Didn't BO appoint some czar of social media and technology recently?
As for the riots, there was a post this evening from Fred Nerks regarding a statement by Rashid(?) Muhammed(?) (commenting on the death of Malcolm X) that the 1992 Los Angeles riots could be credited to the Islamic Socialism movement. Is there a connection with the more recent riots?
The Following essay was written by Rasheed Muhammad the Supreme Guide of Proletarian Islam in the year 1994 in the aftermath of the great Black Proletarian La Rebellion in Los Angles CA and the revived interest in the life and work of Malcolm X at that time in history and the release of the Spike Lee biopic of his life...
EXCERPT:
We must forever be thankful to Malcolm X for paving the way for the new Islam Proletarian Islam. That we are now building and which will ultimately liberate the Black Nation and the Islamic ummah and the overall third world in general. the religion of Islam is now the fastest growing religion in the world and this is very much so in North America within the Black Nation Islam was the religion of our African ancestors who built such glorious Black Islamic civilizations such as the Moorish empire of north Africa and Spain as well as the west African Islamic states of Ghana Mali and Songhai Kanem Bornu among many other great Black Islamic Empires and kingdoms in Africa. the black youth are now embracing the great Islamic heritage of our African ancestors. as is show by the widespread and rapid spread of Islam within the many Black inner city communities across north America and now we are seeing the spread of Islam within rural Black communities within the United State as well the Black Nation has no permanent future under the rule of the White United States government we must now separate and form our own independent Black Nation right here in North America. the only way that we can win and gain our independent Black State is though the means of a Chinese style Maoist People War like the one that Chairman Mao Zedong led to victory in China over some 40 years ago. Black youth have shown by the LA Rebellion that they are ready willing and able to wage violent armed struggle against the United State Government...

On December 20, 1964 at the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem, Malcolm X declared, “Oginga Odinga [the Vice President of recently-liberated Kenya] is not passive. He’s not meek. He’s not humble. He’s not nonviolent. But he’s free.”
This fact was part of a larger object lesson that Malcolm X had for Black Americans:
“...Jomo Kenyatta, Oginga Odinga, and the Mau Mau will go down as the greatest African patriots and freedom fighters that that continent ever knew, and they will be given credit for bringing about the independence of many of the existing independent states on that continent right now. There was a time when their image was negative, but today they’re looked upon with respect and their chief is the president and their next chief is the vice president.
I have to take time to mention that because, in my opinion, not only in Mississippi and Alabama, but right here in New York City, you and I can best learn how to get real freedom by studying how Kenyatta brought it to his people in Kenya, and how Odinga helped him, and the excellent job that was done by the Mau Mau freedom fighters. In fact, that’s what we need in Mississippi. In Mississippi we need a Mau Mau. In Alabama we need a Mau Mau. In Georgia we need a Mau Mau. Right here in Harlem, in New York City, we need a Mau Mau.
I say it with no anger; I say it with very careful forethought...”
