I know, have known, still know and have kept the company of a number of African-Americans who you would call "Revolutionaries – who were granted political asylum here in Sweden - and two others ( I can provide all the names if you so request) who were passing through – and are still travelling as alleged victims of COINTELPRO...
The FBI before Brother Obama and Brother Obama himself cannot be said to be on the wrong side of the law nor can you be said to be dead right about Assata Shakur or the modus operandi of the Black Liberation Army of which she was a dedicated "activist"
We must not be so naïve that we cannot distinguish between the armchair rhetoric of "revolutionary violence" from criminal action.

Anyone who thinks that Obama must not have approved putting a high-profiled Pan-Afrikanist Freedom Fighter in political exile like Assata Shakur at the top of the FBI most wanted list /billboards must be incredibly naive. The Afrikan Stalwart and Freedom Fighter is one of the reasons for the many reported attempts to assassinate Pan-Afrikanist Hero Fidel Castro. None of the white POTUS put the Great Afrikan Queen on such a list. It is Obama who had to do it. What a pity! The Great Assata Shakur is no "terrorist." She is an Afrikan Freedom Fighter in political exile. Thanks a heap to Professor Angela Davis and other Pan-Afrikan Revolutionaries who are speaking out. Thanks a heap also to Cuba for telling Washington to go hang.http://concreteloop.com/2013/05/awareness-angela-davis- speaks-on-assata-shakurs-fbi- terrorist-status
