who let her back into the country???
"Angela, she's one of the million, of political prisoners in the world..."
John Lennon
B S then, B S now.
I agree.
I say we start by letting the most violent, agressive inmates live out in society.
At angela davis's house.
If she thinks they're ok, then she shouldn't have a problem trusting them in her home, right???
They use "progressive" instead.
What if they won't go to school?
I thought that old Communist was dead already. Who brought her back from the dead?
Angela Davis IS a communist but you'll rarely see that word used to describe real communists. Now they're called progressives or activists or environmentalists.
She needs to convert to Islam, put on a burkha and shut the heck up!
One of her boyfriends used guns that belonged to her to kill 4 people. She got off at trial, but I believe that she is just another in the long list of radical lefties who have escaped justice.
It would "raise the specter of McCarthyism" to mention she at least once ran on a CPUSA ticket with Gus Hall. Therefore I won't.
As a teacher, I tend to agree, but I think it all goes back to the family. When a large number of the children in those communities are being raised by teenagers and without fathers, there are going to be problems, IMO.
I see a need to go back to the old ways, in terms of morals & values.
"Do the Hustle!"
Back to basics. Stop the pussy-footing around and teach right from wrong.
Davis should do less talking and pay more attention to kids having kids.
Here's what Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn had to say about her. I guess her sympathy is only for certain kinds of prisoners:
"...a group of Czech dissidents--addressed an appeal to her: `Comrade Davis, you were in prison. You know how unpleasant it is to sit in prison, especially when you consider yourself innocent. You have such great authority now. Could you help our Czech prisoners? Could you stand up for those people in Czechoslovakia who are being persecuted by the state?' Angela Davis answered: `They deserve what they get. Let them remain in prison.' That is the face of Communism. That is the heart of Communism for you."
By participating in VVAW demonstrations, Kerry marched alongside many revolutionary Communists. Exploiting his presence at such rallies, the Communist publication Daily World prominently published photographs of Kerry addressing anti-war protestors, some of whom were carrying banners with portraits of Communist Party leader Angela Davis. Openly organized by known Communists, these rallies were typified by what the December 12, 1971, Herald Traveler called an “abundance of Vietcong flags, clenched fists raised in the air, and placards plainly bearing legends in support of China, Cuba, the USSR, North Korea and the Hanoi government
An acquaintance gave me that book a few weeks ago and I read it. It's pretty short and also interesting.
Prisons (penitentiaries) and extended periods of incarceration are, in terms of human history, very recent developments. They are still an experiment. Her book details how rapidly prisons and prison populations have recently grown, particularly in the United States and particulary in the last few decades.
Don't be afraid to read it. ;-)
I thought she was dead.
