I listened to a replay on the radio, and wasn't impressed. It was merely a collection of platitudes strung together in reference to her own experience. I though it was incredibly self absorbed, and immature for the moment. And it went on and on and on and on forever.
Here story is admirable but I wasn't impressed.

I could be wrong, but I seriously doubt if she is going to lose any sleep because you were not impressed. My guess is that you are a bit jealous and your politics lean far right so you convinced yourself that anyone involved in Biden’s inauguration was not impressive. Any fair minded person could see this young queen was phenomenal!!!!!
"Black girl majic," "queen. " Yes, there are still racists in our society. WOW

Using the term “Black Girl Magic” and “Queen” means that I think White people are inferior? Really?
⭐️ Slayyyy ⭐️
Trumpies need to stay in their ?p l a c e ?♂️
It ain't 2016 anymore.
Well tell us what you REALLY mean? Maybe we do need some more reprogramming or deprogramming.

Saw that last night. She was dynamite! As a middle aged guy I was so impressed with with her poise and confidence. At that age all I could do was run around in circles.

Cancel culture at its finest. Someone has something negative to say about a black person (a mere opinion) and that person immediately is labeled a racist. Did it occur to you that maybe the OP maybe simply was not impressed with her and it had nothing to do with skin color? Is someone allowed to do that or are all blacks above criticism?

What are you smoking? Go back, reread this thread and post a comment that makes sense.
I was not impressed either. Her comment about being a skinny black girl was odd. What if it was a fat white boy saying that about himself at a trump inauguration? He would have been run out of the country by now. She is a woman, not a girl. Mentioning that she is skinny is just strange.

Maybe there are posts that have been deleted but I see you praising her, others saying meh and then someone calling the meh posters racist.
If it makes you feel any better, I think Maya Angelou is incredibly overrated and her praise and acclaim is wildly disconnected with her underwhelming talent. Before you call me a racist, I not only have read "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" but I also own a copy of it. Mediocrity is mediocrity and it comes in all stripes and colors.

The poster was calling the OP, who was praising Gorman, racist, dumb-dumb. Not those saying "meh".
Not surprised Angelou flew over your head.
The turn that this thread took is entirely unfortunate but not at all unpredictable.
Who?

I’m sorry, anyone who says she is not extremely impressive has is crazy. This young lady would be impressive if she was 43 years old but to be 23 makes her overly impressive!!
Cringe

Interesting. How would you compare the quality of her speaking and poem to a Donald Trump speech?
