[align=center]JUSTICE FOR ANTHONY WALKER
MEANS
JAIL HIS KILLERS NOW!

Anthony Walker was brutally murdered on Friday 29 July 2005, in Liverpool. At about 11.30pm three or four men attacked him in a park in Huyton after he, his friend and 17 year old male cousin walked away from a bus stop to avoid the racial slurs and taunting by white nationalists. Anthony Walker was just 18 years old. The murderers hit him with such force that the axe was embedded in his forehead. [/align]

[align=center]The UHURU Movement Holds the British Government Responsible[/b]
The UHURU Movement holds the government responsible for the attack on Anthony Walker. Living in this oppressor nation, society is educated to devalue black life, schools constantly teaching us the only role in society for African people is to depend on Europeans for our very existence. Ever since we were snatched from our motherland Africa, through to the 1950’s & 60’s when they deceived us into travelling from the Caribbean to England for better lives, we have been used to build the entire UK with no economic development for our own communities. Even today Africans travel from Africa and the Caribbean struggling to access resources that are constantly being stolen from us and our land. The British media plays a heavy role in encouraging violence against Africans, as it is always quick to criminalise us.

[align=center]Murder of innocent black people in this country by British police and civilians are examples of terrorism too[/b]
Slavery and colonialism are examples of terrorism, but also our daily lives right here in England: the killing of Anthony Walker, Stephen Lawrence, Ricky Bishop, Derek Bennett, Christopher Alder; as well as the massive failing and underachievement of our children in schools; high unemployment and the over representation of young black men in British jails are all concrete examples of government terrorism against African people. African families have no where to turn when we face such attacks on our people, except to the same police that are only put in place to maintain the constant exploitation of African people to serve the British rulers. Many Africans have lost their family members at the hands of killer police and white civilians where these murderers have never been jailed for taking a black life. The Stephen Lawrence case is a prime example, where all evidence proved his killers were guilty, but yet they never faced any prosecution under the British government. Such acts encourage white nationalism amongst the majority of Europeans. [/align]

[align=center]African Workers Need To Take Leadership; Struggle for Self-Determination
Leadership in the African community is constantly being stolen from us and put in the hands of preachers, the police, governments, sell out negroes and MPs, leaving us running to everyone to solve our crisis except ourselves. The UHURU Movement is a courageous organisation that stands in defence of the African masses under the leadership of ourselves: the African working class. We are not fooled by the middle class African petty bourgeoisie such as Diane Abbott, Lee Jasper, Trevor Phillips, etc, that have been put in power only to serve the interest of the British Government. It is very clear to us they are constantly used to diffuse the resistance and rebellion every time the ruling class abuses our democratic rights by waging radical speeches with no conclusive result! The British government uses these opportunists to jump on the bandwagon to raise the question of violence within our communities, only to call for more police. Its not because there is not enough police, the only relationship Africans have ever had with the police is prison, killings and the destruction of community businesses.[/align]

[align=center]Build the UHURU Movement in Liverpool
The UHURU Movement wages a struggle for power for the African working class wherever we are in the world, which can only succeed through organisation. Anthony Walker, Stephen Lawrence, Brian Douglas, Mikey Powell, Ricky Bishop, Derek Bennett all lost their lives because their murderers assumed there would be no consequences to their actions. We understand justice for Anthony Walker is a struggle for African workers to organise for our own material interests. The lack of an organised movement of the African working class is the only reason why the killings of our own are never resolved. The African community & all people who believe in justice owe it to Anthony Walker and all the African people that have died at the hands of imperialist white power to see his murderers are brought to justice. Our demands need to be publicised, and only through organisation can they be realised.[/align]

[align=center][/align]

[align=center]We demand:
1. Reparations to the family of Anthony Walker
2. The immediate arrest and prosecution for murder of all gangmembers who killed Anthony[/align]

[align=center]3. Economic development for the entire black community [/align]

NAT: We don't always see eye to eye on some matters but I have to give you and the Uhuru movement props for being the only black movement organised enough amd brave enough to state you're position openly in a non controlled arena..

I just wiosh that more so called black groups/movement would stop preaching to the coverted and exposed themselves and their idealogy to the masses as you have done..

That i said whilst I naturally agree with most of your points I'd like to comment on two areas for further debate..

1. you state the the Uhuru movement holds the BRITISH goverment responsible for what happened.. Actually i would not only blame them for being the route cause of anthony's death.. I'd go even further and hold every single WHITE person in the country responsible and DEMAND to know what it is THEY are going to do route out the obvious problems they have in their community.. I would also DEMAND to know how two MURDERERS were helped to LEAVE the country..they surely did not do so by themselves or without help..

2. you commented that Uhuru movement requests than AFRICANs take leadership roles an struggle for determination.. Whilst I also agree that we have been sold out by the BLACK petti bourgeosis, I was surprised that the Uhuru movement is not advocating the democratisation of the messers phillips and Jaspers position.. Do you also have plans to for developing broad alliances outside of the AUAF, whilst the AUAF is vital the masses of people do not belong groups within the AUAF..

The masses of people are to be found in black churches and places like these so what is your plan to first engage and then work with organisations outside of your political idealogy?

1. Think the statement is excellent, I like number 1 and number 2 of your statement but have to queston number 3 with respect to this case


However, I dont recall a statement ( correct me if I'm wrong) when Damilola Taylor or Toni- Ann Byfield were killed, africans who were aged 10 and 7 respectively

As comenatural said in the other thread said, we cannot ignore the threat we pose to each other

I hope that behind the scenes the UHURU movement is also campaigning for justice for these two children, who's killers have yet to be found.

ALL IN ALL I think the statement is excellent, and I believ it will make significant waves and ruffle the right feathers,nicely done!!

But we do cash, we always do, and it has got to the stage now where i personally feel so sick to my stomach bout it that i gotta say somethin'

Yeah Yeah F*****g Yeah,

We all know how the WHITE MAN has f****d us up in the past, is f*****g us upin the presentand will ulitmately continue to f**k us up in the future... IT IS THE NATURE OF THE WHITE MAN TO F**K UP BLACK PEOPLE...

WE KNOW DIS....

But what i totally and utterly refuse to accept any more is the ridiculous notion that by screaming and shoutin' to the white man bout how they wronged us, that somehow they are gonna see the error of their ways and right all their wrongs..

THEY AIN'T

What we need to do and HAVE to do is deal with issues affecting our community OURSELVES.. and right now the first thing we have to do is take our head out of the f*****g sand. It come in like we have become so conditioned to defend our community from the whitemans utterings and slights that we as black people have reach a point where we even feel fraid to critisise our own communities shortfalls in case we are accused of bieng SELLOUTS or SELF-HATERS and s**t.

Every single death by murder of a black child or youth or man or woman is a tradgedy. EVERY SINGLE ONE, including the most common type which is BLACK ON BLACK MURDER.... But somehow, we kinda push dat one to one side, and concentrate on the racist murders.

The same passion demonstrated by us tothe racist murder in Liverpool suppose to be echoed at every murder of a black person no matter WHOS HAND perpertrated the act...

The statement DEMANDS....

Hold on a second star.... this murder just happened the other day and the way i see it, at the moment, the policeSEEM to be doing the job correctly.. so ease up and see what happens

Reparations...Please...what reparations could repairthe damage done to the family and friends of Anthony... if you mean financial compensation, i am quite sure that that will be forthcoming under thecriminal compensation scheme...

Economic development for the entire black community..CHA .. star... i think it showspretty bad taste to start advertising political ambitions on the back of the family's pain...NOT THE TIME RIGHT NOW FOR DAT....

We as black people have got to start takingresponsibilty for the actions of our children OURSELVES... cause if we wait for the white man to do it... we will lose a whole generation

Know dat my sentiments are HEARTFELT and not the rantings of NO SELLOUT...

Stereotyping and labelling everybody with the same brush... See dats exactly what i am talking bout man... I come on this site to talk openly and honestly bout issues that concern my community and before you know it, you wanna take everything outta context andstart talking bout stereotyping..

Listen Kunfufo,the short time i have been on this site, i have enjoyed readingyour posts in paticular like the way you willlyrically batta a man dat needs it..but star...read the whole of my statement, and put whati have said into context. I donesay it and i will say it again... we have a problem that needs addressing. I wanna make sure that that problem is at the forefront of peoples mindsbecause to me it is a serious problem...NOTHING MORE.... I ain't dissing and i ain't patronising.

I see your point @ kunjufu,

Although I believe it goes deeper then cmmunity funding, etc. There are still plenty of Youth Clubs about and all they do is act as breeding grounds for trouble makers,a sort of 2nd home

I once went to a youth club in Ladywell and some of the guys were questioning if I was from the 'ends' , callign me a PECKHAM BOY' etc, etc. Luckily for me, someone I know through a friend verified I was from the ends. Needless to say I never went back there

Also banning replica guns would only weed out the wastemans because alot of these guys are oplayign with the real thing. Just ask my friend, whose friend got shot 4 times in the face neck by some pink who wanted to jack his car

Certain people ARE bad breed and ARE a threat to me and people I know

The answer, as ever, lies with the family

comenatural: Listen if we're going to talk from a position of honesty and respect then I'd be grateful if you spend more time getting my NAME right...

Further lets get this straight I am the FIRST not the last.. THE FIRST to stand up and condemn and rail against those ignorant ruff necks would kill one of us without even looking back.. I recognise it has a problem, a major problem.. But lets not get into the habit of OFFSETTING hat happened to Anthony by diverting onto a different aganda just because it plays well to certain audiances...

The fact is HAD the laws on WEAPONS been enforced, would we be here today... HAD the Perps, felt that they would get caught would we be here TODAY!!!? The fact is I as were many other, predicted that this would happen ..BECAUSE the Media and the Goverment virtuall gave a GREEN light to Racial attacks.. So unless we start up it will be open SEASON on everyone period!!!

As for gun crime, knive crime the reason why I don't follow YOUR lead is simply..when we have done this we have allowed the goverment to Ghettoise this type of crime, low priotise its importance.. manmy of us were complaining about this BEFORE the case examples Cashmoney raised...

I have on this forom and the TWO previous forums demanded an end to replica guns sales.. it is only NOW that the goverment has listened nearly TEN years later..why? because now we are no longer killing each other but them too...this has always been the problem and so long as you PLAY it as a BLACK problem THEY won't responsibility for ensuring the LAW is enforced properly for EVERYONE!!!!!

I am in no way saying that we shoud offset the Anthony Walker case, what I'm saying is that if we could show equivalent force for every young black man/woman killed, we could really make some waves

Our enemies are many

hmmmmmmmmmm

may i add

that the reason why we are busy killing ourselves.............it is because when you are in racist system manuipulated by racist whites.....who do their darn best to influence you......................then the results is disaster................

so all in all...................racists+blacks in racist system=death of blacks

With that equtaion arent you assuming mass brainwashing of blacks @ sofresh
