I hope we understand that imperialism with a Black face is still imperialism. That imperialism in a woman's body is still imperialism. And it is imperialism that must be stopped
Breaking News: Sundiata Acoli will be released from New Jersey State prison. The State Supreme Court ruled that veteran Black Panther Party member was denied his right to be free. Free Em All!!!
Robert Allen has passed away. His book "Black Awakening in Capitalist America" was and is a must-read for anyone attempting to understand capitalist exploitation in our community and the takeover of our movements by the non-profit industrial complex. Rest in Power!
How many times must we hear that it is the most important election of our lifetime before we figure out is all psychological warfare meant to keep us engaged in a system of subjugation

Chairman Hampton setting the tone for the 1st day of Black August & revolutionary commitment, "If you ever think about me, and you ain't gonna do no revolutionary act, forget about me. I don't want myself on your mind if you're not going to work for the people."

The war on Black people is waged on many fronts. One is media. We need to counter their distortions & imagery. Reject when they tell us who we are. Reject their narrative of who they are. Develop our own sources of information & we will develop the ability to Resist.
Just remember:
Corporate media is propaganda
Hollywood is propaganda
Celebrity culture is propaganda
It is all geared to keep us docile and involved in their foolishness it will never get us free
The murder of Sonya Massey by the police is another reason why we need to develop real alternatives to calling the police and keep these cops out of homes and our communities
This is why you/we need alternative media. 6 companies own 90% of the media you consume. Their objective is to make you sit, buy and obey. It's the illusion of choice.

Assata is in exile in Cuba, Sundiata is 87 years old and still fighting! This picture of Sundiata Acoli, Dhoruba Bin Wahad and Kalonji was from last week at Mumia Abu Jamal’s 70th Birthday Rally.
Black people spent $1.6 trillion this year, more than the GDP of Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Sweden and about 200 other countries.
We have plenty of money. What we do not have are the skills required to build institutions that preserve our economic power.
This is a great study in liberal media propaganda. US invasions are always to free people. US wars are never about empire, and anything that gets exposed is always just a mistake. Every other state that does not agree hated freedom.
Happy New Year. Malcolm X debates on the motion that ‘extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice, moderation in pursuit of justice is no virtue.’

"Dr. King's policy was...if you suffer, your opponent will see your suffering & will be moved to change his heart. That's very good. He only made one fallacious assumption. In order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience. The U.S. has none."

Support Black Power Media. When corporate media propaganda is in full swing, telling us who our friends and enemies are you need news and analysis from a Black anti-imperialist source. You need Black Power Media.

Today marks 40 years of unjust parole denials since Ruchell's first parole denial in 1981. 58 years in prison starting with a marijuana conviction is absolutely ridiculous, and we believe every media outlet has the duty to report on this extreme injustice
Black Power means we must control all institutions that have an impact on our lives. If it has power over us we either need to control it or destroy it.
This is why you need Black Power Media because the news here is not that this is happening but an analysis of white supremacy and capitalism to tell you why
The report found that one in 81 Black adults per 100,000 people in the US is serving time in a state prison, using data and projections from recent years from the US Census, the US Bureau of Justice Statistics and information provided directly from states.
American media is married to a white supremacist narrative of just American wars. Any killings to big to hide are reported as tragic mistakes or the fault of lower ranked personnel. It's never shown as the policy to kill & terrorize to control people, resources & land that it is
