Angela Davis1970 in the African-American psyche felt like many years prior: two steps forward and one step back. The struggle for equality was still underway as evidenced by Angela Davis’ arrest. But 1970 marked many firsts for African-Americans, including the first Black Pulitzer Prize winner, Charles Gordone, and the first Black contestant in the Miss American pageant, Cheryl Browne.

    Angela Davis and George Jackson……Pres. Obama look more like him than he do Malcolm. To me.

    Can I drop the bomb— Oh yes I can
    Move with the groove, smooth like Geechie Dan
    Who is the man — That kid there
    Who is the chick with the pick in her hair?
    Angela, uhh Davis, and we roll like Avis
    Rent-a-Car kid, there you are

    WHERE ARE YOU BLACK WO-MEN REBELS TODAY?

    Has the caucasoids turned you against your Black man? These are the ONLY articles that this site promotes is DIVISION!!! Just look at the articles NEWSFUN prints for us to read…NOTHING, BUT NEGATIVITY and negroids fall for this bulls**t!

    THIS IS A PLAN!

    The negroid fe-male now wants to look, act, and marry rich white boys, like cracker fe-males! I had a negroid fe-male tell me, that her booty was too big and she is going to DEFLATE it, just so she can look like a caucasoid gal…these are HER WORDS, not mine!

    This is how brainwashed a lot of negroid fe-males have become and it is getting worse. This is why this caucasoid site is promoting all this division, so our Black wo-men will become brainwashed, like the negroid fe-males!

    Angela Davis Lives!

    CHECK:

    Most negroid fe-males in the uNUTed snakes are afraid to be AFRIKAN, a remnant of the brutal slave system they still endure.

    GET BACK TO BLACK…QUICK!
