Freepers have nothing good to say about Maya Angelou.

[ArnoldLayne]

As a matter of fact many are very happy that she passed away, it's sickening such hate.

[Brickbat]

1. Maya Angelou? That's some extra-strength hatin' right there.

[randys1]

2. Ignorant little fucking assholes

[ArnoldLayne]

16. They really are that is so sad

[Lars39]

3. They're toxic...on a happier note there are billboards

in IL and part of Indiana that are honoring her life.

[hlthe2b]

4. I guess she committed the triple sin of being a Democrat, a woman, and African American.

And this crap is continually infiltrating Discussionist. Any wonder why so many Duers want nothing to do with that site?

[kelliekat44]

17. Intelligent, talented, and unafraid! nt

[mwrguy]

5. They should love that she shot at a burglar

[ArnoldLayne]

8. She shot at a Burglar never heard about that

[mwrguy]

14. Right through her front door

[lpbk2713]

6. Black, female and intelligent.

Three strikes and she's out as far as those mouth breathers are concerned.

[upaloopa]

7. But Maya would call freepers fellow human beings

deserving of her respect and she would try to educate them.

[LongTomH]

15. Thank you!

[monmouth3]

9. They're such idiots, they couldn't understand why she was such an acclaimed poet but her

stuff didn't rhyme. Honest to God, couldn't make it up...

[ArnoldLayne]

10. I noticed that the fact some of her poems didn't

rhyme said she wasn't very smart.

[alp227]

11. But they're pretty sane compared to Stormfronters.

Freepers only wish TOS allowed them to say what they REALLY want to call Maya Angelou!

[AverageJoe90]

12. No damn surprise there. Fuckin' Teabagging assholes.

[Iggo]

13. She's black.

Duh.

[Raine]

18. Suprise, suprise, suprise

NOT! Why would it be otherwise, I live for the day they suprise me with anything other than the obvious. Whatever!

[maced666]

19. Well, as long as you don't consider all these Christian sites freepers -

They all seem to simply adore her -

I was able to dig deeper into a couple of these, and found a negative post here or there, but for the most part she is held in high regard and quoted often as she spoke frequently about her Christianity, faith and God. There does appear to be some poem attributed to her she did not author but she did not hide her Christian faith by any means.
