I think folks are scared that a 7 year old knows the unpretty version of history and that she is using her enlightenment and talent to enlighten others.


HK, you really ARE going there.

Well. The plot thickens.

You're not showing any signs of intelligence, when all you can do is accuse and name-call. I don't really see you having anything valuable to add to the conversation. Until then, you can "stfu".

And calling the poem racist, without providing proof that it is racist is not accusatory and name-calling?

Don't get mad, because your card got pulled. LOL!!!!

Ok...then answer this...if the poem is not at all racist, why is it "Controversial"?

I think discussing race and being racist are two different things. I think the poem is controversial because it discusses race.

The answer has been provided in above responses...

to break it down.....its controversial b/c people were not expected a 7 yo girl to have such an accurate accounting of history and fact....that made them nervous
