Inaugural Poet Amanda Gorman Discusses Her Powerful Message | NBC Nightly News
STiL TheOne has a poetry channel and her stuff is good
wow wow amazing ðŸ‘ÂÂðŸ‘ÂÂ
The face of racism in 2021 sorry folks I had to throw it out there little girl sounds racist
So foolish
AND JUST THINK ðŸ¤â€Â! SHE WAS SURROUNDED BY VERY POWERFUL MEN & WOMEN…
haley was up at the shops today working 50 million different jobs as different people the world population of females is very low
I could have done without it. Tuned out immediately. Idc!
No more white privilege!😀😀😀
#AmandaGorman, I could listen to her all day!!! She has a twin….#HarvardGrad so amazing
A future President
Election was stolen !!! DemocRats & Biden are traitors and Chinese Communist Party’ dogs
This just illustrates the insincerity of the Democratic party. She is not an atypical daughter of an inner city low income single mother. Somehow she managed to go to a private school in Santa Monica with tuition fees of $34K to $42K pa. How are poor kids, regardless of their ethnicity, supposed to afford an education like that in her vision of the New World? It would have meant more if they found someone who went to a State School in the Projects.
I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness; I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too. I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more.
( Anne Frank murdererd by Nazis 1944)

It's beautiful to see her not give up. Never give up! Stay strong everyone.
The American Poet/Black Woman :
"Again,I rise…"
Thank you for your brilliance and saying the words that we ALL need to hear! So eloquently stated. Now I have the words to express to all my coworkers that truly do not understand the harm and devolution of Trump presidency without just sounding like a "democrat."
NBc news great
Great interview ur special 👠a gem 💎
Wow!! What can I say?? I think, EVERYONE, that Amanda Gorman might ONE DAY be our future President of the United States!! So proud of her!!!
Basically , Gorman's regurgitating James Brown's 1968 " Say it Loud , I'm Black I'm proud ." Yawn … Want Poetry ? Read Rimbaud's Illuminations , William Blake' s " Innocence & Experience " or John Ashbery's " Self-portrait in a Convex Mirror " . Gorman was ONLY there because she's Black and a Woman . She writes poems , she is NOT a poet .
The most powerful part of the interview was edited out of this yt clip.
Posted here, explaining that her words, after Jan6 carried the need to
reSanctify, rePurify this space which had been violated:

China is economically invading developing countries through neocolonialism.
In developing countries, economic collapse has occurred and economic refugees are occurring.
Many refugees have been generated by this refugee and the coup led by China.
This refugee is rushing to Europe and the United States.
The world must stop China's neocolonialism.
But Mr.Biden isn't trying to stop China's violence.
President Obama's globalization and China-focused policies, China strengthened its military and economic power and its political voice.
And in naval power, China has surpassed the United States.
Mr. Biden is trying to shift to a policy that emphasizes China.
It hasn't happened yet.

She is on her journey she just beginning to see her future in front of her she will be a great poet a great speaker and one day she might run for president one day I know her mom is so proud of her enjoy your journey
She made me cry OMG ðŸ˜ÂÂ
Hitler Hated ARTS especially writing, POETRY, etc; Yes, ( yet , Know this…) culture shall endure bullying, even bullets!! (Police Brutality, a knee at the Neck…!)
When THEY go low🦨, WE go high 💙.
And a message to TED CRUZ: “NO LIE CAN LIVE FOREVER “ !!
she is a natural speaker
Pelosi and Schumer could learn from her. They have been disrespectful of our future because they are capitalistic corporate owned sell outs that take big money. As a reminder from this Boomer that our founders were this age when they created our country. You better listen it you will go down in history as a trumper too!
I saw her, and I was thinking "she can't be over 17" she's a baby!
But she's a brilliant young woman and her poem was beautiful, it was breathtaking.
I’m black-I’m female, and I’m proud of it. 🌹
