I didn't know anything about Nikki Giovanni until the VaTech tragedy, but she is clearly a treasure (and I'm glad she has tenure so she can speak her mind!)

13. Nikki straddled two generations -- like a lot of boomer artists did. |
|
Rosa was her friend but so were a lot of younger poets like Alta and Alice Walker.
But, no one is like Nikki, whenever they were born. lol

Can't see it or hear it, but it's my newest girlfriend's post, so I'm proving my love and worthiness by a K&R.
What took you so long to find your way to DU, baby?
MM-MM-MMM.

She says, she was at the Birmingham service which was after the DC memorial. And she said, "did you see that crazy Condeleeza Rice bitch -- she knew one of the girls killed at the 16th Street Church in the bombing and then, she goes and sucks up to George Bush?! That just made me crazy."
And she says, when Rice went up to the coffin to show her oh, so touched reaction, Nikki says -- and she says you can see it for yourself because they show it sometimes, that she saw the coffin move away about this much.
As if Rosa was saying, (taking the posture of Rosa signaling from the coffin) "Not you, baby, not you."

20. I didn't know that she knew one of the girls. |

For freak's sake, it could have been Condi herself killed that day.
Didn't everyone have to be at least a little lacking in empathy or a full-blown sociopath to work for BushCo?

But do we have any proof. It could be one more Condi lie.
