Who Is Maya Angelou, Really ?

I don't mean any harm, in what I'm about to say. It's on my mind though. Some will view this as a chauvinistic remark, but I don't think it is. I'm wondering is this one of those things. We just don't talk about, in front of mixed company. Maya Angelou seems to have significant relationships, with a number of very powerful Black women. I wasn't aware of the closeness between Maya Angelou, and Coretta Scott King until the funeral. I see nothing wrong with sista's watching each others backs. In fact I think that is a good thing. The problem I have is this. The common thread I have noticed in these relationships, is nobody has a man. In my opinion, that is largely the problem in the Black community. We refuse to accept and adhere, to the natural order of things. We want to accomplish equality, without our men rising to the occasion. No matter how succcessful our women become. Until our Black men become the leaders, they are called to be. As a people we will fall short. I don't want the message to young women to be, "you don't need a man". Ms. Angelou is an inspiring, and prolific writer. Her books and poems have profound influence on many people. Maybe she has played well the hand she was dealt. But a voice for the masses, I don't know.
