@NatTurnerIsAlive, Ok, dude. You're acting as though Black women are the only ones "acting like their right about everything" and the only ones whose offspring are dealing with the issues you've mentioned. You can't blame such incredibly complex issues on one group of people only. Those issues are caused by a combination of things, and what you've said is undeservingly harsh.
@NatTurnerIsAlive the black fathers should be there to provide for their daughters, allowance, education, guidance and when they come of age if theyre suxually loose like every other race of women, its their perogative, they are just adult living their lives.
@matakatoe Wow so you must be the great Laini Mataka. You are so inspiring. Please understand great queen. Now is the age of information. The revolution we seek is at hand. I know you deserve compensation for your work. Still I hope you see that your work is not in vain. You are loved and appreciated by millions. I hope you continue to inspire others with the glorious talent that the One universal consciousness blessed you with. If possible I would love to talk about you appearing at my college
I am the author of this poem. If I had a dollar for every time someone used this piece without my knowledge or permission, I could put a contract out on white supremacy and 'he' would be dead by tomorrow.
This is a lovely poem.
