1257: Doggy DNA

Angela Davis on Democracy Now and Systemic Racism

Activist and scholar Angela Davis appeared on Democracy Now to discuss the "conjuncture" of the COVID-19 pandemic and systemic racism. Davis, a self-described Marxist and former Black Panther, argued that the disproportionate deaths in Black and "Latinx" communities have rendered systemic flaws visible. The hosts criticize her rhetorical style and the academic encouragement of anti-American sentiment.
