Tameka Foster Glover Raymond Addresses Plagiarism Accusations

TFGR can’t catch a break! After being outed for “borrowing” content for her essay on being a dark-skinned woman in America, Tameka went on a twitter rampage where she blasted the author who accused her of stealing her words:
The one quote that I found most interesting was:
“To steal ideas from one person is called PLAGAIRISM, to steal ideas from many is research.” ~ Unknown Ppl seek claim & fame by any means!
Someone please tell Tameka that to steal ideas at all is still STEALING! It’s really like a half-assed confession to say “yeah… I stole from you and several others but it was RESEARCH not plagairism…” *sigh* Just give the chick her credit and move on…
Meka also wrote a full explanation over at Global Grind where she gave the credit for her inspiration to several well-known Black authors including Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, Alex Haley, Susan Taylor, Khalil Gibran, Langston Hughes, Frederick Douglass and Zora Neale Hurston. She still failed to mention Aisha Curry but I guess her pride stands in the way. Stay tuned….

August 25, 2009 @ 3:59 amI support Tameka on this one. To be honest, there is nothing new under the sun. Curry does not have the patent on the “you pretty for a dark skinned girl” experience. Anyone is free to express their views and experiences with this issue.
Mrs. Curry should thank Tameka and Sandra for the fame that she is about to experience. I had not heard of her or her book prior to the post on Sandrarose.com. I will purchase her book thanks to Tameka and Sandra. : – )
