Last night on the Kelly File Baruch College History Professor Joanna Fernandez argued that unrepentant convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal, who murdered Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981 by shooting him five times in the face, should be celebrated in schools just like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. She also argued using words like "militant" and "convicted cop killer" to describe Mumia, is racist. Another nice nugget? A California teacher's union feels the same way.
If you don't want to listen to Fernandez yell through her re-litigation of the case (as she always does when given the opportunity), you'll find her comparison of MLK to Mumia at 5:04. Also be sure you get to the 6:00 minute mark to hear the Wall Street Journal's Jason Riley's entire response to the asinine comparison.
"Essentially by the end of his life, Martin Luther King like Mumia Abu Jamal, was a radical," she said.

Do you realize soon we will look back on this as the gold ole days...
He is a symbol of the noble N-word resistant to oppressive authority for mindless leftists. I think a better symbol would be Randy Weaver, who was entrapped while mostly minding his own business, myself.
G-d help us.
Professor Joanna Fernandez is the new face of racism.
As we strike His name and presence from our national identity, it’s hard to see Him interceding on our behalf.
I think it’s more like He would watch over our families, the faithful that is.
This nation is evidently done. Nobody, and I mean nobody, truly speaks up for it in public.
Where is the Ronald Reagan in today’s political climate?
There’s an amazing void that hasn’t been filled.
>Every city in America will have a street named after Obama soon enough<
No. Only dead end streets.

Does anyone expect any different?
Mumia is a cop killer, a racist and is comparable to MLK as Obama is to Reagan. In other words, worlds apart.
lol
good one
He killed a cop and was (is) a left wing activist.
A “community organizer” no doubt.
I am taking bets that Obama will pardon this guy on his way out the door. Anyone betting against me?
“Essentially by the end of his life, Martin Luther King like Mumia Abu Jamal, was a radical,”
This is what she is actually doing; comparing King to the cop-killer, not the other way around. It’s an admission that King wasn’t really who white people thought he was. Everywhere King spoke, riots followed. Did somebody not understand his message of peace and non-violence?
This is similar to the accusation that Conservatives don’t like Obama’s policies because he is black. You have to turn it around to see what they are really admitting; that Obama subscribes to his Afro-centric, fascist policies, BECAUSE he is black.
And I do mean “black” in the political sense of the word, as invented by the black radicals of the 60’s (e.g. Stokley, Eldridge, etc).
And King was a “Republican” in the same sense that Al Capone was a “Republican”. Not so much.
