    Her voice and her message are as direct as they are poetic. Eartha was one of the absolute greatest humans in recent times.

    She was an independent woman focused on her daughter and her career, in that order. She did not enjoy frivolous conversation, she wanted to talk about real world problems. Shame on the Johnson administration.

    I disagree with her because it ignores what the Soviet Union was doing in the world, but I appreciate the fact that she had the guts to say it. And what Johnson did to her should scare everyone.

    My uncle Paul was from some small town in South Carolina and he sounded very similar. Listen to old clips of Elijah Muhammad speaking, again it sounds very similar. Watch British television for a while, I think you’ll begin to hear the similarities between their accents and our southern accents. When I hear for instance Blanche Devereaux from The Golden Girls I hear traces of England.

    And people still glorify First Lady and former president, ignoring their clearly misuse of power. It was supposed to be a party of "Discussion"
