Suheir Hammad Not Your Erotic, Not Your Exotic

[faissalo]

I hate people who go on stage, talk like a retard like they have just arrived on planet earth and then convince themselves they are 'deep' !! Pausing after words where its unnecessary in a sentence just makes you seem inarticulate and retarded.. Anyone can go on stage and dilly dally around the actual statement. Annoying.

Dear Wanna-be poet woman: Sorry your life has sucked till the point you feel the need to jump on stage and deny the fact that you've been a whore. Not all men will treat you as such. Sorry men have placed you in positions that have clearly left you degraded. Bad rhyming wont fix that. Change comes from within, not by spewing some lines at some hipster poetry jam.

I love it! This is an anthem for me and all other women of color who are fed up with stereotypes and fetishization by mainstream media.

Thank you Ms. Hammad.
