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 killer who murdered 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 they incite to who throw rocks and bottles at officers in St. Petersburg 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. Uhurus 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 possibly related to the murder of an 8-year-old child; "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."

As we grieve for our fallen officers in St. Pete the one politician who celebrates murder of law enforcement officers is about to open a school with your tax money.

State of Florida and Pinellas School Board to fund charter school for radical who has praised cop killers, mass murderers and crack dealers.

From the website Yes, But However:

Yeshitela has been a radical revolutionary for five decades.
These are Yeshitela’s views, in his own words.

Regarding a local pastor’s charge that Yeshitela was attempting to incite violence in the community
We’ve heard these charges coming from Murphy’s church and other negroes that the Uhurus are trying to incite something. They say that after they killed someone in our community, we put out these flyers in an attempt to incite something. They’re right. They’re right because the people need to be incited and excited about murder in our community. People need to be. So we say they will pay a price, and we want you excited by this. We want you incited to do something about this. (The Burning Spear, June 2005)
On violence against the police
In order to stop the police from hurting members of the community, people threw rocks and bottles at police to cover people’s escape from the police attack. As the night went on AK-47 fire could be heard as shots were taken at the police helicopter. Other skirmishes with police were reported throughout the night.
There is a long pattern and history of police murdering African people all across the U.S. There is not a recent pattern however, of a righteously militant response to such murders — except in St. Petersburg, Florida, the headquarters of the Uhuru Movement and the growing resistance to U.S. imperialism and colonialism within U.S. borders.
In every instance of police murder since the 1996 killing of 18-year-old TyRon Lewis, the justice that the African community has been denied in the courts, has been fought for in the streets. During the rebellions of 1996, which spanned two months, everyday African youth, who were called the “ghostfaces” because they covered their faces with t-shirts and bandannas, shot down a helicopter, burned police substations, media vehicles and anything that represented white power. The masses of people also opened fire on a battle group of 300 police. The ferocity of the community’s organized and calculated strikes against U.S. police troops represents the cutting edge of resistance to a dying but not yet dead North American system of imperialism and colonialism. (The Burning Spear, June 2005)
In March 2009, Lovelle Mixon, a convicted felon, brutally murdered four Oakland police officers – two during a routine traffic stop, and two when he ambushed police who were trying to arrest him. It was the deadliest attack on California police officers since 1970. Yeshitela praised “brother Lavelle” and taunted the victims’ families by publishing a poem, written by Mixon’s sister, that mocked the murdered officers
We believe that all oppressed and colonized peoples have a right to struggle for liberation and to resist, as Malcolm X said, by any means necessary. 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. This is exactly what our brother Lovelle Mixon did.
Even if Mixon was not political, he took a righteous stand of resistance to police terror in a community – see: colony – controlled by the police – see: occupying army. Mixon was of the community, and should be remembered.
‘Velle’s name will ring in the street: A legend.
‘Velle Mixon, y’all listen, this is bigger than fiction;
‘Velle went out in a blaze of glory. He said he ain’t going back, Brrrrrat! Brrrrrrat!”
One pig, two pig, laying on the ground;
three pigs, four pigs, I bet they know now.
He knocked them down in an orderly fashion;
so now they hate the Mixons in an orderly passion.
(The Burning Spear, March 2010)
On mass-murderer Omar Thornton (a black man who gunned down eight co-workers in Manchester, Connecticut on August 3rd, 2010)
In the end, Brother Omar took his own life, they say. And, if this is the case, he was not to give the Colonial police or the Colonialist court the opportunity to legally murder him by bullet or death chamber.
The idea that he could have escaped was apparently not included in his justice seeking plans, although it should have been.
According to reports, Brother Omar called his mother after shooting his predetermined antagonists, telling her, “I shot the racists that were bothering me.”
According to the white ruling class media outlet, Associated Press of August 5, which appeared in the Houston Chronicle, “Friends and Family of those who died said they couldn’t imagine their loved ones doing what Thornton said, and the company and union said Thornton never reported any harassment.”
Well, as someone from Alcoholics Anonymous would say to an alcoholic who refuse to believe they have an addiction: you are in denial. By the same token, there are very few colonials who admit they are anti-black racist.
They both reap material rewards; the alcoholic more whiskey, wine, and beer. And the colonial, more vacations, more cars, and more luxury homes, and the convenience of not going to prison, no matter what crimes they commit. They have the luxury of not being shot down in the streets and in their homes by the different U.S. police agencies.
LONG LIVE MARK ESSEX!
LONG LIVE OMAR THORTON (sic)
(Mark Essex was an African-American mass-murderer who went on a seven-day killing spree targeting white people in New Orleans in 1972)
