Famous Marxist Black Power Activist Finds Out She’s Descended from Whites, and It’s Must-See Television
What happens when a long-standing race activist and member of the black power movement finds out she’s descended from white people and the cameras are rolling? Must-see television happens.
Angela Davis, a self-proclaimed Marxist and person who has profited off sowing racial division for decades appeared on the PBS series “Finding Your Roots.” But while she was expecting to find out that she descended solely from the evils of the slave trade, it turns out that one of her earliest ancestors came over on the Mayflower.
According to PBS’ findings, Davis descended from William Brewster, who was white and one of the original signers of the Mayflower Compact. . .
“Do you know what you’re looking at? That is a list of the passengers on the Mayflower.”

At first, Davis clearly thinks Gates, the host of the PBS show, is joking. She confidently proclaims, “No, my ancestors did not come here on the Mayflower.” Her laughter and dismissiveness quickly diminished, though, as the reality of the situation settled in with Gates repeating the results of the genealogy test. Davis responds, “Oof. That’s a little bit too much to deal with right now.” (Read more from “Famous Marxist Black Power Activist Finds Out She’s Descended from Whites, and It’s Must-See Television” HERE)
