More From Nikki Giovanni

By explaining the difference between segregation and separation. segregation is that which is forced upon an inferior by a superior. separation is done voluntarily by two equals. if i have children and they live in my house, i care for them, they're dependent upon me. and their dependence upon me puts me in a position to regulate their lives, control their lives, tell them where to go, where they can't go. that's a form of segregation.
Children Two Differences
Today's children are living a childhood of firsts. they are the first daycare generation; the first truly multicultural generation; the first generation to grow up in the electronic bubble, the environment defined by computers and new forms of television; the first post-sexual revolution generation; the first generation for which nature is more abstraction than reality; the first generation to grow up in new kinds of dispersed, deconcentrated cities, not quite urban, rural, or suburban.

"don't believe me, don't believe yourself, and don't believe anybody else." don't believe me, because what i say is only truth for me. don't believe yourself, because most of the time what you tell yourself is only truth for you - especially when you tell yourself that you're not good enough, you're not intelligent enough, you're not beautiful enough - when you reject yourself before anybody else can reject you. and don't believe anybody else, because what they say is only truth for them.
Beautiful Believe Intelligent
We reject segregation even more militantly than you say you do! we want separation, which is not the same! the honorable elijah muhammad teaches us that segregation is when your life and liberty are controlled, regulated, by someone else. to segregate means to control. segregation is that which is forced upon inferiors by superiors. but separation is that which is done voluntarily, by two equals - for the good of both!
Mean Two Liberty
Trump, no matter what anybody thinks of him, is interesting. and trump, no matter what anybody thinks of him, is funny. trump, no matter what anybody thinks of him, is different. trump, no matter what anybody thinks of him, is drama. trump, no matter what anybody thinks of him, is unpredictable. all of that means, you can't miss it.
Drama Mean Thinking
White people scare the crap out of me. i have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord, never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and i've never heard a black person say, 'we're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!'
