The folks on the Right are buzzing over a rumor floating around on the 'net that Murdoch and company have given their token black commentator , Dr. Marc Lamont Hill the axe. This comes after they made a big stinky over Hill's web page that they said supported folks like former Black Liberation Army member, Assata Shakur.
Kinda reminds me of the old story about the little girl who picked up a rattlesnake that promised not to bite her. When the snake bit her he simply said, "You knew I was a snake when you picked me up."
The question that folks always ask is "why do black folks go on fox, anyway." As someone who has appeared on the channel multiple times, I also get that question.
Some may suggest that we are just gluttons for punishment. However, the truth is the black "Good ol' Brotha's Club" already has the Liberal media on lock down. So, we go on Fox hoping to get a good punch in before we get caught off.
But that doesn't change the fact that you're still dealin' with the Empire of Evil.
As the old folks used to say, "lay down with dogs; wake up with fleas."

NWSF Bullet: Attack On Assata Shakur Continues
A few months back, NWSF covered the renewed attempts to get 60- 70's activist, Assata Shakur extradited back to the US.
Over, the last couple of weeks, the media have again been running reports about Shakur. The first being Right Wing stories about Fox News commentator , Dr. Marc Lamont Hill's, alleged support for Shakur.
Today, CBS is running a story about activists who sought political political asylum in Cuba.
What makes this story interesting is that CBS (not known to make mistakes) is reporting that Assata Shakur is the mother of the late rapper Tupac Shakur.
Assata was Tupac's aunt by marriage. Pac's mother is Afeni Shakur. Maybe, tying Assata to Tupac will increase interest in the story?
If the news is getting that little bit of info wrong, what other misinformation is being spread about Assata Shakur and why?
Hmmm?
