"I'm mad cuz I got 3 minutes worth for this poem but I have ten minutes worth of Angry!"- This poem has me tearing up EVERY SINGLE TIME!
Dacia Turituri frfr u feel where she commin from and she is just not talkin
she needed to get it off her chest -- hell, we all do. this poem speaks to every black person who watches it.
@@russp1212 right
That line always hits me right in the soul
The people who need to see this the most won't even give her the time of day...
This poem is one of the best ones I have ever heard.
Yes
OMG yasss girl 😩😩😩
Jaysynj
Amir Khadar is that man or woman?
@@yogdrogxon687 you already know that she's a woman🙄
"i'm mad that education is key but the poor are locked out of it" dang
Oprah started a school in Africa. I haven't heard of her doing the same in the US to address inequalities.
@@dawnemile4974 I recall her talking about developing a school in America on one of her shows. She started out tutoring kids in Chicago. Yet some of the parents wouldn't agree to her Saturdays "schools" etc. And, the Chicago system at the time wouldn't give her the freedom to run the school like she envisioned. So, she went to Africa because of Mandela's request. I need to find the video and article as a valid reference. Also, Oprah has given money to HBCU schools as well as other schools out of her pocket, and via the Angels Network. But, one of my favorite stories is hearing about her scholarships to Morehouse University for black men. One year, Tyler Perry had all the graduates that she sponsored surprise her. Im not sure if the scholarship is still available but she offered it for many years. FYI Lebron James has a school. I really admire him!! And, Magic Johnson--helps build black wealth. If you have a small business, google and find out if his insurance company is still helping give small business funding. He stated that the small black businesses didn't get anything from the recent "stimulus". Magic Johnson is a BIG GIVER! Unfortunately, we can't say much about Michael Jordon. I only admire him for his skills. I refuse to buy his apparel. The black community still buys his shoes and wears #23 for over 2 decades. Yet, what has he done for the very people that support him?
@@CagedbirdFree so MJ doesn’t make a big show about what he does and doesn’t cowtow the narrative and now he doesnt “do enough?” Wtf is wrong with you people
@@atableinthewilderness680 I wonder are you my ex? LOL!! We use to "debate" this issue too.:) I guess Im more of a Magic Johnson fan when it comes to his commitment to establishing sustainable wealth within the black community, as well as giving to diverse communities. . Yet, I will acknowledge that Michael Jordon did make a pledge toward social justice groups. You are right he can create his own narrative in how he gives. I just wish he would have used his Public platform to encourage the black youth that were primarily buying his products. Sidebar--I met Charles Barkley once and he told me that he didn't have to be anyones role model. Maybe Micheal's example to youth is a committed work ethic and mastering skill level. So, Table in the Wilderness--can this be something we agree?
The poor are not locked out of education, Bullshit.
"Barbie is a standard of beauty"
Me: talk about it
Jamillah Bailey are you dumb.. it’s obvious
@@riahgetfly2151 that's what she's acknowledging by her comment
Bratz was trying to include everyone but barbie got big mad.
@@quwandathornton Smh and look how Bratz died out because of it. Barbie is still making money while Bratz dolls are a thing of the past
@@brownskinbeauty. It's sad
"I'm mad at black men for reasons I do not have time to list" RAH! #FireFromMyAfricanTongue
+Davina Oriakhi it was lit
Yas
+Davina Oriakhi yea she would another 10 mins for that lol
+Davina Oriakhi favorite line hands down !
+Davina Oriakhi kinda sad this is the line that you praise
she radiates strength and independence. this is amazing.
She also radiates blubber. Was a gross excuse for a woman, not even stevie wonder would go near that offensive excuse called a woman.
@@mgtowchampion7961 why would you say something like that?
@@babylegend3930 Because of free speech, she is a disgusting blob.
MGTOW CHAMPION and you are a disgusting snob, shall I continue? No because I don’t have time for someone who isn’t smarter than a door knob.
MGTOW CHAMPION She spoke on what we as black people especially black women have to deal with racism and stereotypes on a daily, so yes YOU are a blob😙
Unbelievable!! What a great line: "I've only got about 3 minutes to say this poem and I've got about 10 minutes worth of angry''... could become iconic!
Hello brother.

Not to exaggerate but this is probably the best poem I have ever heard.
@Mag Wumps that was very unnecessary though. Why would you say that to another person
@Mag Wumps English measures your intelligence? Wow. Its not school so Noone is obligated to spell correctly, as long as you got the message. It's really not necessary saying these things that you're saying honestly
Same. I still come back to this video
the first time i watched this was 4 years ago and i keep coming back to it
This is THE BEST poem ever written for sure
I'm mad at black men for reasons I don't have time to mention
Yes
THIS THIS THIS!!
+AmbleHeart bye
+AmbleHeart don't watch it then, stupid
+AmbleHeart don't watch it
"Not a single soul will look up to acknowledge my absence from Miss Universe. " Preach
Sally Blumenthal The words cut. Don't they?
Ccrobin23 Did this line cut deep into you too?
You misheard that drastically.
Breona Taylor’s killers are still on vacation.
*this
The minute she said “Hell, I’m pissed”.... I knew
lol
Damn!!!!! She just recited my life!!!
didn't she, though? I had to hug her through my laptop.
April Noel girl I cried
April Noel, sis, knowledge to power. Stay strong to all my sisters; stay strong.
That sad
This poem could not be more relevant at this point in time in America
Still relevant now, it's like the times haven't changed.
Mrs.Nickadeemus Can assure you they have not, this poem is very much still relevant in 2019, 5 years later
Akiera Gilbert damn what you thinking about America now it’s like a thousand times worse
Still relevant 4 years later
little did she know...
Showed this to my father because I really love it and he completely disregarded everything she said. When the video ended he asked "okay, so where is the poem?" and I gave him a look like What. The. Fuck. and he said "this is just ANOTHER angry black woman screaming 'bout how she aint even angry." My goddamn father is why I need poetry.
Smh
Kristen Mys it's so frustrating and infuriating. though somehow it's comforting to hear that it happens to other people too
I hate how my family doesn't talkie any of this seriously at all.
+Adjoa Baidoo Take*
+Kristen Mys i feel bad for your dad lol
I keep coming back for this is so good lordt
Me too girl.
Me tooooo
LAWDY LAWDY LAWDY !!!!
I remember listening to this years ago and I’m mad that ain’t nothing changed. I love this poem so much
nothing should change
😩
If nothing has changed for you, that is primarily YOUR fault, no one else's. The world is what it is and you better learn how to deal with it, because human nature is not changing any time soon.
this needs to be retweeted, shared, emailed, fwd, reblogged...
emijah sudler get on it then. I'm doing it now
I've got this on twitter, tumblr, Facebook, instagram...
And then flushed down the toilet, what a disgusting fucking beast.
"Look at the size of that thing"
"Cut the chatter Red Two"
"Accelerate to attack speed"
u shouldnt express ur opinion in anger because u are a victim. that how victim mentality work
just express urself in good mood that how strong people express themselves, anger dosent add any strength to ur argument
hope that help u
Wow. The delivery was so amazing.
"I'm mad at black men for reasons I don't have time to list"
Yesssss
Because you can’t emasculate them
@@atableinthewilderness680 no. That's not why. Stop.
Edit: some things men find that come with masculinity is so weird..the things men want from women. Me having 4c hair, caramel skin, and getting in my feelings when im attacked has nothing to do with a mans masculinity. Im just a 19 year old shy introverted young woman. Once this boy punch me because i didnt respond to him calling my name. I got angry. He called me an angry black woman and talked about black girl attitudes...why? Am i supposed to let you punch me ? Run over me....treat me like some doormat? Black women cant feel what people cant help but feel. They want me to sit there and take everything. Black men don't want to keep they masculinity....its nothing to do with being manly. A woman can't take away a mans masculinity because a woman doesn't have that power. Only a man can choose his strengths. Black men[not all] just want hand outs. Man in general want easy. Want a girl to stfu and obey. Im just as much as a girl as anyone else and just as much as a human being. So excuse me for defending myself...im the only protection i have.
@@TinyyTinkerbell well said ma’am
"I'm mad because Barbie is the standard of beauty" I felt that😩
*I'm mad at black men I don't have time to list* Preach !
That's my favorite on that list.
Mami J yesss!!!
Zabka Wow the ignorance is strong over here! Well let me enlighten you about something. The way a person turns out isn't based solely on their parents and it sure as hell isn't based solely on their mothers.
@@blakestark5177 huh?
Aryaija Dodson oh I was replying to someone else who deleted their comment 😂
Damn, I need to start going to poetry night lol
I don't think I've ever felt this much liberation just from words. She's absolutely beautiful.
Homegirl spit straight fire.
Why doesn't this have more views???????
+Salicia Ivey because she is "pissed the fuck off"
+donklue lol
Salicia Ivey haterz
Because she is a dark-skinned, heavy-set lesbian woman and those kinds of black women don't exist in the American imagination.
Because it's an "angry black woman" with a point. People just want to see angry black women, full stop.
holy shit I gotta watch this 15 more times
Man that ending made me smile.
Me too LMAOO
@@akiraelai8053 it made me 😭
PUT THIS ON THE FRONT PAGE OF EVERYTHING ASAP!!!
I lost the counting of how many times I've watched this. I can't get enough
This made me cry.... DEEP....
Me tooooooo 😞😥
Honestly
Still come back to this day. What a powerful performance
get chills everytime I watch this.
most humans are.
Wow, another powerful black woman preaching the truth.....I wish these women would tour and come to my home town....this shit need to be heard by the masses.......keep up the good work ladies, someday the world will hear from you!!
Wow. 4 years later and this STILL one of my all-time favorites
I come back to this poem often!
Mag Wumps Lol ok I hope you find something to be happy about ❤️
I still come back to this.
I want to marry her. This poem made me feel refreshed my poem. The beauty of unique expression
I read "I want to marry this poem" and I was like: YEAH! Me too! lol
You can marry me
You want to marry her ? Good luck in paying her weekly KFC bill. What a grotesque dog.
MGTOW CHAMPION stfu trash bag
MGTOW CHAMPION gtfoh you are trash get a life
This poem was the best thing that I’ve ever heard. I was in my bedroom smiling, crying and snapping while I got ready for work and played this. There is nothing more beautiful than taking the oppression thrown at you and turning it into empowerment for yourself and the masses. Black women are and have always been goddesses; it’s sad we live in a society that chooses to be ignorant of that, out of fear of all the magic beauty, power a black woman is made of. Thank you so much for using your voice, standing in your power and speaking your truth. You aren’t here for my appreciation or admiration, but I do appreciate and admire you ❤️
I've rewatched this too many times to count and it still stirs up fierce emotions, especially anger.
I'm mad cause Barbie is the standard of beauty I'm piss tf off
Barbie is made of plastic. She can't eat anything, or move on her own much less work out.
+Erin Hodge lol Exactly
Ignore stupid people
+Layon W. you're fucking weird
clergame lame
"They get hand me down books and hand me down chairs. Hand me teachers who give them hand me down stares."
Hit me right where it matters.
shout out to her, killed it
Listening to this again at 23 years old. Crying inside. Beautiful.
"I'm mad" that this poem resonated so loudly, it has me shedding tears at work.
I hate poetry but this in a exception. every thing she said is so true and I'm not saying this just because I am a black woman. people need to listen to this because this is nothing but the truth. And some people may not like what she said but the thing is everyday people have to suffer from things she has mentioned in this poem and honestly it has to stop.
exactly tess
amen
y do u have white people on ur profile?
.
Sino Thabatha because I like them and so I want them to be my profile pic
Her poetry gives me chills EVERY single time i hear her speak
This is still one of the most amazing poems written and I can't be told otherwise
Years later and I find myself back here
This is POWERFUL. I felt this in my soul.
you just an angry black woman
This gives me chills every time I watch it.
This is my favorite poem ever, I come here every year to remind myself of what a good poem looks like😭
This has become my favorite poem! My heart is literally beating so fast because I know and feel EVERY thing that she has said. Watch this and see why I am the way I am!

I googled angry black woman expecting memes but I found this deep enlightening video. Pure art, rthymn and knowledge.
I’m sooooo glad I came across her 🥺💯💯
Bro the amount of times I've watched this ....
Same I just keep coming back.
I cannot get over at how good that is.
This poem is still so amazing and relevant
Incredible poem, incredible delivery, incredible woman ♥
“Despite what you believe.. I’m really, really sweet!!!” I love this poem man🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺💕
I come back and visit this poem very often, and its sad that every single thing she said still applies.
This woman deserves to be famous. Everyone needs to listen to her.
2021 and this stilll gives me chills. Love this poem 🖤
I hate that I only got 3 mins to say this poem but I have 10 mins worth of anger
And I am mad that it's now after 8 years that i get to hear this poem.
Such a powerful poem. And her voice has so much strength ❤️🔥
"I am mad and I have every right to be pissed the fuck off." absolutely
i've watched this for over 10 times and i am still feeling this same energy!

Beautifully crafted poem by a beautifully made a Goddess

Just stumbled across this poem and then already watched it like ten times lbs what an amazing, and powerful piece
I can't stop watching her clips! 🙌🏾😳
I’m mad that I didn’t find out about this poem earlier
I think i’ve watched this once a week for the last few years, so good
I have listened to this ten times for the past five days & I love it more everyday
Period! I’m in LOVE with these videos !!!! 🤦🏽♀️
I wish she was my mentor

One of the best Poems I have ever heard.
This speech/poem gave me life!! And a seizure🙀🙌🏾yass!
Alia Scott you ALRITE
AHHHH this was off the chain PERIOD . You put everything in the right words of how i feel daily in corporate America.
This is genuinely one of the most empowering pieces of writing that I have ever listened to. I watched this for my African American and Diaspora Studies course this semester and I keep coming back to it. Chills every single time.
She's my favorite performance artist, hands down.
That's right Black Women, we have a right to be angry ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Thank you The Vixen, I’m glad I watched this.
This is incredible. I had a friend link me to this and this is the best slam poetry I’ve ever seen.
This is so powerful!! And i feel this everytime everyone tries to mention angry black women!! These strong powerful women do not need me to stick up for them. However this is so true and i will be damed if everyone i know doesn’t hear this!!!!
On fleek... girlfriend put the whole damn country on BLAST! Tore if the fuck up! Mic dropped all day long!
+Layon W. Idk for sure but I think she's mad...lol jk, I think she's pissed because she acts like she isn't...
Layon W. shut up thug
It’s just so good. I keep coming back to listen to it.
i got chills!! this work is absolutely incredible. we need more people like you.
yes!!! fear of experiencing a moment of anger for fear of being labeled an angry black woman
I've watched this so many times
My mind is BLOWN! As a gay, black woman... This had me in TEARS! I just discovered it and have watched it about 9 times already, sent it to all the folks I know in my phone and most of them are white. Thank you Porsha!
Found my way back to this beautiful gem.🥰🥰🥰
LOVED IT!!! THAT WAS REALLY GOOD.
