Nov 3, 2008 - i watched this i in my classroom and i almost cried being a black girl i always thought we got a lot of racism just for being black but after she read it i really thought about how much 911 affected arabs i really hate it wen she said someone asked her if she knew the terroist just because her skin was the color of the hijackers does not mean that she was one man racism never goes away cant everybody realize that we are all here for a reason and it is not to kill someone else for their race

Nov 9, 2008 - Death is the worst curse inflicted on man by man. Injustice is worse than the worst of swears. When one speaks about them, no profanity is truer.

Nov 24, 2008 - A good indication that it wasn't going to be stand-up comedy would be in the title "Def Poetry"

wongkar Says:

Nov 25, 2008 - Israel belongs to the indigenous people of the land, not to the people who founded the israeli state which were european ashkenazi jews. History can't be unmade, but there will be no peace till the natives who were kicked out of their land have a state that recognizes them as well. Two state solution is the only way.
