Angela Davis, a former Communist Party USA leader and Black Panther, as well as a former member of FBI's Top Ten Most Wanted, recently spoke at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. Her speech, entitled "Freedom is a Constant Struggle: Why Movements for Social Justice Support Palestine," was far from impartial or fair.
Her speech was co-sponsored by the Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), the GW Black Student Union and GW Feminist Student Union. It was to kick off SJP's ‘Palestine Awareness Week' to promote awareness about the occupation of Palestine.
Per Campus Reform, Davis did not mince words when it came to Israel. She said, "Remember, the United States of America is also a settler colonial nation" similar to Israel and occupied Palestine. She wondered why it is "wrong to criticize the state of Israel" and that she and others "say no to Israel's ethnic cleansing strategies." She said that today is the time for "the dismantling of the era of Israeli occupation of Palestine. It has been long and coming." Davis added, "In standing up against the racism of the state of Israel, we are passionately saying no to anti-Semitism as well."
She claimed that Israel buys the same tear gas to use against Palestinians as the police officers in Ferguson, Missouri and that Americans get "their anti-terror policies from Israel." Davis continued and criticized Israel for not being “welcoming to queer Palestinians who call for justice for their people.” [By the way, one of the gay Palestinians Israel welcome will be speaking at an upcoming AIA Author's Night]
Davis blasted the prison system, "I consider myself a prison abolitionist," since "reform doesn’t work." She claimed, "The more reformed it has become, the more repressive it has become" because it is a "gendered institution with a gender binary structure." She said that the "abolition of the prison will also entail the abolition of gender policing." In her mind, "Palestine is the largest open air prison" and America "is a prison nation."
From what I read about her quotes, that b!tch is just crazy. Whatever time she got, it wasn’t enough.
“Settler Colonial Nation[s]”
And yet, she continues to colonize and settle in one. How does she live with herself?
Social justice to her and her kind means we’re in charge and are immune from crimes we commit.
If you hate this country, you will get very very rich by preaching your hatred for it. You will avoid paying the penalty for your crimes. You will get a high-paying job and get to write books that are published by big publishers.
If you love this country, they won’t let you into college unless it’s because they need your money; you won’t be able to get a job; you will never have a book published; you will be harassed for your views.
Do these people actually believe this stuff or is it all a knowing farce?
At age 25 she might have believed this crap, but once you get to age 70 or 80, one would think she’d either get a clue or laugh and confess that she was just making this crap up and enjoying the fun of deluding gullible college girls and dope smoking nitwits.
Being called “colonial” or a “colonizer” has the white guilt folks running for the exits.
For my part, I disagree with the premise but say “so f**ing what.” North America was unpopulated other than by tribal sometimes cannibalistic savages who, if they could not accommodate the white European Pilgrims, should have been exterminated. they were not due to the missionary work of Christians making some of these savages appear tamed. Too bad. They had 10,000 years to make something of this country other than a battle ground among their tribes.

What/where is Palestine?
Yes, she should patronise another Jonestown.
LOL ! She speaks of freedom. She wouldn’t know freedom if it smacked her in the ass with a snow shovel. To her freedom just means a change of masters.
She endorsed Jim Jones and Jonestown. She should never open her mouth about freedom.
That photo looked familiar, so I googled “angela davis, guns.” Then I recalled the courtroom hostage incident that resulted in the death of Judge Harold and three others.
“Haley was apparently hit by fire from a sawed-off shotgun that had been fastened to his neck with adhesive tape by the abductors.”
The repulsive communist bitch should have swung from a rope a long time ago. But no — in America we give the likes of her nice jobs and honor.
I think it’s in Texas
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

STFU and croak already.
The leader of the Flaming Circle (couldn’t find his name by googling, and Wiki says it was the Golden Circle) became famous during the war twixt the states preaching his hatred of the Union and praising the Confederacy. So Abe Lincoln sent him to the place he preferred, which he soon began preaching against.
