"You say Gargantuan, I say 'Big as shit'." Yeesssss!!! This was the first time I ever heard of Kai Davis. It was a year after a went through a traumatic experience. This was where I discovered just how talented at writing I was, and because of this video, I've found a new happiness in my life.

"You know what I sound like? Like I've read a book before!" Damn, I have such a big "girl crush" on this young lady. Miss Davis, you put my high school & college experience into a beautiful, powerful poem. I love your work! (I'm feelin' "Black Girl" too!)

When she said "I will never equate stupidity with my melanin nor will i ever sacrifice my skin for the white man standing so never ask that i speak for anyone but me, represent anything that i dont stand for or fight for anything but what i believe in and if anyody EVER expects me to do anything but be myself, they got me fucked up" I felt that in my SOUL

One of my FAVORITE things about this poem is the DUAL dragging of both black and white people cause you get shit from both sides.

*applause* I feel you Kai, I feel you. Wow, four thumbs down, ok, let me guess... 1 former classmate who felt this was a personal attack, 1 jealous poet who can't pull off the same empassioned delivery and 1 neo-nazi's and 1 excited person who hit the wrong button on accident. :)

Words dont uch I relate to this poem!!! I was always in advanced classes through middle and high school, and I was often joked, by black kids, because I sounded "white" and I would always respond with I didnt know speaking as if I had an education changed my skin!

I don't get her point... does she want schools to dumb down their education system? "You say gargantuan, I say big as shit." Would you say "big as shit" in a job interview? Would you write that in an essay at a university?
