me. I literally want to kill racists sometimes. Sometimes when we're angry, racism is an easy way to relieve anger. I am almost sure that not a single person on this Earth is innocent in that. I've been thinking, I think part of why I do it, is to make racism look bad, and perhaps somehow it will make even more people rally against it, rather than join it. And in that way, I can entertain myself and help something...in a weird way.,,thought..
@BlasphemousPothead That is indeed an unusual way to try to get people to "rally against it", but although you may feel your intentions are good, people will just see you as a very ignorant individual spouting mindless drivel with the intent to make others feel inferior, which I'm sure you very well know. If you are really trying to make racism look bad, what is your intention behind telling someone you are going to "rape her viciously"?
@BlasphemousPothead You think you're so funny, don't you? Are you familiar with the phrase "leading someone up the garden path"? I know that is what you were doing, but it was interesting to see what you would say.
haha ok I just did that for entertainment as well. But do you have anything more to add to the discussion? If your question is competent enough to warrant an intelligent response, I'll give you one. If not, then you know where the computer shut down button is.
@BlasphemousPothead I'm not trying to be insulting, but I suppose youu feel really brave hiding behind your computer screen insulting loads of people. In reality you are probably a very quiet and reserved person who wouldn't say boo to a goose. Anyway, I wish you the best
Honestly, I wish you the best too. And I don't take that personally. I do accept the truth, and you're right. I have an aggressive side, certainly, but that's more of a personal anger and in reality, is not targeted towards any specific group. I am a quiet, reserved, intelligent, unbiased, and curious person. I don't feel brave hiding. Being anonymous allows more to come out. Why do you think children rarely raise their hand in class when they're older? Being wrong is bad.
I'm 16 and I have never seen intelligence in such a pure form like this, right in front of me. I love the message she is putting out, and her words aren't extremely complicated, she's so straight-forward.
omg haha this is different... normally hearing black people talk is like hearing nails on a chalkboard for me, yes its fair to say that im a bit racist... but this woman has such grace and clarity of thought.. its really refreshing
I don't see how any could hate her.. she is really an American icon,hero and is honestly a real role-model. If all people were like here this worls could be flawless.
@kangrotmwa This kind of comment is exactly what she was talking about, with black women being at the 'bottom of the totem pole'. Substance in a woman shouldnt be a matter of color. Thousands of women of all shapes, sizes, colors, and creeds could use a little more substance.
hey i have to agree with you there. I heard one poem called "still I rise" and i was annoyed cause of an argument and that helped to put things in to perspective for me....
I have two of her books and just finished Hallellujah recipes and life stories, can't wait to read the others, seeing this has made me admire her even more! What an amazing lady!
Im 12, But im still reading her books

I say, "AMEN, SISTER!!' Foul language is foul language. This "Shock Jock" and his comment ARE no better than the foul language being used by so-called "artists".
I have never heard of this "Shock Jock" until this hit the news. I wonder how many others have ever heard of him until this. It seems just like another way to get publicity. After all, bad publicity is bettter than no publicity at all. I wonder how many people even heard his remark first hand.
Stick and stones . . .

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?"

@Lrdvltr actually. She's earned them. She's been through molestation as a young child. Teenage pregnancy. And a 5 year period where she didn't talk at all because she was so traumatized. And she amazing turned this into fantastic poetry such as Still I Rise, Men, Alone, ect. So next time, just because you see someone who is successful and happens to be black, that doesn't mean that they just get awards thrown at them. (sometimes it's quite the opposite.

@Cuterdenu999 I'm wondering what she might have been like without all the drama in her life....seems to have had a positive effect or rather she transformed the negative....my favorite expression is 'life doesn't create who you are...it reveals who you are'.

When people use words such as bitch and hores it is normally not a racial problem. It is a sexist problem and it hurts ALL women. Furthermore, when people are racists they upset not only the other race but also those from their own race who see alle people as equal.
Shame on them whatever race they belong to.

Beneath your vulgar exterior, I sense an intelligent person. Do you just write people comments for shits and giggles, or are you so starved for attention that negative attention is better than nothing? Apologies in advance if my comment comes across as critical. I'm not trying to piss you off.
purplebanana1000 1 year ago
@purplebanana1000
I am intelligent. To be completely honest, no bullshit, I'm actually a very tolerant person. I respect people, have a sense of humor, a capacity to think, and I appreciate differences in people and viewpoints. I also have a sense of humor, a wittiness which doesn't come out as much in the mostly vulgar comments you've see. I do it for entertainment, nothing more. My actual views are hardly ignorant or inhumane. Piss me off? Like we haven't been going back and forth forever?
BlasphemousPothead 1 year ago
@BlasphemousPothead Ya, I thought so. I'm sure you are very funny and witty in reality, but what is with the racist comments?As you know, racism can be a very sore point for some people. I just don't agree with deliberately hurting people for entertainment. Anyway, you have your own free will and you can do what you wish.
purplebanana1000 1 year ago
@purplebanana1000
Genuine racism actually furiates me. I literally want to kill racists sometimes. Sometimes when we're angry, racism is an easy way to relieve anger. I am almost sure that not a single person on this Earth is innocent in that. I've been thinking, I think part of why I do it, is to make racism look bad, and perhaps somehow it will make even more people rally against it, rather than join it. And in that way, I can entertain myself and help something...in a weird way.,,thought..
BlasphemousPothead 1 year ago
@BlasphemousPothead That is indeed an unusual way to try to get people to "rally against it", but although you may feel your intentions are good, people will just see you as a very ignorant individual spouting mindless drivel with the intent to make others feel inferior, which I'm sure you very well know. If you are really trying to make racism look bad, what is your intention behind telling someone you are going to "rape her viciously"?

@BlasphemousPothead I'm not trying to be insulting, but I suppose youu feel really brave hiding behind your computer screen insulting loads of people. In reality you are probably a very quiet and reserved person who wouldn't say boo to a goose. Anyway, I wish you the best
purplebanana1000 1 year ago
@purplebanana1000
Honestly, I wish you the best too. And I don't take that personally. I do accept the truth, and you're right. I have an aggressive side, certainly, but that's more of a personal anger and in reality, is not targeted towards any specific group. I am a quiet, reserved, intelligent, unbiased, and curious person. I don't feel brave hiding. Being anonymous allows more to come out. Why do you think children rarely raise their hand in class when they're older? Being wrong is bad.
