Black people are sometimes the racists.

Very interesting lecture. A great resource.

I had the honor of meeting Bobby Seale a month back (June 2011) at a home in Los Angeles where he gave a talk. The Black Panthers were truly inspiring men & women. Like many, as a white kid, I only knew the pictures of black men with guns flashed on TV screens around the country. Later in life, after learning these men with their guns were simply defending their community from brutal sadistic cops, I came to respect & admire them as human beings.
