The Shirley Sherrod that most of her defenders do not know!

Imagine farm workers doing back breaking labor in the sweltering sun, sprayed with pesticides and paid less than minimum wage.

Lee Jasper condemns Nation of Islam mosque raid by armed police

On Thursday, July 22, 2010 the police in London, England in the African community of Brixton, in broad daylight raided the Mosque of the Nation Of Islam. The international counter-insurgency of white power has used the decades old "war on drugs" as an excuse to wipe out and attack any notion of African people struggling for self-determination. This is the excuse, a search for a "marijuana farm", the police used in this attack on the NOI in Brixton in an attempt to criminalize any organizational effort for black freedom.
