we need more videos like this. i liked it

[The Living Red]

That was fuckin brilliant. Thanks for that, comrade.

lol "J. Edgar Hoover (ahem&#33; fuckin&#39; murderer. Excuse me&#33;)" :D

I have heard other views on the BPP that they separated from all &#39;white&#39; left-wing/civil rights movements and did not join with them, as the video suggests. Is there any truth in that or just lies to attack the BPP?

[The Grey Blur]

Excellent video comrade, might do something like that myself one day

Untrue, I think some of the more nationalistic Panthers like Carmichael eventually formulated such a strategy but it was nothing to do with Huey or the general Panther struggle

[FriedFrog]

Good video that. Its a shame that most people wont watch it, or if they do they&#39;ll say its lies.

[Janus]

I admire what the Black Panthers did but what some of their members are doing now is kind of embarrasing in certain respects.

You mean the Bobby Seale cooking one?&#33; :blink:

[Body Count]

Awesome video, especially for one under 9 minutes.

I have two documentaries, one called "The Weather Underground" and the other one called "Rebels with a Cause", both of them are about student groups in the sixties, and I believe that both of them mention that the Black Panthers distanced themselves from the "white groups" at the time.

No&#33; I mean this kind of short videos with such good information( for others who are not well exposed to such things). ;)

I&#39;m not singling out Janus, but I doubt anyone on this board has earned the right to criticize Bobby Seale because he does a cooking show on PBS or because he has some cooking products, cook books etc. for sale. "Seize the Time" is a good read, I got it at a yard sale for .25, a real bargain.

Excellent movie&#33; Sent it to a few friends already.

[Pawn Power]

Two criticisms:

They did not mention Richard Aoki as one of the founding members, which i believe he was

and

Fuck Kennedy&#33;

[Pawn Power]

It was well made and I liked it too.

[RebelDog]

Great video, if a bit too kind to Kennedy.

[atlas]

relax...Kennedy was just the token white guy.


But that was a great movie. Really did enjoy it. Kind of funny how in the 5th grade all I heard about the Panthers was them being terrorists who would go to any length to kill a white person. Seriously.


But then again I think my 5th grade teacher was later fired for being anti-semetic. <_<
