  • What peop[le like her do not realize is that if the Russians had ever taken over people like her would have been the first to have been executed, because they could not be trusted because they had committed treason agains their native country.

    Russia only did this in EVERY nation they overwhelmed after WW II.

    I believe they called those Ms. Davis' ilk "useful idiots".

  • She's incredible <3

  • You can't hold up a paper that represents 1 exception and try to convert it into a rule...break that down Ms. Davis

  • Свобода Анджеле Дэвис!!! ХD

  • she's a LOON. big viking stomp to her ugly face by a hot blonde helgagaard tea party woman.

    marxism the false construct

  • big gulp by the interviewer @ 10:55 haha

  • #2: Even during the 60's and 70's many of you weren't even a sperm cell. So you still don't know jack about what many of us who were there had to go through. Oue nations Laws have evolved to the point that to even breath about commiting racist acts against someone it would me met swiftly if not with the justice sysytem, the media would pick it up. But what has been the thanks of many of our young black men and women? More entitlements and fatherless families and educational failures!

  • @rsanch8695 How is that blind support fort the Democratic Party working out for you?

    From where I sit it looks like the rich white elites in the Democratic Party have created a new slave / plantation system. But that's okay, I',m sure they REALLY appreciatae the votes you give them every election.

  • Let me tell all you hatin black folks on this blog who spout your tirade against other people calling them devils. #1; None of you were ever slaves ever seen a slave except in books and movies. Some of you may be able to trace your ancestry to slaves But the bottom line is that you don't even have a dog in the fight. All the culprits of slavery are fartin' dust right now along with the ones who truly experienced slavery. So as far as i'm conernced your ranting is irrelevant. !

  • @DeadCee

    Look! it's one thing to be articulate, it's another thing to be factual. Ms. Davis was and to some degree still retains some of her beauty, but she also still retains alot of the old baggage that alot of our dinosaur black leaders retain and that's fighting the ghost of the 60's and 70's. I grew up during those times, And i will be the first to tell you how rough it was and racism was at it's zenith. But we have turned the corner, but now our enemy is what we see in the mirror!

  • SISTA ANGELA!!!

  • those devils should've started it.

  • @fullyfunked right they were killing little black girls and pregnant women......time to fight back. wtf

  • @10:35,

    This deindustrialization was engendered by Communists, see Karl Marx "On the Question of Free Trade." Marx wanted the workers of wealthy nations to lose their jobs overseas because the job losses would convince them to despise the bourgeoisie and lead a workers' revolt for global communist revolution.

  • snaps for Angela Davis. 

  • I think she made sense. why do you devils want to see her die. I mean you saying that as if she killed someone in your family

  • @jumpingonglass,

    She's been linked to murders in Europe and America although she has never been convicted nor ever probably was involved specifically in murder. She has supported murderers and terrorists' goals and intentions though.

  • @MegaAstrodude oh well...what whites thought no black person was going to try to retaliate. all the damn killing they did and shes the bad person. at some point when somebody keep hitting you ..you have to start hitting back even if you dont want to

  • @jumpingonglass,

    Harold Haley had nothing to do with any of the prison abuse and never killed anybody. He wasn't even the judge of Opie Miller's trial.

    Whites long thought that blacks would try to retaliate for mistreatment and abuse that was realized after the fact. That's why slavery lasted so long. If Nat Turner only demanded freedom after organizing, slavery would have ended without a shot being fired. Turner even admitted that his owner, Travis, was still a decent person.

  • fuck you all israelis, you criminals

    6 million of your race was killed during ww2

    and now they kill other people

  • Im sorry, this woman gives me a headache. She changes direction, and changes the subject in mid-sentence. I guess I prefer a more linear thought process.

  • What would Hymie Lewis do if the evil USA didn't exist for him to bash all the time?

  • Angela Davis is the biggest lie in the world the biggest anti-semite anti Israel pro palestine . She should have been given the death penalty.If I was a woman i would be insulted that she was speaking for all of us well only black women she is extremely RACIST again should have been given the death penalty.

  • gotta sweet black angel, gotta pin up girl. gotta sweet black angel, up upon my wall. well she aint no singer, and she aint no star. but she sure talks good, and she moves so fast. but the gal's in danger, the gal's in chain, but she keep on pushin, would u do the same, she's counting up de minutes, she's counting up de days, she's a sweet black angel, woa, not a sweet black slave... love the rolling stone song for angela davis.

  • reagan was a fucking new world order puppet -- a piece of shit - i made a party when he died- may he burn in hell

    angela davis is such a legend.-

  • @ffm20zaheri Wow, maybe after the party, you could remove your head from your ass? How do you make a party?  You sound like a middle east war war mongering puppet yourself..

  • Angela Davis, a woman of mind & good looks, yes sorry. Don't judge, listen to the human being. Or is that too hard for you to do. Fear = Death..

  • Fucking stupid communist bitch, how come anyone with brain can call this pos an intellectual??

  • since they are morons. she would love to see this country end up like soviet union.

  • Maybe you are the one than have no brain..

  • America, like or not, I could care less if you ignorantly disagree, is a failed state.

  • Ms. Davis was a communist. That's why Reagan did not like her politics.

  • @Micheleeroo Reagan didn't like her politics because of greed and racism. She spoke the truth, and gave us a pathway to real justice, which Reagan opposed. Reagan is THE reason we have more black men in jail than in college, THE reason our cities are crumbling. Stupid labels, and the McCarthyite idiocy Reagan swallowed whole just makes it all worse.

  • Ms. Davis actually was number ONE in USSR TV as an American woman activist against well done fake democracy in western world..She was popular in former USSR just like The Beatles or Stevie Wonder...p.s. Extremely intelligent & educated woman...totally opposite of hockey-mom from Alaska...:))))

  • What Angela Davis fails to discuss is the main reasons that people end up on the path of poverty and incarceration. Her reasons always point to symptoms of the problem and avoid the real causes. The symptoms are the lack of education and inability to find jobs, but the real reasons are their lack of motivation and ambition, combined with parents who are anti-system--as evidenced by their lack of participation in their children's educational background and attending teacher meetings.

  • @1stPlaceDirector your buying into that reactionary right wing rhetoric. how do youthe ambitions or motivations of people that you dont know.

  • @1stPlaceDirector your buying inton that reactionary right wing rhetoric. how do you know the ambitions or motivations of people you dont know?

  • @1stPlaceDirector Amen to that. My sister teaches at an all black high school, thought she was going to make a difference and change the world, ha. She clued in real fast, don't "bother" these kids parents/gaurdians with any bullcrap pertaining to school b/c they don't want to hear about it. On Parent-Teacher night she takes a book to read or something to occupy her time b/c she knows that no parents will show up. Now I know me saying this makes me racist. Go figure.

  • @Bombeni sad but true...

  • @Bombeni That is very indicative of the time period that we are living in it seems like people just don't care anymore

  • I am definitely an Angela Davis fan. Yet I must say that the benevolence toward those who would otherwise be incarcerated sounds fine until one becomes a victim...

  • FUCK the USA I hope they go ro war with Russia and China so these people in USA can finnaly become FREE

  • stupid communist

  • She is right about the criminal justice system. People are being used as slave labor regardless of race privatized prisons owned by Corrections Corporation of America, GEO Group Inc., G4S Secure Solutions and others.

    I hope that she has exposed the horrors of the old Soviet Block Prisons. If she has not, there is something really wrong with her. If she has, then she has the support of many Europeans and Americans that know about those places.

  • On August 7, 1970, Superior Court Judge Harold Haley, along with several other hostages, was murdered during an effort to free a convict.

    The firearms used in the attack were purchased by Angela Davis, including the shotgun used to kill Haley, which had been purchased only two days prior and sawed-off. The California warrant issued for Davis charged her as an accomplice to conspiracy, kidnapping, and homicide

  • She wrote about the FBI's targeting of the Black Panther Party as part of its Counter Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO). Also, she was tried and acquitted of suspected involvement in the Soledad brothers' August 1970 abduction and murder of Judge Harold Haley in Marin County, California, even though she had purchased the weapons involved, had written letters to one of the prisoners who had escaped, and became a fugitive of the law after the murders.

  • Angela makes many valid points but has also made many mistakes. The Russian puppet called East Germany was a Brutal Murderous Regime. The U.S. is becoming or is already like the old D.D.R. or East Germany. All people are being treated as slaves and are being made to fellate the big corporate cock.

  • Davis earned her master's degree from the San Diego campus and her doctorate in philosophy from Humboldt University in East Berlin. Angela Davis was honorary guest of an East German Youth Festival in 1973.

    I have relatives in Germany. Angela has makes many valid points. Her past affection for the East German Regime should be publicly corrected. It was an evil regime and perhaps she has re-evaluated those years. A.D. made mistakes

    Her stance on prison reform basically gets my vote.

  • Comment removed

  • she is sheer genius

  • Long live Angela Davis. Bjoernsen

  • she is a murdering whore, and i hope she rots in hell

  • Didnt she help murder a judge?

  • yep, but according to liberals, she is a idol

  • Communists need to wake up and see how evil they truly are. Angela Davis has helped murder children. She doesn't invent or create. She has made no productive contribution to society, she only has attacked and attempted to destroy civilization ostensibly because of social injustice, but she really just wants to destroy society out spite for everyday, productive virtues that build society. She also denies the Soviet Holocausts.

  • She's so badass!

  • she looks like sideshow bob from the simpsons

  • @dionysian83 he looks like her lol

  • she is such a charismatic woman, i admire her so much.

  • @lagranga07,

    Osama bin Laden is charismatic. Why don't you admire him? Davis is no different from Osama bin Laden and has supported the torturing Czech inmates in a Communist "rehabilitation clinic" according to Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. One also has to wonder why she has never bothered to study and actual philosophy even though she purportedly majored in it(she fled to Germany after being caught plagiarizing papers in America).

  • "by that i meant, they should speak in a deep retro- and introspective tone." Deadcece u and i both know this quote of yrs is garbage. all women should speak in a deep retro tone? huh??!! seriously, a mind is a terrible thing to waste and an even worst thing to overuse when you are not used to doing so.

  • @beelinegirl lol ur problem is ur zoning out into other places talking about homeless people and your mom. save your argument for someone who gives a fuck. i personally dont. all i know iz im for black liberation, anything u do is truly backpedalling. waste someone elses time thank you =)

  • @DeadCee AHHH! As I thought, when a weakling has nothing to say and is pinned to a corner, they attack - personal attack - then they say they don't care blah blah blah like a 5 year old in a schoolyard. Go on. You are not ready for debates with adults honey. Yr initial stance was garbage & yr retraction is equally so.

  • @DeadCee,

    Retarded people like you explain trade deficits, budget deficits, decline of manufacturing, and rising crime rates.

  • DeadCee: u attacked me then gave an ex of a black woman talking about "da dick" as a negative. ur genius. my mother says u can learn from a homeless man, illiterate man as well as an educated man. all ppl can offer insight into their lives and ultimately into my life. god sends angels and u never know thru whose mouthes those angels speak even yr "da dick" woman. i will not call u an imbecile, i will simply assume u never had the opportunity to think.

  • Wow, I love racsist classist sexist America. Its as American as apple pie.

  • Good interview, she sounds like a freedom fighter... AKA. patriot, JFK, MLK.

    This country hasn't seen real true free market capitalism in over 100+ yrs. With fractional reserve banking from the FED printing a fiat currency, this country will never get out of debt... ITS IMPOSSIBLE. This country was robbed back in 1933 when Nixon mandated the exchange of gold and silver for paper and ink, $1.5 trillion worth of gold and silver back in 1933.. imagine how much that would be worth today???

  • This is such a good interview

  • strictly speaking about her economic views, she has no idea what she is talking about

  • and you do??? You don't know what you're talking about.

  • she should have been in jail years ago

  • i've always liked her although i've often questioned her judgement and i do again question it here: if judges were to see defendant's as anything other than blank slates with rights we'd end up with either chaos or dictatorship. i like her thoughts on institutional memory and she is probably correct that it sustains slavery and secregationist thinking in prisons. the seam in the lamp behind the lame interviewer was distracting me. on to part 2

  • angela davis is sucha beautiful woman. this is how all black women should speak

  • @DeadCee who are you to suggest there is ONE way for all black women to speak? from africa, from the caribbean, from various states in america - how can ALL of them speak one way????? ridiculous. black women like all women have a diversity of voices. angela is just one of them.

  • @beelinegirl lol wow, thats pretty stupid. by that i meant, they should speak in a deep retro- and introspective tone. diversity is a must. u assumed otherwise because you're just another person whjo loves to argue. and yet i bet if a black woman came in a room sayin fuck all dat shit nigga i sucks da dick, i gets down on dat hoe shit, u wouldnt like that so called diversity u proclaimed just now. whether u like it or not black people have a problem and we need to fix it.

  • @DeadCee backpeddling i see. see my comment above and be like angela, have the courage to stand by what you say after you've said it.

  • @DeadCee Keep dreaming....  Ms. Davis is merely a drop in an ocean of Shenanees and Shaneequas

  • @djs259 and if people maintain your view, that's all they'll ever be. :(

  • @DeadCee Wow if this is ironic, then hats off. But I suspect the opposite. Listen to her IDEAS not as a "beautiful women" who talks like "all black women should" which castrates her brilliance as a social theorist and feminist activist

  • @charlierudnick Brilliance? Really? 

  • Right ON!! statement about new orleans having no place for poor  (8:45)

  • She supported Jim Jones who went on to murder over 900 black and "progressive" people.

  • I know why don't they talk about that?

  • because that would reflect badly on her. never mind what she did before.

  • @boils2 ur a dick teaser

  • The so-called 'land of the free & home of the cowards' has the highest incarceration rate in the whole world. And it is no accident

    Euro ignorance, ill-will, plain evil, & the racism they spawn, are behind USA insidious incarceration rate

    Angela is correct about institutional memory sustaining America's slavery prison system

    However, she is absolutely INCORRECT to think that men don't in fact gather around tables with plans to sustain America's evil, slavery prison system; because they do!

  • 6fret <--We have a terrorist here!!

    He is disguised as a Jew.

  • smart woman,. no wonder she was on fbi's most wanted list..

  • I can't believe that people respect Reagan.

  • Your right, Reagan was a son of a bitch. What a turn coat.

  • @beingforitse1f I never voted for the guy, but people respected him because he gave some self confidence to the majority about being American again, even if it might have been false. I would respect her more if she wouled appologize for her support of communist dictatorships in the 60's and 70's. Some have, such as some socialist woman from Sweden I read about many years ago, but she hasn't.

  • @beingforitse1f

    "I can't believe that people respect Reagan."

    I can tell you that I have zero respect for Ronald Reagan. In the 1980s, due to his insane anti-commie fantasies, he was responsible for the murder of hundreds of thousands of Central Americans, most of them indigineous people of color. Reagan funded the right-wing governments of El Salvador & Guatemala in the 1980s, both of which had paramilitary units called death squads who slaughtered thousands of people.

  • you be so right on...............

  • i beg your pardon for using the clumsy word ''boatint0g''. i should have used ''shipping'', as in cargo. they were called ''human cargo''.

    the south would have done just fine without slaves. they were a luxury and if sold today could fetch close to a million dollars for a young healthy black male with say 40 or 50 years of work in him.

    plantation owners could have easily used poor whites as sharecroppers and came out almost as well. and they wouldn't have had disciplinary or escape problems

  • i beg your pardon for using the word ''boating''. i should have more appropriately used the term ''shipped''. like cargo, which they technically were. they were termed ''human cargo''. and while valuable, worth probably a million dollars apiece extrapolated for today's dollars.

    the south would have done just fine without the slaves. they were strictly a ''luxury'' to weathy southern plantation owners. the owners could have paid poor white southerns a sharecropper wage and come out as well.

  • dale1966gto- "plantation owners could have paid poor sharecroppers wages & come out as well." that's the thing they didn't want to PAY. they wanted free labor. as a bonus they (& their wives) could takeout their frustrations (mental & sexual) on slaves. if they did this to sharecroppers & their wives they would have gone to jail.

  • Does she have an accent?

  • the white she posseses is as a result of slavery

  • Yes shes White....

  • What is wrong with you? are you so superficial and shallow that Ms. Davis's "skin tone" and "hair tecture" as you say (thats texture btw learn how to spell before you criticize) is the only thing that stands out for you? Did you even learn one thing from her message or are you so caught up with race that you just missed boat?

  • Doesnt matter sh aint Black but i research mixed people are forst and pushed into one catagorie witch is the black catagorie so its not her faulth its society the White society forces them to chose black..

  • From your comment I see you haven't read one book in your indolent life. Africans were "boated" (as you so clumsily phrase it) from Africa to the United States. Not to mention the southern economy depended upon slavery you fool!!

  • Yawn more psudo intellectuals ashamed of their support of Soviet Union Chinese communist. The kind words that were spoken by this women about some of the most brutal killers of the past six decades isn't made irrelevant because she talks poetically about the need for racial harmony.

    Prison abolition spoken about by a women who once marveled at the slave labor economies in Russia and Cuba.

    Disgusting in every way

  • Many of the 1960s radicals had some good points. But you make a good point ---defending the practices of Communism is indefensible

  • Lost of other people who were not radical morons had those points as well. Remember the first people to speak out on civil rights in the USA who were quasi famous were Ronald Reagan and Charlton Heston in the 50s.

    60s Radicals just took credit for the hard work done by people in the 40s and 50s.

  • 60's radicals were a rejection of the 40's and 50' s lifestyles

  • They were a rejection of many things but that doesn't mean they started the civil rights movement or did most of the ground work..They just attached them selves to movements already started..try to be less dumb about such impotent issues.

  • try to read a book next time you fucking retard, these "radicals" were tired of waiting for the system it took over 400 yrs and they still were not equal, so they fought for it, wat you them want so sit back and do nothing, anyone who fights for social change is a radical MLK was also a radical, Thurgood Marshall, WEB dubois cuz they fought against the status and risked their lives to do so. Civil rights movement = radical, you stupid piece of shit, take a black history course

  • Hey punk there were plenty of radicals by your definition who didn't think the communist method of mass murder and slave labor was something to aspire to and certainly didn't make excuses for it.. MLK or Thurgood Marshall are part of that group . You however made up an argument no one was having to make your self seem important and smart.

    Wow you know the very basics of black history in America, and you think people should respect you for it and take your shit..grow up kid..

  • your the dumb ass saying the wrong shit , not me, I dont study black history, i just study history, and know a hell of a lot more than you and i earn my respect from people who paid their dues, unlike your self where u shit on anyone who disagrees with your illogical opinion. Angela Davis is talking about the points of an ideal communist society you ignorant dick face not mao or stalin, which is not real communism. i got big words and a big dick ur mom loves , so suck it bitch

  • Saying wrong shit? Okay such as? ..Angela Davis supported and defended Castro, Ho Chi Min, Pol Pot, the leaders of the Soviet Union before it leaked out the result of their trying to reach a ideal communist world..Every attempt at communism ends the same, it doesn't make economic sense, and it operates contrary to human nature..

    Like Chomsky she backtracked like crazy as what these people did came to light and tries to distance here self.

    no one cares about your dick or opinions

  • yeah it does everyone is equal, it's not about economics douche bag it's about being one, go suck another dick and get off mine your too stupid to contend with me

  • Ha yeah I am too stupid. Yeah everyone is equal how? Equality of opportunity or equality or results, equality of material wealth. What equality do you think you are talking about..Communism was speaking about equality of material wealth produced by a state run by the working class.

    You can't buck economic laws moron.. Communism didn't have an efficient price system. So producers didn't know how to properly allocate resources to where needed.

    Please keep going it is fun to make u look dumb.

  • hey jackass it's called karl marx, read him then come back at davis , and not at the horrible dictators you stupid cunt face moron

  • I bet you think your so smart, that your entire persona is being the educated witty black man so whitey watch out..you know big words like imperialism and social justice and you are gonna make big changes in the world, taking the power back and all that shit..

    Well buddy no one gives a fuck, most people are not caught up in stupid racial crap like you and they will go on to live meaningful lives. You want so desperately to be important but you never will be I can tell all the war from Canada.

  • do i understand that u say u are from canada?. if so and u are such,captilist,why are u living there? my understanding,is canada is a social democracy,is this true?.

  • May i ask a question? did she have an accent? i have an accent and i can heard that she have a bit of an accent, does she?

  • i hope angela davis comes to speak at my campus one day.

  • Is any one listening to this woman is anyone taking note, am a Jamaican living Jamaica watching world affairs....this lady has not seen the election of OBAMA as President the pivotal moment but that it detracts from the actual work of black empowerment...in her view the racism that persist in USA has just been pushed on the back burner. Obamas remark of calling the Police stupid in the Re:arrest case of Professor Grant has brought it back to the fore front. Obama made a mistake but was it?Genius

  • He said that the police acted stupidly...he did not call them stupid. There is a difference.

  • Свободу Анжеле Девис!!!!

  • cutie, there's more people in prison these days because 1. larger population, and 2. more people dealing dope.

  • I dig Angela Y. Davis, she's a really nice person in real life.

  • I love Angela Davis

  • don't be ignorant, our people didn't like it, now would you want to treat others sa badly.

  • I love Angela Davis.. I heard of her and saw the manifestation in my country for her release in the 80s R A F

  • You can always tell the ignorant people from the ones with intelligence. What comes out of their mouths.

  • Glad u dug this IsisCali..peace..from PJ

  • Lawd....my people!!!!!!

  • ANGELA DAVIS was not a government plant-she was a real revolutionary in the struggle for black people-jail was a terrrible experience for her

  • and i'm not talking about the black panthers

  • Comment removed

  • why not interview Obama bin Laden or the unibomber?

  • Is it true that sister Angela is a lesbian with a white lover??? Just asking....

  • ISI T TRUE SHE IS KINDA MASCULINE

  • Freedom of Speech. Thank You Sista Angela.

  • I was listening to a song, Hot Night - Me'shell Ndegeocello, and I didnt know that was Angela's voice on there, I just know I loved the voice and had to hear more. I'm still finding words to describe it, all I know is I feel truth in her voice when she speaks.

  • What was your question?

  • I'm going to paraphrase her speech for you first (the part that got my attention). First of all, she openly said she was part of the communist party in the 70's and she still has many communist beliefs, but she considers herself a socialist today. Durning part of her speech that led me to stump her was, she was preeching freedoms' for all people, and that she wanted all people to be liberated. Continued....

  • Comment removed

  • i wonder how angela feels about the possibility of beyonce portraying her in a movie?
