He was an idiot then.

Does this imply he is not now? (sarc/)

“ ‘So long as there are prisoners in the U.S., I am among them,’ ” the Grays Harbor College history instructor recalled Debs saying. “If anyone exemplifies that kind of statement today, it is the wonderful Angela Davis.”

**************

Too bad Davis isn't actually among them. One can dream.

[pissant]

I can’t describe my dream for her. I’d get booted from FR.

[pissant]

Not at all.

[Jack Black]

To Mick Jagger she was “a sweet black angel”

I'm sure he got all the best out of her that there was to get. She was decent looking babe back in the day. I wonder if he sang "Brown Sugar" for her after they had revolutionary sex?

“Men who embrace feminism become all the stronger from it, they become powerful supporters of their communities, representatives of the struggle for justice,” Davis said.

***************

Oy vey. Major barf alert here.

[pissant]

Not sure if Brown Sugar is about here. I bet his line about black girls in the song Some Girls is though.

[Jack Black]

I have it on excellent authority that she does tip well in restaurants, so she is not without at least one redeaming quality.

[pissant]

her idea of feminism was being a groupie whore for the rolling stones.

[trisham]

No kidding? :(

[Prophet in the wilderness]

That’s why most feminist are Feminist, because they are skanks.

accused Soviet spies Ethel and Julius Rosenberg

How about convicted and executed Soviet spies? How about guilty Soviet spies, guilt reinforced years later by papers released after the fall of the Soviet Union?

You live in Santa Cruz ? What are you, some sort of masochist ? Sheesh !

I believe "Brown Sugar" was about one of Tina Turners back up dancers, who was on tour with the Stones. Her name is Claudia Lennear, here she is, pictured in era-appropriate clothes:

American socialist organizer and philosopher "former terrorist" Angela Davis talks in front of the Stafford Creek Corrections Center Wednesday. Davis spoke at the prison, and then at Grays Harbor College.

As opposed to... I mean when you cut through the BS wasn't that the highest asperation of most 60s feminists?

[pissant]

Heckuva fro there, sis.

[Jack Black]

she looks good in a weave too:

I always thought brown sugar was a thinly veiled reference to heroin.

Oh well. The back up singer is a heck of a lot more intriguing than a cube of drug laced sugar.....
