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 truly one of a kind.

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.

Today she might ask about the carbon /toxicity boot print of the elephant in the room, aka the military industrial complex.

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.

She sound funny for somebody from the town of North, South Carolina. That accent sounds weird

@omar505 Ай бұрын

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.
