There are many
writings on websites and blogs in support of Sister Assata Shakur. I
thought it ample coverage but, then thought how could I on this Mother’s Day
celebration, celebrate the motherhood of my Black sisters without addressing
this affront against Black women all over the world.
Accusations of
terrorism are the new COINTELPRO. This accusation
was sanctioned by America's First African American President and his African
American Attorney General. This is an affront to Black women all over the world,
including America’s First Lady. Accusations of terrorism are being used to stifle
dissent as our government and its military complex has brought the wars home to
roost against the American people.
First the term
"terrorist" must be made and seen as the bogus oppressive concept
that it is. It is a term used against those who fight back. It is a sandbox
name calling, with connotations that if believed will manipulate the oppressor’s soldiers
to do the oppressor’s bidding. It is a medieval prelude to a guilty and never
proof of innocence; no evidence seeking; no truth seeking; off with their heads
way of disposing of those who disagree. Sister Shakur is being tarred and
feathered through the use of this bogus meaningless overused term.

In Her Own Words
http://www.democracynow.org/2013/5/3/assata_shakur_in_her_own_words
Black is a state
of mind held by some African Americans.
It is not an automatic passage.
It is taught to you by your Black parents, Black communities and other
Black family members. It is a belief and
practice. There was no one to teach Blackness to President Obama. He is a huge disappointment to those that
wanted a Black President. We do not have
one. He is not Malcolm, Dr. King,
Frederick Douglas, WEB Dubois or Fred Hampton.
He continues what 240 years of White male Presidents have damned on
Black America. Instead of having a Black
President free the Black community of oppressive drug laws, we the mindset of one
that uses laws to oppress even more.
Why now? Why him?
Why them? Is it the usual get a
person of the same to do it so it cannot be blamed on the real perpetrator?
As they continue to tar and feather Black women as during
slavery, let us not sit idle and buy into these propagandist lies against
Sister Shakur. This is affront committed
by the organization of White men who shot into the Black Panther Head Quarters to
kill Fred Hampton. His Black pregnant queen
was seen a just collateral damage as they tried to take her dignity. When President Obama was first elected, White
male media attacked and redressed his wife with a huge pot of black tar. Fortunately Black queens survive.
After imprisoning so many Black men, this opens the door to
now do the same for Black women. This will
destroy Black families and their children even more. It will orphan our children. It will lead our youth left abandon by our
government at the mercy of a life controlled by the prison complex.
Happy Mother’s Day to all my sisters of the world. Peace
to you and your families.
