[splchk]

Patricia, I love you more than I can say...

[stevethesamoan]

People need to understand that this is a poem from the perspective of a racist skinhead. She, herself, is not racist. .

[GrimBallerina]

People are saying that she's racist to skinheads. My question is how can you be racist to something that isn't even a race?

[idis1abad]

Why can't there be more intelligent black women like this???

[talkindurinthemovie]

ummmmmmm  dont think she is being racist toward skin heads i think she is telling their story

[Applebaum]

@talkindurinthemovie 'Skinhead' is a Jamaican thing

[howrisky]

Ugh SHIT REVERSE STEREOTYPING

[irishpunx777]

shes raciest against skinheads and most of the time were aginst racism the boneheads are the raciest ones

This woman is an amazing inspiration for those intelligent enough to grasp her poetic irony. If you can't find the power in a black woman being able to create and recite something from such an opposite lifestyle than her own; than you are more than ignorant, your a moron. Perhaps if you weren't such a prejudiced person, you might be more open to the world. Judging someone based on the color of their skin is something people did 50 years ago. Have respect for people, less they give you validity.

@forbesjr you're* a moron.

[bladderdiva]

this is prejudiced against skinheads.

[JAKEWORLEY]

@bladderdiva most skins aren't even white, a very small percent of us are racist, and most of us resent them, they take a culture that is in origins white and black jamaican, and debase it.

[machakgo]

i love it

[rocktownmonster]

Amazing

[BellydancerFrank]

@LBSKINHEADARMY Um... this poem is written from the perspective of a White man.
