We Demand the Removal of Parasitic Merchants and Slumlords from the African Community.

6. We Demand the Removal of Parasitic Merchants and Slumlords from the African Community. We demand an end to the rip off and terrorizing of our communities by foreign merchants who uphold white power. These agents of white power hold African workers hostage with the only stores available, charging high prices for bad food and shoddy goods, and harassing, threatening and killing African workers who are forced to deal with them. We denounce these foreign merchants in the African communities who function as an arm of the state and collaborate with the police and the military forces of the counterinsurgency. These same forces not only take billions of dollars out of the African community, they are also complicit in bringing drugs into the community.

We also demand an end to the vicious slumlords that drain the African community of millions of dollars for rundown, substandard housing at outrageously high rents.

We demand reparations for this theft and terror so that African workers can control their own communities economically to benefit and serve the needs of the African working class community.
