Instead of denouncing him as the evil bastard he was, and taking responsibility for not stopping him herself, she takes off on a bizarre, nuts-o diatribe filled with left-wing fantasy nonsense about baby elephants?!?
BUMP (again)
That “military style haircut” should have been the last straw! /sarcasm
Oh my...and she got up fromt in the service and made a speech...hmmm...
Wow, these kids were so afraid of him, they refused to come to class?
I was trying to figure out why she was speaking at all. Now it’s clear. What is unclear is the complete disjuncture between (a) the perfectly normal response she had to this nutcase and (b) the moonbat talk she gave the assembly after the massacre. I suspect she was unable to admit that she herself really, truly believes that it is the responsibility of authority figures (white ones, no less) to stop obviously psychopathic people (including “minorities”) from harming others, no matter what the psychopaths might say about their rights and so on.
He was barely literate and yet was passed through the university with passing grades because no one would admit that he didn’t belong in college.
Obviously the only good Giovanni is Aria Giovanni.
Absolutely no poetic justice in this story. /sarcasm
Condolences to all of the innocent victims, their families and their friends.
Who the hell is Nikki Giovanni? Why was she allowed to give a speech? And above all why should anyone give a rat’s rectum what she says thinks or does?
This should have come with a ‘Barf Alert’.
Yolande ("Nikki" is a pseudonym) Cornelia Giovanni Jr. (!) today glibly dismisses questions about her radical activities on campuses in the seventies. She is an icon on all the left-wing, anti-war, peace movement tripe cluttering the internet and blogosphere.
Her poem "Black Judgement" calls for the destruction of repressive whites and middle-class "Black collaborators".
The poem also asks "Nigger, can you kill?" and ends with a directive for him to kill in order to become a "Black Man"
Hardly a published reference to Giovanni is complete without the most famous of her poetic lines being quoted. These line are from her poem "The Great Pax Whitie (the great peace of whitey). The memorable and truly profound Shakespearian lines are:
"In the name of peace
They waged the war
Ain't they got no shame?"
I'd like to dedicate one of my own masterful poems to Ms. Nikki:
As a long-time FR laureate-ette
I have both rhyme and reason to vet
Throw Maya and Nikki into a trash-can
And bring back a bard like Ogden Nash, man!

Comparing the death of a human being to the death of an elephant demeans the deceased humans.
ok...so maybe it’s all right to abandon political correctness when Nikki is the one who feels physically threatened.
Other then that...business as usual.
So what’s she saying, It’s no big deal what happened in Blacksburg? Even an elephant was shot in Africa? What?
bump...thanks for this thread
