Giovanni...How does it feel to have the blood of 32 of your students on your own hands? You should have helped him when he reached out his hand. But due to your racist and prejudice beliefs towards him, you let him fall further into darkness. Is that how we treat our mentally disabled? Do we just spit on them and hope they die off on the streets?
You thought you were spitting a man, but you found a God.
Historically Blacks were Republican, the party of the business owner.Before belief that the American Dream was to be attained by the integration, we had strong communities where we were self sustaining.It was the Republicans that founded the anti-slavery party and fought for our freedom; the founders of the NAACP were Republican, a republican congress passed the 13, 14, & 15 amendment granting us freedom, citizenship and the right to vote.Do you know what party MLK was affliated with?
Everyone has had a hand in the injustice regarding race relations in the country. Democrats and Republicans alike. However, I am beginning to see that the modern day democrat party is the party of crippling minorities more than anything the republicans could ever do.
@dalson00 CONDI IS ARTICULATE AND TALENTED BUT I FEEL SHE HAD NO PLACE AT MS. PARKS FUNERAL- SHE WAS PROBABLY DISAPPOINTED IN CONDI LIKE 99% OF BLACKS IN AMERICA WERE. CONDI WORKED FOR THE PARTY THAT CREATED AND SUPPORTED ALL THE INJUSTICES ROSA FOUGHT AGAINST. RICE, THOMAS AND STEELE ARE EMBARASSMENTS TO BLACKS
Nikki,what the fuck is wrong with you? I've admired you for so long and this is the type of rhetoric you vent towards another black professional? I look foward to asking you about this during your speech next month at Dilliard University.
Nikki Giovanni is brilliant. Our opinions tend to be very similar, so I can't pretend to be offended. I love it. Most importantly, though, she's brilliant, witty, and outspoken... and just an interesting human-being. She is "just" a poet. Not to devalue poets, because I am one. But poets, if NO ONE else on Earth, have the right to express their feelings freely and vividly to an audience and not have to worry about the politics of the situation.

I've found that Nikki is great at articulating the Black experience; However, she does a terrible job at politics. I mean, I respect her, but the way she attacks conservative Blacks is repulsive.
People are aloud to attack to attack conservatives, and most liberals probably want to. And she IS black. Does he not have a right to attack black people?
We all have a right to our opinions, and we can agree to disagree. I agree with a lot of her thoughts, however I do not consider Rice a sell out nor do I think she is a crazy bitch. We tend to attack one another according to what our truth is. Everybody including Nikki will do what is needed to be done to survive. I do not know many people who would turn down being Secretary of State. Rice is a stratigist she earned her place and Nikki has earned hers, when will be stop demeaning each other.
Condy did not come from poverty at all, which is she feels that we don't need to pull the race card. Both of her parents were educated and had great professions. Her father was a minister and her mother was a teacher.

this is actually quite embarrassing to watch. as an adult who has much respect for nikki, it's obvious she is struggling to remain relevant. a woman of her intellectual capacity running around calling people "crazy bitch"...the only people who will applaud that are disillusioned, naive, young college students and she knows it...so sad to watch
I absolutely adore this woman. She's said what so many of us THOUGHT, but were afraid to SAY.

I believe that her comments against Condoleezza Rice were quite ignorant and very offensive to the memory of Rosa Parks.

I was there listening to her @ MDC. Nikki was great up until she started talking about politics. What the hell does politics have to do with Rosa?
Condoleezza is a BLACK woman that rose from poverty. Wasn't she talking about doing what you need to do to get by?
