1966-1970: A History of the Black Panther Party 1/3

[scarletngold]

Black panthers were a group that fought for black folks should have equality. Not a damn thing wrong with that.

[Summerslam96]

I like how around this time the bay area was just complete madness. It's really interesting. In San Fran you've got the hippie movement and across the bridge in Oakland it's a whole other world with the Black Panther party. I think this time period solidified the two cities where people today still think of the misconception of San Fran being the free loving liberal and Oakland being the poor, ugly, tough renegade.

[tanvo93]

[babyshaker90210]

I wish people still thought like this, just because Obama is president is president doesn't mean exploitation isn't still going on. Fuck Capitalism, power to the people. Thanks uploader.

[allahdivinecipher]

[princechi212]

[ohio1960]

There proof "OAKLAND IS A SHIT HOLE"

[68generation]

Capitalism isn't destructive only to Blacks it's destructive...period! It is only meant to maintain the power to the rich and corporations, they take the full cake while the people are supposed to be content of having the crumbs!

[Ministry0fTruth]

Does anybody know.... how much money Black Panthers Party.... contributed ... to help victims of earthquake in Haiti ...? Or maybe they sent some other help.. rescuers , doctors... etc... . I can't find any info on the internet.....

[thirdshift47]

The original Party was disorganized by the Feds.

No chance on that.

[h0neybunn69]

do you know why you can't find that information? Because if they did assist, they did it from the goodness of their heart not from an opportunist mindset. Which is what the disgusting Western nations love doing to all the poor third world nations that neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed the capitalist dominance.

[ExcellentChild]

@Ministry0fTruth There are no Black Panther Party today...Just knock offs

[helikos1]

fight the power

[hotvision]

this video and audio seems misleading. makes them seem like terrorists. militant self defense? were they fucking blowing up govt buildings all day or what? black panther party was ultimately for the unity, strength, and reform of black people and society. they clearly had some misused rage at times. but rednickd sounds like a douche, i am trying to be rude, sorry.

[RedNickD]

First of all, that isn't my voice. I took the audio from the Marxist Internet Archive. Second, I don't think it makes them seem like terrorists. You're misinterpreting the vocabulary. And it is never appropriate to say someone sounds like a douche. Voices, like appearances, mean nothing.

[young1s4u4]

@hotvision

I agree with the author of this video, that they did use a military type of organization to achieve the results of change in a system that they felt could not be changed without being able to defend themselves and other blacks, without the ability to defend themselves. They did not believe in laying down to get ahead. I always wished that I had an opportunity to join them in the struggle!! They used their constitutional rights to bear arms and were not afraid to display them.

[SgtDevilDog33]

PLEASE brothers and sisters take an Afro Amer History class. You'll be happy you did. Much luv to all

[peasah2005]

The Black Panther Party were getting Africans and non-Africans to fight for their self-dependence and to fight against injustice.

The Black Panthers were strong, loving and they were for both self-dependent human rights and global human rights.

[peasah2005]

@peasah2005

The Black Panthers weren't so-called racist because African people were always racially attacked, discriminated and grossly pre-judged and the Black Panthers were the ones who elimated the disgusting racist explotating capitalistic and imperialistic system.

[emoisgay789]

@peasah2005 They were also against racism, see the white panter party.

[comraderoman]

Join Paris Hilton's new political party "The Big Party", we will solve the world's problems with "One Big Party" for world peace. Main rally at the UN general assembly Sept 21-23 in NYC

[wheaton87]

Truth is if you say the black panthers were in the wrong you are just racist,prejudice or stupid. Don't speak with fools they scourn the wisdom of your words.

[tokoolchicka]

this video is showing how Huey Newton and the Black Pather party worked to liberate all races being discriminated upon.He also is saying say what you need to say dont hold it in .white people have done all races other than themselves wrong so he wanted us to take a stand for what was right.You maybe to ignorant to understand it but hopefully someday you will get it ....Black Power...Obama 09.10.11.12

[marzcandybarz]

bLACK POWER!

[Ex101]

@marzcandybarz

POWER to the PEOPLE!

[WEHAVEPLANS]

the person who is speaking says the panthers practiced "MILITANT SELF DEFENSE" think about that, militant self defense? smh if you dont listen real good and break it down you could be brainwashed too. POWER TO THE PEOPLE.

[RedNickD]

I barely understand your point. What are you trying to say?

I'm not trying to be rude either.

[GAMOM2]

My guess is that if you are practicing self defense that's different from agressive militant action against an unprovoked opponent. Sought of like a rape victim "brutally defending herself". It just sounds weird.

[runemonk1]

Technically, it wasn't the whites who were here first, NORMANVJ, it was the native Americans, Christopher Columbus didn't even touch the mainland, nor one of the actual states on all three trips! And yes, I hate racism. I believe it doesn't matter what skin color you had, we all were and still are, human beings and should be treated as such. Don't be racist, just hate on the person who IS racist, or ignore them. Or if it's a large-scale issue, start a revolution(seriously).

[tweetychica694]

It sounds like the maker of this video is white. Thanks ok. but what is not ok is how there are all sorts of down play of the purpose of The Party. The purpose of The Party was the liberation of the BLACK race not "all minority people" or "oppressed people" like the maker says. get it straight! (thanks for the video though white man! :)

[RedNickD]

I just want to say that I didn't make the audio to this video. This came from the Marxist Internet Archive. So it's not my voice. Furthermore, he only sounds white. We don't know what he looks like. He could be Asian.

The Black Panther Ten Point Plan talks about freeing all oppressed people. It's on their website.

I'm not trying to be rude.

[tweetychica694]

Thanks for your comment! You are absolutely right about the Ten Point Plan. After further investigation I stand corrected. I also found out that's why they were targeted! However, as history had it at that time blks were the number one oppressed people of that time in the usa and i'm always a little suspicious of the oppressor or his ancestors telling our story. call it paranoia? but that's what happens to an oppressed people. Again thanks for the video and also your courtesy in this matter.

[sandinista138]

Cut it out...

[RedNickD]

Sandinista, I don't know what you mean? I'm not trying to be rude.

[StoneyLaTroy]

Huey P. Newton did work for the liberation of all oppressed people - he said that blacks in America were a key example of a system of colonialization the white elite have been perpetuating around the world and start there "liberation of oppressed people around the world" I believe is the quote from his most famous interview inside jail. Huey P founded the black panther on Marxist theory of intl revolution for God's sake! That's why they worked with white activists who were down for the cause

[EDOGZ818]

Most definitely +1 for Panthers. Not feeling New Panthers. Land issue for Blacks is touchy & will be suppressed violently , to prevent widespread sentiments.

[1718lafayette]

they should start the original black panther party again cuz since OBAMA iz our president, things gon get hectic

[OWN12S]

The new Black panthers are community organizers. No matter what race, for the same goals...

[bassclefRage]

yes poor black people had a much bigger hill to scale in terms of economic prosperty (and still do)i.e getting jobs and moving on up the property ladder to houses fit for living in, than poor white people but he forgets the ultimate battle here was and still is about justice verses injustice. the injustice of the rich mistreating poor. the injustice of injustice of the denial of basic human rights....well i suppose he did later change so thats my two-pence said

[bassclefRage]

yes we need our revolutionaries, we need people who don' bother with etiquite and beating about the bush o things and get straight to the heart of things

but Carmicheals comments there just strike me as racist..

[StillSexy007]

This party was founded before I was born. To the Founders I just want to say Thank U and I appreciate u.!!!
