I generally welcome a good discussion but please understand if I feel the vibe of this thread isn't 'opposition friendly' if you will. lol
Also I never said anything about her poem being wrong as artistic expression is objective so there is no wrong or right in this instance.

I understand.
But I want you to understand that there is nothing 'wrong' with what this lil' sista has written. There is also no sense in speculating what might happen if her white counterpart did something simiilar. There would be no need for that to happen, since there is no accurate comparison, in her ancestry, to what we experience in America.
