Is the heavy-set lady in the video Boni Boyer?

Unfortunately, she died before it was made I think.

She died in 1996, video is from 1994 - but it isn't her.

JDINTERACTIVE said:

I don't think so. "TMBGITW" came out in '94 and Boni didn't die until '96.

Political correctess is a tool of intellectual opression, designed to cheapen and demoralise the people it claims it protects. This illusion gifts sick words with new powers. You mean 'the fat bitch'.

Whatever...so it was her?

okaypimpn said:

It don't think it was her, because the woman in the video looks nothing like Boni (at least to me).

Gee, I wish we all could be as "witty and poltically correct" as you are. Nothing butpeace and love on this thread..... It's just EVERYWHERE.

Dear, you're the one who seems to have her knickers in a twist.I never said I was witty and I'm certainly not politically correct.

That wasn't her. Boni was darker in color than the lady in the video, if memory serves me right.

i was told the fat bird in the vid was an old school teacher.
be nice 23.u don't know she was a bitch she may be a nice lady..all be it fat.

Actually the school teacher was the older woman towards the end (whose name escapes me). Prince raised alot of money for her teaching program through one of his charities back in the day.I think she's based in Chicago if that helps..

if my head spins and i vomit on you.....

PhilG said:

yes it is based right here in chicago on 52nd in state street. if my memory is correct the school is a magnet school called "walter Beasley". i wanted my kids to go there 'cause it's a really good school but it's too far.

the school teacher was also on the news many years ago. they had her and some really young students rattling off definitions to complicated words and solving complex math word problems off the top of their heads to show what they learned.

Marva Collins.

I've yet to see this video AGAIN...where can I find it?!!! I wish they'd play it now once more as much as they did back in the day...
