  • I like mad respect her..

  • I have a great deal of respect for Mya Angelou. She does a wonderful job of letting God use her as a vessel to which she can help show some people that a person can be loving.... not perfect, but trying to be a person who people can recognize as having good intentions... If anyone doesn't like Mya Angelou, I'm sorry that you have nothing better to do w/ your time than dwell on your dislike of a person... I really wish that I could meet Dr. Mya Angelou.

  • @Lrdvltr ...Define "real poets'? If you don't like her, and millions do because she is brillant. Why are you on her video, right click and never enter her world. She is a critically acclaime/author essayist/poet and nothing your uneducated ukrainian ass can write will change that. She is a part of the fabric that is American and millions LOVE HER. POOF YOU BE GONE! LOL

  • @dancer95849 I live in Ukraine, not the US. We read real literature by real poets and authors from the UK and the United States.

  • @Lrdvltr ...Get over yourself, Liberals, Democrats and President Obama rule your world. Good, be prepared for another 4 years. Maybe you should consider moving to another country. Create your own. LOL

  • @dancer95849 She's a giant because she's promoted by Liberals when there are far more talented poets. You're funny, yet such a typical liberal. Get over yourself, I'll bet you're all for Obama 2012.

  • @Lrdvltr ...Wow, get over yourself. Perhaps, you feel her writings are shallow because you are. There is a history to AFFIRMATIVE ACTION...read it idiot. You won't, you want to bask in your self righteous racism. You are funny but so typical. Maya is a giant in this world, and well you, a commentor on a YT video. You suck and those that think like you. Peace

  • @MsAsli1 I understand her shallow writings completely. There were poets that came long before her that wrote much better poetry yet they are overlooked because of AFFIRMATIVE ACTION.

  • @Lrdvltr

    You are a weak person if u cannot comprehend and understand this amazing woman.

  • @abielove You are a weak person if she's your idol.
