the older i get the more i can understand why people back in the old fairytale days would just fuck off and be a hermit in the woods. just chilling out in the middle of nowhere and occasionally telling random heroes cryptic shit. living the fucking dream.
Retired Gen. Charles Krulak, a former local college president, issued a statement saying he was saddened by Davis’ selection and questioned whether she deserved the award. He referred to details from Wikipedia discussing Davis’ membership in the Communist Party in the 1980s and her support of Soviet bloc countries in the 1970s. The statement was posted to Facebook by Richard Friedman of the Birmingham Jewish Federation last week, but has since been removed:
In the Southern Jewish Life article, author Larry Brook took issue with Davis’ stance as an “outspoken voice in the boycott-Israel movement” and her comparing Israel’s treatment of Palestinians to police shootings of African-Americans.
Because her struggles and tireless work for Civil Rights here wasn’t enough. This is so evil and so evident of the kind of antiblackness that has permeated these spaces.
I’m livid. Honestly so fucking livid and so fucking tired.
She didn’t deserve this. The treatment of Palestinians in Isreal is very much like how black people were treated, and to deny that is racist. This is nothing but anti-blackness and racism, that’s all it is.
