Maya Angelou speaks out for Obama

No..No, it's not going to work, no matter who speaks out for the Obamas. After saying " for the first time in my adult life, I'm proud of my country". Why it took so long for her to be proud of this country? I don't trust these two people..they play tricks. They stick with Pastor Wright for (20) years, who mastered their wedding, baptized their two girls, he's nothing but white American hater. The other day she went and said " don't vote because of he's good looking, don't vote because she's cute and said, I'm talking about me". We all know who she was refering to and we all know that Michelle is NOT that CUTE. Forget about the look, let's go to good hearts. We know Cindy McCain is involved in so many chariy and humantarian projects all around the world. She's been quietly helping poor and sick people for many years and we're impressed with her. We want a woman like Cindy lives in the White House.

That's right Susan, this country needs John McCain, of Keating Five fame, as President. We should just call him K-5. And, on top of that, we want a drug-addled, glassy-eyed, word-slurring beer heiress as First Lady. Did you see Cindy McCain speak at the Republican National Convention? What are you smoking, Suzie?

Susan you are so funny! LOL!!! Yeah, let's take a look at your Botox Bimbo Barbie McCain! Cindy McCain couldn't measure up to Michelle Obama on her best day. First of all...Michelle Obama is COMPLETELY SELF MADE. Worked her way through College and paid every cent back. Unlike Cindy McCain, who is the heiress to a BEER empire. Cindy McCain never worked a REAL job in her pathetic life. Michelle went back into the inner city of Chicago after college to help her community. Despite her impressive credentials, she sacrificed a lot to help the poor and under privileged. Michelle Obama is a REAL hard working woman that has experienced BOTH sides of the economic coin. Being broke in college isn't something she read about....She actually LIVED IT!! Can you say the same about Cindy McCain?!?! I DON'T THINK SO! So spare all of us the "Cindy helps the poor and sick" CRAP!!! Maybe if Botox Cindy and Grandpa McSAME would sacrifice a few of their 9 homes they own, to some of the homeless people in this country, your little rant would be more believable! EVERYONE KNOWS Michelle Obama represents ALL woman from ALL walks of life. Michelle Obama will make an EXCELLENT first lady, and SHE is who America wants in the White House!

Susan where do people with simple minds come derive? I thought that was a good question of you,since you obviously have a simple mind.

Anything to distract blacks from relevancy. The mess on Wall street dwarfs the ex-hustler's senile decisions and opinions. Ex-madam Angelou made her bed back in March and should go back and lie down in it. I don't care who she backs she has proven herself a phony. I wonder why the caged negro woman picked now to start singing.

Talk about affirmative action.

God bless Mother Maya Angelou's courage, beauty, wisdom and tenacity.

It isn't easy to go against the tide and speak one's own mind when you have an alternative opinion.

The differnce between Maya Angelou's support of Hillary Clinton and commentary by people like Tavis Smiley and Cornel West....is that Dr. Maya never once put Obama down. She did not criticize him--she complimented and praised his candidacy. But she also executed her right to support a different candidate--a woman like herself.

I can respect that and though I've supported Barack Obama from the minute he declared he was running...I have enormous respect for those who wanted Hillary Clinton.

WHAT I DON'T RESPECT are the ones who lied on and defiled Obama. The ones who tried to make Hillary look good by demonizing and hating on Barack and Michelle.

I lost a very dear friend, who I love very much, because of that dynamic. She basically proclaimed Obama the "Anti-Christ" and revealed to me (in my opinion) a hatred for Black men in general that I found very startling and disturbing---ESPECIALLY since my own critical comments about some black men seemed to be what had attracted her to me. And that was very tragic, because I felt so uncomfortable with this friend's position and constant emails viciously LYING on Obama that I had to break off that friendship.

It doesn't mean I don't love that person. I DO. But I just don't know what to say.

This situation with Mother Maya is different.

Maya Angelou was made "Official National Poet of the United States" by the CLINTONS--she was and is an extremely close friend of theirs. I can see how it would be hard to vote against personal friends who have been very good to you. I am loyal that way as well. Maya also never once attacked Obama or belittled those of us who supported him. She praised Obama.

Maya Angelou is a very old woman who has fought tremendous odds to succeed in this very racist nation as a BLACK woman.

Many times her enemies were not just White Men...but Black Men as well. It's absurd the way so many people pretend that Black men are some "supportive backbone" towards Black women such as Maya in the same way that we, as women, have always been supportive and literally carried Black men on our backs for centuries only to be disrespected and DISCARDED when the Black man..."Got over."

For that reason, I can certainly understand why an old woman like Maya wanted to see a WOMAN in the White House before she died--even if that woman is, in my opinion, a remnant of Miss Anne.

Please realize that I have been a tireless and passionate supporter of Barack Obama and that I don't even see Obama as "black". I see him as another race--a mixed race son.

But I love him and BELIEVE in him and CLAIM the African part of him...because...what he has stood for greatly moves me.

I also support him because of Michelle--because she IS black and because by choosing her, he has given all of us African people a POSITIVE IMAGE for black children and mixed children. Something noble, beautiful, charismatic and purposeful.

I will always, always love and be loyal to Barack Obama because of that.

Now our beautiful mother, Maya Angelou, is supporting him as well. That is wonderful...and please GET REAL...

Mother Maya is an elder. She has been an architect and backbone of Black WORLD society for nearly a century. Her loyalty and nurturing of Black WORLD society has been like few others. She has paid her dues, and as an ELDER, she has the right to say, believe or support whatever she wishes.

I said this same thing about Bill Cosby a while back.

I don't agree with his WAY of saying many things...but he IS an elder. AND and he HAS supported the black community and been in collusion with it all his life (unlike some other sell-outs). We must respect the fact that he has lived long enough and earned the right to DOLE OUT LOVE in whatever means he knows to do it.

Many people hate me for the same reasons. I am outspoken, blunt and I have many views that to "Black Americans" seem "backwards"---but it is not the Mother's job to be RIGHT or to be PERFECT. It is the mother's job to be...a mother. To teach what she knows and believes and to do it with authority. Otherwise, she is not competent as a mother.

OK, I'm tired now.

tima usrah.

You all still have not got the real quote even after all these months Michelle said "this is the first time I am really proud of ....they've intentionally left out the word really.It totally changes that quote. It will take some searching but you can find it. Unless you just want to believe the smear.

So what if she was never proud to be American before. I am sure her great grand parents did even have a chance to think the word proud alongside America. If anything she is truthful and everybody knows it.

Kola you should be tired. That was quite a pouring. There's love in it and that heals. I, too, like so many millions, have been with "O" from the gate and with more than just my mouth. Mother Maya should be a beacon of reason and healing to all the terrible, internal, personal conflicts arisen and exposed from that wretched primary. We won because we must, but tears creep down my face this moment for the cost; tears for my people. Mother Maya, wise one, do I still have a people? As if your life's work isn't reason enough, yours, poor dear Ms. Stephanie's, John Lewis' and so many others, I'll not hear a word against you for your courage, wisdom and example facing this conflict. Help us heal Mother Maya.

Thank you Kola Boof and Allen!

My Thank you goes to Bob LaBlah...

I love Maya Angelou, a "Phenomenal Woman" indeed. While I was greatly disappointed that she did not support Senator Obama during the primaries, I am equally thrilled that she is now speaking out on his behalf. I agree with Kola Boof: "Mother Maya" is the quintessential portrait of elder grace, worthy of MUCH respect.

kola: what transparent feces you have posted herein shame!!!! ab see: “ON THE REAL KOLA BOOF: HOAXES, HYPOCRISIES, AND OBAMA NAZIS” now at: ELOQUENT FURY http://www.geocities.com/ambwww/kolabs.htm

Ms. Banks, I have read your excellent column about this character named Kola Boof and am truly happy and massively relieved that you've seen the light and have chosen to speak up about it. I've always enjoyed visiting your website and reading your eloquent, intelligent essays, but I have to be honest in saying that I was always confused and even disturbed by the praise and trust you gave this person. This presidential race was the catalyst for you, but it has been well-understood by many people for years that "Kola Boof" is extremely foul-mouthed, racist, vicious, contradictory, and thus insane, Obama or no Obama. For literally years, she's frequented dozens of blogs and message boards around the internet spewing vile, malicious, racially-charged content and creating uneccessary drama and hurting people (who don't agree with her, like you chose not to). She has dozens and dozens, if not hundreds and hundreds, of different identities that are all similar to her formatting style and outspoken malice (Purl Gurl, anyone?). It's clear that she even responds to her own articles. She may be a good novelist, but she's no good actress. There is about as much proof of her Sudanese/Eqyptian origin as there are about the supposed fatwa placed on her head. Her claims of being Bin Laden's lover & a movie star in the mid-East were completely debunked. All news articles about her are from media outlets that no one's heard of. Rumors persist that like all of the screenhandles, "Kola Boof" doesn't actually exist, either. Just some loser with a mundane background holed up behind a keyboard all day and night. That's so pathetic if she feels like such a non-entity that she has to live through made-up people, and be a troll to make others feel as miserable as she does. I have no idea why Keith Boykin insists on indulging this person and giving her any legitimacy. Maybe it's because she paints a romantic picture of Africa whilst telling an epic sob story of murdered parents, international adoption, and love for blackness (yeah right). "Kola Boof" absolutely despises black men. That has always come through loud and clear no matter what screen name, race, and profession she choses to be.

Ms. Alicia Banks,

Everything I printed in my above statment is true and correct.

But the slanderous hateful article you concocted about me is NOT TRUTHFUL, it is not correct.

I am glad that I ended our friendship over your constant emails admonishing me not to support Barack Obama.

I am also sorry that I could not be "lesbian" for you, my sister.

I love you from the bottom of my heart--as my sister. I support you 100% as my sister, because I believed in your art; your voice and your struggle--I will always support ANY sister who has something to say. But I am "Strictly Dickly" and that's just the way it is.

Again, dear sister. I am sorry that I couldn't be "lesbian" for you--sorry you've spent so much time attempting to lie on me and MOW ME DOWN---but I am "strictly dickly."

I won't be back to respond to any other bullshit you will undoubtably post...being the BRUTE wilderbeast you are, I'm certain you'll blow a gasket...but I will leave you with this bit of truth:

THERE IS A GOD.

Yes, there is a GOD.

And THAT GOD knows that I was a sincere, loyal and committed friend to you, Alicia Banks.

THAT GOD knows that I have done nothing wrong to you---but disagree with your hatred for Barack Obama (*still have your emails).

THAT GOD knows that I am more powerful than you are (as evidenced by your b.s. Anti-Christ Kola Boof propoganda)...and THAT GOD knows...

The Heart of BOTH of us.

From my heart--I PITY you.

And as far as this propganda from "LUCKY" (who I am convinced is "Purl Girl")...and as far as the LIE that Keith Boykin is some "supporter" and "friend" of Kola Boof...I have very good reason from the F.B.I. to doubt that anyone in NYC is Kola Boof's friend, admirer, etc. It's all a Charade, darling. Really.

But let me tell you about who KOLA BOOF is--and please, make no mistake--NO ONE but Naima Bint Harith will ever be able to DEFINE Kola Boof.

I am Kola Boof...I am my own daughter. I am what my father named me. Naima, the one who is victorious; the one who is praying. That is who I am.

Two years ago, I was out dining with the father of my children when a "Kola-hater" walked up and through a glass of wine in my face.

Immediately, I licked my lips and said to Simon: "Oh, scrumptious...I think I'll have a bottle of that."

So you know...

There's a name for women like Alicia and Lucky...not that I'd use it outside of a kennel.

And to ANY and EVERYONE who advance lies about me; grand "hoax" theories and whatever else...get on your knees and ask GOD if I give a damn.

Yes, I said it--get on your knees and ask GOD if I give a damn.

And do be prepared that you might not get back up.

And when that day comes that you believe you have enough ass to get on stage on with "mama"---and that you fancy yourself ready to WHOOP Miss Kola's ass...that is the day that you should GET IN LINE with all others who've come before me.

I guarantee that my love will kill you.

None of you have been through what I've been through and lived to tell.

But did I ever hold it against your weak boring asses? Have I ever come to the dinner party and failed to look at you with anything but love? Have I once been coarse or VAGUE?

Literally, there are eyes in the back of my wig.

I've had an extraodinarily difficult life.

Upon seeing me in person people often remark that to be so young, I sound so old.

My powers are quite earned. You can't "fake" being me. What an unimaginative lout you are to post such drivel!

All that I can promise you is that you have my love...and you have my sympathy. I mean that sincerely. I DO love you.

But sad is the fool who PAID TOO MUCH...for what he got. And when you take on the mantle of "destroying Kola" it really does become TAXING.

Because in attempting to silence or slander me...no matter what you say, write down or believe...

you always leave out the fact that GOD loves me.

Yes.

SO...I WON'T BE BACK TO RESPOND TO ANY FURTHER b.s. you might post.

As always, "tima usrah" (through fire comes the family).

GOD bless you...and what's more, my enemies...

GOD HELP you.

kola again: now you gaybash too???? more hypocrisy!!! shame!!! you continue to blatantly lie you and god know that i have been in love with a real queen since i met you i have never solicited you sexually in any way you are not my type and even you know that i am hopelessly monogamous just as your lies about osama bin laden i do not believe that you ever even met him and bet you are not his type either and i never asked you not to vote for obama the whole world sees you as the lying global whore that you are... fyi ab alicibanks.blogspot.com

Susan you are so stupid...

Yeah, you are proud of your country because your kind has been running it forever. But now it's time for a CHANGE.....

LOL, you won't be back, Boof, because the truth hurts, doesn't it? And you know that the longer you stick around in this topic, the more that your fallacies will be exposed, so it's in your best interest to flee. It never fails: bullies always are the biggest cowards. I would pity you for your mental disorders, but I don't feel like wasting energy. What's pitiful is that had you come into the public spotlight legitimately, wihtout all of the irrational lies and the mean-spirtedness, you might just be a popular, highly-honored author today on the level of Angelou or Walker. But no, you're just one excruciating internet joke.

1)You are truly a joke! It's be documented that that wine-throwing incident actually happened to pop novelist JACKIE COLLINS YEARS ago. You're such a pathetic fake that you're plagirzing from other authors' lives. Have you plagirized their fiction, too???? Things that make you go HMMMMM.... I wouldn't be surprised, I think someone should look into it. 2)If you don't give a damn about the " grand hoax theories" why are you in here writing book-long post about it? Someone who didn't give a damn wouldn't respond at all. Me thinks you protest too much. 3)How in the world do you know I'm a female, male, or trans? Why, because you feel a man is too weak and dumb to call you out? But don't give in and respond to any of this, now, you "WON'T BE BACK", LOL. Though one of your other identites might, LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL.

Thanks, Susan, for your post. It is unfortunately all too emblematic of the largest part of White America. A very astute friend of mine pointed out to me that Whites take excessive pride in America because they see it as THEIR country. To criticize it is like criticizing someone's mother. White folks take that as a serious affront. Michelle Obama's comment revealed just how deep the rift runs between the races. Black folk certainly understood it and White intellectuals could appreciate it. But the average White ran back across the color line to defend THEIR country. I think at the heart of the matter White people truthfully do see themselves as the superior race though most of them will not say this out loud. I pray that they will understand this country does not belong to them but to us all-the UNITED States of America-the unity does not refer simply to the land but ideally to its people as well.

lucky: thanks!... peace, ab

You're welcome, Ms. Banks. I'm sorry that this serpent slithered into your life and sucked energy from it, but I know that you're a very strong person and it'll take more than pure evil to keep you down permanently. I'll continue to savor your essays of fierce truth (in this unjust, delusional world, they're very appreciated) and look forward to more beautiful pictures of you and your locs. :)

Ms. Alicia Mae Stanks you do not have to come up for air on my account but I do have to thank you for the comments you made about this ranting and raving fool of a woman. I have never met her personally but I do feel she is more of a loose cannon. She is on the same scale as you and jinx who supported you here.

I have nothing bad to say about Maya Angelou. Maya Angelou supported one Democratic candidate in the primary and now supports the nominee of the Democratic Party. Things like that happen after after primary. For some unfathomable reason, however, some clowns think this Democratic primary should be different and the Republicans are fanning that flame with all their might. As for susan, thanks for the misqote, but, be honest. What Michelle did or did not say has less than zero to do with your vote. You would not vote for Obama even if he were married to Betsy Ross.

Hello, as you may already noted I am newbie here. Hope to get any help from you if I will have any quesitons. Thanks and good luck everyone! ;)
