the people who died in the riots no THEY DONT TELL U THIS why 40years ago was it alright for cops to do all this to them when they were just practiceing there 1rst amendment protesting fror full rights FULL RIGHTS not the fake blinded rights we except tell me why is it right for all those cops to kill not 1 like Mumia supossly did but 100killed 1000 harmed and humilyated why is it right for 1000 of blacks to be harmed fro expressing the rights and nothing ever happend to those cops

[FkDaWoRlD187]

shelana2008 ur so right what about all those black people killed beeten this is what the dont want you to kno ur forgeting all the black people who died when the cops let dogs loose on there riots when the kkk when on there little hunts killing them when they sprayed them with hi amount pressure of water during there riots dont be blinded u think theye just won there right becuze marthen luther jr gave a speech and they aggred cuz thats what they try to tell u do they ever talk about

[shelana2008]

he killed a white cop...its called self-defence people....what about the white crooked cops that killed our black people.

come on now

[jasonbravo77]

Ummm...last time I checked, Daniel Faulkner hadn't killed anyone.

So by your logic, if a white person beat me up when I was younger, I should start beating up white peopel when I see them on the street in "self-defence [sic]".

You're a fucking idiot. The only thing people like you do is create more racism in the world.

Fuck you.

[StevenMarsh93]

There is convincing evidence that Mumia never did anything wrong at all... he was prosecuted because he was once a Black Panther... racism in the United States stems from the power structure... poor people of any color are oppressed by the system in America

[jasonbravo77]

If there was in fact "convincing evidence," Mumia wouldn't have had his appeal rejected by 3 different courts. There is, however, an overwhelming amount of lies and myths that you can find on the web. Instead of regurgitating bullshit, maybe you should read the court transcripts. Because it's apparent that you haven't yet.

[shelana2008]

i was talking about one person...fool...not every white person you stupid sock read my part again i said...that this brother was in jail for being a panthers and what did the panthers do...they attackd the crooked cops that was atacking them...and thats why his in jail...not because we shoult attack white people sucker...im a christian...i cant stand rasicm in any form shape or collor.

[gmlorusso]

shelana2008....You are one dumb motherfucker !.....

.

[shelana2008]

uhm im not racis im saying...but im saying he was a panther have you seen what they did to the black folks???check that befor you talk and no i have nothing against whites and we shoult not attack eachother but that does not change the way SOME white folks has treated us..period.

[jasonbravo77]

What does any of this have to do with Mumia murdering Faulkner? Are you saying it was justified?

Sorry, but that's just insane.

[hint0122]

were is the proof if was self defence?

[mattrmc19]

i don't understand why average black people, like mumia, complain about the poor quality of public education blacks get, yet vote for Democrats that want to eliminate vouchers for blacks. i just don't get this.

[ThatGirlGoldii]

FREE MUMIA

[Pseudonym4]

GOD DAMN RIGHT!!!

[ONErudebwoy]

He said more about Obama in this speech when I heared it on the radio does anyone have the whole speech

[paweleve]

i kinda look up to him and I never committed a crime in my life. I am just a hard working American who believes the other story.

[jasonbravo77]

You look up to a murderer. What a class act.

[Pseudonym4]

He shot a cop, moron! a cop who had just shot him in the stomach! He's a hero! What you say means nothing. Billions in the world suffer in the exploitative system that currently exists! Look back through history no empire is permanent! Humans arent meant to be governed, mastered or ruled......thats not our genetic imperative! Dialectics! The dynamism that exists within each of us individually and collectively means that we'll resist oppression and fight for freedom! Freedom or death Free Mumia!!

[jasonbravo77]

Get your facts straight. He shot Faulkner in the BACK, then Faulkner turned and shot him in the CHEST.

How fucking pathetic. You have to make shit up just to be able to rant and rave about "empires" and "oppression." How paranoid are you?

.Don't bother answering. I don't really care.

.

[Pseudonym4]

Goodness me, we do get around dont we :P

Paranoia has nothing to do with it mate! I was lucky enough to be born in a first world country! My family are from Africa and have watched every attempt to break free from western control smashed by interference from western governments who have an OBVIOUS interest in keeping them were they are! Only in 2006 the Somali peace process was disrupted by an American backed invasion! Did you back that??? see Shell in Nigeria and read or watch anything on Congo

[jasonbravo77]

Yes, "we" do. Bear in mind that I'm replying to comments that you've made.

So now I see. You were born in a first world country, but want your first world country to be more like a third world country, so you lash out under the freedoms and opportunities that your first world country provides. That makes perfect sense!

Are you not aware that if you were in a non-Western country, taking the "actions" you take, you would be shot, hung, beheaded, or all of the above? Guess not.

.

[paweleve]

well, hes well respected now.

[paweleve]

LOL, i don't know for sure, but it could go as so. "yoyo nigga ima pop dis crackerrr cop in da head yall mean".

the thing is, he was big and well respected by people, spoke a strong message and they wanted him gone.

hes been on death row for what 20 years, and still there is more evidence to keep him out instead of in. and you must remember it was the 80's "black panther" kills white cop. Pretty much every black man is a suspect.

[jasonbravo77]

Ummmmm...no. There was one suspect. Wesley Cook.

[paweleve]

yea cop killer, does he sound like a cop killer.

[paweleve]

thats ruff

[couragetolive]

Mumia Abu Jamal is a hermit. He stays in so you can go out. But you know, it might not be long before we're all like Mumia. We might all be prisoners in our own country. The corporate take-over of our government must be stopped. Please vote Nader/Gonzalez '08.

[subsamadhi]

right now America has the highest incarceration rate in the world. Pretty scary. It has already happened.

[nonamist]

way to completely miss the fact. it's not about his color, its about his goddamn message! I don't want obama (or mccain for that matter) in the whitehouse because he is an Isreali loyalist, he will not change anything, and he is a member of the CFR. Our country is in more trouble than just racism, we're on the brink of Fascism.

[iluvdpz]

RIP MLK Jr. Free Mumia! "My Panther my brother, we are at war until you're free!"

[jkar64]

Maybe his message is being lost on future generations because it's not nearly as prevailing today as it was in the 60's.

The issue of segregation is all but destroyed. King helped see to that.

Now we just see him as another great man.

But, this is nothing new.

Go back and look at some of the founding fathers. Prime example? Samuel Addams...

[marc85guitar]

Dr king is the greatest leader in american history. it is a shame that is message is kept in his grave.

[OmarAfricaReturns]

excellent, man. All of Mumia's speeches are excellent, and very good inspiration of photos to put up with it.

[CreateABetterWorld]

Thanks for keeping the real, radical Dr. King alive!
