WHITE SUPREMACIST TERRORIST KILLS NINE PEOPLE IN SOUTH CAROLINA CHURCH! (ARTICLE )

image

BY: LEON KWASI KUNTUO-ASARE

In yet another case of white supremacist domestic terrorism, nine people were massacred at the historic Methodist Episopal Church, in South Carolina, during bible study, at around 9pm Wednesday night.

Luckily but not surprisingly for the good citizens of that area, the armed and dangerous white supremacist suspect Dylann Roof was arrested without a single bullet being fired by the police on Thursday morning.

Unfortunately we have to keep in mind this is not an isolated incident and is just another in a long list of domestic terrorism attacks inflicted against the black community, just to name a couple of the “Move bombing in Philadelphia in 1985” or the “TULSA RACE RIOT IN 1921”.

NAACP SPOKANE CHAPTER PRESIDENT OUTED AS WHITE! ( ARTICLE )

BY:LEON KWASI KUNTUO-ASARE

I personally don’t have an issue with a white person being head of a NAACP chapter or or any civil rights organization. In fact one of my favorite freedom fighters of all time is the white abolitionist John Brown, who killed and was killed fighting to free black slaves from his fellow white countrymen. That being said if the allegations by the mother of the president of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP are true, about her daughter Rachel Dolezal being white and not black, as she portrays herself, then she should be fired for her dishonesty, and we black people should feel ashamed that a white person can easily infiltrate one of our most prestigious organizations and even make it to chapter president by getting a tan and wearing her hair in curls or braids, which I guess is not as hard as some people may think, when you think about the fact that black people still follow the outdated one drop rule, giving to us during slavery ( which states if a person has one drop of black blood, then that person is black). The fact is Mrs. Dolezal seems to be a good person that cares about the African-American community in her area, she is married to a black man and they have adopted several black kids. That is not the issue. The issue is what if she wasn’t a nice person, what if she was an undercover white supremacist, she could of helped sabotage the over 100 year old civil rights organization. This is a reminder that as an oppressed people fighting for justice and equality, we better be more selective in the people we select to lead us.

THE DEVIOUS LOBBYING DEEDS OF FOR PROFIT PRISONS! (ARTICLE )

image

BY:LEON KWASI KUNTUO-ASARE

One industry that has been able to do a lot of political lobbying on the down-low without all the backlash that oil and pharmaceutical companies receive is the for profit prison industry.

The two largest and most powerful for profit prison companies, GEO and Corrections Corporation Of America since 1989 have spent more than $10 million to support candidates that they wanted in office and have spent $25 million on various lobbying efforts.

Not surprisingly these two private prison earn $3.3 billion a year, with government prison contracts, now that the prison population has more than doubled from 2000 to 2010, a report by the justice policy institute states.

Corporate prisons now hold almost half of all illegal immigrants detainees and their are now about 130 corporate prisons nationwide.

One example of how influential these private prisons lobbies are is , while Republican Presidential candidate Marco Rubio was leading the Florida house of Representatives, GEO was awarded a state contract worth $110 million dollars, not surprisingly Rubio had currently received nearly $40,000 in campaign donations from GEO.

Private prisons also tend to lobby for laws that support their business, like California’s three-strike rule and Arizona’s highly controversial anti-illegal immigration law.

If the growing influence of private prisons continue, private prisons will become the worst accepted injustice since slavery!

UNCHARGED BUT TRAUMATIZED EX-TEEN PRISON INMATE KALIEF BROWDER KILLS HIMSELF! ( ARTICLE )

image

BY: LEON KWASI KUNTUO-ASARE

Kalief Browder, who was a young New York man of only 22, killed himself on Saturday.

The young man suffered mentally for years after spending three in Rikers prison without charge, since he was 16, even though there was no proof he committed the crime he was accused of (stealing a backpack) and the person who accused him of the crime, repeatedly changed his story. At Rikers he became traumatized after he was not only beaten by prison gangs and prison guards, but he also suffered two years of solitary confinement, which often times makes inmates go insane, if in there for an extended amount of time.

He attempted to get mental health treatment several times while in prison, but was always denied.

R.I.P BROTHER!!

ACCORDING TO FORMER UNITED STATES PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER, WHITE AMERICANS STILL FEEL SUPERIOR TOWARDS MINORITIES! ( ARTICLE )

image

BY: LEON KWASI KUNTUO-ASARE

Despite living in this so-called utopian “Post Racial America”, America still is pretty f#cking racist.

In a recent interview with the AARP, former American president Jimmy Carter said many Americans ( Whites) still feel a sense of superiority towards minorities.

He said the United States is still lacking in terms of protecting and ensuring civil rights for all its citizens.

Mr. Carter stated: ” The recent publicity about the mistreatment of black people in the Judicial and police realm has been a reminder that dreams of the civil rights movement have not been realized. ”

BY : LEON KWASI KUNTUO-ASARE

  In another tragic case of white on white violent crime, on sunday afternoon May 17, 2015 several white supremacist motorcycle gangs got into a shot out. There were at least five gang factions involved and 9 people were murdered while 18 were injured as a result of the guns, chains, clubs and knives used in the Waco, Texas motorcycle gang melee.
When police arrived they set up a command center to interview , arrest and process the biker thugs involved in the mini massacre. Fortunately for the murderous gang members, unlike the Baltimore and Ferguson protestors, who killed no one, the national guard was not called and Waco was not occupied like Iraq, even though there were over a 100 weapons recovered .

In the so-called liberal and tolerant city by the bay, eight San Francisco law enforcement officers have been suspended and are expected to be fired for sending out racist and homophobic texts.

The discovery raises issues on whether the officers have abused their authority in the past toward ethnic minorities and the gay population.

The ugly messages were uncovered during a federal corruption investigation.

BY: LEON KWASI KUNTUO-ASARE

  A throwback to the days of Malcolm X and Marcus Garvey, local bay area activist out of East Oakland California, Shawn Wolf hopes to accomplish with his charity the “Bay area black community” what his two predecessors could not, and that’s group economics and a thriving middle class in the African-American community.

On his website Wolf states: “The Bay Area Black Community is dedicated to the economic empowerment, education & training of the Black African extended family…. including our history; with emphasis on re-establishing our kinship to one another! ”

Wolf’s organization is only about a year old and they have already started to impact the economically disenfranchised East Oakland black community, holding their first Town Hall meeting and Job Fair at William Chapel Missionary Baptist Church February 28, 2015 , with plans for a second event on May 16, 2015.

OBAMA WAS RIGHT, CHRISTIAN RIGHT! ( ESSAY )

image

BY:LEON KWASI KUNTUO-ASARE

As much as the white christian right community, might try to pretend that President Barack Obama’s comments at the National prayer Breakfast a couple weeks ago were offensive, when he stated: ” In our country , slavery and Jim crow all to often was justified in the name of Christ”.

Not only were President Obama’s statements not offensive, they were accurate and damn near an under statement.

What he should of said, is evil things are being done in the name of Islam, the same way evil things have been done in the name of Christ, for example:

1. The Crusades
2.slavery
3.Genocide of Native Americans
4. Jim Crow
5. Lynchings
6. Colonialism
combined killed tens of milions of people in the name of Christ.

Don’t get me wrong, what terrorist groups like ISIS are doing, is evil and they must be stopped, but before we are so quick to blame it all on Islamic terrorism, maybe we the people should take a look in the mirror and think how American imperialism is making us enemies throughout the world. I.S.I.S did not even exist until the united States unlawfully attacked Iraq, despite not being sanctioned by the United Nations and the international community. Since the beginning of the war, hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis have died as collateral damage and many of the Sunnis who held government positions were disenfranchised by the U.S and it’s puppet regime.

So yes, we must stop Islamic extremism, as soon as we stop American and western Imperialism, or the cycle of violence will never end.
