I hear this quote all the time but didn't know that it came from The Autobiography of Assata Shakur (2001, 139). A political prisoner for over half a century, Assata knows better than anyone the fruitlessness of moral suasion to a white supremacist state.

Jalil Muntaqim - The Black Liberation Army Soldier still in prison after 46 years

In 1971, two police officers were shot dead in Harlem.

Nineteen-year-old Jalil Muntaqim of the Black Liberation Army was convicted and sent to prison. Nearly half a century later, he's still locked up – and he believes he's a victim of his involvement in the black liberation struggle

Assata Shakur 4th of July Message

Nineteen Seventy Six, the year of this countries bicentennial and the flags fly high and the politicians roar and the bugles blow and Ray Charles sings praise of Amerika. And while MGM projects red, white and blue rainbows in the sky and Ideal is making Betsy Ross dolls and Seventh Avenue is belting out red, white and blue evening gowns every capitalist from here too California is getting into the act.

They are peddling Buy-centenial cups and coins and bells and belt buckles, churning out red, white and blue lampshades and ice cream and napkins and nooses. It's all one big happy carnival, a red, white and blue circus.

But do we buy the buy-centenial? What does it mean to Black people, to Chicanos to Puerto Ricans? What does it mean to poor people, to working people, to oppressed people?

What does it mean to Cherokee and Crow and Apache and Navajo and Sioux? What does it mean to the victims of Amerika? What do we have to celebrate? Should we celebrate George Washington who sold a slave for a keg of whiskey? Shall we celebrate the signers of the Declaration of Independence who referred to Native Americans are "Merciless Indian Savages" while murdering them and ripping off their land?

Shall we celebrate Wounded Knee, Watergate and Birmingham? Shall we celebrate Orangeburg, Attica, Kent State, Dred Scott, McCarthyism, Ludlow and Hayes? Shall we celebrate the lynchings, the concentration camps, and the wars and the greed? Shall we celebrate the bought elections, the FBI, the CIA, big brother, the big stick, burning crosses and the dollar diplomat?

There is no liberty, no justice, no freedom in Amerika. In 1776, Black people were slaves. In 1976, we are still slaves, enslaved by a racist system where the haves control everything and the have nots have to beg just to work. In 1776, this country was founded by the landed aristocracy who sought mainly to protect their interests. And in 1976 this country is still in the hands of a rich few who thrive off the misery of the many. No, we must not buy their bicentennial. Only a fool celebrates his own oppression.

There is a saying, "When your child cries and is hungry and you have no food to feed him, sing him to sleep". And so when inflation is raging, when taxes are soaring, when schools are closing, when corruption and unemployment are rampant and when over 70% of the people in this country are dissatisfied with the government, the rulers of this country creates a bicentennial lullaby. They have the wealth but rather than share it they try to pacify us with patriotism and pagentry. 'let them eat apple pie" they snicker. "Let them wear the color of the blood we make them shed" of the racism we manipulate them with and the misery and grief we make them suffer".

We have nothing to celebrate. Let the Rockefellers and the DuPonts and the Fords and the Mellon's celebrate. It is their bicentennial. Let them drape themselves with a red, white and blue shroud and wail the last desperate bellows of a dying bull. But let us hear a different drummer.

Let us issue a new declaration, a people's declaration. Let us work towards a second revolution, a revolution of the have nots, of the oppressed and the powerless. And let us work, let us organize, let us struggle so that a hundred years from now, our children will have something real to celebrate.

In solidarity and struggle,

Assata Shakur

Middlesex County Jail

June 29th, 1976

so i had a dream last night that was basically a rewrite of bnha season 6, and at one point re-destro sent geten to fight the titanic because it was about to steamroll over a part of non-destroyed deika city (and probably spawn more animated sequels) and the scene went:

re-destro: geten! go deal with the titanic!

geten: *goes to deal with the titanic*

re-destro, monologuing while turning to tsuyu: so we are about to witness a moron failing to deal with the titanic,

does throwing a stone at a tank

make a child a terrorist?

is terrorism about resisting oppression? is terrorism about demanding your birthright to live safely and peacefully in your homeland? is terrorism about hating the killers of your family, your friends and your people?

accusations of terrorism are often weaponized against those fighting for liberation and sovereignty and dignity. the french settlers called the algerians terrorists. the indian government calls the kashmiris terrorists. the pakistani army calls pashtun activists terrorists. the turkish government calls the kurds terrorists. apartheid south africa called nelson mandela a terrorist. americans called the vietcong and the black panthers terrorists. the israelis call the palestinians terrorists. all oppressive regimes are connected. all oppressed people are connected. injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

#fares odeh #this is the justification that israel uses to imprison and kill palestinian children #accusations of terrorism are often weaponized against poc who fight for liberation #'wider impact: after odeh's picture became famous israeli tanks were told to start shooting at stone throwers' absolutely insane #free palestine #palestine #gaza #from the river to the sea palestine will be free #glory to the martyrs #long live palestine #death to israel #long live the resistance #save the children #palestinian resistance
