The White House Initiative on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (WHIAANHPI) posted a celebration of Women’s History Month Friday. They honored Maoist activist Yuri Kochiyama, who publicly admired terrorist Usama bin Laden and lauded the communist massacre in Peru.
Kochiyama was a Japanese-American agitator for communism and racial equality during the 20th century. She had been a victim of FDR’s wartime internment of Japanese-Americans.
Yuri loved Mao’s Great Leap Forward and was an advocate for terrorists.
The WHAANHPI honored Kochiyama’s “political and civil rights” work but didn’t mention her horrid affections for terrorists throughout the world.
“I consider Usama bin Laden as one of the people that I admire. To me, he is in the category of Malcolm X, Che Guevara, Patrice Lumumba, Fidel Castro,” Kochiyama said after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001,. “I thank Islam for bin Laden. America’s greed, aggressiveness, and self-righteous arrogance must be stopped. War and weaponry must be abolished.”
In the same 2003 interview, Kuchiyama said, “bin Laden has been primarily fighting U.S. dominance even when he received money from the U.S., when he was fighting in Afghanistan. He was fighting for Islam and all people who believe in Islam, against westerners — especially the U.S. — even when he was fighting against the Russians.”
Kochiyama also supported the Shining Path movement, a Maoist terrorist cell led by former philosophy professor Abimael Guzmán. Shining Path killed at least 24,000 people over the course of 12 years. This was during the communist group’s efforts to overturn the government.
“What has been taking place in both Peru and the U.S. is a serious campaign to discredit Guzmán and the Shining Path movement, tainting them as terrorists, undermining their struggle with lies, isolating them, and intimidating anyone who might support them,” Kochiyama once said of the group.
She was a big supporter of Malcolm X and converted to Islam later in life.
This is who the White House commies admire now.
