Examining Mumia's Guilt in White's 'Caught in the Crossfire'

For over 28 years, some people did not believe in the controversy over Mumia's conviction and subsequent death penalty. Many Mumia supporters and those claiming the abolition of the death penalty believe that the corruption of the Philadelphia police station combined with deficiencies in the judicial system led to a conspiracy of national murder by the support of racist judges . Abu-Jamal Mumia, a prominent journalist and community activist from Philadelphia, has been sentenced to death in 1983, when Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner was shot dead in 1983.

If I were a gang of middle-class children involved in the fire of gang violence, the media would not report that I was "a middle-class black child caught up in crossfire". I simply call it "in the southern part of Chicago the black child in the city was killed at the boundary of gang violence." In other words, mainstream society does not distinguish whether the victim belongs to a particular economic class, including the belief that there is another race in society due to Caucasian supremacy and racial ideology. My race and caste as a black man, and the environment where I live determine my destiny and image.

Sophia and I literally reflect this history. I was born in the 1970s, politicized in the activist boom of the 1990s, and learned about Mumia as the death penalty approached him. I joined the Free Mumia Alliance led by former Black Panther, Safiya Bukhari in New York. I have been involved in his lawsuit for many years. I joined CBMH in 2014. Sophia was born in 1989 and studied about Mumia through university courses. She has been involved with CBMH since the beginning. Together we reflect the intergenerational nature of the movement to liberate Mumia, its many waves, relations with state violence, and its regeneration in the black live matter furnace. Our sex is not coincidence. As the female voice color and women have always controlled the M4BL, the free Mumia movement is led by women such as Pam Africa, Ramona Africa, late Safiya Bukhari, Johanna Fernandez.

Like white u sin principle, white sin is one of the best double-edged Caucasians. The difference between Caucasian motivationalism and Caucasian motivationalism is that it can be thought of as the opposite of its more positive and aggressive opponents (the two are not mutually exclusive, White guilt is often expressed in the most dominant way). Come out). Some people (liberalists and so-called socialists) tend to think that this idea is good, progressive, and in some cases even revolutionary. But from the history of the American class struggle and the current material situation, the situation is opposite, in fact this idea distorts the class struggle and inevitably becomes a contradiction to capitalism, imperialism, national oppression .
