Wh is Nikki?
Does anyone know what the “Appalachian infant” thing is all about? Very strange, I thought.....
She’s always gotta be shilling for the cause, you know. Nothing takes precedence over the forward march of socialism.
What? Liberals are scum.
Almost the whole speech I didn't get and went waaaaaaaaaaaaay over my head
She is anything but coming together.
Well said. Thats insane.
I guess she thinks he's a 'terrorist.'
When I first heard her, I thought it was a replay of the Wellstone Rally. That is the exact tone she took.
“We know we did not deserve it but neither does”.... the audience here who has to listen to this baloney !!!
She’s a real piece of work..
She disgraced the dedication of a monument in Cincinnati last year. She is a hater.
I am not a son of a bitch like Kenny Blackwell

nice turn of phrase there.
Is anyone really surprised? After the Wellstone memorial, The Coretta scott King funeral that a leftist would use a grand stage like this to spew this absolute tripe. Especially in Academia.
Does every University have an on staff Poet Laurette?
The students I saw at the student gathering today seem pretty conservative and well spoken when interviewed by the MSM.
Nikki seemed to take advantage of the situation to grand stand for causes beyond the horrific events that took place yesterday at VT.
How long is the VT circus in town anyway? I’m sure that there are at least 1,343 people who haven’t been interviewd or photo’d on tv yet..........
I would like to know just who likes this woman enough to invite her in the first place.
She's not saying that they're equivalent tragedies, she's saying that there's no reason behind the tragedy at Virginia Tech anymore than there's reason behind tragedies that happen anywhere in the world. Deserve has nothing to do with it, so be sad but don't be afraid.
Not her best by any stretch of the imagination, but I give Prof. Giovanni slack because she is writing one day after the incident.
Speaking of which, Nikki Giovanni is quite a talented poet and worth looking at for any FReeper poetry fans.
Obviously a swipe at Appalachian mining, because, you know, infants are routinely killed in their cribs by boulders rolling over their houses that were in turn dislodged by mining companies. Republican mining companies, of course.
