Making her the first female in history to be put on such a list and basically making her be on par with the likes\u00a0 of<strong>Osama Bin Laden<\/strong>..This is beyond outrageous.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">How long have some in this government been fiending for Assata?\u00a0 30..35 years? Can you imagine if the FBI was this diligent about going after Wall Street Bankers who defrauded millions of people and tanked the economy or if they put $2 million dollar bounties out for war criminals who live right here in the US who purposely misled us into War where over a million lives were lost.. Yes, we are looking at you\u00a0<strong>George Bush<\/strong>,<strong>Dick Cheney<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Donald Rumsfeld<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Condi Rice<\/strong>\u00a0etc..<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">If were gonna talk about\u00a0<strong>Assata\u00a0<\/strong>and say she\u2019s a \u2018<em>cop killer<\/em>\u2018, let\u2019s be completely honest and put such accusations into perspective.. Everyone wants to forget that in the 60s and 70s the FBI and police declared War on the Black community and organizations that formed in the community to end oppression. The police and FBI went all out to destroy Black leaders and Black organizations with undaunted impunity. The reason why you had BPP (<strong>Black Panther Party<\/strong>), SNCC (<strong>Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee<\/strong>) and BLA (<strong>Black Liberation Army<\/strong>) was in response to police terrorism that saw them assassinating, brutalizing or jailing Panthers and members of other Black Power organizations left and right for little or no reason..So if we\u2019re gonna talk about Assata, let\u2019s talk the murders of unarmed\u00a0<strong>Fred Hampton<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Mark Clark<\/strong>?

Can we talk about how the FBI would send incendiary letters to different organizations in an attempt to pit folks against one another with the hope of creating rifts that would lead to bloodshed? Can we talk about campaigns used by the FBI to character assassinate important leaders. No one was off-limits.. Not\u00a0<strong>Dr Martin Luther king<\/strong>, Not Malcolm X, not Huey newton and Bobby Seale.. No one..<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">Let\u2019s talk about how this insidious Cointel-pro operation resulted in people still rotting in jail 25, 30 and even 40 years later, on questionable and trumped-up charges. Let\u2019s talk about political prisoners like the\u00a0<strong>Angola 3<\/strong>, now 2,\u00a0 who are not only locked up, but going on their second and third decades in solitary confinement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">Let\u2019s talk about the vicious, tortuous persecution of the government to go after and press new charges on former Panthers like the\u00a0<strong>SF 8<\/strong>, 30 years after the fact. let\u2019s talk about how these men all in their 70s had to undergo a trial with former police and FBI agents who once physically tortured them 30 years ago, being the officers to serve them new warrants.\u00a0 The SF 8 were all found innocent again, but it should be reminded, what they endured back in the turbulent 1960s and early 1970s was around the time that Assata Shakur and others like her hit the scene ready to push back on the overwhelming oppression.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">Let\u2019s talk about the fact that wanna the goals of the FBI\u2019s Cointel-Pro program was to prevent the rise of a charismatic Black leader and instead find someone who was safe and acceptable to lead the masses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Assata Shakur\" src=\"http:\/\/hiphopandpolitics.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/05\/screen-shot-2013-05-02-at-11-13-08-am.png?w=265&amp;h=300\" width=\"265\" height=\"300\" \/>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">$2 Million dollars to get Assata?

After all, entire communities were destroyed by this..<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">Do you honestly think folks like Assata woke up one day and said they wanted to go smash on brutalizing organizations like the police and FBI who out gunned them and outnumbered them? I don\u2019t think so.. Were people like Assata down make the sacrifice to defend themselves and their community from all the firebombings and other atrocities that were routinely occurring throughout the south by KKK while police turned a blind eye or even helped? Absolutely<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">Let\u2019s talk about the countless number of unarmed Black folks murdered at alarming rates by out of control police, many who were recruited from the south with the directive of keeping Black folks in a state of fear and in check..Lets get a 2 million dollar bounty for those sadistic officers<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">Can we talk about entire Black Towns destroyed by mobs of angry whites who saw our humanity as a threat.. places like Black Wall Street in Tulsa or Rosewood in Florida? Often times the police were right alongside when these horrors occurred.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">Bottom line don\u2019t talk about any \u2018wrong doings\u2019 by Assaata without underscoring state sponsored repression and the all out military and terrorist attacks on Black organizations and Black people at that time.. We can start by talking about with all the people gunned down by cops during the Newark Riots.. We can talk about folks like the late Geronimo Pratt (Jijaga) being framed and made to sit in jail for 30 years \u2026 There\u2019s along, long list.. Simply put, There ain\u2019t no innocent people wearing those badge so don\u2019t be fooled..Asaata a terrorist??
