Demonstration In Harlem In Defense of Assata Shakur! On Thursday, May 9, 2013 at 5pm Eastern Standard Time, the New York City Chapter of the Black is Back Coalition for Social Justice Peace and Reparations (BIBC) will hold a demonstration in front of the Harlem State Office Building to protest the U.S. government’s recent announcement of the increased bounty placed on the life of Assata Shakur from $1 million to $2 million and her addition to the FBI’s most wanted terrorist list. The State claims that Assata Shakur is a U.S. domestic terrorist and is offering money to anyone who can take Assata from Cuba and bring her back, dead or alive, to the U.S. so that she can be forced to serve the rest of her “life sentence” for the alleged murder of a New Jersey state trooper in the early 1970s. The BIBC is absolutely opposed to the U.S. governments labeling of Assata Shakur as a terrorist. Assata Shakur, like the masses of African and other oppressed peoples around the world, is a victim of terrorism inflicted by the U.S. government. RSVP to the event on Facebook

Short rant for my followers in Harlem

Anyone who has lived, chilled or worked in Harlem and Spanish Harlem knows of the oppression and fear the NYPD inflicts upon our neighborhood. Being frisked by police has become a right of passage in the hood. It’s common to hear about a friend spending a night in bookings for possessing a fucking dime of weed.

Black and latino’s have to develop a sixth sense to survive. We know to stay away from white people in sports jerseys (cops) and look out for DT’s in tinted cars (and even taxi cabs). We know which train station we can hop on and what streets/aves to avoid. Paranoia is survival.

The sad part is that we have grown accustomed to the unnecessarily large police presence in Harlem. You literally cannot walk down a block without seeing a NYPD car/van passing (I wish I was exaggerating).  Nothing is done about the blatant police corruption and racial profiling. It has become the norm.

Why not fight it? At least for a night. What do we have to lose?
