CCNY Snitch a Racist?

Earlier this week, sensationalist rag, The New York Daily News printed a piece attacking a group City College of New York students for the name of their campus community center. The center, it was learned, was outed by CCNY student, Sergey Kadinsky. Allegedly, it seems Kadinsky has some not so acceptable views on various issues himself.

All Out For The Fight quoted some interesting accusations about this alleged snitch taken from NYC Indymedia.

According to an anonymous CUNY student, Kadinsky is anti-Arab and has attacked "students who speak out against islamophobia and the Israeli occupation of Palestine." The students goes on to mention that Kadinsky has "written inflamatory pieces attacking affirmative action; Black culture;".

Kadinsky is so far out on the right that, according to the CUNY student, "even Hiller, the pro-zionist group, disassociates itself from his tactics." The student also speculates that Kadinsky love for the NYPD is so intense that the uproar over the center is Kadinsky's way of distracting attention from the recent police killing of the weaponless Sean Bell and the injuring of his two cohorts.

But Kadinsky may not be taking all the character questions laying down. In a post on NYC Indymedia, he shoots back "Bring it on, do your worst (as that is all you are capable of doing) I will be waiting. Shitheads."

Assata Shakur: America's Most Wanted ?// Black People vs. N*****s; Esquire sparks debate

When did Assata Shakur become America's Most Wanted? This recent article in the Daily News reveals that Shakur AKA Joanne Chesimard , currently has a $1 million dollar bounty on her head. Shakur, who is on the lamb in Cuba, recently made news when a New York City College student complained to The New York Daily News that the Guillermo Morales/Assata Shakur Community Center naming was an offense to the family of New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster.

Chesimard was convicted of the trooper's murder in 1974 but subsequently escaped, only to flee to Cuba in 1979.

Nah Right has it's own take on the story, with a few shots thrown at The New York Daily News. Can't say I disagree with that take.

It's been proven time an time again that the F.B.I. under the leadership of J. Edgar Hoover was targeting black "radicals" and subversive element, such as the Black Panthers, Martin Luther King and The Nation of Islam (not to mention the Communist Party) with it's own offensive know as COINTELPRO. Supposedly that initiative ended in 1971, but is it beyond belief that Chesimard was setup similar to Geronimo Pratt?

We've since learned that City College bowed in to the pressure of a sensationalist news story. Should we be surprised?
