"Now, when Nutter was on Philly's City Council, in 2006 alone, 17 unarmed Black men were murdered by Philly cops. Nutter never had anything to say then."
Dear friends,
This past Sunday, Uncle Tom Nutter, the mayor of Philadelphia, went into a Black church, in Bill Cosby fashion, and scolded people about Black youth betraying their "race". Every fake Black progressive and moderate in Philly came out in support of the mayor's despicable tirade.
Now, when Nutter was on Philly's City Council, in 2006 alone, 17 unarmed Black men were murdered by Philly cops. Nutter never had anything to say then. Only a couple of years earlier, four Philly cops murdered a NAKED Black woman who had a knife. How cowardly can you be? Again, Nutter had nothing to say.
However, we now are hearing about a case where, just the other day, "white" youth went out to murder the first Black person they could find, and did so, in Mississippi. Where's all of the rage?
On the link below is a short video from CNN, regarding the tragedy in Mississippi.

Education and social services are being slashed. The government tells us there is no money.
Yet when it comes to funding the war and occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, there is never a question of coming up with money. And now the Pentagon is launching a new war on the African continent with the bombing of Libya.
It’s time to fight back!
