She's an attention starved whore who backs up none of her arguments with evidence of any kind. She's the female Jesse Jackson, only he didn't incite murder and violence.
The next time these Communist scumbags attack like they did at Virginia Tech, we will defend ourselves. Imagine UC Berkeley burning to the ground as communists lament their formerly held views to gain some charity from upstanding and decent human beings. She showed her true colors in the Czech Republic and black wasn't one of them. She was just red.
Industry is collapsing. Rights are disappearing around the world. People are denied property around the world. Angela Davis and her cronies are to blame. When UC Berkley is non-existent, the world will be a better place.
Do the people that like Davis also like what she said about tortured dissidents in communist Czechoslovakia? She said they "deserve(d) what they got" and should (have) "remain(ed) in prison"
I don't recall exactly to what you are referring but Davis was in Czechoslovakia at a time when their people were trying to overthrow their Communist oppressors peacefully. She sanctioned the torture of their political prisoners. Read Alexander Solzhenitsyn, whose accounts were praised by socialists, on the subject of communist torture.
@TheFlanker35 Please don't get me wrong; I by no means am trying to excuse Davis' comments about communist repression and I think those statements were and continue to be abhorrent, especially as she will not disavow them to this day.
she has a misunderstanding of communism. both communism and capitalism are fundamentally flawed - marx even doubted his philosophy. Edward Bellamy was who really wrote about the socialist utopia in his book Looking Backwards. That is socialism, not communism.
According to wikipedia: In 1970, Superior Court Judge Harold Haley was abducted from his courtroom & murdered during an effort to free a convict.
The firearms used in the attack were purchased in Davis's name, including the shotgun used to kill Haley, which had been purchased only two days prior & sawed-off.
So she was involved in conspiracy to murder, even if indirectly. Has she ever given a full explanation publicly? (She was found not-guilty, but not-guilty doesn't mean innocent)
@TreblePop, In America (USA), a person is innocent untill proven guilty. She was not found guilty, therefore, she is innocent. I hope you respct the 2ond amendment more than you respect the 5th. I will never understand the conservative-liborel selective memory when it comes to the Bill of Rights. They ALL keep us a free people
No, a jury finds someone guilty or not guilty. Not guilty does not mean innocence. It simply means the evidence was not deemed sufficient to render a verdict of guilty.
So, having said that, I think my original question is a legitimate one. The issue would be in this case a matter of personal ethics and conscience.
@TreblePop- U r only correct in a de facto sense. We are all innocent untill proven guilty (5th Ammendment and Common Law). If a judge or jury is unable to find you guiltty, you are legelly innocent (even if u did infact commit the crime). Ms. Davis has an arrest record, she has been convicted of nothing. In the eyes of the law, she is innocent, whether you or I like it or not.
Since the law, in the view of the Supreme Court itself, has no fundamental meaning other than practicality, the guilt or innocence of someone under the law is irrelevant to one's moral judgment or view of a person. Someone may be considered a murderer in practical contexts even if he wasn't convicted of such a crime.
Yes, that is true. There is not enough evidence to link her to the kidnapping of Harold Haley. However, there is ample evidence of other crimes committed by Davis.
Side Show Bob was probably inspired by her appearance, maybe to mock her appearance, racism and stereoptypes on mainstream media is not something new. a sickening continuous pattern.
@Lboogiefan08 Gee you set me straight! I will free a bunch of Slaves in your and her honor...oh wait they are free, just lazy now....your the hater! Peace
@Lboogiefan08 No need to spread the "news". Everybody knows that communism is the bloodiest, most oppressive, most despotic ideology that only brought death, ecological and economic disasters where it reigned. Planned economy is the epitomacy of idiocy. What is good about communism?? What problem did communism effectively solve in history?? Name me only ONE country where communism did not end up in a rotten shithole?
@hint0122 did she murdered someone in your family buddy. And if you're referring to that trial from the early 1970's, she was acquitted and should I add by a mostly if not entirely white jury, so get over yourself. Angela Davis is an amazing women and you know it. Peace.
she bought the weapons that were used to kill Superior Court Judge Harold Haley. OJ was acquitted by a mostly white jury, so whats your point? she is a socialist bitch, and its ironic that you say peace, since she has blood on her hands for peace.
@hint0122 How exactly do u know that "she did what she was charged with, but got let off"? Why r u white people so EVIL!? R u really that arrogant and blind by this whole racial superiority complex that u don't expect or suspect urself to be wrong, EVER? And it maybe africa to u but it's Afrika to me just like it maybe america to u but ameriKKKa to me!!
since she admitted it, and there was large amounts of evidence to back it up. why are you such a moronic racist, bigot? Maybe you should go back to grade school.
@hint0122 large amount of what evidence? i'm a bigot? face it she didn't do it! do u know how hard it was to get acquired in the 70's? let alone by an all white jury? she was not OJ! she was not rich! if she did i guess all "black" r guilty of being slaves huh? faggot, get a life! ameriKKKa is no long urs!! by 2050, there will be no more white people! ahahahahahhahahaha. brown, brown brown. Afrika, Afrika, Afrika. hahahahahaha
The guns used in the takeover were registered in her name, More then 20 different witnesses said she was involved, not to mention she ran, which would imply she is guilty. Her defense was that the witnesses couldn’t tell the difference since they were white. All of her witnesses were her commie friends. The jury was in her pocket the whole time. They went to a victory party afterwards for gods sake. What does that say? Yes you are a bigot and a racist.
@hint0122 Lies, lies, lies & more lies! So typical of ur KIND! Evil FUCK! U failed to mention that one of the jurors daughter came forward and told the judge that her white mother was a RACIST! White boy y can't u just ADMIT that u & ur KIND r just plain EVIL!? And if there is such a thing as judgement & hell, u & ur KIND are going to be judged to BURN in HELL for the atrocities that u & ur KIND have CAUSED! The gun was in her name like the BLOOD of probably BILLIONS are in ur KIND's name!
@hint0122 When u go there WILL be a PARTY! When u go there WILL be no MORE evil in the world! When u go Afrika WILL have her riches BACK! When u go the grass will be greener! When u go the air WILL be fresher! Oh when u go we WILL really KNOW that GOD does EXIST! Now go do some METH to that BOY!!
@hint0122 do u have any proof that there was slavery? do u have any proof that u r "white"? do have any proof that 9/11 was not an inside job? do u have any proof that the people of diego garcia were not stripped away from their land? i thought so.
btw, one of the juries that acquitted her gave revolutionary's clenched-fist salute to the news cameras, laughing on what they did. he and most of the jurors then went off to partake in a Davis victory party
her words are very expressive as well as encouraging way more to a stance then barrack yo mama. she should of been the 1st REAL BLACK president of the united states weather its a woman or man. does bush have a degree

Anyone who was fool enough to glorify the Soviet Union after its crushing of Hungary (which Angela continued to do) and approved of Jim Jones and his hellish "utopia" (again Angela did this) is an idiot.
Interesting how UCTV describes Professor Davis as a "radical rebel" who transformed into a university professor.
Will the regents ever get over the fact that they were unjust??
Angela Davis was a professor at UCLA when she was persecuted by Gov. Reagan and the regents for holding beliefs that they did not agree with. She drew thousands to her classes then and she draws thousands now.
So continually gracious, eloquent and grounded in her positions. She has the ultimate insight on "change."
Well she was a radical. Lets not forget she was trying to over-throw the capitalistic order, in favor of a communist one. That is what radical means. Maybe she shouldn't have lost her job for having an opposing view point....(agree with you here) but radical is the correct word.
I dont think its my own "reality tunnel" but an accepted notion in today's current time. Radical generally means drastic, extreme, or implies a new order.
It is from this base that we communicate, with the accepted meaning. How else would we be able to communicate? A lot of words change over time.
If you are going to get so technical you should also talk about a group of atoms with at least one electron, who are free to form chemical bonds.
YOU SPEAK OF "RADICAL" AS IT PERTAINS TO A STANDARD, A UNITED GROUP OF CULTURES. TRUST ME THERE WAS NEVER A UNITED RACIAL and/or CULTURAL AMERICAN. HOW THEN DO YOU DEFINE WHAT IS "RADICAL" or "UN-RADICAL"? YOU CAN NOT. FOR WHAT IS RADICAL TO YOU, WHAT IS FAIR TO YOU, WHAT IS JUST TO YOU OUT OF YOUR OWN WHITE PRIVILEGE, MAY VERY WELL NOT BE WHITE, I'M SORRY I MEAN "RIGHT" TO ME.
@alabmawhitman Please, there are left-wing radicals and right-wing radicals and what is "radical" now may not be thought as such years from now. Dr. Davis does not fully define the word, "radical".
Angela Davies - well she had some pretty crappy Leninist politics, but a lot of what she was saying was spot on. She supported the Jonestown experiment, sure. But that thing actually worked quite well when that bastard Jones was out of town (many of the survivors have said so). (Hence I am an anarchist! No leaders!).
She is true inspiration for all of us! I really hope our world would have more leader's like she is, bush is racist-bastard & as long as that scuzzball is in power, who know's what might happen. Long may Angela Davis live!!! :D Peace!! :)

is not supporting same sex relationships & same sex marriage, or overall homosexuals equality? absolutely! everyone has the EQUAL right to feel anyway they feel & say what they want. so saying he's number 1 - racist because he's against gays is laughable. are gays now a race? to call him a bastard is your own opinion, but to say he's not practicing equality because he's personally against gays; i think that's a bit false!
it is 100% racism to be against gays, bush is homophobic old fart, are yu too? But what do you know about gays life, and next you are going to say that I'm gay, I'm a woman for all your information. How does it belong to bush & sir palin how gays live? Why do those sexist-republicans think they can control everyone else's life? They are bastards, and palin is idiotic woman-traitor & fool!!!!!!
I believe the point trying to be underlined is the fact that by saying he is against homosexuals would corrrectly imply that he is not for gay rights or gay marriage, which would clearly and most obviously be unequal. I believe what you are trying to say is that everyone is entitled to their opinions, but oppressing someone because of sexuality, (and even gender) is not equality. You have to be a complete buffoon not to understand that and try to chalk up in the category of free speech.
Angela Davis is a symbol of freedom! Racism remains still in many countries, specially in the US, a country governed by a man who stole the elections!
Socialism is a great way to abolish all forms of oppression:religion,racism, poverty, hunger,etc
Capitalism enhances imperialism, domination of stupid white men over womyn and african-americans, hate against other humans. Mexicans are humans!! Russians are humans!!! Capitalism can only bring fascism. Capitalism denies ecology and cooperation.
I agree that socialism is a great way to "fix" our society. What would your form of socialism entail? I only ask this to ascertain a knowledge of how a true government would work.
why do ignorant people come and watch the full video of someone they dislike that much then post hate comments? If you don't like her or what she stands for: don't watch videos of her! You probably don't like her because you can't grasp the meaning of this lecture!

Just finished reading a book which contained a description of Angela Davis in the last pages. The title is SHAM (Self-Help Actualization Movement): How the Self-Help Movement Made America Helpless by Steve Salerno. Angela Davis fits this description perfectly: she is a FOREVER-VICTIM, as well as her sympathizers. They wear their victimhood proudly and with great relish, marinating in it all the days of their lives.
beacause you can say something doesnt mean you should. Have you no standards, values or boundaries? I guess all this radical behavior by self-rieghtious adults is part of the divine order of evolution.

"Have you no standards, values or boundaries?"
Absolutely--that's what so few people have today. My father, who lived from 1898 to 1958, had a term for what "all these radical women rights fighters" were doing. It was called bellyaching.
I met personaly this grate woman when she came to Mexico city on 80's. She was invited to an international conference for the independence for Puerto Rico. And I recebed her at airport and take care of her during few days. She is very inteligent and I admire the way she is, and her ideas.

...and you can't spell. Not a very flattering commentary on one of her admirers--but not surprising. Gimme gimme gimme--poor little dependent victim--the government has to support me because I'm incapable of doing so myself.

Angela Davies - well she had some pretty crappy Leninist politics, but a lot of what she was saying was spot on. She supported the Jonestown experiment, sure. But that thing actually worked quite well when that bastard Jones was out of town (many of the survivors have said so). (Hence I am an anarchist! No leaders!).

She is true inspiration for all of us! I really hope our world would have more leader's like she is, bush is racist-bastard & as long as that scuzzball is in power, who know's what might happen. Long may Angela Davis live!!! :D Peace!! :)

is not supporting same sex relationships & same sex marriage, or overall homosexuals equality? absolutely! everyone has the EQUAL right to feel anyway they feel & say what they want. so saying he's number 1 - racist because he's against gays is laughable. are gays now a race? to call him a bastard is your own opinion, but to say he's not practicing equality because he's personally against gays; i think that's a bit false!
vmontez5 3 years ago
it is 100% racism to be against gays, bush is homophobic old fart, are yu too? But what do you know about gays life, and next you are going to say that I'm gay, I'm a woman for all your information. How does it belong to bush & sir palin how gays live? Why do those sexist-republicans think they can control everyone else's life? They are bastards, and palin is idiotic woman-traitor & fool!!!!!!

I believe the point trying to be underlined is the fact that by saying he is against homosexuals would corrrectly imply that he is not for gay rights or gay marriage, which would clearly and most obviously be unequal. I believe what you are trying to say is that everyone is entitled to their opinions, but oppressing someone because of sexuality, (and even gender) is not equality. You have to be a complete buffoon not to understand that and try to chalk up in the category of free speech.

Angela Davis is a symbol of freedom! Racism remains still in many countries, specially in the US, a country governed by a man who stole the elections!
Socialism is a great way to abolish all forms of oppression:religion,racism, poverty, hunger,etc
Capitalism enhances imperialism, domination of stupid white men over womyn and african-americans, hate against other humans. Mexicans are humans!! Russians are humans!!! Capitalism can only bring fascism. Capitalism denies ecology and cooperation.

I agree that socialism is a great way to "fix" our society. What would your form of socialism entail? I only ask this to ascertain a knowledge of how a true government would work.

why do ignorant people come and watch the full video of someone they dislike that much then post hate comments? If you don't like her or what she stands for: don't watch videos of her! You probably don't like her because you can't grasp the meaning of this lecture!

She was a cause celebre' in tne 60's. She us ab avowed and active member of the Communist Party USA. She was actively involved with the (ideologically similar) Marxist-oriented Black Panthers abd helped spring a few of them from jail.
The New Yorker catoon cover this week was reminescent of her in(with the same 'fro): militant and anti-White radical.

Just finished reading a book which contained a description of Angela Davis in the last pages. The title is SHAM (Self-Help Actualization Movement): How the Self-Help Movement Made America Helpless by Steve Salerno. Angela Davis fits this description perfectly: she is a FOREVER-VICTIM, as well as her sympathizers. They wear their victimhood proudly and with great relish, marinating in it all the days of their lives.

beacause you can say something doesnt mean you should. Have you no standards, values or boundaries? I guess all this radical behavior by self-rieghtious adults is part of the divine order of evolution.

"Have you no standards, values or boundaries?"
Absolutely--that's what so few people have today. My father, who lived from 1898 to 1958, had a term for what "all these radical women rights fighters" were doing. It was called bellyaching.

...and you can't spell. Not a very flattering commentary on one of her admirers--but not surprising. Gimme gimme gimme--poor little dependent victim--the government has to support me because I'm incapable of doing so myself.

You've got to be kidding.
If there has ever been anyone who is capable and competent it is Angela Davis.
Who is really saying "gimme gimme gimme?"
She is testimony to the best of what the human race is all about.
I offer for you to try to stretch your "habits of imagination."
