"4th of the Lie" message from the Black Riders Liberation Party (BRLP): BREAK FREE FROM THE NEW SLAVERY

ATTENTION! ATTENTION! (please read) -
IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR ALL BLACK PEOPLE ON THE "4TH OF THE LIE"
BY: GENERAL T.A.C.O - BLACK RIDERS - NEW GENERATION BLACK PANTHER PARTY FOR SELF-DEFENSE! RBG 4 LIFE! BLACK POWER! ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE! PLEASE SHARE THIS POST WITH EVERYONE YOU KNOW...


AFRICAN INTER-COMMUNALISM: IT IS EASY TO CRITICIZE FROM THE SIDELINE BUT HARDER TO STRUGGLE ON THE FRONT LINE
In the beginning of the movie “boyz in the hood,” which is a movie that supposedly depicts inner city gang life amongst young Blacks, a racist amerikkkan missionary teacher raises the question: where are you from? She asks this to a classroom mostly filled with poor young Black boys as she looks at a map of the world in which the country of amerikkka is predominantly and bodily misrepresented in the background. One young Black boy raises his hand to be called on. The teacher calls on him and he says, “my daddy told me we are from Africa…” when all of a sudden he is interrupted by another little Black boy who says, “no, I'm from Crenshaw mafia!” (an Amerikkkan L.A. Blood gang!). Forced ignorance is a colossal crime…

“Boyz in the hood” was a fictional movie but the truth that played out in the beginning scene can be seen all over Amerikkka in every Black ghetto. Most black people have no true knowledge of self or where they came from and this lack of critical knowledge is only one of the reasons for massive sickness that plagues our community with self-destructive tribal violence. It has left three generations of youth stricken with tribal war-torn battle wounds both mentally and physically. This tribalism has filled the U.S. big business prison system (concentration camps) beyond capacity. The worst effect is that it has caused more death’s in just Los Angeles than all the casualties in the Yankee imperialist Vietnam war combined!!! This has allowed the racist trigger happy police forces, and the fascist white government they serve and protect, to make more insidious claims of psychological, intellectual, physical, and moral superiority over it’s Black subjugated community/nation. It has led the racist colonizing pig army to run amok through our Black Nation, maiming and murdering under the guise of enforcing laws that are extremely racist and oppressive.

Most elders have either given up on our youth or have begun to side with our white racist historical enemy against us, through consent, by helping to vote in racist laws or openly snitching to and calling pigs to hunt and shoot us down as if we are not even human beings deserving human rights and due process. It is as if the grey on their heads has made them catch a sick dose of brainwashing, or the clubs that busted open their heads during the unsuccessful civil; rights and Black power Movements gave them collective amnesia to the plight of our community: We must stop Black on Black violence with preventative education. The police don’t do anything but issue out savage justice with a blood lust. They act as if they are the judge, jury and executioners!

Just because martin Luther King Jr., Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, Huey P. Newton and George Jackson were killed doesn't mean we stop struggling for freedom! Instead of snuggling in the foul armpits of the new Black middle-class, the elders must open their eyes and remember that Willie Lynch, the Grand wizard, Slave master of all slave masters, taught that the best way to conquer the minds and to conquer the bodies of the slaves was to create a critical separation between the dark-skinned Black and the light skinned Black, the Black male and the Black female, and especially the elder Black man and the younger Black Man. “Divide and conquer” is the motto of the slave master!

Stanley “Tookie” Williams didn't start gang banging. Racist Amerikkka started gang banging. It started the gang banging when it bust the first Black man upside the head, threw him in chains, and drug him over here to work for free. Amerikkka didn't just kidnap one Black man but she kidnapped over 60 million Black people and forcefully tricked us to despise and hate our Afrikan selves. This self-hatred and shame we feel towards our Black Afrikan characteristics and culture is one of the reasons that gang banging and it’s tribal self destructive violence occurs. Lets not forget that the racist police forces were originally called “Paddy Rollers”. The Paddy Rollers’ main job back then was to capture and re-enslave runaway slaves and return them to the plantation.

"The Afrikan philosophy that accorded so much respect to elders was based upon the assumption that all other things being equal, those who were living in the world and experiencing life before others were born should know more than others. This qualification is important because it was later applied in the election of chiefs and kings from amongst the elders. Being heir to the throne was simply not enough. One had to meet other qualifications or be passed over. Therefore, being older or the oldest in ones group did not command the usual respect if one was lazy, a troublemaker or a fool. Intelligence and wisdom were supposed to match ones age. It should be Black peoples greatest collective hope that at some point the total affect of the mind tampering during enslavement is understood. The genetic psychological damage done to Blacks in slavery has been forgotten as lightweight action that’s over and done with. It’s much more serious and long lasting than that. It has caused the people to be morally estranged from their past history in beautiful mother Afrika."

Afrika and it’s people suffered the greatest loss in world history! White supremacy locked Afrika into a four hundred and fifty year room. Too many times it is assumed that Afrikan history began with the slave trade. It is necessary to look at Afrikan history before and after the slave trade in order to grasp how and why Afrikan people were it’s victims. Since we were robbed of the honor of full manhood and womanhood that comes only from the pride of racial worth and identity, Black people’s minds usually operate favorably towards racist enemies and very negatively toward ourselves and our own kind!

It is essential we look back in order to look forward with more understanding. There was a thousand years of independent state formation and state management in just inner West afrika alone before the slave trade. this period of independent Afrikan political and cultural activity needs to be reviewed in order to understand, at least in part, what just West Afrika lost in the slave trade and what the elders role was...

In Afrikan culture, the sons and daughters of one’s aunts or uncles are considered brothers and sisters, not cousins. We do not make distinctions among relations practiced by whites. We do not have half sisters or half brothers. My brother’s child is my son or my daughter; my mother’s sister is my mother, too. This well-rounded relationship led to a positive wholesome development for the youth. Correct education of the youth was not just a family responsibility either. The training of the youth was everybody’s responsibility, especially the correction of bad behavior and activity. Child rearing was a serious communal duty: thus the Afrikan saying, “it takes a whole village to raise a child!” Afrikan youth had to be groomed to be men and women. Manhood and Womanhood was not a naturally occurring condition by age but must be carefully created by the experienced elders of the whole community! After this positive rearing of the youth was successfully accomplished, the youth had three obligatory duties to be carried out for their parents and elders:

1. They must procreate and have children to continue the bloodline for the community,

2. Support their parents and elders in every way possible once they reached an extremely old age (there was no sending elders or parents to convalescent homes!)

3. Remember their great contributions for all time by performing ancestral rituals to them after their deaths.

It should be obvious that this type of activity provided the elders and the youth with a holistic, loving relationship. Once bad and negative behavior was detected amongst the youth, the elders did not meekly hand them over to racist foreign invaders and their slave camps! This would have been frowned at and looked upon as high treason and a very traitorous action!!! The penalty of such a foolish action would have surely meant banishment form the tribe or worse…

The Afrikan holocaust of enslavement and other foul events connected the growing economic and political forces that laid the foundation of Modern White-Amerikkkan Nation State, Nationalism, and Materialism, as well as the capitalist world economy. The Afrikan holocaust of enslavement was the single greatest crime in the world ever committed against any people! Nothing else can match this massive genocide and cultural destruction. Every effort was made to whip from our memory how we related to each other before the coming of the racist white criminal elite and it’s evil capitalist monster machine.

Black people were Branded, whipped, castrated, mutilated, tortured and outright murdered in order for us to be molded into slaves for the Amerikkkan slave master. After we were forced onto filthy overcrowded slave ships at gunpoint, we were made to do excruciating work for hundreds of years and many generations. The slave master raped Black women every chance he got. We were brutally stripped of our God, history, language, names, country, religion, families and ways of living. Reading, writing and education of any kind was forbidden for the brain dead slave. we were viciously and continually brainwashed to believe that the white race was thought of as “pure”, smart, and superior and the Black race was dirty, inferior, and stupid. Racist white people viewed Black people as subhuman (half man half monkey) and slavery was considered to be a blessing from God, delivered fresh to us from God specifically chosen white race. Ain't that a B***H?!!!? Excuse the cursing, but the truth should make any and all elders curse out loud.

Slavery was such a desperate time for Blacks due to the racial discrimination tactics employed by the slave master. Not only was there unbearable pain and forced labor but separation and individualism was promoted by offering singular and individual rewards gained by pleasing the slave master and being a good slave. A good slave was one who consented to do anything to stay alive and grow old, if possible. This individual reward system ripped apart ties of couples, family and the community. Independent self-preservation was the rule on the plantation.

Now today in 2014 we have evolved into a neo-colony which is oppressed for racist and economic reasons:

Although Blacks are widely dispersed rather than compressed into a compact territory, we are never the less a subjugated nation because of bonds due to our psychological make up, ghetto language, concentrations in inner cities or rural towns, and an economic status similar to colonial people’s. Our community is still dominated by the fascist Amerikkkan ruling circle that rules indirectly through a Black petite bourgeoisie elite and just like other Afrikan neo-colonizers, a negative side effect of this oppressive structure is Black on Black tribal violence!

Capitalist propaganda made the millionaire the hero of modern life, and taught Black youth that success is wealth. Oppressed Black People are forced into conditions of extreme poverty that causes disease, ignorance dope dealing, and Black on Black crime because the youth end up fighting each other over fake status symbols like jewels, flashy cars, respect, clothes, and Black Blood money!

History is never old, everything that ever happened continues to happen. We need to carefully examine slavery and our present day oppression in order to understand its reverberations and current effects. Black people are infected with the historic disease of cultural negligence. We incorrectly believe ourselves to be living the right life- the one which is only available to us in this country’s setting, which most foolishly believe is the best place on earth. We have to learn that racist Amerikkka was built on invasion, cultural devastation, genocide, and war! Black people must stop secretly wanting to be clones of white people and their values or standards.

Black elders must understand that the youth must be sought out and rescued from Afrikan cultural neglect. A young brain, not yet equipped with the psychological tools to filter or disseminate information, accepts any and all information it is programmed with as the truth. There are no easy answers or quick solutions to tribalism. Misinformation can become deeply rooted in the psyche and will override true information from another source. Brainwashed Black people must be claimed, cleaned up, and returned to their proper state of Afrikan existence as a civilized people!

The propagation of the Black nation to ensure it’s survival, perseverance, longevity, and freedom must take priority over every other aspect of life. Human behavior is the result of training and familiarity of environment. Black people’s natural instincts have become so polluted and distorted that they reject the plan that works for one that fails. Black elders must throw off the cloak of deception and stop letting fear and panic rule. These youth are our future! They are our sons and daughters though they are extremely misguided by the racist monster machine. This tribal “family feud” will disappear only when the reasons for it’s existence in the first place disappear. Black elders must conjure up a new strength for the fight, become brave and realize that it represents the difference between betrayal and honor, insanity and common sense, destruction and reconstruction, passive reform or aggressive revolution!

This does not fall on the Black elders shoulders either. Every Black person must be a beacon of light in the sea of racist European-Amerikkkan darkness and blindness. One must constantly urge all our people one comes in contact with to seek truth about human history by pursuing the path of enlightenment through knowledge: first of self, and then of other third world people oppressed by U.S. imperialism! The Black nation must implement across the board standards of home life that encompass every Black person and Black family. The result of not following a national and international plan useful to all Black people in Amerikkka and everywhere else the Afrikan and his descendants reside is the confusion that we have today.

This situation of violence, self hatred, and attending disunity in the Black community, is a matter of grave concern. Young Blacks who commit criminal attacks on their own people are also, unconsciously, striking out against the unbearable situation of what appears to be permanent disunity and, therefore, against the utter helplessness of a people whose liberation from oppression can be accomplished only by united initiatives of its own or we will die slowly in the tribal crossfire.

This is NOT just tough talk either. The Black Riders are the new generation Black Panthers and we are back by popular demand! The youth have united to rethink the 1960’s Black panther battle strategies and we have developed an upgraded version for today’s high tech world. We have a passion for excellence that transcends fear and danger with our assertive Afrikan rites of passage educational tactics. We have helped to encourage many, many gang members to recognize their real racist enemy and give up tribal self destructive violence. The Black Riders are guided by our Afrikan Inter-Communalism ideology and our Black Commune Program. This is the Master Plan. We believe we are on a mission from God!!!

Our primary focus has been on Panther militant maneuvers acting as a peacekeeping force that educates the youth to a true knowledge of self and a Black self defense force that resists the invading occupying pig army. We completely realize that these are extreme measures because we believe this is our last chance for freedom before our extermination and genocide. We understand that in order to be successful peacemakers we would also have to deal with the historical peace breaker. We have learned the deadly lessons of Black historical struggle in Amerikkka. The Black Riders are honor bound Black revolutionary warriors who have been blocking the march of racist barbarians for over fourteen years now. We have ignited a fire in the belly of the beast by fighting hordes of spies and agents of repression. We have mastered the art of leadership, begun tracking the serpent, and facing down the enemy with our guns in our hands. We have achieved numerous BATTLEFIELD victories!

There must be no other course but to fight it out. Every political and military position must be held to the last Black man and Black woman. there must be no retreat and no surrender. with our backs to the wall and believing in the justice of our cause each one of us must fight on till the end. We call on all black people who still believe in freedom to join us or support us with their minds, bodies, and souls. There is a great war to be won and we will win it together.

BLACK POWER TO BLACK PEOPLE! ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE! FREEDOM BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY! JOIN NOW!

P.S. Many Black people boldly assert that they would never have submitted to slavery on the plantation passively and would have rebelled against the slave master without a second thought. Yet, these same Blacks today accept extreme poverty (the new slavery) in silence and cowardice everyday! FIGHT BACK!

New Africa, Unite! Face The Enemy... Head On!

2014-06-16 [www.facebook.com/BLACKRIDERSLIBERATIONPARTY], by General T.A.C.O. (Taking All Capitalists Out), founder and coordinator for the Black Rider Liberation Party (BRLP):
FROM ONE GENERATION TO THE NEXT...
THE BLACK RIDERS CONNECTION:

Picture a hot summer day in South Central Los Angeles, news reports interrupt the normally scheduled program with an emergency flash across the TV screen. The notorious trigger-happy LAPD just gunned down another defenseless Black child in the heart of the ghetto for nothing other than the officers falsely assuming that the supposed “suspect” had a gun. The officers, equipped with numerous less-lethal and lethal high-powered weapons, once again crossed the line and chose to use deadly force against a Black civilian for being armed with a mere black cell phone. More information will be given during the News at 11:00 PM...

The TV screen is immediately turned off. A highly secret organized system of communication begins. All across Southern California, formerly hostile young Black men and women from the lumpen-proletariat warrior class brief to the tragic incident. This so-called justifiable homicide is not justified to them. The war drums beat louder and louder in their hearts as the information is passed around and down the rigid chain of command. The unification that binds them together is a bulletproof Black Love forged and steeled from an extreme knowledge of their African history and the savage white racist, capitalist oppression of over four hundred years. Outwardly they appear to be average Black youth, a part of the Hip Hop generation, until put under close examination and you notice the military discipline in their every movement. Only when they shed the XXXL T-shirts and oversized baggy sagging pants into Black berets, leather jackets, camouflage pants, and big Black boots will anyone really notice this POWERFUL armed Black Revolutionary organization. This extraordinary transformation in their appearance will take place when the coded messages reach the bottom of the rank and file membership and flow back up to the top of the Democratic Centralized structure. Soldiers who embody the undying loyalty to the new Black Liberation struggle emerge from cars, homes, low-income projects and off numerous street corners, clubs, college campuses. All of them are hard-faced, tough, and love their people!

This display of strength and unity among former "gang" banging young Blacks puzzles and shocks most people, especially the racist barbarian LAPD. This is something new, powerful and amazing to them. They had a long history of dealing with Blacks, and nothing was better known than the disunity, misguided rage, and animosity of one group toward another. How was this DEEP spectacle of many different "tribal" individuals forming solid disciplined lines of unity under a Black leader to be explained? This was seen as a very real threat to the fascist Amerikkkan state. This Black unity will inspire massive Black Power, which, of course, will reduce white power and its domination of the whole earth. These formerly disunited individuals are now unified under my generalship, and we have opened a full-scale war against the evil forces of oppression, aimed at driving them out of every Black community in the US. The successful Black Panther military tactics of Huey Newton and the great General George Jackson are remembered and followed: careful, unhurried training and political organization; the secret movement of troops in small groups in different directions, all assembling at a stated time and place near enemy pig strongholds; then swift-moving, generally surprise attacks by different people on different centers of white supremacy. These operations took years of tedious and dangerous organizing in every hostile tribal area to build.

The real reason for the series of victories over the racist enemy is our extensive knowledge of revolutions on the planet, and our battle tested make up from growing up in the neo-colonial "Concrete Vietnam” of the Los Angeles gangland. We are now reaching out to other young Black Africans throughout the world because we realize that L.A. is not the only Black community that has been ravaged by the government created Black on Black violent crime. The fascist state smuggled drugs and guns into our communities to keep us fighting each other instead of attacking them like during the late 1960's and early 1970's. These were just some of the weapons and tactics used to destroy the old Black liberation movement.

We have begun to change the Black on Black violent criminal mentality into a Black Revolutionary mentality. The so-called Lost Generation X is now beginning to morph into Generation Malcolm X!

General T.A.C.O., Black Riders, new generation Black Panther Party for Self-Defense...
BLACK POWER! All Power to the People!
"HOUSE NEGRO POLITICAL HATERS AND RACIST ENEMIES MAKES ME GO HARDER...
DRAW YA SWORDS COWARDS! ! !"
RBG 4 LIFE! THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES! !

"On Confrontational Politics"

by General T.A.C.O. (Taking All Capitalists Out), founder and coordinator for the Black Rider Liberation Party (BRLP):

CONFRONTATIONAL POLITICS TO COMBAT FASCISM!!

Confrontational Politics is a brand new name for an upgraded style of militant, forceful, head on tactics; designed to challenge the racist oppressor. It incorporates armed and unarmed aggressive self-defense in an aboveground blend of using disciplined Black formations. Its Genesis and early beginnings has roots that stretches way back to Marcus Garvey's United Negro Improvement Association's Self Defense wing called the Black Legion and Malcolm X's late 1950's The Fruit of Islam.
Marcus Garvey was a great black leader who understood the necessity to present to the Black masses a disciplined above ground militant unit that would represent an uncompromising stance in the face of violent white racist retaliation triggered by any black organization seeking freedom. He was the premier leader who first put the critical need for self-defense on the map. He understood that security and protection was interconnected with Black dignity especially since white supremacy and capitalism relied on sheer force to enslave black people. This racist intimidation was emitted from many different elements of white Amerikkkan society. It is what forbids the majority of Blacks from participating in any legitimate struggle whether it is consciously or unconsciously acknowledged.
Marcus Garvey's Black Legion wore military clothing, trained openly in military drills, and carried long swords publicly whenever it was legal to do so. It was an aboveground apparatus. When the U.S. Governments secret polite force known as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (F. B. I.) recognized the threat of the Black Legion, Marcus Garvey was one of the first blacks put on the dangerous subversive list and the U. S. Government's secret war plan called Counter Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO) was originally created to target him and his organization. COINTELPRO's insidious use of legal and illegal tactics to disrupt and neutralize Marcus Garvey's "Back to Africa" movement consisted of informants; agent provocateurs, attempted assassinations, and bogus trumped up charges against innocent Black people in the U. N. I. A.
Even though the Black Legion never really engaged the racist authorities or any white supremacy organization in an aboveground confrontational political demonstration, the seed of potential of a clash was planted in the racist white psyche, so therefore, the U. N. I. A. was sought out to be eliminated. This is not to say that there were no underground aggressive attacks launched by the Black Legion but what we are mainly concerned with within this analysis is aboveground confrontation. We are very sure that there were secret strikes carried out by the Black Legion against critical Racist targets by the official policy of the U. N. I. A. towards the Black masses was that the Black Legion represented just the idea or concept of self-defense and was not a formation that engaged in serious direct confrontation. It mainly provided security for the organization and its leadership officials at public events or it paraded around in large formations as a self-defense symbol of dignity for Black people.
In the late 1950's Malcolm Little became Malcolm X after he joined the original Nation of Islam led by Elijah Muhammad. Malcolm X was fresh out of prison where he was recruited into the N. O. I. Since Malcolm was a former street hustler and ex-prisoner, he maintained a link to Black people in those areas. Elijah Muhammad gave Malcolm permission to organize those Blacks into self-defense unit called the Fruit of Islam (F. O. I.). Malcolm brought brothers in from off the streets and taught them Judo martial arts, military drills, discipline, and the N. O. I. self-defense philosophy. "Officially" they carried no carnal) Bodily) weapons. They didn't have a policy towards confrontational political demonstrations at that time mainly because they considered themselves to be primarily a spiritual organization.
 Then on one amazing politically charged night, Malcolm X was put in an extraordinary dilemma, when a N. O. I. member was brutally beat by the racist New York police. Robert Johnson was savagely dragged to the precinct and he was being denied medical treatment after his head was busted open by Police nightsticks. Malcolm, who was the head minister at the New York N. O. I. temple, led a large, disciplined formation of the F. O. I. through the streets of New York causing a large commotion and a Black crowd of people followed them there. The Muslims lined up in a militant line facing the police station with the enormous crowd positioned behind them. This militant action sent shock waves through the police station and community because this was the first time in the history of Black people in racist Amerikkka that anyone had the heart and courage to openly confront the police in such a strong manner!!! Then Malcolm boldly walked into the police station, flanked by just a couple of Muslims and let the other F. O. I. members positioned in a long disciplined formation outside, casting a menacing silent aura. He went to the police front desk and then demanded that the injured Muslim be given medical attention. The police in the station only agreed to the demand once they saw the large militant confrontation-taking place outside. Malcolm walked out and then led the F. O. I. and the gigantic crowd to the hospital to guarantee that the injured Muslim was given medical care. Once he was sure that the Muslim got the help he deserved, Malcolm used just one hand turn and the Muslims did a militant right face and dispersed with the crowd in a matter of seconds! Once the white police officer who witnessed Malcolm X dismiss the Muslims with just one hand gesture, remarked out loud that "That's too much power for one Black man to have!" After this first ever use of confrontational politics, Malcolm X became well known and admired amongst local black residents in New York when the newspapers reported the story the next morning. He was regarded as a true leader of the black community who would not break down even in the face of overwhelming odds.
This was the last time Malcolm was allowed to use the F. O. I. in a confrontational political demonstration. Yet, he was emboldened by this successful use of power against power and begun to also publicly advocate the use of guns in the self-defense of the black community. He was later suspended and left the Nation of Islam. The U. S. government begun to put him under surveillance and directly in the gun sight of COINTELPRO's cross hairs. When his family was threatened and harassed by racist forces, he allowed himself to be photographed with a M-1 carbine assault rifle while he peered out of his home window. This picture became extremely popular throughout the Black movement as Malcolm's most worthy call for the need of armed self-defense of the Black community. This picture was definitely worth more then a thousand words for Black people.
The F. O. I. went on to disavow and prohibit confrontational political demonstrations. They became a division within the Nation of Islam that provided security for Muslims and high leadership officials in their organization. They also focused on checking internal sub-visions and activities of secret agents placed within the organization by racist forces and secured complete records of all persons employed by their organization. It is not known if they ever launched any underground strikes against their racist enemies but I believe most likely they did at sometime.
There were many different organizations that had a critical influence that advanced confrontational political strategy throughout the 1960's like Robert Williams armed Negro Advancement Association for Colored People, The Student "Non-Violent" Coordinating Committee, the Deacons of Defense, Malcolm X's Organization of Afro-American Unity, The Revolutionary Action Movement , and a host of many others. The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense started in 1966 by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale, took confrontational politics to its highest level during the 60's. Minister of Defense, Huey P. Newton, was a street devotee to Malcolm X's theories and practice. In fact, the entire Black Panther for Self-Defense was created in the spirit of Malcolm X after Malcolm was brutally gunned down by COINTELPRO. Huey decided to confront the racist police forces in Oakland whenever they pulled over Black people and tried to brutalize them. Unlike the community patrol organization that just took pictures of random acts of police brutality that operated at that time in L. A., Huey took it a step further by patrolling the police while openly brandishing shotguns because it was still legal to do so in the state of California.
This was also a small-scale adaptation of Malcolm X's late night confrontation at the New York police station. Huey learned from Malcolm that the racist authorities could be effectively challenged and confronted with Black Power against White Power approach. As long as a group maintained a disciplined and legal posture, then the police could check on their illegal brutality and murder of Black people. Huey and Bobby also began to call the police "pigs" on these patrols because it was also a legal thing to do. Huey understood that such a serious act of confronting such a deadly tentacle of our oppression in a militant way would inspire brothers and sisters from off the block to join the struggle for Black liberation.
Out on these patrols facing down the police while openly displaying their weapons helped the panthers capture the hearts and minds of the Black community. When recruits from off the block began to stream into the Panthers, Huey and Bobby took the confrontations to an even higher level by being armed openly, confronting an entire police station after the savage police murder Denzel Dowel. Many Black organizations at that time began to criticize the Black Panthers for being what they referred to as the Panther's being "prematurely paramilitary" and thought the Panthers should have kept their activities underground.
Huey responded to these absurd critiques by writing an article called "The Correct Handling of a Revolution". He pointed out that it was impossible to mobilize the community in a significant manner if the Black revolutionaries did not openly confront the racist enemy to educate the people to resistance. He correctly analyzed that those groups that tired to criticize the Panthers were impostors and fake revolutionaries because they wanted the people of the community to bear the pressure of the police retaliation for such resistance while the so-called revolutionaries hid. He accused these groups of being fake revolutionaries who did nothing but talk and were too afraid to draw the oppressors blood! He wrote that nay true revolutionaries always started out aboveground in order to educate the people to the revolutionary organization existence and desire to help liberate the people, so the government would not be able to lie to the people and make them feel that the revolutionaries were some type of crazy fanatical violent group out to harm the community. He wrote that the group started out aboveground but eventually have to go underground once the oppressor began to target the group in an extreme manner. By then the revolutionaries would have already won the respect of the people and would have created conditions for underground operations to be carried out successfully with the protection of the community.
Eventually Huey's analysis of the struggle would be proven right but the practice of the Panthers took a strategic sharp turn from this position. COINTELPRO sent out a directive to the California State Government to pass a law to effectively strip the Panthers of their right to openly carry guns in public by creating the Mulford Act in 1967. The Black Panthers marched on the state capital building openly armed with guns, while the politicians were in the process of pressing the Mulford Act and started the media into helping the Panthers organization, but the Mulford Act was passed, stripping the communities' right to openly bear arms and eliminated the Panthers patrolling the police with guns. This is the critical point in the Panther history, when they began to confuse the mandatory separation necessary for aboveground and underground operational activities. Their "legal" confrontational politics dissolved into launching offensive strikes in the public arena when Huey carried a concealed handgun in a hollowed out legal book, he carried around on the night of the shootout between him and the Oakland Police took place. This one event has remained concealed from most people for over 40 years until the book, "Will You Die With Me" by Flores "fly" Forbes was published. In this book Fly exposes the truth about the death of officer Frey and the resulting Free Huey movement to save Huey from the gas chamber and get him released. Fly was a high-ranking Panther security official and personally bodyguard for Huey.
When the Minister of Information Eldridge Cleaver took it upon himself to attempt to register an offensive retaliation against the system and openly shot cops in full Panther uniform after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., the Panthers were put permanently on a course of confusion towards the proper practice and balance between aboveground and underground operations. This also provided the government a convenient way to convince the public that the panthers were crazed fanatics in need of extermination and should be deemed Public Enemy Number One!
Eventually the Panthers were manipulated by COINTELPRO into violently feuding with each other in a tragic episode most have come to regard as "the split" in the organization, incorrectly thought of as the East Coast chapters against the West Coast chapters, but was more accurately a division between those Panthers who wanted to stay aboveground and those who wanted to go underground. The aboveground faction sided with Huey and the underground sided with Eldridge. None of them realized then that the government's COINTELPRO had set them all up and manipulated the wedge between them by manufacturing precise handwritten letters and signatures of both Huey and Eldridge. One letter was written to Huey, signed by the government in Eldridge's handwriting stating that Eldridge intended to do serious harm to Huey. The other letter was written to Eldridge by the government in Huey's handwriting stating that Huey intended to shoot at Eldridge. Divide and conquer led to the destruction of the most highly advanced Black organization of the 1960's for Black people trapped in the hells of Amerikkka!!! All this could have been avoided if the Black Panthers adhered to a strict line of aboveground armed self-defense and underground-armed struggle.
Out of this unfortunate disaster of the most effective groups in the 1960's Black Liberation Struggle arose a war torn group of Panther Elders from that period who embody pessimistic post-traumatic stress defeatism. There are a few elders from that era who still have faith in the struggle for freedom so there are some exceptions to the rule, but most elders from back then have took to criticizing the youth for their lack of knowledge of self, fighting each other, and apolitical ways. These holier than though, self-righteous elders fail to take responsibility for being manipulated into Black (Panther) on Black (Panther) violence themselves by COINTELPRO. Instead of being brave and properly educating us, the youth just inherited the Black on Black violence from these elders. Some of them even go so far as to still be foolish enough to feud with each other to this very day at different Panther reunions and rallies for political prisoners who are still locked down from back then!
The Black Riders are the New Generation Black Panthers. We have scientifically analyzed history and mastered the art of confrontational politics. We started off striking fear in the enemy by creating our Watch-A-Pig program. This hard line program consists of fearless Black Rider Warriors who wear camouflaged paramilitary fatigues, berets, and big black boots. We patrol the ruthless barbarian police with video cameras, high tech walkie-talkies, state of the art police scanners, tasers, mace, bats, knives, and any other lethal weapons we can get a hold of. This educates Black people to be fearless against police terrorism, many people have come out of their homes with their own video cameras or camera phones and joined us in line to help watch the pigs, to stop them from hurting the Black community. We have been operating the Watch-A-Pig program for over thirteen years now. Since the passage of the Mulford Act outlawing the original Panthers and the communities' right to openly carry guns in public, we keep legally registered guns on security in Black Rider homes and buildings in case the pigs attack us unjustly and we have to defend ourselves. We openly do military drills and carry long swords or machete whenever legal to do so. We train in many different martial art armed and unarmed combat styles like short staff, sword fighting, katana, Judo, Kung-Fu, Dynamic kicks, arts of breaking, and especially Shodokan death blows. Most of our warriors have developed unorthodox fighting methods gleaned from survival on the dangerous Los Angeles gangland streets.
We have launched large-scale confrontations against many different military type pig stations all over L. A. The most known confrontational political demonstration we did was when we struck the L. A. P. D. headquarters Thirty Deep strong seething with animosity, hostility, and stern faced, after they savagely murdered a 13-year-old boy named Devin Brown in 2005. We led 500 people in a full-scale clash with the armed supremacist group called the Minute "Klan" Men and their racist police bodyguards in Leimert Park. We kicked the Minute "Klan" completely out the "hood". We also stood face to face against overwhelming odds when we ran up on the gigantic L. A. Federal Building to confront the viciously sadistic F. B. I. because of their unjust attack and political incarceration of the San Francisco 8 Panther Elders stemming from a charge that happened way back in 1971.
We have an upgraded self-defense philosophy and a strict policy of separating aboveground and underground activity. The U. S. Governments new COINTELPRO called homeland Security and their PATRIOT Act guidelines have tried to attack us many times and we have defended ourselves from their weak, mindless attempts to eliminate our organization. We will advance the New Black Liberation Movement wave after wave until our people's freedom is secured. He who does not fear the death of a thousand cuts will dare to unseat the emperor!
The Black man and Black woman once culturally inspired, properly trained, and boldly led are the greatest human fighting machines the world has ever known!
POLITICS IS WAR WITHOUT BLOODSHED AND WAR IS POLITICS WITH BLOODSHED!
POWER TO THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T FEAR FREEDOM!

In honor of Imamu Fahiym Olugbala Ali, warrior of the Republic of New Africa

Also known as Fahiym "RBG" Ali, he was a Pan-African organizer working on uniting the vanguards of New Afrika. Fahiym overstood that you ride together in peace against the enemy, or you are alone without allies.

LETS DO THE WORK:
Agitate until we create a stable society that benefits all our people.
Instigate the nation until we remedy the injustices of society.
Motivate our people to set a meaningful path for the coming generations.
Educate our people to free our minds and develop an Afrikan consciousness.

Free The Land, New Afrikans, Land is the basis of Independence! Abibifahodie is The Way! Revolution is The Solution! Panther Luv wrapped in Black Power! Uhuru!
- quotes from Amos Wilson:
“To manipulate history is to manipulate consciousness; to manipulate consciousness is manipulate possibilities; and to manipulate possibilities is to manipulate power.”
“Laws in and of themselves will not protect us; laws are words written on paper; laws protect no one… Ultimately, it means that we can only protect our rights and interests as people, not through laws written by other people and laws enforced by other people, but through the power to prevent other people from having their way with us.”
“We must understand the tremendous value of the study of history for the regaining of power. If our education is not about gaining real power, we are being mis-educated and misled and we will die “educated” and misled.”
“The study of history cannot be a mere celebration of those who struggle on our behalf. We must be instructed by history and should transform history into concrete reality, into planning and development, into the construction of power and the ability to ensure our survival as a people. If not, Black history month becomes an exercise in the inflation of egos; it becomes an exercise that cuts us further off from reality.”
“There are those of us who are made ashamed of our history of enslavement, who are made ashamed by the distorted presentation of Afrikan history, are made to think that prior to slavery we were essentially culturally invisible and savage and only achieved visibility and civility when the European came on the scene. Many of us attempt to repress any knowledge of our slave experience. But we should heed the fact that a person and people who suffer from social amnesia live lives that are determined by fear, anxiety, terror and trauma. When we attempt to escape our history because we are afraid of it, when we escape knowledge because it terrifies and makes us feel ashamed, then it is terror and fear and shame that determines our lives. We then live, not in terms of reality and in terms of the integration of our reality but in terms of what we are afraid of, i.e., what we are ashamed of, what we are trying to hide, what we are trying not to confront ourselves with. Life is then lived in terms of denial, in terms of escape and addiction. Many of the murders, deaths and much of the destruction that we see in our communities today are the result of people trying to escape history, and reality.”

NEW PANTHERS STUNNED BY VIOLENT DEATH OF FAHIYM RBG ALI, THEIR MUCH LOVED MINISTER OF INFORMATION!!

Early on Tuesday evening, May 27th, the New Black Panther Party was stunned beyond words to learn that their promising and much loved national minister of information Fahiym ‘RBG’ Ali had been senselessly gunned down in his Florida community.
Apparently, Ali was gunned down in a drive-by after having had a minor altercation earlier with a stranger! Emergency medical personnel were unable to save the stalwart consciousness-raising warrior at a nearby hospital.
Imamu Fahiym Olugbala Ali was also serving as the chairman of the People’s Convention Center of the Provisional Government of the Republic of New Afrika and as a New Afrikan Legionnaire at the time of his death.
He was only 41.
“I would like to believe that the person who did this had no idea who our brother was, or else he likely would not have done it,” said Zayid Muhammad, the Party’s national minister of culture, who is also a gun violence survivor.
“The loss of our brother to this senseless violence should serve as an indicator to all that no one is immune to this plague.
“Most upsettingly is that we truly need young men like Fahiym in the trenches of our communities, using their survivals, their courage and their knowledge to turn this thing around,” finished Muhammad.
Ali was among the soldiers of the New Black Panther Party who withstood physically provocative Texas Rangers in Jasper, Texas just weeks ago protesting the lynching of Alfred Wright.
It must also be noted that Ali was slain on the birth anniversary of Emmitt Till, the Chicago teen whose savage lynching in Mississippi in 1955 actually became a galvanizing factor in the emergence of the Civil Rights Movement. Ali was working with the Panthers on a special demonstration to be held at the U.S. Justice Department on August 28th, to mark the anniversary of Till’s lynching.
"Our flag will be at half mast for this brother whom we loved," said Krystal Muhammad, the Party's national chair...

It's an honor to be in such a cipher.

With Black Rider Liberation Party - Miami chapter.



2014-06-02 message from E Da Ref, Min. Public Relations for the Black Riders Liberation Party - Oakland Chapter [https://www.facebook.com/e.d.ref/posts/10202929237205771]:
On May 27th 2014 The Minister of Information of The New Black Panther Party (NBPP) and Chairman of the Peoples Convention Center of The Provisional Government Republic of New Afrika (PCC PG-RNA), Fahiym Olugbala Ali was brutally assassinated in the streets of Miami, FL.
He recently held down the front line in a standoff and physical altercation with the pig ranger sheriffs in front of a pig department on Highway 190 West in Jasper TX during The National Rally for Justice for Alfred Wright demonstration.
He also helped organize and launch numerous community outreach missions with a few of our comrades the Miami Chapter of The Black Riders Liberation Party (BRLP) through some of the roughest Miami neighborhoods like; Overtown, Liberty City, Pork N’ Beans Projects and Little Haiti.
He was allegedly gunned down in a drive by shooting after a minor altercation. The Emergency medical personal was unable to save the brother at a nearby hospital. However we don’t think this explanation is that simple in this situation. We don’t think the murder of Bro. Fahiym Ali is a coincidence. We will not be naïve enough to fall for the fallacy being portrayed which leads some of us to come to a false assumption/conclusion that this incident was just simply Black on Black genocide as usual. We don’t buy it!
We believe this is a vicious repressive COINTELPRO attack against the new generation African Liberation Movement commonly known as the RBG movement. Whenever someone with a revolutionary charged background dies, let alone murdered, we should never write it off as a common coincidence. Our assassination alarms should instantly sound off in our psyche.
Let’s not forget just 3 months ago, Veteran Elder Vice President of RNA and Mayor elect Jackson MI; Chokwe Lumumba, just passed away of a mysterious death by “unknown natural causes”. You can call it a conspiracy if you wish. We call it a continuous constructed connection of counter-revolutionary attacks and attempt to neutralize the struggle for African Liberation.
Bro. Fahiym was a fierce fighter for New Afrikan Nationalism and Independence. He was also very interested in developing an understanding of Black Riders Ideology of Revolutionary African Inter-Communalism to come to a common ground and achieve common objectives in our struggle for total liberation and self-determination of African communities all over the globe.
“LETS DO THE WORK:
Agitate until we can create a stable societythat benefits all our people. Instigate the nation until we remedy the injustices of society.
Motivate our people to set a meaningful path for the coming generations.
Educate our people to free our minds and develop an Afrikan consciousness.” –Imamu Fahiym Olugbala Ali
Our brother, warrior, and comrade in the struggle has transitioned to the realm of eternity. The furious lashing out of our enemy shows their fear and weakness. It just shows us how effective the methods we are using to liberate ourselves are. Let the spirit of his Revolutionary Ideas and commitment live on in the minds and hearts of the people. As he joins our ancestors in the afterlife, let not the blood, sweat, tears, struggle and sacrifice go in vain. ASE!
RISE IN POWER FAHIYM ALI!
FREE THE LAND BY ANY MEANS NESSASARY!!!
ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE WHO DON’T FEAR FREEDOM!!!

Defend Etana and Mecca Shakur! (Black Rider Liberation Party - Los Angeles chapter)

Black Rider Liberation Party (Los Angeles chapter) [link]

"These sisters were proven innocent and not guilty after trial for the trumped up charges of assault and battery on a single pig police officer, trespassing, resisting arrest, and obstructing justice, after they successfully defended themselves and our people."
Picture of BRLP - LA Minister of Information, (left) Mecca Shakur and BRLP - LA Minister of Community Programs, (right) Etana Shakur:



"ALL CHARGES HAVE BEEN DROPPED! TOTAL VICTORY IS WHEN OUR PEOPLE ARE FREE..."
(text adapted from 2014-05-23 statement from Mecca and Etana Shakur, issued by the Black Riders Liberation Party, "New Generation Black Panthers")
Revolutionary Greetings! Black Power! All Power to the People!
We would like to thank all of our supporters, ancestors, and God for all the love and strength that was given to us. There is no way we could be walking the streets today if it was not for that righteous POWER backing us up. Now we must all pick up the fight and deliver our people from the hells of racist AmeriKKKa. As long as the evil forces of white supremacy, capitalism, and U.S imperialism still run rampant on the planet, we can never truly be free. We on the streets are in nothing but minimum security while those of us behind bars in concentration camps are in maximum security! Just like Malcolm X taught us years ago. "AMERIKKKA IS A BIG PRISON FOR BLACK PEOPLE!" Also, Black Women are the fastest growing prison population in the racist Empire.
We are asking now that you support our other comrades who have fought diligently against the oppressors like General T.A.C.O, Comrade Jihad, and all of the numerous brothers (males) that still face highly charged political trials for their Revolutionary beliefs and actions for 18 years now!
We must never forgive or forget the brutal murders of people like Oscar Grant, Trayvon Martin, Jordan Davis, and many many more. MALCOLM X said," I DON'T CALL IT VIOLENCE WHEN IT'S SELF-DEFENSE, I CALL IT INTELLIGENCE!!!"
Also, to our house negro political haters and racist enemies who try to slander and smear, harass, jail, or KILL US: WE WILL NOT GIVE UP THE FIGHT! ! !
Black Men and Women have a right to say "NO" to racist attacks! BLACK POWER! ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE! BLACK WOMEN ARE PANTHERS TOO!
BLACK MEN AND WOMEN MUST UNITE AND PROTECT OUR CHILDREN FROM THE RACIST PIGS! DEFEND SELF-DEFENSE!
BLACK POWER TO BLACK MEN, BLACK POWER TO BLACK WOMEN, ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE! WE WILL WIN! Africa and Africans on the planet will be FREE!
ASE' THANK YOU! ... SUPPORT BLACK RIDERS... COMING TO A HOOD NEAR YOU!!!
SINCERELY YOURS,
[signed] MECCA SHAKUR AND ETANA SHAKUR... RBG 4 LIFE!
P.S. Our Shero and example is Assata Shakur, who is in exile in Cuba. HANDS OFF ASSATA!!!
Women are strong leaders and teachers in our organization! Here's a clip from the Chief Of Staff Laalaa Shakur breaking down deep knowledge taught to us by General T.A.C.O.
DON'T POLITICALLY HATE, JUST CONGRATULATE!
IF YOU WANT TO JOIN AND BE DOWN, INBOX OR EMAIL US AT blackriders1996@gmail.com
Fred Hampton Sr. said, "YOU CAN JAIL A REVOLUTIONARY, BUT YOU CAN'T JAIL THE REVOLUTION! YOU CAN KILL A REVOLUTIONARY, BUT YOU CAN'T KILL THE REVOLUTION!!!"


Hands off the Black Riders' Mecca & Etana Shakur!
(All text adapted from May 12th message by BRLP founder Gen. TACO) Defend Mecca & Etana Shakur and their human right to self defense against police abuse and political repression! They stood up for you -- stand up for them! They defended themselves and the human right to self-defense against a racist police assault -- defend them against racist political repression!
Keep these two revolutionary Black moms, community leaders and freedom fighters Mecca & Etana Shakur FREE! You can donate on a new GoFundMe page set up for their defense and community education efforts: [http://www.gofundme.com/939rw0]. All donations will go to the BRLP to help keep Mecca & Etana free or to deal with the consequences if these two revolutionary Black moms are imprisoned. For more information, go to [facebook.com/BlackRidersLiberationParty], or contact the BRLP of LA at [323-289-4457] [blackriders1996@gmail.com].

A NATION CAN RISE NO HIGHER THEN IT'S WOMEN!
COME OUT AND SUPPORT THESE SISTERS IN THE STRUGGLE!
HELP US STOP THIS LEGAL LYNCHING!
On the day after Mother's Day (May 12th), the Ingleside KKKourt trial continues as the Jury is still trying to figure out if the LAPD "officer" had notified Etana of her arrest before he assaulted her, and whether Mecca allegedly "jumped in" with intent to harm the "officer". What will be the verdict?! Will the criminal "injustice" system slap Black People in the face again like in the cases of Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis?! On May 6th, the original trespassing charge was dropped by the judge. If the probable cause for the initial arrest was proven false, then logically one would think all the charges would be dropped! But the racist law of the dominant nation is insane, crazy, and illogical. It would exterminate all Black People! Other Black Riders in L.A. and Oakland are also facing political trials in the coming weeks. Drop all charges!! Not guilty!!!
According to a recent report from Women’s Justice Center of Sonoma, racist police officers in the U.S.A. commit routine violence against women of color without proper reporting, accountability, or consequences.
Late 2013, just a few days after the Black Riders Liberation Party were honored by Kathleen Cleaver and other elders of the original Black Panther Party for service and dedication to revolutionary struggle [link], Etana and Mecca Shakur were physically assaulted by a (single) Inglewood male pig Roger Zeller as they attempted to leave a grocery store while carrying copies of the BRLP newspaper. Etana and Mecca Shakur successfully defended themselves against the assault by saying "NO!", and bringing attention from community members in the vicinity to act as witnesses to an illegal kidnapping. Both were arrested and suffered three days of jail time for nothing, and were released...
Now, during their KKKourt trial stemming from the incident, both women are facing further incarceration, isolation from their community, and separation from their children, all for their political belief that women have the right to stand up and say NO to physical attack.
These strong Black Women are high-ranking members of the BRLP leadership, and highly respected in the community. Etana Shakur is Minister of Community Programs; Mecca Shakur is Minister of Information and a member of the local station board of KPFK Pacifica free speech community radio. These mothers helped to create the George Jackson Freedom School, which provides self-defense and African cultural awareness classes to young Black Children in South Central LA.
Both Mecca and Etana are mothers facing separation from their children if this state attack succeeds.
We're calling on all revolutionary and progressive people to come out to support these two strong sisters!
All Power to the People who don't fear freedom!!! We will be free by any means necessary!

M.E.ChX.A de CCSF

“The Birth of M.E.ChX.A 2014” 2014-04-24 by Itzel Calvo (reprinted from the March-April 2014 issue of The Organizer newspaper) [http://socialistorganizer.org/the-birth-of-m-e-chx-a-2014/]:

For decades, the Chicano Movement was among the most successful in organizing students and having demands met. After the Chicano Movement of the 1960s and early '70s, however, there have been very few Chican@ student-led movements. What we've seen in the past decade has been mass mobilization within the undocumented community for a humane immigration reform involving undocumented youth groups, religious organizations, and community organizations. It's about to be a decade since the wave of mass protest actions across the country for immigration reform back in the spring of 2006, but nothing has been done since that time on a national level for immigrants other than the passing of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which only benefits those who are considered an asset to the U.S economy.
The discontent in the Latino community with politicians who keep promising a just immigration reform is much like the discontent with the Democratic Party in relation to Chicanos who were appointed or elected to political office. The Chicano organizations began to realize that these politicians did not care for the average Chican@ or their living standards in los barrios, so they began to withdraw from the Democratic Party. With the wave of new migration from Latin America, the undocumented community grew and began a movement of its own.  For the Chicano organizations, the issues concerning the undocumented community were last on the agenda.
The vision of creating a M.E.Ch.X.A chapter at  City College of San Francisco (CCSF) became a reality on Tuesday, March 11. Students knew that creating a chapter was vital in the struggle to protect and defend CCSF's mission of remaining accessible to all students. The organizations already established on campus were not strong enough, or determined enough, to take on the whole accreditation crisis or the bad administrative policies that disproportionately affect students of color.
One of those policies was the new payment policy implemented to make sure that students paid their tuition up front. Undocumented students who do not qualify for AB540 -- a policy that would allow them to receive in-state tuition and the bog waiver, which pays their tuition, if eligible -- would have to pay a minimum of $800 per class at a community-college level. Tuition fees keep increasing and resources are scarce.
The development of a M.E.Ch.X.A chapter on campus has grown in the past month. It was part of the rally that happened two days after the chapter's formation; eight chapter members were part of the student occupation of the administration building, as ending the payment policy was one of the demands of the student action. We've had tremendous support from students and faculty members in the Latino Studies Department, which has proven the level of commitment of students and faculty towards the movement.
M.E.Ch.A is a national organization that promotes higher education, political involvement, cultura and historia. The undocumented community shares those same struggles, but with the additional burden of not having a legal status in the country to be able to achieve those goals.
The organization on the CCSF campus of undocumented students is an exception to the militancy and self-determination of other undocumented groups in San Francisco. A few campus groups offer a safe space where undocumented students can gather and talk about issues within the community; these groups offer resources to undocumented students. This is helpful, but it's very limited. When it comes to fighting back against the attacks on public education, these groups are less willing to struggle since the majority qualify for AB540.
Those affected by the school administration's attacks -- and those truly wanting to defend the rights of ALL undocumented students -- found they had no option but to organize themselves and be involved in political discussions about how best to defend public education and demand changes to the administration's policies.
As un undocumented student, it has been very conflicting for me to start a chapter of an organization that has not given recognition to undocumented students throughout the majority of its history. It seems that when it comes to the undocumented question, the only thing M.E.Ch.A has done nationally is stand in solidarity with the undocumented student struggle in the most recent years.
For the most part, Chicanos do not understand the undocumented struggle. And when you have a group of undocumented students who understand the struggle but don't wish to act on it, things gets complicated and you begin to question the reasoning of the organization's existence.
Having said this, not all M.E.Ch.A chapters have stood on the sidelines in relation to undocumented immigrants. The M.E.Ch.A chapter at UC Berkeley, for example, did an amazing job organizing demonstrations against new UC President Janet Napolitano, the former department head of Homeland Security who was responsible for hundreds of thousands of deportations under the Obama administration.
In hopes of creating a bridge between understanding the undocumented struggle and taking action on the issues that affect our community regardless of citizenship status, M.E.ChX.A de CCSF will be inclusive to all who identify with Chicanismo.
On April 4-6 Mechistas from our CCSF chapter attended the M.E.Ch.A. California statewide conference in order to be officially recognized as a chapter and introduce our ideas to revitalize the movement. We had a very welcoming experience and an understanding of how the organization works. There is no doubt that other M.E.Ch.A. chapters agreed with us when it comes to acknowledging that the founding documentos of the organization are outdated and need to be more inclusive to our undocumented brothers and sisters.
Along with getting recognized, our chapter was chosen to organize the next regional meeting for Alta Califas Norte and also one of our mechistas, Lalo Gonzalez, was elected National M.E.Ch.A. Co-Chair to represent our region at Nationals. Given this opportunity, we will push for our vision of taking back what it rightfully ours, access to education, immigration reform, and protecting Ethnic Studies. Power comes with numbers, and M.E.ChX.A de CCSF is growing rapidly. It's only a matter of time when it comes to bringing back el movimiento.
