It's never time to talk honestly about any "person of color."
Ever.

Neocommunists are as repugnant as neonazis.
The presstitutes cover up for Commies. Always have.

If she had been white, we never would have heard of her.

She’s dead, Jim.
There was no need to talk about her when she was alive and useless, why start now?

Now she’s met the Highest Being and I imagine that ‘Dr. Angelou’ is going to come up way short.

Politics makes strange bedfellows indeed. When one’s view swerves so far left that you hate even the moderate libs, who ya gonna turn to? Stalin, Lenin, Fidel, Chavez.. all become one’s heroes.
Perhaps the same can be said for the other side of the spectrum. I can hardly stand to listen to the moderates or RINOs that might as well be dems.

LOL! My wife and daughter mentioned it to me the other day that she was gone. My comment of “No loss” garnered me an odd look. They don’t quite get that she was pretty much useless as a poet and even more so as a victim. Bye bye margaret.

There never was a good time to talk about her. She was a socialist/fascist and a pimple on the ass of time.

Truly lousy poet, who loved to hear herself TALK forever holding on vowels with agony for the listener. With a faked up name, a Castro apologist (of course—following the Castro edict in the Cuban revolt—”Black man get your blanco women”- Ok’ing class warfare rape of the few unfortunates who could not get out of the country). Who elevated her victimhood to a prize winning level (Oprah anyone LOL). There are so many more humble true stories, black or white of women surviving and conquering abuse without making a career of it.
Lo and behold we find out she kept and used guns in her house for protection. Of course communists/lefties have always had guns and tried to restrict others from having them— (Carl Rowan, Jay Rockefeller with his illegal full auto M-16 in his DC home, etc.)

I never gave her a thought one way or the other. I did think her poetry was boring but then what do I know about poetry?

She was an actress and not a very good one but she played her part to the final curtain call — and a whole lot of people applauded knowing that the whole thing was an act and her poetry was pathetic.

Affirmative Action. Enough said.

Your post just now is much better poetry than anything I ever read that she wrote.

Why, thank you! Yep, and I may upset some FReepers— I thought of her as a commie Rod Mckuen (doh!)
