Political activist to speak at ASU
November 17, 2008

Angela Davis, an American political activist and college professor who helped found the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, will be the guest speaker for this year's Ralph D. Abernathy Civil Rights Lecture Series at 7 p.m. Dec. 1 at the ASU Acadome.


The National Center for the Study of Civil Rights and African-American Culture at ASU will host the lecture series. This year's theme is "The Legacy of the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the Black Activist Movement."

Davis is an American political activist and university professor who is often associated with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, the Black Panthers Party for Self Defense, and with the black power politics of the late 1960s and early 1970s. She was an activist during the civil rights movement and joined the Communist Party USA when the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968. She ran for U.S. vice president on the Communist Party ticket in 1980.

The event is free and open to the public.

Some civil rights activists are communists and socialists.

Some people from Alabama are race-obsessed idiots.

I don't think that means there is a correlation.

From the book....Blacks & Reds:

In this important new study, Earl Ofari Hutchinson examines in detail the American Communist Party's efforts to win the allegiance of black Americans and the various responses to this from the black community. Beginning with events of the 1920s, Hutchinson discusses at length the historical forces that encouraged alliances between African Americans and the predominately white American Communist Party. He also takes an indepth look at why, and how, issues of class, party ideology, and racial identity stood in the way of a partnership of black leaders and communists in the United States. Blacks and Reds addresses landmark events surrounding associations between communists and black activists. Hutchinson examines, among other things, how Paul Robeson and W.E.B. DuBois's support of party activities affected their lives and how the Communist Party used the trial of Angela Davis to promote its own interests. His scope ranges from oft forgotten signs of misdirection, such as how communists' efforts to express racial sympathy in the early 1950s contributed to their own near destruction during the McCarthy era, to a thorough discussion of how the Party's effort to gain a foothold in Stokely Carmichael's SNCC, Malcolm X and Elijah Muhammad's Nation of Islam, Martin Luther King's SCLC, and Huey Newton and Eldridge Cleaver's Black Panthers shook up the civil rights movement by triggering the FBI's secret war against King, Malcolmi X, and others considered to be black radicals.

Plus, the original founder of the NAACP, W.E.B. DuBois, was a Communist.

I support Mike in his efforts.... why is it politically correct to hammer on a white guy as a racist, yet if you suggest that a black guy is a racist, you are just an ignorant hick?

Because if you understood racism fully you wouldn't have to ask that question. It has a lot more to do with power in a society than it does with simple prejudice.

And why would you be insulted to be called an ignorant hick? Your posts would seem to suggest that you revel playing one.

Ignorance can be cured with education. Unfortunately for you, Jigs, stupidity has no known cure.

Listen to the two of you..... One is in denial that Obama can't pass a FBI security clearance and the other about Obama being a radical anti-gun nut who lied when he said he supports gun rights. I wish I could live in the world of cotton candy clouds and chocolate rivers with you Liberals, but I seem to be rooted in reality.

You just can't seem to grasp that I don't believe that Obama is an "anti-gun nut" but would have voted for him anyway even if he was.

Yeah, you're right Alice.

I just have this strange little thought that if some kid interested in ranching or farming stumbles onto this cesspool they can see that not everyone who lives on the land and produces food is some sort of racist idiot redneck stereotype.

You don't believe because you don't want to. Examine his record. If he's not anti-gun, why would he ask questions about personal guns on a job application? What difference would that make?

I fear the idea that children today are influenced by passive fools, and evil liberals and one day they will come to me and ask "why don't we have enough to eat?" and I will say " because the ignorant masses let a guy into office who thought the world was too unfair, so he took away our guns, and took the productive base and killed it by wealth re distribution....and now we can not even defend ourselves."

Obama is a cancer, just wait. but I will be there, when the time comes, to fight to reclaim the country I love...and I will fight for you and all those who voted it away.

So, there it is, Jigs...EVIL liberals. If someone does not think like you...does not walk to the beat of your drum, that someone is EVIL. Amazing...

No more amazing than being called a racist simply for the fact that a person didn't vote for Obama
