How does something so powerful not even have 1000 views. Our world is backwards.

He was meant to be a hero, Handsome, brave and brilliant....A BLACK LEDGEND 👊🏽👊🏽....Dr Huey P. Newton had vision....

[@HenryJ164]

Why do you say meant to be.

[@russellclaytonjr4096]

Dr. Huey Newton is a hero who taught black people about their true history. He was educated and very intelligent. He is a legend... let's keep his spirit alive.😊

Huey was involved w drug use so that didn't help matters

[@lwarfield52]

​@@KittyCarlile-490Dr. Huey P. Newton was NOT always on drugs.

[@SonOfTheRighthand7]

​@@lwarfield52he was in the 70's and towards the end of his life in 1989.

[@jazminerose9446]

He had a brilliant mind. He did some great things, not alone though. Him as all great crusaders do were surrounded by other brilliant minded people. The free lunch and breakfast programs in schools, he started at least the principals of them. The WIC program for pregnant women, was a brain child of his and the organization that he was a part of. The BPP was a political force in the Oakland area that could not be ignored. THEY BROKE HIM AND HIS ORGANIZATION, the powers that be. I PRAY that he's at PEACE THIS DAY, something that eluded him in life🌹

[@seekeroftruth1484]

I admire Fredrika for keeping the BPP and Huey’s legacy alive after all she’s been through. 💐✊🏽💔😢 praying for peace and prosperity for Fredrika and her son. Rest in Peace Huey. Your legacy lives on! This is so heartbreaking and enraging at the same time. Praying for liberation, justice, reparations, peace and prosperity for Afro Americans! 🙏🏽🪬💚

"So what does that LGBT community do for BLACKS and Black Children"? They have lots of money!

[@seekeroftruth1484]

I agree they should not be part of the BPP movement or legacy in which the lgbt did nothing for.

[@donthasselthehoff5753]

There is no sense in marginalized communities attacking each other. Capitalism and white supremacy are the real enemies.

[@SonOfTheRighthand7]

They do absolutely nothing and they hijacked our movement and took it's place.

[@minouche5702]

I wouldn't b doing a interview on no pig platform

[@SonOfTheRighthand7]

What platform do you think Huey and the BPP was on mostly back in the day? Farrakhan and Malcolm was always on the same kinds of platforms too.

August 22nd needs to be a national holiday for OUR PEOPLE and anyone else that chooses to participate.. But at least for us. Our children should not be starting a new school year and we should not be clocking in at any job on that day..

[@seekeroftruth1484]

I disagree. Why make a holiday out of the day he was deleted. His birthday is more fitting to celebrate him and his legacy, like MLK.

[@hykuvava2269]

NEVER use "controversial" when speaking of Black revolutionaries vs White status quo. It is ALWAYS understood without a statement Original member of the Black Panther Party. Original chapter offshoot; Bay area from 1968-present. It was a DIASPORA mindset of love and freedom. That persists! ❤️🖤💚 Slavery was controversial...

[@_booth7992]

The controversy theyre referring to certainly isnt because of his status as a revolutionary

[@thuggoe]

dam he robbed the cradle for a light skin

[@seekeroftruth1484]

She was mature for her age and her family knew that unlike you. She started dating Huey after she came back from a college in Oregon so she was well aware if you listened to what she said in this video.
