Bobby Seale, Bill Ayers & Bernardine Dohrn on Police Repression, Fred Hampton Murder & Prison Strike

[@JoeSims1776]

Nice to see people still talking about the assassination of Fred Hampton. He knew too much and inspired too many

[@karlditz8631]

great man

[@lifestraight]

Salute 💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@colonelreb1014]

Nobody knows who he is anymore. Colin Kaepernick is the new Revolutionary

[@KHALIAGREEN]

He was so ahead of his time.

[@thelawnwranglersrunningclu8905]

Always respected Hampton. Charismatic as hell, a born leader. Dohrn and Ayers were in way over their heads

[@edwardthames9003]

Man, I am a middle aged black man who was being born during the times they speak of and was raised in Chicago. These stories just give me a better idea of what my parents who were old enough to feel and experience what their lives must have been like. I say that knowing exactly what I've experienced and am sad to think that I most likely won't live to see a time when things will be much different and with all the perfected distraction strategies in place today, I feel my grandchildren won't either; I am still living so I purposely skipped over my children. Hell, today as we live and breathe there are groups that want to make interests in real history even less than it is today. I find what I think evident in the fact that there has been weel over 9,00 views of this content and less than 50 comments before I began commenting. One thing Americans are experts at is burying our heads in the sand on the most important issues and raising hell over the most trivial.

[@audrajones]

I sure wish something had changed since you wrote that, friend. I hope you are well.

They Bought Their First House, And Rented Out Rooms To Blk, Irish, And My Father Raised German Shepherd Dogs, Sold Them, Built Social Housing , A Carpenter, And Became A Tailor When He Was 50...Never Missed A Days Work...While My Mother Was A Registered Nurse/Seamstress...Selling Clothing And Cosmetics In The Street Markets. Utilizing The Kitchen At Home To Do Hair Styling, Make Wigs, Sell Food, She Was An Entrepreneur, And Humanitarian 👐🏾That Didn't Stop My Father Being Attacked By Racists, Who Broke His Arm, It Was White PPL Who Came Forward As Witness In Court..Didn't Stop My Mothers Business Being Raided By Police, Who Dislocated Her Left Shoulder,😢 I Was 6 Yes Old When I Witnessed This,...I'm 61+ Now, Still Remember Like It Was Yesterday, But It Never Made Me Want Revenge, As I Have Mixed Grandchildren, And My Best Friend Was An Irish Woman, Who Saved My Life🤔Love Matters🙌🏾👐🏾🇬🇧🇯🇲☮️⚖️🌎✅👍🏾🌹💙🙋🏾‍♀️🤚🏾

I was yet a teenager, much to young to join the fight. Living through such a time was extremely painful. Coworkers from many jobs I've had labeled me as a hard man, some say confrontational. As folks, even today, attempt to lure me into their conversations, the first thing I say "I was born in the mid 1950s. U may not like or can handle what I'm fitt'n to put down. I am a product of hard times. My neighborhood friends & I were the "First" group of children to be placed on a bus, driven to the other side of town to desegregate schools. My major (if I may) was pugilism to the tenth power. First time ever in a fight just to go to school. My Old Heads along with My Oldest Brother, the brother who gave me my first lesson on how to walk and ride a bike was take'n from me, drafted to fight in Vietnam. I Failed history every year in school because I asked to many questions about My History and questioned theirs. My Mother and her brothers, My Uncles were slaves. Now, do U really want me in this conversation." If Black History was/is tough without sanctions, I truly believe this Hip Hop Generation would fix all this 😂. That's my "I have a dream"... it's all on us to teach children what the school system won't.. POWER TO THE PEOPLE FOREVER!!!!!! Had I been old enough to join, I wouldn't have seen 21 years old, and that would have been alright with me. I heard a great man once say," IF A MAN DOES NOT HAVE A CAUSE TO DIE FOR, THEN HE'S NOT FIT TO LIVE" MLK

[@DanielJohnson-fd3xr]

Continued: Lately I've been digging, come to find out Malcom X was destined to be who he was from the belly of his mother. One of Marcus Gavey's most invested soldiers, Mr & Mrs Little gave birth to Malcom Little. J Edgar Hoover's earned his decades of racial domination, give'n freely without challenge by this hateful establishment by successfully extraditing Marcus Garvey back to his native land, disturbed (I believe) best, earliest opportunity for our return back to our origin, leaving this country to build it's own instead of literally, on our backs. When Areatha Franklin (God rest her Soul) sang these folks national anthem in 1968 @ the democratic convention, the same year of my bus'n experience, (they tried to crucify her for jazz'n it up), i lost a little "respect", as I do any Black person who stands up for something so meaningless to our culture. But (watch out for the butts), in 1983, (I must admit) what Marvin Gay (God rest his Soul) did to that song was off the chain, once again, at the establishment's dismay. In closing: 2022 shortly after my birthday, I sincerely Prayed, "LORD!!! Shut this thing down. If I'm not worthy of eternity with YOU, then so be it. I've been TRULY BLESSED with Both Parents of age. You're HEALED me from cancer, DELIVERED me from years of addiction. HEALED me from cancer a 2nd time. You're BLESSED me with Children, Grandchildren & Great-grandchildren with a 4th Great grandson on the way. I fear what my seeds will endure". Well, my youngest Great grandson went back to THE FATHER after 4 months with us. THANK YOU GOD FOR SAVING MY BOY FROM WHATEVER YOU SAVED HIM FROM. I can Truly say, My youngest never told a lie. Never stole, never disrespect or hurt anyone, jailed or shot. Most of all, HE WILL NEVER EXPERIENCE THE INESCAPABLE REALITY OF RACISM.

Thank you for this important show.

[@TheFunkadelicFan]

This is hard to watch.

[@nikolademitri731]

TheFunkadelicFan It is. I wish the Black Party were still here today, and as organized. We desperately need these type of strong, community focused, leftist groups now, especially with the alt-right and fascist groups which are popping up, organizing, arming themselves, and getting built and learning to scrap.. I hope to god that we don’t have to get into this kind of violence in 2018, or in the next couple years, but we’re moving towards that type of situation. People waiting around for some big sign that fascism is serious enough in America need to wake up, that’s almost never how it works; this shit slowly builds bit by bit, and the state is never on the right side.. The left has got to get its shit together, we’ve got to get serious, and we’ve got to organize, bc this planet is quite literally being destroyed, and we have to get power to stop it, and we will be met with force, and we have got to be ready..

[@nikolademitri731]

TheFunkadelicFan Also, Funkadelic is a fucking great band, as is Parliament, of course.. my fav funk groups, by far.. ✌🏼

[@harmoni4499]

[@dianecrawford9204]

I remember the Black Panthers and Boody Seale and Bernadine Dohrn and Bill Ayers. WOW! I was five years old when I understood I was different. I was able to say I am of value.

[@kimisilv]

Bernadine is a remarkable woman! I am grateful for her support.

[@jasonanders7003]

Didn't she laud the murder of Sharron Tate?

[@blue---monday]

@@jasonanders7003 yes. she did that 53 years ago.

[@jenniferslatten6705]

Is this statement a joke?! She and Ayers are domestic terrorists, murderers, and bank robbers, they are no heroes! They got off on a technicality, were saddened because they didn’t do more terroristic acts, and then infected higher education by becoming part of the faculty. They are no better than every other sociopathic narcissist who have taken advantage of others and manipulated people into thinking they actually stand for anything other than their own selfish ego, greed, and power. Proof - if justice isn’t blind which means there is no justice which is justification for everything they did, where are they today with the FBI and “MAGA” Republicans being raided, parents being tagged with threat tag EDU for speaking out at school board meetings for covering up their daughter’s rape, and so on. They are silent because it has nothing to do with justice - it is about control! Malcolm X - white liberals are the greatest threat to blacks! There is nothing these people did that warrants anything more than the death penalty!

[@rodneyhill9909]

Courageous people is who God 🙏 uses. Fred was one too

[@tomitstube]

the struggle continues, the same power structure is in place, reagan to bush to trump, with corporate dems in between, obama was symbolic appeasement, a potemkin village of change, the same power structure with a black man in the white house, *we still need real change.*

[@shawannamurphy645]

When are they going to make a movie about the Black Panther party 🤔

[@jarvispierre6909]

They did one in the 90's, they probably should do another one. I think it should be a little longer then first one. So they can go more in depth about all of the chapter parties that where involve. You should check it out!

[@okay5045]

Aretha Franklin was always there for the civil Rights movement she was there for Dr King whenever he needed her and she was always involved

[@joed7274]

It’s funny how they frame themselves in this great light

Thankful for the brother Bobby

[@abaraka5338]

Love all of u thanks

[@guymika516]

As much as I like Bobby Seale, I have to say that Heather Ann Thompson's book on Attica, paints a very different picture of his involvement in Attica (and a much less flattering one at that).

Long live to resistance ✊♥️🇵🇸 Palestinians lives matter Black Lives Matter Latinos lives matter Slavs lives matter Indigenous people lives matter End colonialism! End occupation! End genocide!

[@Lol-mi4ht]

Slavs??? Why are they added lol

[@larissamoroz5149]

@@Lol-mi4ht do you know that WWll was about the genocide of Slavs,Gypsy and communist? Somehow the western “history “ is only concerning on the holokost purposefully excluding the genocide of the Slavs and Gypsies. Today’s nato war”games” is the result of the genocidal politics to eliminate native people: Palestinians, indigenous people of America, Africa, Eastern Europe and make them to forget their history, culture and identity.

[@rodneyhill9909]

We also need to speak on abortion which have murdered over 64 million babies since 1973. Over 19 million black babies

[@ianking9485]

This is the wickedness the black man faces in this vile and wicked authorities and wicked people.

[@lilytoh3580]

Fight for your rights, racism must be stopped as much as possible. We are all made equally by the same God, the same God who loves us all the same. Always so sad when we hear of any of you being oppressed or killed. So much injustice just because of looks and colour. Most unfair! May God protect you all

Weather man could have and should have did more on behalf of the Black panther party.

[@Unclejamsarmy]

How so? It seems like weather took the front line risks to an extreme degree to me, outlived the panthers and the BLA, and ended up almost entirely locked up. Edit: when I say outlived I don’t mean individually, I mean the subgroups of weather, continuously allied with panthers, kept doing major actions into the mid 1980s

[@rodneyhill9909]

I wish that the same people that takes up for black people would take up for innocent unborn babies

How do we accurately secret conduct a poll before the internet.

[@muthatrucker2680]

Counter intelligence (informant)

[@daviddumoor8450]

13:20 why is statement of responsibility given in racial terms, when some say its a class struggle? just ask those in puerta rico 🤷‍♂

[@caseywinters3021]

What sources do we have to verify these events? In light of how I’ve seen many media lies in similar situations recently im reluctant to believe at face value that certain “protests” are nonviolent. A relevant example is the breonna taylor case where all the original media reports were deliberately deceptive and coordinated.

[@JamesDoe-ie1sb]

Failed

[@edwardthames9003]

No one seems to get the real significance, and that is that literal murderers were not only prosecuted but were rewarded promoted and went on to become policy makers. Bobby talks about me, me , me and how many black he ushered into to political positions but can't say how they effected, or more accurately had no effect, on the change he says is still required. I mean can people see past the stories told by videos like these and make themselves understand the impact it had. Then can they go further than that and see the parallels in what is happening to this day. I appreciate those that attempt to shine a light on what transpired in the no so distant past, but without being able to make connections; how much good is it actually doing. It's as if all of these stories purposely stop short of presenting this information in ways that will spark new movements that ask the same questions they were asking back during those times. I'm sure that's what those brave souls are screaming to happen from so many graves. They are not saisfied with Obama and Jay Z.

[@kimobrien.]

People Like Jimmy "Human Rights" Carter who supported Pol Pot at the UN as a way to punish Vietnam and Ronald Reagan who supported the South African racists invasion of Angola.

[@JamesDoe-ie1sb]

He had a lot of brain washed young black men who gave there lives carelessly and unresponsible for a failed and cult themed politics....and then to crack jokes, smh, a pychopath.

[@kataboliztic]

Yes, you are the white voice who knows better than us and what we need. Buzz off.

Who cares he's dead and so is h rap Brown

[@deuberry9784]

Bobby Seals sounds extremely apologetic, with no remanence of the Black Panther Party. It’s interesting how he was safely in-prisoned while his comrades, the BPP were being gunned down.

[@katayfa]

Its Interesting that you would think someone was prison is safe. Being held against their will on trumped up charges. You seem to be implying it was all to avoid the struggles of of his people 🤔

[@h-minus5537]

No quarter

See Jesus Christ 🙏 is neither republican or democratic he is against all unrighteousness

[@christianw.r.1450]

Walter Cronkite's framing of the state organized racist murder of Fred Hampton, "In Chicago today, two Black Panthers were killed as police raided a panther stronghold." [the bed in Fred Hampton's apartment]

[@kimobrien.]

Reports of Police and Military officials are almost always reported as the unvarnished truth until shown otherwise.
