Black Panthers-linked Marxist professor just found out that she is the descendant of a slave owner and a Mayflower settler — and can't handle the news

Angela Davis is a Marxist University of California professor who won the Soviet Union's Lenin Peace Prize and was once accused of supplying weapons to a black supremacist who went on to murder Superior Court Judge Harold Haley and two inmates.

The 79-year-old identitarian, one of the founders of critical race theory and a former Black Panther, was shocked to learn on Tuesday's episode of PBS' "Finding Your Roots" that she is the descendant of a slave owner as well as of one of America's first settlers.

Henry Louis Gates Jr., the host of the documentary television series that explores guests' genealogies, provided the geriatric communist with a list of the passengers on the Mayflower. Among the 101 people aboard the ship that sailed to the colonies in 1620 was one of Davis' ancestors, William Brewster.

Davis appeared unwilling to process the information, saying, "No, I can't believe this. No! My ancestors did not come here on the Mayflower. ... No. No, no, no, no. ... Oof. That's a little bit too much."

Gates interrupted Davis' protest to ask, "Did you ever in your wildest dreams think that you may have descended from people who laid the foundation for this country?"

Davis previously suggested that "racism is embedded in the fabric of this country."

"Never. Never. Never. Never," Davis told Gates.

According to Gates, on her mother's side, Davis descends from a Revolutionary War soldier, Stephen Darden, who was a drummer for the 4th Virginia regiment in the 1770s. Darden reportedly moved to Georgia and became a slave owner.

For those unfamiliar with the case, SHE bought the guns to use in this Marin County Court breakout!

The FBI had her nailed but then they screwed up the case and she walked.

A Communist dairy farmer in California posted bail for her. LIFE magazine carried a big spread about him at the time. when he received death threats he bought himself an AR-15 for protection. Page 73 “Parting Shots” of this issue with Brando on the cover.

God has a fantastic sense of humor.

Maybe this race-baiting marxist will undergo a conversion.

Most black Americans have a white ancestor.
It also makes them very unique.

It’s OK. Angela’s ancestor sold his slaves to Obama’s ancestor.

So tie yourself to a tree and kill yourself with a gun that doesn’t exist.

Isn't odd tat people key in the Marxist war against America like Ayers, Davis. etc. were freed after being caught because the FBI just happened to screw up?
The question is were these people part of the Federal govt underground effort to take over America?
Call me a a conspiracy nut, but look at the FBI involvement in the Whitmer and Jan 6th cases.
Both involved FBI and govt involvement.

Aside from Davis’s hilarious discovery that there was a “whitey in the woodpile” of her genealogy, there were also over 4,000 BLACK slave OWNERS in colonial America. AND…the British didn’t only enslave black Africans; they also enslaved thousands of WHITE people from Ireland.

It’s ridiculous that we even talk about this subject at all in 2023. EVERYONE was involved in some way on BOTH sides of the slave trade. There were black slaves and white slaves, there were white slave owners and there were black slave owners. Even the vaunted “native Americans” routinely took slaves from rival tribes they defeated in battle, as did the African ancestors of today’s “African Americans.” In fact, the North American slave trade may not have happened at all if not for the black African tribal chiefs, who had their rivals rounded up and caged on the beaches of west Africa, to be picked up by Dutch slave traders.

They have no problem getting convictions on patriots with the flimsiest of evidence, but they can’t convict even one high profile communist terrorist.

You’re not a conspiracy theorist..

William Brewster and Stephen Darden helped make this country possible!

I hope that Angela Davis can process this information!!

Thanks for posting that reminder when her name comes up.

Like so many terrorists from that era, she was elevated to superstar status and given great power to shape the future by our institutions.
