[TheShhSecret]

[robbooey]

Do she bite?

[mmartell3]

@MrTejano--Thanks! I appreciate understanding...

[JovyVallarCompagnon]

She is adorable

[lizzybear4]

She is so brilliant-full of love-so much, I'm grateful :) Thank you Maya

[lizzybear4]

She is so brilliant-full of love-so much, I'm grateful :) Thank you Maya

[mmartell3]

I truly am saddened by ignorant viewers choosing to negatively comment on her--her appearance at that! The self hate you must exhibit is astounding. Learn to love yourself. Then you won't feel the need to hate on beautiful people.

[MrTejano44]

@mmartell3 , True and Wise Statements ! ***** + !

[TheZIONISTDAVID]

Maybe its me, but Harry Smith acts like he has a surplus of white guilt. 

[DirtyMekanic]

God Bless Maya Angelou. She's touches my heart every time she speaks.

[hellokittycutie2003]

*random thought* I LOVE the decor in that room...very earthy and calming. Back on topic, lol, I love Maya...such wisdom and such a beautiful soul. Just looking at her, my heart warms and becomes calm.

[Albatros2U]

Exemplary. Classy. Intellectual. Tactful and poised. She is...Maya. As a person with Mayan roots (Guatemala), I have always wondered how a name can link two separate individuals so tightly together: It is her genuine resolve. She rises and we all rise! Thank Dr. Angelou, you are loved. I believe love creates incorrigible risks: Everyone should see Dr. Angelou's reading of Rachel Corrie's risk rendition in you tube.

...and think!

[alfleroux]

awesome person

[SkylerAnne28]

She is a beautiful soul, like a butterfly.  Just amazing and bless are we for her commitment and hope for us. For she shares out of love. It is not easy to be in the public eye or to put your thoughts on the line. So strong you have to be. Goes to show you don't have to swear or belittle anyone in order to get a gorgeous rhyme. Bravo!!!! Miss Angelou Bravo!!

[TheZIONISTDAVID]

@SkylerAnne28 - She is a big lipped monkey.

[MrILLMINDED]

hi im maya angelou and i wanna talk to you LMAO!

[moonbow11]

An American great. Thank you for sharing those great words.

[tschickel27]

So well spoken and classy.

[MrZebraZombie]

I think she's sexy.

[ImmeasurableOne]

@MrZebraZombie Very intelligent comment....Wisdom is forever sexy....

[Justwonderwhy2]

I love her. And i'm white and english!! she is amazingly inspirationa!

[InfinityXMaster]

what is she doing today?

[prosperousrose]

there is no one better than a poet such as her. She began my love for poetry in eight grade

[Spalding30120]

and you are such a waste of human flesh, you (if you are a woman) should be euthanized with Ann Coulter, Sarah Palin, and Ms California, skanks like those , and YOU deserved to breath instead of air, carbon monoxide

[kennylondon123]

You sounded just like Sarah Palin !!

Not so intelligent huh ?? Now dig a hole and jump in it !!

[SeXySaXpLaYeR08]

She is such an amazing woman. So wise. I weep listening to her beautiful poems.

[Blaqnubi]

what a wonderful woman

[poeticjournalism]

Maya Angelou = GOD. Simply GOD.

[hwame]

She should have run for president! But Obama's a pretty good substitute!

[Neeshpeesh123]

She is the epitome of wisdom. Shes just brilliant! love her love it love it!!

[CarvedGrape]

@Neeshpeesh123 Brilliant as a basket of bananas. This chimp is DUMB as a CHIMP.

[TheZIONISTDAVID]

@Neeshpeesh123 - She is a racist fukin baboon. SHEBOON.

[SASAussie]

@Neeshpeesh123 Brilliant? Not. A 4th grader has more creativity in his finger than Angelou.

[boboz90]

@SASAussie Youre not even American. How dare you voice your worthless opinion about an AMERICAN icon, you cant even live here. Dont you have a flood to clean up? It takes a historical disaster in your country to make our evening news. Get lost moron.

[SASAussie]

@boboz90 I currently reside in California and I understand American literature to its entirety. Maya Angelou is talentless. She's an icon put forth by Zionists and the black liberation movement to "prove" they have someone as "gifted" in poetry as some of the 17th-19th century greats.

[VMAN851]

because she reminds me of m grandmother so full of wisdom and when ver you see her you can't do anything but smile

[VMAN851]

it always makes me wanna cry when i see her

[CarvedGrape]

@VMAN851 She is a chimp.

[dvoraswickle]

I would love to meet her too. dvora swickle

[kichichica]

She is such a wonderful woman,a true inspiration.

[TacoBellmakesmepoop]

What a wise woman...

[JordanDurell]

I ran into her once on an elevator in San Francisco, I told her I remembered her from talk radio way back in the late sixties,and that I enjoyed her so much then. She replied, "that certainly does date both of us" She is everything you would expect and more.

[RegardezLaLune]

You ran into her in an elevator? Wow.

Thats a story the grand children will treasure.

:-)

[chelcbroadway]

shes such an inspiration..

[amarantine81]

she is very cool!!!

[Gabrielle32]

[octoberapple]

[mandycaly]

What a heart warming,truthful,strong,and loving

woman.

[calichris395]
