Former Communist Party USA member and prominent political activist Angela Davis appeared at Florida State University Tuesday to deliver a speech trashing the Trump administration.
Davis, speaking to a packed crowd that erupted into applause when she entered the auditorium, kicked off the start of the schools weeklong celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr., using the opportunity to express the disdain she believes King would have had for President Trump.
I bet Dr. King would be turning in his grave to know that Donald Trump is the President of the United States. Who wouldve thought that 30 years after his death, we would be dishonoring him by having a white supremacist in the peoples house, she said during the lecture.
At another point in her lecture, Davis took a shot at Trump for golfing on MLK Day, saying that instead of answering the calls of service, he played golf.
According to the university, the purpose of the weeks celebrations is to bring the FSU Tallahassee communities together to reflect on the past and challenge one another to be engaged in creating social justice and advocating for the civil rights of all.
Footage of attendees outside the event waiting to enter shows hundreds, if not thousands, of students waiting to listen to Davis, some of whom spoke with Campus Reform to express appreciation for her and her communist past.
One student, however, claimed that he was in support of Davis as a civil rights activist, not as a communist, but didnt object to her history with the Communist Party USA, saying everybody has the right to their own opinion.
The way that Marx wrote it is different than the way its been implemented, so I like the way Marx wrote it, not the way its been implemented, another student submitted as a justification for communisms questionable record, adding that I hate it when questioned on her views of capitalism.
Notably, in response to the lecture, a group of Republican students protested Davis talk outside the hall in an effort to show their peers why communism is an unacceptable ideology that will not be tolerated.
Rather than attempting to disrupt the event, however, the students arranged for their protest to end at the same time Davis was scheduled to begin speaking.
I bet Dr. King would be turning in his grave to know that Donald Trump is the President of the United States. Who wouldve thought that 30 years after his death, we would be dishonoring him by having a white supremacist in the peoples house, she said during the lecture.
All righted minded students and faculty should demand counseling and a designated grief room after allowing her to contaminate the campus. What on earth is their thinking on inviting such a loser?
I thought this commie whore was dead.
instead of answering the calls of service, he played golf.
Every day Trump sits in the Oval Office he is answering the call of service. He could be living large hanging out in Manhattan and Mar-a-lago, but instead took on a job that has had him called every name in the book by know-nothing idiots, and worse, like Angela Davis.
Angela Davis is an American political activist, academic, and author. She emerged as a leader of the Communist Party USA, and had close relations with the Black Panther Party .
During the 1980s, she was twice a candidate for Vice President on the COMMUNIST PARTY USA ticket.
As a result of purchasing firearms used in the 1970 armed take-over of a Marin County, California courtroom, in which four persons were killed, she was prosecuted for conspiracy.
She was a professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz, in its History of Consciousness Department and a former director of the university’s Feminist Studies department.
Davis’s membership in the CPUSA led California Governor Ronald Reagan in 1969 to attempt to have her barred from teaching at any university in the State of California. She supported the governments of the Soviet Bloc for several decades.
I bet Dr. King would be turning in his grave . . .”
Project much? If anything would make Dr. King turn in his grave it would be what the “civil rights” movement has turned into in the 21st century.
And so the Michael King hoax continues - absolutely appropriate for CPUSA to embrace him ..... plagiarist, communist-sympathizer, womanizer - of all people, WOMEN should be disgusted by this Degenerate, with his multiple prostitutes at a time, Im f-n for Jesus tonight ! Not my hero.
Florida State hosts communist Angela Davis for MLK Week
Like many of his/her peers, Sanchez has been intellectually raped and does not have a clue.
It is possible, of course, that some of us missed Angela's unqualified denouncement of the Party and all it stands for...but I doubt that occurred.
She should be.
The FSU college republicans were out there protesting her.
Thank you..The King deification on here is sickening..
Angie...
MLK was a Republican.
Bill Clinton was the president who was mentored by a segregationist.
She’s bad at math.
Did she ever speak out against Robert Byrd (D-KKK), a Klu Klux Klan recruiter and man who persisted in using the word nigger explaining it by saying that there are also white niggers.
>>She supported the governments of the Soviet Bloc for several decades.
How queer that Communists in America always claim that Russia, China, North Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, etc etc etc aren’t real Communism but they suck up to them all the same.
Ugly goes to the bone!
“I bet Dr. King would be turning in his grave to know that Donald Trump is the President of the United States”
So eat it, commie bitch & cop killer!
Why don’t ya come & take away our guns while you’re at it?
