You can’t make this up, which is really sad and disappointing:

Cuyamaca College senior officials appear to have devised the idea of inviting Omali Yeshitela and facilitated his appearance at its “Diversity Dialogues” program at every step.

Born Joseph Waller in Florida, Yeshitela is the chairman of the African People’s Socialist Party and founder of the Florida-based Uhuru Movement, which promotes “African internationalism” and justifies terrorism against Western targets…

…At a news conference Friday – planned before Thursday night’s sniper attacks that killed five police officers at a Dallas march against recent killings of black men by police – Yeshitela said the Uhuru movement was not “crying for the police in Dallas” because “we don’t have any more tears.”
