Davis , 74, has spent decades fighting for civil rights. She was an active member of the Black Panther Party, Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and Communist Party USA.


The Black Panthers killed a few including the judge that she supplied the guns to the murderers. The Communists killed millions. She definitely is deserving of something but an honor? More likely a kick in her commie @ss.

She's nothing but a communist. Any work she did for civil rights was purely accidental. It's bad enough she's been rewarded with do-nothing academic posts for life. No museum awards!

She’s a filthy communist, anti-American and anti-Semitic scumbag.

I heard her speak as a college student in 1974. She rambled for 45 minutes, I found it hard to believe that she was a college professor.

Didn't she have David Horowitz's secretary killed?

The Black Panthers threatened to burn down the University of California if Angela wasn't made a professor there.

Professor Angela Davis

After Davis purchased firearms for personal security guards, those guards used them in the 1970 armed takeover of a Marin County, California courtroom, in which four people were killed.

She was acquitted by a California jury.

This is when the dingbats who had taken over the Presbyterian Church nationwide were shown up for the leftist scum that they were. Some leftwinger named Edler Hawkins was made Chief Moderator and authorized church funds to be used in Red Angela Davis’ defense. Many of the local congregations threatened to leave, including mine. The national church backed off in response to the firestorm but the damage was done with a long-term decline in membership - these arses were willing to fund lawyers for this filthy communist but they wouldn’t give a dime to support the troops at war in Vietnam.

Betty Van Patter, bookkeeper for the Black Panther Party.

She had worked for Ramparts. David Horowitz introduced her to the Panthers and she went to work for them.

Here’s David writing about who killed her, and the Left’s role in it:

I used to have her FBI wanted poster back around 1970 - ended up using it for target practice.

The greatest put down of any human being ever was Alexander Solzhenitsyn to Angela Davis's face, at an AFL-CIO conference in 1974:

There's a certain woman here named Angela Davis. I don't know if you are familiar with her in this country, but in our country, literally for one whole year, we heard of nothing at all except about Angela Davis. There was only Angela Davis in the whole world and she was suffering. We had our ears stuffed with Angela Davis. Little children in school were told to sign petitions in defense of Angela Davis. Little boys and girls, 5 and 9 years old in schools, were asked to do this.

Well... they set her free. Although she didn't have a rough time in this country, she came to recuperate in Soviet resorts. Some Soviet dissidents — but more important, 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 now have such authority. Could you help our Czech prisoners? Could you stand up for those persons 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's the heart of communism for you."

Thanks.

I read Radical Son by Horowitz.

It's amazing the crimes that were committed by the left during that period.

We have another Angela Davis on our hands, except that she attained power the ‘legal’ way, but through misleading people, and now, she’s the most popular and visible democrat, and most sought after ‘celebrity’ congressperson in Washington.

Both were/are equally dangerous, except one is not in hiding.

Look at this photo! Angela Davis supplied these guns!

When Davis was arrested, a Communist Dairy Farmer, RODGER MCAFEE, in California paid her bail. HE the bought himself one of the earl AR-15s on the market to protect himself.

She was acquitted by a California jury.

Because the FBI screwed up the case against her. Not the first time or last time the FBI has screwed up.

Assholes like her remain in your mind, but you don’t necessarily remember why. It really shocked me to hear she was a professor at a university. I wouldn’t want that person anywhere near my kids.

Angela Davis is a person that sticks out in my mind from the 60s or 70s, and I mean in a very negative way.

She was a grade A jackass back then. Almost surprised she lived until now.

AOC is nowhere close to being an Angela Davis.

AOC is playing at being a socialist. Angela Davis was a full on criminal and accessory to murder.
