School of Hate: Uhuru Charter School

[Tom]

Your tax dollars may once again go to work building the Uhuru Movement.

Taxpayers have funded this violent hate group that led the demonstration last year to honor a murderer who killed 4 Oakland police officers. The city of St. Pete has provided them with staff, services and a federal block grant. They are now preparing an application for state funding to open a charter school.

As far as I know the school board has not asked them to renounce violence as a condition of this funding.

For too long this hate group has gone under the radar of the news media, posing as a group out to help the poor and oppressed. The only ones they help are criminals who prey on poor black residents.

The Uhuru gang is actually a group of white communists, radicals and cult members who support a small black front group. They pretend that youth gangs who throw rocks and bottles at officers in St. Petersburg Florida are part of a revolutionary insurrection.

No, they are not the black community in South St. Pete or anywhere else. They take advantage of sloppy reporting to create that false impression. Black people want to be safe from crime. They take advantage of friction between black residents and law enforcement to drive a wedge, push the "No Snitch" code and make friends with hoodlums.

Accurate reporting and public scrutiny will expose this nonsense.

Take a look at the little bit of honest reporting done on them and please spread the word. Here are some links on the Uhurus:

It is disturbing that the killer of four Oakland police officers is deemed a “hero” by Uhuru.

Anti-Defamation League (page 18) lists them with groups that "possess ideologies based on hate and intolerance".

25 years of organizing in Philadelphia has built a movement of a dozen mostly white radicals with a black spokesman who justified the murder of a police officer.

40 years of violence in their home town.

This article describes activity at the proposed school campus; "a local gang called the 8 Hype Boys and was involved in a gang shooting the day before Paris' death. They accused him of shooting at a Bethel Heights member at a party at Uhuru House on 18th Avenue S."

I lost patience in sifting through all the gobbledygook. Just cut to the chase and tell us what this has to do with Hillsborough County.

Besides paying state taxes to support this group it does not have much impact on you.

They have been a disruptive force in the past and would like to be again in the future. They have tried to organize in Tampa and broadcast a radio program over there but have never attracted more than a handful of followers. The city has had enough sense not to put up with their threats or demands.

The Uhurus fought to keep one of their members in public housing and have cost you over $100,000 of tax money by litigating against President Clinton's "One Strike" or "Zero Tolerance" policy. This policy was designed to make it easier for local housing authorities to evict tenants when a family member was involved in "drug-related criminal activity on or near public housing premises."

By delaying the implementation of this policy they made it harder to keep the projects from breeding crime.

They are a major proponent of the "No Snitch" rule. Last June when 2 Tampa officers were murdered three black women who tried to come to their aid were later threatened and ridiculed by neighborhood thugs who felt comfortable attacking anyone who cooperates with police.

Connie Burton , Plaintiff-Appellant , v. Tampa Housing Authority , United States of America, Defendants-Appellees ., 271 F.3d 1274 (11th Cir. 2001), Federal Circuits, Docket Number: 00-13607 http://vlex.com/vid/connie-burton-ta...#ixzz15D2M0SXk

They are nothing but a 100% HATE GROUP, who if were NON-African American would be labeled as such by local governments. Imagine if a opposite group was formed that zeroed in on African American law enforcement officers working in white communities. OH MY, everyone would be up in arms and threatening the jobs of any government worker or government organization that supported them. Better yet, imagine if a gymnasium was named after a white criminal driving a stolen car, who tried to run down a African American officer and had to be shot. What a PREJUDICIAL DOUBLE STANDARD there is in place in this community and many locations througout the country.
