So many people depend on Black Americans not being aware of what is really happening in the world. Leave it to God and we Revs will leave it to "our" representatives in Washington.  

 

Journalist Jeremy Scahill calls it "murder." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/02/jeremy-scahill-says-drone-strikes-murders_n_1565441.html). Drone killings that Black Americans dutifully assume are Bush drones or the devil behind Obama!

 

Some 2,800 civilians have been killed by Obama's drones--and most of those deaths have been children

 

Scahill: If you go to the village of Al-Majalah in Yemen, where I was, and you see the unexploded cluster bombs and you have the list and photographic evidence, as I do --you will see that the women and children represented the vast majority of the deaths in this first strike which Obama authorized on Yemen"Those people were murdered by President Obama, on his orders, because there was believed to be someone from al-Qaeda in that area.

 

Between the conferences and fundraisers hosted by non-profits and profiteers, between the purchasing of new cars and high-definition television systems and vacation airline tickets, between the honorary awards ceremonies and television appearances, between the funerals for young Black children murdered here by vigilantes or good ole Americans who love their guns, and law enforcement who are just doing their job, see the unnamed children slaughtered weekly by the Commander and Chief's weapons of mass destruction.   Look at these photos of bloody, limp children and try to understand that you are looking at the U.S. Empire's "War on Terrorism."

 

Darius Simmons will not be the last Black child murdered in the U.S., and other children will die in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, and Iraq, so ask yourself if you are so blessed to be an American and not a "terrorist"

 

--because you are a terrorist!

 

This should not be too difficult to understand!
