Yeshitela: Obama Was “No Community Organizer”
The First Black President has had a “free ride” in continuing the “war against the African community” because the U.S. government had already “destroyed the revolutionary movement on the ground“ decades ago, said Omali Yeshitela, chairman of the African People’s Socialist Party. Speaking at a Day of Solidarity with African People, in Oakland, California, Yeshitela derided the notion that Barack Obama was once a community organizer. “The real organizers,” he said, “have been arrested and killed by the U.S. government.”
