I'm black and I gotta say our black community should show some pride dignity and respect. Halve of the community act to the stereotypes like gangsters we can stop that and be civilized as well if u want to accomplish your goals and inspire others and I'm only 13 I know the world out their is cruel and I'm prepared for what ever comes at me I wanna inspire people and succeed in my goals.

[azumanation]

@Th3Individual Yeah like i was saying no pride,dignity or guts agent......!

[adiosucks123]

@Th3Individual You're right, class struggle is also a racial struggle but class is the bottom line not race. Whites will not liberate blacks because the black community needs to do that for themselves but they cannot truly liberate themselves until we have (as an entire class) gotten rid of the class based system.

[blackjin21]

as a black person i think all balcks should watch this to educate themselves

that they dont need to be ghetto. that black is already who u r and should not be defined by how u talk or what u wear. - Am 19

[BoofheadsUp]

The enemy of the blacks is not the white man. It's the corporate power structure and the government who is the enemy. Obama is the enemy of the blacks as much as any white man. This racism needs to stop and we need to join forces to tear down all oppressive power structures.

[flanneryged]

@BoofheadsUp I am white and I am poor,I have friends who are black and I mean none of them any harm.The fact is it is us the poor who should band together and fight the Rich Corporate establishment these are the fuckers who are our real enemies.These people see us as idiotic exploitable morons who even turn out to vote for these bastards.Just look at the Bush administration!!!,tell

me was that bastard ever anything but a rich mans representative??.Yet he got elected TWICE!!.Go figure it how!.

[BoofheadsUp]

Exactly, there was no real change after the end of apartheid Africa. So now a few blacks are in the limousines. Poverty is the same, if not worse. One of the main factors toward the abolishment of slavery was that fact that industry needed a larger skilled workforce. So wage slavery became the more cost efficient form of slavery. The class war is the only battle worth fighting if we want to change the number -not demographic- of people being oppressed and exploited.

[flanneryged]

@BoofheadsUp South Africa is a real case in Hand,I think it's a tragedy that all Mandelas dedication now counts for nothing.Nelson Mandella dedicated his entire

life to the struggle to free the poor Blacks from the economic slavery of Apartheid.

These days newly rich middle class Blacks sit eating in posh Restaurants drinking Wine and not giving a toss about their poor neighbours in the Townships.This plays right into the extremeists Hands divide and rule again.

[azumanation]

@BoofheadsUp This is true 80% of white america is under mind control as well as the rest of the non white population is under this spell. the tyrants that is running this nation must do this to everyone that is not apart of the elitist by keeping us at each others throat as you could see in that documentary there were many whites young & old protesting the fascist govt: back at that time & we are going to need that type of coalition again in this day & time.....

[LadyKizzle1984]

@BIGBKELtheGOD Wish we still had a group to represent is like they did because I don't see any now. I maybe wrong. I think the crack epidemic is another reason that lead to the downfall of strong black organizations.  Gets me upset every time I think about it.

[vivascargill]

afro-centrism would have caused their brutal downfall earlier--yeah they were marxist so? There are no class divisions in the black community Mrs. King would not sit at the same table as Mrs Hamer did you know that? Are they talking about Bobby Hutton? The murderers of Patrice Lumumba called themselves afro-centic

[MinDisRighT]

Think the BPP's major flaw was not staying afro-centered and also allowing crackers to influence there program.

it seemed like to me they just copying marxist communism and not pan-africanism.

[BIGBKELtheGOD]

Yeah I sadly agree. The Panthers were not Afro Centered. I don't think that Huey P. Newton, and Bobby Seale meant for them to be as large as a Phenomena as they became and really still are when we view how they have influenced us. I look at the Panthers as both a learning experience an organization that I can look up to because they were hell bent on not taking any shit from this Country. They attacked Racist Capitalism with organized Socialism. No other Organization before them did this.

[vivascargill]

The Black Panthers walked the walk I would never question them  good videos!

[getyoasshome]

they wanted the party to grow they established a chapter in portland oregon in the 60s, my grandparents were organizers in the movement. no they werent perfect but if it wasnt for them we wouldnt have free lunch in schools today.

[Esay30059061]

I dont agree i think that they were extremely afro-centered. They targeted black communities with their medica, before and after school programs, and their newspapers. Most of the situations that they preached about could be aimed at our social structure as a country, but, they invested most of their time and energy in educating, those of African decent. Socialism was their choice of political beliefs but their social goal was, i think, something aside from that.

[getyoasshome]

the BPP was never about pan africanism that was garvey. the BPP didnt allow whites to influence them. first off the panthers were not a racist org. drop the labels "marxist" "communism" etc...those are american labels to make you anti american.

[adiosucks123]

@MinDisRighT Seems a little racist to me. Why can't blacks work with whites?

[MinDisRighT]

@adiosucks123

Well what could whites contribute to a black cause after the goals are accomplished?

let's assume the BPP succeeded and they got what they wanted, do you think they would just allow whites to change or ammend there 10-point program? I dont think so.

You dont see people of color running to join white nationalist movements.

you know why? cuz people of color would demand changes of their goals, that's what happened when the BPP allow white liberals to members.

[adiosucks123]

@MinDisRighT I'm almost positive that the BPP never allowed whites to join. Also, white nationalism is stupid, all racist and nationalist movements are because it divides the people. I am white but I have black friends and comrades and will idenitfy myself as fighting alongside any race for freedom. I don't believe in segregation or any of that no matter if it's done in the name of black or white nationalism. We are all humans and we should view each other as the equals that we are.

[MinDisRighT]

@adiosucks123

If you have blacks friends that's your business that has nothing to do with a cause, that's your social choice.

I believe in freedom as well, but everybody has a different cause for freedom.

When the dust settles and freedom is gotten, Races will want ther piece of the pie, things will have to be divided up.

Freedom is not a kumbya where were all in some utopia on planet earth, freedom is when you have the ability to have control of your own destiny.

[adiosucks123]

@MinDisRighT I agree with you on what you say about freedom but almost all race struggles are actually just class struggles. I don't agree that "races will want their piece of the pie". I think it comes down to classes and we should struggle together with our sisters and brothers of other races against the bourgeoisie which oppress us all and pit us against each other.
