Exposing The Black Lives Matter Movement For What It Is: Promotion of Cop Killing

It's time to expose the Black Lives Matter [BLM] movement for what it is: a racist, violent hate group that promotes the execution of police officers. The evidence is in their rhetoric and written on their shirts.

If you take a look at the Black Lives Matter Twitter feed, you'll find photos of activists wearing shirts that say, "Assata Taught Me."

They're referring to infamous cop killer Assata Shakur, otherwise known as Joanne Chesimard, who shot and killed a New Jersey State Trooper back in 1973. In 1977, Shakur was convicted and sentenced to prison but quickly escaped and has been a fugitive in Cuba ever since. She's also on the FBI's most wanted terrorism list. BLM glorifies Shakur as a hero and uses her writings and materials during training sessions. Lee Stranahan has more: 

BlackLivesMatter—the activist group that demands a “racial justice agenda” that includes constant criticism and activism against police—invokes the words of convicted cop killer Assata Shakur at “all its events.”

At a recent event for female bloggers, BlackLivesMatter leaders had a crowd of thousands repeating lines from a letter written by Shakur that include an explicit reference to the Communist Manifesto.

The BlackLivesMatter group, which has met with President Obama and largely been given a free pass by the media, has skyrocketed to national prominence after its involvement with unrest and rioting in Ferguson, Baltimore, and a recent takeover of events the Netroots Nation conference for progressive Democrats in Phoenix, Arizona.

Assata Shakur, who has been living in exile in Cuba for over thirty years, is a hero to communist revolutionaries for her involvement in the 1960s and 1970s with a violent, criminal Black Panther Party offshoot called the Black Liberation Army. Shakur and the group robbed several banks as a revolutionary act and eventually killed a New Jersey State Trooper with his own gun after a highway stop in 1973.

Former Black Panther Party member Kathleen Cleaver, who is a supporter of Shakur, is "thrilled" about the BLM movement. 

TR: So what do you think of Black Lives Matter?

KC: I’m thrilled to see such concern for the community. I think Black Lives Matter is exhilarating, exciting, and I’m really glad that it’s here. 

Now, onto those who condone this behavior and the rhetoric being used. 

Not only have the leaders of the Democrat Party refused to condemn the movement, they've desperately tried to embrace it. In the age of Obama, where Democrats thrive on division and embrace a racial justice narrative, this isn't surprising. 

Last week at the DNC summer meeting in Minneapolis, a resolution was passed in solidarity with the movement. BLM later rejected it.

"The DNC joins with Americans across the country in affirming ‘Black lives matter’ and the ‘say her name’ efforts to make visible the pain of our fellow and sister Americans as they condemn extrajudicial killings of unarmed African American men, women and children," the solidarity resolution states.

The day after the resolution was passed, BLM activists in Minneapolis chanted, "pigs in a blanket, fry em' like bacon," as they marched down the street. This rhetoric also came just one day after the execution of Texas Sheriff Deputy Daron Goforth while he was filling up his patrol car at a local gas station. If you aren't familiar, "pigs in a blanket" refers to the bodies of dead police officers in body bags. 

Last night I made an appearance on The Kelly File to discuss BLM (the segment wasn't cut short, we just ran out of time). 

Despite Richard Fowler's claims that he's "watching a different Black Lives Matter movement," we aren't and the calls for police executions are not isolated incidents (he also lied about the Tea Party connection to the Tucson shooting of former Congresswoman Gabriel Giffords, there wasn't a connection as he claims but that's a topic for a other post). In December the man who killed two NYPD officers while they were eating lunch in their patrol car posted on his Instagram page, "Going to put pigs in a blanket" before carrying out his killings. In Ferguson when news of the NYPD slayings hit, BLM protestors chanted and celebrated, "Pigs in a blanket!" We saw the same over the weekend in Minneapolis. This isn't happening in one place, it's happening around the country. BLM activists are using their own words and inspiration from convicted cop killers to promote the assassination of police officers. 

Finally, it's important to point out two-thirds of the African American community flat out reject BLM or strongly disagree with the movement's tactics. From the Washington Post: 

The baby boomers who drove the success of the civil rights movement want to get behind Black Lives Matter, but the group’s confrontational and divisive tactics make it difficult. In the 1960s, activists confronted white mobs and police with dignity and decorum, sometimes dressing in church clothes and kneeling in prayer during protests to make a clear distinction between who was evil and who was good.

But at protests today, it is difficult to distinguish legitimate activists from the mob actors who burn and loot. The demonstrations are peppered with hate speech, profanity, and guys with sagging pants that show their underwear. Even if the BLM activists aren’t the ones participating in the boorish language and dress, neither are they condemning it.

"It's a racist movement, racist to the core...denounce the Black Lives Movement and replace it with All Lives Matter."

You still anti-Trump and pro-Bush?

Kathleen Neal Cleaver (born May 13, 1945) is an American professor of law, known for her involvement with the Black Panther Party.

The Cleavers’ apartment was raided in 1968 before a Panther rally by the San Francisco Tactical Squad on the suspicion of hiding guns and ammunition. Later that year, Eldridge Cleaver staged a deliberate ambush of Oakland police officers during which two police officers were injured. Cleaver was wounded and fellow Black Panther member Bobby Hutton was killed in a shootout following the initial exchange of gunfire. Charged with attempted murder, he jumped bail to flee to Cuba and later went to Algeria.

After graduating, she worked for the law firm of Cravath, Swaine & Moore, and followed this with numerous jobs including: law clerk in the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in Philadelphia, the faculty of Emory University in Atlanta, visiting faculty member at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York City, the Graduate School of Yale University and Sarah Lawrence College.

In 2005, Cleaver was selected an inaugural Fletcher Foundation Fellow. She then worked as a Senior Research Associate at the Yale Law School, and a Senior Lecturer in the African American Studies department at Yale University. She is currently serving as senior lecturer at Emory University School of Law.

Why do we tolerate this?

Unapologetic in her efforts to abolish systematic injustice, Kathleen Cleaver ’84 LAW ’89 has long been a leader in radical political circles.

. In 1967, she met and married Eldridge Cleaver, one of the first leaders of the Black Panther Party. Attracted to their Black Power ideology, Cleaver then joined the Black Panther ranks and moved to San Francisco, committed to eradicating the injustices that she continued to witness.

Eldridge was a fugitive, which is why we were there in the first place. We were leading the international section of the Black Panther Party, leading solidarity committees. Algeria was one of the only places in Africa with extensive access to the press. It was an outpost and facilitator of solidarity for the Black Panther Party.

It was the ’80s, when Reagan announced he was a candidate for President he did it in Philadelphia, Mississippi. Why did he do that, when he was the Governor of California? What had happened in Philadelphia, Mississippi — it was the murder of the three civil rights workers — Andrew Goodman, James Cheney and Mickey Schwerner. To announce his candidacy there was to align himself with the white supremacist attitudes of Philadelphia, Mississippi. He took an anti-civil rights stance. I wanted to finish my college education so I could apply to law school, I wanted to do what I had seen Charles Garry — the San Francisco attorney who defended the Black Panthers — do. He was a brilliant, charismatic and highly effective criminal defense attorney. I wanted to know what he knew, and I came to Yale to be able to finish my B.A. and enroll in law school, which I did at Yale.

I am not sure if such a movement could happen during this time. The Black Panthers were a product of their time. During the emergence of the Panthers, the Vietnam War was happening, and that caused great social unrest. It is hard to start a movement when everyone involved is either imprisoned or has been assassinated. The Panthers have been demonized. I am not sure if there are enough young people who would be aware enough to start such an initiative. Young people today are not being educated in public schools. The prison industrial complex is trapping them. These things happen in waves, so we’ll just have to wait. But I’d like to end on a positive note: I would like to see a day in which the political climate of intimidation and repression dissolves into one rectifying injustice and enhancing social well-being.

Hack of the year would be to take control of the PA system at a big BLM event, play Ice-T’s “Cop Killer”, and capture on video howcthe crowd reacts.

Former Black Panther Kathleen Cleaver on Assata Shakur and #BlackLivesMatter

One of the central figures in the history of the Black Panther Party is Kathleen Cleaver, the first communications secretary for the organization until 1971, when she went into exile in Algeria with her husband, Eldridge Cleaver.

Kathleen Cleaver is one of the many voices featured in filmmaker Stanley Nelson’s new documentary, The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution, which hits select movie theaters starting Sept. 2 and debuts on PBS next year. Nelson says he wanted “to tell the story of the rise and fall of the Black Panther Party, a little-known history that hadn’t been told in its entirety.”

Now 70 years old, Kathleen Cleaver—who is finishing her memoir, Memories of Love and War—is a law professor at Emory University and co-founder of the Human Rights Research Fund. The Root spoke with her about the Panthers, Black Lives Matter and Joanne Chesimard, aka Assata Shakur, the party member who is exiled in Cuba.

“Are these those goddamn fools called New Black Panthers? Because they are not Black Panthers. They are posers, agents and morons, as far as I’m concerned. Most of them don’t know anything about the Black Panther Party, either.”

” Let’s get one thing straight: The Black Panthers was not a movement. The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense was an organization created Oct. 21, 1966, with a 10-point platform of what we wanted, what we believed. It was [at] the time when organizations such as SNCC, the NAACP and CORE were in the forefront of the black struggle. So there was a civil rights movement, but it was generated through organizations.”

Just following the rules....

Thank you so much.

I don’t want to weed through all of my post history all the way back to Obumbler’s first election... but, I am sure that I pretty specifically stated that this is what was going to happen. I think many other FReepers saw the same..

[DoughtyOne]

I have seen the RNC GOPe express their Leftist tendencies for a log time, 35 years or so. So leftist legislation, leftist candiates... sure. I could see that.

Capitulating to a man of Obama’s caliber? No. I honestly never saw that coming.

If you would have told me 6.5 years ago that every Republican but one would sign on to a bill making it easier for Obama green light Iran for nuclear weapons, there’s no way I would have agreed to that premise.

As for talking with avowed racists, no, I don’t think I saw that coming either.

The Republicans have signed on to the worst of the worst of the worst.

I could see them buying into the worst. In comes cases I could see them buying into the worst of the worst. I never thought I would see them buying into the worst of the worst of the worst.

That may be confusing, but these folks have backed the worst policies of the worst individual in the worst party in the U. S.

[Bikkuri]

Because of that 99-1, I honestly don’t see a chance (of a safe) recovery of the original USA for at least 2 generations, possibly never again :(

I am now looking for options (checking with Israel) for new citizenship.. I know I will catch flack for saying this :/

[DoughtyOne]

I find that shocking as well,

Lets not kid ourselves, some of our champions bought off on that.

I can’t say that Trump will be his kind of guy, but we need a man that supports decent policy good enough that he convinces others that it’s okay to support it.

It can become in vogue to love this nation and fight for it again.

Screw the big money. I’d rather go back to individual pauper status, and rebuild than be beholding to people who want this nation to be their slave.

And frankly, anyone big money that expresses that demand, I can easily think of them as traitors if they want to go that route.

If they try to liquidate and move out of this nation, simply slap a freeze on their funds. We’ll see how that works out.

I’m tired of suffering these jerks.
