There is an old Skool saying, "words are like bullets"
So, shooting with words, is using the words as bullets.
There is term used sometimes "a cutting glance". So, you are giving a look at someone like you want to cut them, harm them.

And, you have to think about the time, it was published in 1978 (And Still I rise) during the Black Empowerment era (Afros, etc).
It was written in free verse. So that is the reason why  the rhyme scheme is diff. But, the imagery is there. Especially for those who had to live during the Civil Rights era.

Old Skool?

That poem stunk in 1978 just as it stinks now.

93% of black people voted for Obama. Nothing to do with his skin colour  ::)

I'd never heard of her before today, but her poems had less relevance here I guess.

That's the worst fucking poem I've ever read.

Is that seriously something people consider good?

For a Hebrew, yes.

For pure talent: Cosby.  Amazing comedian.  He could tell me about waiting in a checkout line and put me in stitches.  I didn't like his scripted show but when he's live he's damn live.  He's right there, seamlessly.  So much so you forget he's performing, he's so smooth.  For my money, even the other greats look like they're just calculating when to proceed with their programed material.  For timing and audience awareness, he's second to none.

You only asked for one, ya greedy bastard!  

I think that you think that Bill Cosby is an oreo because his material isn't about race, like so many other black comedians, and you think I picked him to be a wise ass.  Maybe not, wtf do I know.  I mentioned him because he's the most talented comedian I've ever seen.  I think Carlin's later material was better because it had way more straight balls than Cosby's.  Martin, Kaufman, maybe Gottfried were bolder and pushed the envelope without getting political.  Moderns like CK and Burr are very watchable but formulaic, and lack Cosby's charm.  Connoly is the nearest parallel I can draw for someone who lends a conversational tone to performance but Cosby is in a league of his own when it comes to holding the room in his hands.

I don't particularly admire anyone from the rights movement.  I'll stop short of trashing a recently dead woman, especially since I don't know anything about her life's work, but I think a lot of them were simply self serving.  I admire the courage of a lot of unnamed people who fought a fucked up system, but the rhetoric of the movement ought to have changed with the movement's progress.  It didn't, and still hasn't, which makes it antiquated and divisive in 2014.  My understanding is that the whole point was to end segregation.  You've read Malcolm's book.  What conclusion did he come to?

So lose the chip.  It's as silly on you as on the chippy white guys that you come here to battle. When's the last time you had a laugh here?  You gotta find a way to let dickheads be dickheads when there are no consequences, like here.  Your ego doesn't always have to be avenged.  Try it, it's liberating.  

Forgive the rant but what, finally, is the point if you're not having any fun?
