Nov 4, 2011 - As an African and a member of generation x I am honored to say that I love you Amiri Baraka. I work for one of the biggest corporations in the world and the manager is a racist white who indirectly expresses his love for Hitlers ideology to the black workers. My generation is so ignorant to history to where it is impossible for them to identify white adversaries that seek to belittle them. Whites are the authors of evil and they know it... Like the elders use to say.They ain't got no soul!!!!!!

Dec 24, 2011 - "Who invented AIDS?" Yes, poets know the truth: invented. HIV does not cause AIDS, the tests do. See "House of Numbers" and "rethinkingAIDS". "Who made the money?" "Who told the lies?" Great poem.

Mar 31, 2012 - That's the hypocrisy of America, it is the main perpetrator of white supremacy and have committed numerous atrocities in the name of "freedom and democracy, yet turn around and point the finger and label other people as terror For centuries it has been perpetrating terrorism and calling it civilization and progress and even those who were once its victims have now become its accomplices. woe be unto them, day will become night eventually, because what goes up, must come down.

Apr 3, 2012 - i met amiri in 1991 when i was a student at lsu..i had only been writing poetry for a couple of years and i had wrote a poem about the first iraq war and got it published in the school newspaper. the day it came out amiri gave a poetry reading at my schoo, which a workshop followed. he told me he saw my poem and liked it. the main reason why i became a poet was this man. and i'm still writing after 23 years
