Interesting video if you haven't already seen it. Dr. Newton (he held a phD which they never want you to know about) at around 14 minutes mentions how the Black Panther party was systematically destroyed and mentions the spying and the Counter Intelligence Program. Times really don't change. 28 years ago black America was talking about the prison industrial complex but it wasn't until the Clinton administration in the 90s that the effects became so astronomical. He put more black men away than any other presidency. Nobody seemed to care until now when it's a hot button issue, which still won't be resolved.

Your absolutely correct about the situation. I honestly feel the only out for us is a black family structure practicing group economics.

I think you're right, it starts with a black family structure first. I'm talking solid family structure. I really cannot stress that enough. We cannot allow for us families to keep on being broken. We must come together, support each other's achievements in all ways and that of course includes economically. For some reason people in this country just hate to see a strong black family.

Folks hated the Obama family before they stepped foot in the White House.

I love him. My dad met with him many times since he was a member of the New York chapter of the BPP. I always found the circumstances of his death suspicious.

when Huey speaks you can hear the frustration and disillusion in his voice from years of systematic injustice and cointelpro fukkery that effed with his and his peers lives.
the white hosts are like "hmm lets take a look at this kneeegro condition and investigate just what exactly is causing it and how can we fix it" :jbhmm:
Hueys like "nikka I've done a lifetime of work dissecting and attempting to remedy this shyt and basically YALL muhfukkaz is the main problem" :stopitslime::what::beli::childplease::aicmon::camby:

Super rockin mister magic professor doctor was casually droppin mad jewels in the midst of all the fukkery :dame:

no *mainstream* black political figures or scholars around today thats really on their level. michael eric dyson is cool but he dont hand out that scathing fact dropping work like these cats did.
khalid muhummad and malcolm x used to chop off heads when they were on talk shows guillotine style :banderas:

wish we still had people around today. I might take heat for this but as far as "talk" game tariq can really break down WS but he don't that attention on a large level. He already know what comes w/ it so that's why he shy away from it and won't take the title as a leader.

Still appreciate what he does :blessed:

After reading "Black against empire" and reading about Huey and his ego and how it killed the BP movement.
I have to say I have no respect for this man.
Then the gay as letters he was writing to the white pill popping sponsor.
nah, can't support this man.

He was no Malcolm X, not in the least. Hell he wasn't a real stand up guy like Fred Hampton

created one of the best movements but he's not a stand up guy :mjlol:


his downfall was getting on drugs but battling white supremacy head on at such a young age can wear down a lot of men :mjcry:


nikkas get punked by cacs at work but slander Huey on forums :russ:...Oakland mogs would smack the shyt outta you for speaking down on an OG

Tariq is cool he spits a lot of that real shyt, would love to see him pose questions to Hilary & Bernie Sanders & debate D'Ray n em minions

Reading his book "To die for the people" it's a must read brehs, it's Huey when he's older and he reflects on his past, on the errors he done and his views on political and social issues as he's older.
Gonna make sure to check this out

i hear you breh but i would be hesitant to judge this man(esp going off a book that was co authored by a cac), we dont know fully what he may have seen or gone thru to drive him into whatever downward spiral he went into..i try to give most of these dudes credit for the positive they did and i'll always suspect foul play by cacs if things go awry. I been reading "seize the time" and bobby seale def seems like a stand up brotha. salute all these real Afrikans :salute:
