We Refuse to Accept Slavery in Any Form Here and Around the World
Fight the Power, And Transform the People, for Revolution
Los Angeles May 1, 2014
Editorial:
Three Outrages in Four Days in AmeriKKKa
The anti-affirmative action decision by the Supreme Court, the fascist mob around rancher Cliven Bundy, racist rants by LA Clipper owner Donald Sterling—these outrages in April reveal how tightly white supremacy is woven into the fabric of Amerikkka. The only solution to the oppression of Black and other oppressed people, and to other foundational outrages in this society, is REAL REVOLUTION.
There would be no United States as we now know it today without slavery. That is a simple and basic truth.
Bob Avakian, BAsics 1:1
Donald Sterling Rears His Ugly Racist Head
The NBA reflects, serves, and promotes the exploitative and oppressive values of this system. Sterling—with his uncontested record of blatantly promoting white supremacy— tells you much about what that is all about.

We don't need a "Rape Task Force"! We need a REVOLUTION and a world WITHOUT RAPE!
