Freedom of Speech & Respect are two equal things

Today one of my favorite black celebrity gossip blogs made an interesting post discussing statements that Maya Angelou made regarding her support for Hilary Clinton.

They filed the post under one of there "Ho Sit Down" labels.

Personally I consider that post to be one of the most disrespectful ones thus far. Maya Angelou is a big name for the black community and represents a strong genre of our people that deserve more respect then any group of people in the history of the America's. I know I took it way far but honestly filing her statement under a "Ho Sit Down" catergory isn't acceptable and they should take it down.

And may it please be pointed out that she said nothing deragotory or resentful against any other opponent in the presidential campagin. Bossip is taking their support for one candidate a tad to the extreme and honestly it's alittle scary.

Anyways I think it would be a lot more beneficial to be supportive of all the support this campaign is receiving regardless of personal political preference.

people are so disrespectful. it aint like its KEKE from down the street sayin she support hillary cause she got her manz out of jail. this is one of the most intelligent black woman in america. her opinions are to be valued. or at least entertained. damn people are ignorant.

and why the hell is everyone goin on her because she black and she dont support a black candidate i mean damn are we voting because the color of our skin? cause if so the country is just going to spiral further and further out of conrol. REAL TALK (and yes you can trust it).
