Poem by Maya Angelou

[Avenger]

You are in love with Tommy,
Because his last name is Hilfiger,
But behind closed doors, Tommy,
Is calling you a nigger,

But you could care less,
Because you have been taught to dress to impress,
If I ask you about your true history,
You would have to look on the back of your jeans and Guess,

You come up in the club wearing Versace,
Clothes made by a homosexual male,
So even when you say you are straight,
It is very hard to tell,

And for footwear, you wear Timberlands,
Even under the sun,
That same tree that's the symbol for them,
Could have been the same one your ancestors were hung from,

I cannot forget Nautica,
When was the last memory you have of ships,
Coming to North America in shackles,
Being beaten over the back with whips,

And to my beautiful black queens,
Whose creative womb has become barren,
I am confused because your face says Nefertiti,
But your sweater reads Donna Karen,

When was the last time you saw Liz Claiborne,
Conversing with black women,
But as soon as her name is printed on a purse,
To Macy's you quickly go, running,

Ralph Lauren doesn't even look at black men,
Unless they are driving him around town,
But as soon as that slave master appears on the back of a horse,
You put whatever you have picked up down,

My people reclaim your status in this world and in your life,
F.U.B.U. in case you didn't know, stands for (For Us By Us),
Buying black will someday suffice,
Do you know who owns Timberland fashion?

Well, Timberland is owned by the president of the KKK,
Surprised? Do not be.
Read more books black people,
Always hope for the best and prepare for the worst,

You may not get what you pay for,
But you'll surely pay for what you get.

~ Maya Angelou

Comments: A notice on Maya Angelou's Website reads as follows:
Please be aware that Dr. Maya Angelou has absolutely no affiliation
with the "poem" entitled Clothes that is circulating the Internet.
In an interview with the Detroit Free Press, a representative of Maya
Angelou's speakers' agency said, "It is not her work. She is aware of
it, and is very disappointed."
Indeed, no one who a) appreciates good poetry or b) is at all familiar
with the marvelous poetry of Maya Angelou could possibly mistake the
horrendous examples above for her work.

You stupid fuck, the poem is a hoax.
--
"Hate Week is officially celebrated from April 4th to April 10th. The
events during that time include waxwork displays, military parades,
speeches and lectures. New slogans are also coined and new songs are
written. The theme of the Hate Week is called the Hate Song. It is
mentioned that a unit from the Fiction Department was assigned to make
atrocity pamphlets (falsified reports of atrocities committed by
Oceania's enemies against her) designed to stimulate Oceania's populace
further into enraged frenzy against all enemies. The aggregate effect
of Hate Week thus is to excite the populace to such a point that they
"would unquestionably have torn to pieces" if given the opportunity."

You're the stupid fuck. Negroes are known to have an anti jewish bias.
Remember Hymietown? Remember Sharpton and his anti jew activities in
Haarlem? Remember Yankel Rosenbaum? Knifed to death because he was wearing a
yarmulke. Another guy was killed too, an non jew, just because they thought
he was a jew! Angelou is the only poet who has ever recited a poem at a
President's inauguration. Hillary has called Dick Morris, a jew,a dirty
jew.She has also kissed Arafat's ass. You see any connexion here?

Not a hoax.

This is untrue.
He said that he didn't mean it as an insult, but apologized anyway.
He never said he was trying to say anything else.
