IWPS Finals 2014 - Porsha O. "Angry Black Woman" 

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.

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

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

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😙

Yes

OMG yasss girl 😩😩😩

Jaysynj

Amir Khadar is that man or woman?

@@yogdrogxon687 you already know that she's a woman🙄

Hello brother.

@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

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

Yes

THIS THIS THIS!!

+AmbleHeart bye

+AmbleHeart don't watch it then, stupid

+AmbleHeart don't watch it

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

lol

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...

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

Me too girl.

Me tooooo

LAWDY LAWDY LAWDY !!!!

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.

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

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

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 😂

+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.

Me too LMAOO

@@akiraelai8053 it made me 😭

Me tooooooo 😞😥

Honestly

most humans are.

Mag Wumps Lol ok I hope you find something to be happy about ❤️
