BY: LEON KWASI KUNTUO-ASARE

A black man from Dallas, Texas, who represents the Black Men for Bernie organization, ventured up to Detroit, Michigan to speak with voters, who were predominantly African-American, economically disenfranchised and democrats.

Most of the people he spoke to were planning on voting for Hillary Clinton, even though they knew almost nothing about her politics or that the Clintons past policies went against the interests of the African-American community.

Like her “Super Predator theory ” speech she used to advocate for harsher laws on crime that disproportionately effected black people.

Locking blacks up in for profit prisons for mostly nonviolent drug offenses, that most white people would get a slap on the wrist for or be given court ordered rehab.

Neither did they know about the
Clintons welfare reform policy, their mass incarceration bills or the Trade deal Bill Clinton did with China or his NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) bill, that took away many of the manufacturing jobs in Detroit and brought them to China and Mexico.

Transforming Detroit from one of the most successful predominantly African-American cities, to one of the poorest in the nation.

He educated them on Bernie Sanders’ history of risking his life and going to jail to fight for civil rights alongside many civil rights freedom fighters, including Martin Luther King Jr.

And his current fight for social justice, which includes police brutality and systematic racism.

He informed them on Bernie Sanders battles with Washington’s political elites to get tax funded healthcare and college education for all tax paying Americans, two things most poor and economically disenfranchised blacks can’t afford.
To no one’s surprised, most people changed their vote from Hillary Clinton to Bernie Sanders.

BLACK HISTORY SPOTLIGHT: ASSATA SHAKUR!

assata quote

BY: LEON KWASI KUNTUO-ASARE

Assata Olugbala Shakur (born Joanne Deborah Byron) was born in Jamaica, Queens, New York, on the 16th of July 1947.

While attending the Borough of Manhattan Community College and later City College of New York, she would begin her political activism career, by getting involved in black student political activities, student sit-ins and various protests ( including anti-war protests).

After graduating from CCNY, she would join the Black Panther Party (BBP) and would eventually become a prominent member of the Harlem Branch of the BPP.

Eventually she would leave the Black Panther Party and would join the Black Liberation Army (BLA), which was an underground group created out of the backlash from the aggressive, racist,brutal and often times illegal practices from local Police and the FBI (Cointelpro), who infiltrated black political organizations and even took part in the assassinations of Black Panther Party leadership, including Fred Hampton, the Deputy Chairman of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party.

In 1973 Assata Shakur was allegedly involved in a shootout with police at a New Jersey turnpike, in which she was accused of killing New Jersey State trooper Werner Foerster and assaulting trooper James Harper.

In a four year period, from 1973-1977, Shakur would be indicted on six crimes, which included murder, attempted murder, armed robbery, bank robbery and kidnapping. The result would be three dismissals and three acquittals.

In 1977 she would be convicted of the murder of Foerster and seven other felonies related to the turnpike shootout.

In the 1970’s Shakur would be incarcerated in several prisons. She would escape prison in 1979, eventually fleeing to Cuba, where she would be given political asylum.

The FBI currently has Shakur listed as a domestic terrorist and she has a 2 million dollar reward for her capture.

To this day Assata still insists she is innocent of all charges.

When he was first spotted, dressed similar to Star wars super villian Darth Vader , at the Kronan school in Trollhattan, Sweden , some students thought he was doing a Halloween prank and a few even took pictures with him, as he played strange music and carried a sword.

A 14 year old student named Laith told Swedish state broadcaster svt: ” when we first saw him we thought it was a joke, there were pupils who wanted to take pictures with him and feel the sword.”

The man who is believed by police to have white supremacist motives, would use that sword to do deadly harm to people at the school, killing two and injuring others.

The lead investigator, Thord Haraldsson, told Journalist: “Everything points to this being a hate crime. He selected his victims and attacked the dark-skinned ones and left the light-skinned ones alone.”

Based on a suicide note he had racist and neo-nazi views.

Neo-Nazism has been on the rise in Sweden, in fact the Sweden Democrats, a party with neo-nazi roots, has become Sweden’s most popular political party.
