From the Web site of the International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement, a notice of a gathering from 6 to 8 p.m. tonight (Wednesday, March 25) at the Uhuru House at 7911 MacArthur Blvd. in Oakland:
"Uphold the Resistance of the African Community as Represented by Brother Lovelle Mixon
Gather at 6pm at the Uhuru House
7911 MacArthur Blvd, Oakland
6:30 March to Eastmont Town Center
Rally & Return to the Uhuru House
Just like the resistance of Nat Turner and Gabriel Prosser, enslaved Africans once vilified and today considered heroes, African people in Oakland have a right to struggle against this government-imposed terror. Like the missiles launched from Gaza and the Iraqi resistance forces, African people will rightfully fight to free themselves against oppression in every form.
We call on the citizens of Oakland to unite with the demands raised by the Uhuru Movement for genuine economic development to the African working class community, for reparations for the families of victims of police violence, for a community controlled police review board with subpoena powers and for an immediate end to these failed public policies of police containment which have brought so much suffering to the African community for so long.
We call on Oakland citizens to join us in rejecting the knee-jerk criminalization of the oppressed African community by the city and state governments, and in recognizing that in order to go forward as a city we must unite in the quest for economic and social justice for the African community."
Richman: I don't think many Oaklanders have a problem with calls for economic development and tight citizen oversight of police, but I'd think most Oaklanders do have a big problem with trying to justify and show solidarity with the murder of police officers.
Sick! Just plain sick!
Wow. These people are seriously messed up.
Especially naming their movement after a Starfleet officer.
This is what the folks in California have to deal with. If you do not want this sort of
sickness to spread to the rest of the nation, take action NOW! Get involved with
your local conservative groups.
FRmail me for details on how you can make a difference.
Google the issue of Ebony with her on the cover.
I suspect this garbage is homegrown, with frequent applications of you-know-what for fertilizer.
Thank you.
DU was also saying the cops deserved it.
Beat me to it.
I’m just too slow.
Someone is asleep at the switch this can't be allowed to continue.
Race baiting Barack supporters.
yup. or Earth First or bumper stickers that say “Death to the Infidels!”
I always had a thing for her as a pre-teen.
Made Star Trek even more enjoyable at the time.
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me lucifer
cause Im in need of some restraint....
Jagger/Richards
I think we know who members of the DU worship....
Those Uruhu members are welcome to go back to Africa. I’d even pitch into the expatriation fund.
