    Never again will I scroll down comments again when I see something powerful. I can't believe some of the comments I'm seeing. Like would it kill you to show just an inch of respect.

    All respect to this young lady. That's some real insightful lyrical piece of art.

    This young lady has really said everything that has camed to my mind on how society have treated Black women since the years of time. She is a very outspoken person and I truly believe that she has found her calling. Good look with your poems.

    The *ONLY* reason to be mad at her for what she said is cause *you* guys just fell in the category of idiots that she just pointed out... Otherwise you guys would be applauding her just like the rest of us

      Okay this is a great start. So now it's time to make poetry about the OKC cop that raped 8 black women th-cam.com/video/4uYf-pvoqPo/w-d-xo.html. Or now it's time to protest ghettogaggers .com, or the white man that shot Renisha McBride in the face. If you wanna show how powerful you are fight white supremacy, you can criticize the corporate American runned hip-hop industry as much as you want. But you are just using selective rage against the most powerless men in America why don't you use this energy towards your true oppressor?

      +Lindy Serry Exactly. Guys who identify with the men she talks about shouldn't be allowed to voice their ignorant opinion about women anyway. They don't even understand how bad they make themselves look by spilling that bullshit.

      @thomashcullen3253 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Ramsees Jordan No, I'm not trolling.. Trolling is saying negative things to people - I'm sure you would agree that telling someone they deserve a house for free isn't negative.
