She’s just another low-rent racist.
She loves Hussein for his skin color. That’s all.

Hey, Maya! Stereotyping people with ugly lies based on nothing more than your prejudice is called bigotry. Ascribing ugly motives and behaviors according to skin color is called racism.
You’re a sad little racist. Go to hell.

"I think we are going to see a number of people who say: 'I have no racial prejudice in my heart, not in my conversation,'" Angelou says. "But in the next few months, as we wind up to the double campaign, I tell you we are going to see some nastiness, some vulgarity, I think. They'll pull the sheets off." Maya is being vulgar already, saying those who will oppose 0 will "... pull the sheets off." She is directly implying that those who oppose 0 are KKK members. Not all racists are white ...

Remarkable is right! Everywhere I go, people are remarking. They are saying, “Remark this!”
People who voted for him are wishing they could remark their ballot. He remarked his non-existent birth certificate. He remarked his Social Security applications half a dozen times. His college papers have been remarked. So, yes, he is probably the most remarked identity since Carlos the Jackal. Remarkable.

To: Kimmers
He has done a remarkable job, in her eyes. You have to assume she wants what he wants: A bitterly divided nation, ripe for the pickings of some sly and clever demagogue, IOW, Obama. All the better he's sort of black, because that's the kind of despot she's looking for. She's always been a bitter racist, it shows in her work.

Now there’s a totally objective evaluation. No reason at all to suspect any bias on the part of Angelou.

Was she a Republican back then, because the Rev. Mrtin Luther King, Jr. sure was. President Lincoln (R-IL) freed the slaves, while the Democrats were the party of the KKK, Jim Crow, segregation, Gov. George Wallace (D-AL), the Dixiecrats, Harry Truman (”I think one man is just as good as another so long as he’s not a n*gger or a Chinaman.”), US Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV) (”Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.”) and many others...

Yeah, we saw this happen after 0bama was elected.
The “sheets” came off of black racial animosity.

If Obama’s done a “remarkable job,” in the sense of a very good job, then golly: What would a BAD job look like?

"She is directly implying that those who oppose 0 are KKK members." Barack Obama was a man of no talent or experience beyond making speeches when he ran for President after leaving no mark on the Illinois Legislature or the US Senate where he served in virtual anonymity. The leverage he had with voters was the ability to deride anyone who disagreed with him as a racist.
