Re: WE NEED A MOVEMENT OF MILLIONS by Mumia Abu-Jamal

Of Mumia’s piece "Why Women's History Month Means So Little" "Utopia Bold" claims, "It didn’t say why Women’s History *supposedly* "means so little".

But it did exactly that in pointing out that those in power who oppress women and blacks make such empty designations as "Women's History Month" and "Black History Month" in order to appear what they are not: anti-sexist and anti-racist.

"Utopia Bold" goes on to claim, "What does the murder of black panthers and sticking them in jail (men own and control the legal system-both police and jails) have to do with womens history-except that the entire news is either MENS history or MENS current hijinks."

"Utopia Bold" is sorely mistaken if she does not consider (or know) that women were victims of that oppression both directly and indirectly.

She goes on to claim, "Globally, men own and control the power institutions of finance, media, the military, education, medicine, organized religion, technology and economy."

And what men are those? Mumia Abu-Jamal? It is only a small handful of men, and a few women, that have power. Mumia is not one of them. Mumia is on death row. He is not your oppressor. Mumia is on your side if you want free the people from this racist sexist system.
