White man in the woodpile link
Birmingham native and civil rights activist Angela Davis, known as a part of the Black Power movement of the early 1970s, was shocked to learn that she is descended from a passenger on the Mayflower, one of the first settlers in America.
Henry Louis Gates Jr., host of the PBS program, “Finding Your Roots,” revealed Davis’ ancestry on a show that aired Tuesday night.
Davis’ 10th great-grandfather, tracing back through her father’s white father, Murphy Jones, was William Brewster, born in England in about 1570, Gates said.
Gates had Davis read about Brewster, who sailed in 1620 as one of the first settlers in America.
“That is a list of passengers on the Mayflower,” Gates said.
“No, I can’t believe this,” Davis said. “My ancestors did not come here on the Mayflower.”
“You are descended from one of the 101 people who sailed on the Mayflower,” Gates said.
Looks like Ms Davis owes reparations.

They are so pathetic and thoroughly brainwashed.
