But whatever one thinks of Davis’s domestic militancy,her true claim to infamy is her career as an apologist for repressive communist regimes. During her 18 months in jail, Davis became a heroine across the Soviet bloc; for communist states frequently criticized for imprisoning dissidents, a perceived “political prisoner” in the United States was a godsend. After her release, Davis was feted in East Germany (a 1972 photo shows her shaking hands with then-General Secretary Erich Honecker, whose orders to shoot people trying to escape the socialist paradiseby crossing the border into West Germany resulted in over 1,000 deaths), in Cuba, and in the Soviet Union, where she was awarded the Lenin Peace Prize in 1979, just months before the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
It takes some cheek to mount a protest against Trump with a speaker who was twice honored by Leonid Brezhnev's Soviet Union.

The march was about women's rights. None of your bullshit 'commentators' had anything critical to say about Angela Davis' opinions on women's rights.


You need a cranio-rectal extraction.


William Shockley was lauded as one of the inventors of the transistor. His opinions about physics and transistors are respected to this day. His opinions about race are richly and rightly derided.

There's a clue there.
