Maya Angelou on Censorship in Wake of the Imus Affair

[170flyguy]

I think that this video has so many racist remarks is because its pains to see a black well educated woman.

[Nanger2008]

The black community destroyed itself, no matter how much we've tried to blame the white man, we made it ok for a 10 or 12 year old to disrespect women or become a thug or a gangsta, and now we call that our culture.. the long lived black culture is long gone and now we're faced with garbage...this so called "hip hop culture" is destroying this new generation... What happened to Martin Luther King's message?..

[Sempuukyaku]

The funny thing is that most of these insidiously racist remarks here...are all probably coming from Ron Paul supporters. Sad really.

By the way, black women are equally as guilty of destroying their image. All you have to do is search "booty" in the searchbar, and you'll find plenty of 15 year old black girls making a mockery of themselves, and they are TAUGHT to do that by their own culture.

[bloody]

The black community destroyed itself, and now they are getting paid to destroy it. These money hungry bastards really think that they will be safe with their checks from the corporations. After they are gone, there will be even less wealthy african americans because of the nature they endorse.

The censorship I am reffering to is Black womens (and women in general in America) being able to call men all kinds of names anytime on tv and networks not allowing men to say what THEY really think and feel, that doesn't work on youtube Black womens aids

gets the attention it deserves. A WHORE is called a whore, like it or not!

[gracebelieverz]

Laura Bush isnt dancin around in a thong makin her butt cheeks clap so she exempts herself from this

discourse Miss angelou!! These skanky Black whores

have the highest HIV/AIDS in America and are so immoral they are the last choice of all men the most REJECTED WOMEN ON EARTH!!!!! Black women don't respect themselves so rappers are just telling it like it is!!!!

[Lego0ma4n]

you when you are of color.you are being censor from birth.

[gracebelieverz]

Go to Black womens youtube videos and u will find that u r not allowed to comment, they want censorship because they can't handle rebuttal of any kind. Us Black men have more to say about them than Imus ever could. they man-bash all day but stoop to censorship? go to blacktown(.)net for a Black male perspective on the frenzied women of color

[LiiCKABLE]

You've commented numerous times, is youtube your only outlet to rant? You seem very disturbed emotionally and mentally. You don't get what she's saying. No, Laura Bush isn't dancing around in thongs just like the majority of black women aren't. Yet, they're still disrespected as a whole group. So why aren't white women being labeled and disrespected? Like Maya said blacks especially women are at the bottom of the totem pole.

[MrLarrylegend]

Black women are disrespected mostly by blacks!! Lets face it, niggers don't act respectfully!! Neither does Maya!! She's an angry bitch even tho she has been spoiled by american society for doing nothing!! Most people don't know that she was a sorry, single mom who went around fucking in the hood like they still do nowadays! She's a welfare mom at her core!!

[UyFrankito]

I love Maya Angelou but I'm not sure she was all there for this interview... How old is she?

[aprilwinchell]

Huh?

[sadaharuo]

Yay censorship!!!

Thanks "Doctor"!

[gracebelieverz]

Black women have disproportionate std's among all women showing they are promiscuous, lowdown and dirty,

but want to hide behind gov't censorship preventing

decent men from calling a WHORE A WHORE!!!!!!!!!

If Black women would invest time in loving and raising their sons, males would respect them dont u think? U go Gurl aint workin chile

[cuntysasha]

WOW! After reading ur post i really feel sorry for u! DO u really believe what u wrote? THis is why we as human will never get past the issues of race and sexism!
