Kwame Ture Interview (1988)

Discussion centers on SNCC, voting registration in Lowndes County, the Black Panthers, Malcolm X, Bayard Rustin, Martin Luther King Jr.'s views on the Vietnam War, the tactic of nonviolence, the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., the James Meredith March and many other subjects.

[@maxjulien8394]

This interviewer better be working at McDonald's now,, I admire brother Ture's patience

[@Taylordessalines]

It was for a documentary. You have to get the interviewee to repeat the question within the answer. I was annoyed too at first until I realized it.

[@barnabaswannabe4652]

The constant interruptions are so distracting. He doesnt get the opportunity to truly flow through a complete thought. This man was a living legend at the time. Its incredibly unfortunate that the interviewer didn't recognize that and take better care of such an awesome occasion.

[@jonesjessed]

I agree. It’s actually disrespectful and she’s obviously someone who doesn’t have the capacity to empathize with a legend and at the very least respect him.

I love how the interviewer struggles to control Ture’s oration mastery in nice little snippets for the documentary haha

[@capstonegroup2397]

I know - can we tell her to sit down and be quiet!!

[@paulgibby6932]

I wonder who she was? Certainly not Charlayn Hunter-Gault

[@nnamdixrevolutionary8883]

I dont like how they cut him off.

[@maxwolf4036]

They wanted him to change wordings? Editing his responses in real time

[@august_3rd]

This was for a film. She has to stop him for editing

[@blazayblazay8888]

Me neither, but you can tell he’s used to it. most if not all documentaries like this are done in this fashion. Check out an abc interview of chairman Fred same format of questioning and editing. Still feels irreverent though.

[@capstonegroup2397]

[@richardsheffield2823]

They chopped up his ideas and stopped a clear message. But at least they aren't hiding it. Think about that...

[@4363HASHMI]

Yep, but now it’s reinforced by even the Uncle Toms being so open about it

[@richardsheffield2823]

@4363Hasmi, please elaborate. I may not be keying in on your point. Asante sana

[@futuretimetraveller8677]

i met him as a college student after he gave a talk at my school in nyc the same year this interview was made; i was struck with his perspicacity (clarity of understanding) both during the lecture AND during the couple of minutes we spoke

[@clairvoyant5027]

Case Book 101 on Worse Interview Practices . Much to his credit, Kwame remained 'cool, calm & collected' & was a tolerant subject. May this grreat revolutionary strategest, rest in power.

[@SenegalStyleSinetaGeorge]

This is rare... A black man admitting how he was intentionally disrespectful to the other men to get them to pull out of the March. I never heard that story before and even as he told the story he was unapologetic. He recognized they were young and this was the tactic he felt was necessary to get those men out of the way. It worked... No apology was necessary but having it on record is definitely necessary.

[@karimalkhanshali891]

Very intellectual mind. This video will have millions in views. And all the videos he’s in and all of his interviews. Today’s date is 8/5/2024.

This was wonderful. The director yelling cut at certain parts made when he crossed her line made this even better.

[@ShinobiShaman]

​@@AfroMarxistYou're going to get to get Marxism eventually, don't worry. The powers that be have BIG plans for us. They're in the process of setting up a technocratic neo-feudal totalitarian world government. It'll be controlled by transnational corporations at the top, & the masses will live on a universal basic income at the bottom. Most of the economy will be run by AI & robotics. The people will be monitored at all times. Freedom will be a thing of the past. Travel will be very limited. People won't be allowed to own cars. Everybody will eat insects, because breeding mammals for food causes too much green house gas. &, you'll be implanted with a microchip to monitor your every move. That microchip will also be used in conjunction with a digital currency so they can monitor everything you buy. You'll also have a social credit score. If you do something the government doesn't like, you might not be able to leave the house or apartment you're living in for a month. & owning anything will be a thing of the past. We'll rent everything from the corporations. Including your home. That's what your Marxist dream is going to look like. Sound like fun?

[@miltwooten90]

I remember seeing the famous Black Power speech in Mississippi from a documentary when I was younger. I remember how powerful he was... I swear he looked 10 ft tall when I first saw that! Much respect to Kwame Ture Formerly known as Stokely Carmichael! A real Black Hero!!

[@felixthelmocevallosmorales41]

Kwame Ture, nació Stokely Carmichael (pronunciado stóukli karmáikl, Trinidad y Tobago, 29 de junio de 1941 - Guinea-Conakry, 15 de noviembre de 1998) fue un político y activista estadounidense.

Excellent, historic, affirming. Love and proud of Stokley( Mr. Ture) always forever. RIP Listen to this history.

[@BaldwinFanonGarveyTureShakurX]

Has anyone here come across video or audio of the Malcom/Bayard debate that brotha Ture referenced?

[@stephenwilson1622]

I'm not sure if this is the same one brother Ture's referencing (the title says 1960), but here is a link to audio of a debate between brother Malcolm and brother Bayard Rustin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j565m3ylpLF2m5o

[@BaldwinFanonGarveyTureShakurX]

​​@@stephenwilson1622Yeah the dates are throwing me off. Perhaps Ture was mistaken and just mixed up the dates. I found the 1960 radio debate, and the live debate from the same year, but nothing from a later year

[@mariaramos-ri8me]

Thank you again, I have watched this video before. He spoke with the truth. The film 🎥 takes did not bother him.😊 He àlways had a beautiful smile with so much intelligence in his eyes. Today's date is August 22, 2024. With deepest appreciation and respect for Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, W.E. Dubois, Eugene Debs, Paul Robeson, James Baldwin, Dr. Martin Luther KingJr, Malcolm X, and Rosa Parks, plus Nelson Mandella amongst others, who stood for truth. AMEN!!! Shirley Chisholm was the first black woman to have been elected to the United States Congress. She served the 12th District of Brooklyn for seven terms from 1968 until 1982. Quote: The United States is a beautiful fraud that has been opposed on the people for years, whose practitioners exchange gilded promises for the most valuable thing their victims own, their votes. Thank you , Dr. Gerald Horne for all his books on Afro-American history, and he is still contributing with more writings of honor.

[@mpjproducer]

Okay - no disrespect Baba - but I would've had the biggest crush on you!! It's all of the intellectual and historical knowledge and the unapologetic courage and fearlessness to be BLACK and FREE. You were one of the bravest revolutionaries evah.

Why are they (the interviewers) are directing him what to say? It is very rude and disrespectful. It would have been better if they had all their questions prepared before the interview instead of cutting that stupid movie cut prop in front of his face every minute. Stokely Carmichael should have had a copy of all the questions before the interview. 🧐🧐

Thanks for sharing. As Africans, we have similar experiences of colonization. Let's embrace our differences positively and help each other. Those brave men who fought for our freedom deserve respect. We should not reduce ourselves to just a color from a crayon box as our history is rich with culture.

[@OakleafOrganic]

@@shodges31 exactly. Everyone negro or negroid is not African. Black is not a race. It's a color. In and of itself, it's meaningless, yet many men of a certain color are exhorted, often by our women, to venerate so-called leaders whose platforms have enlisted them as pawns charged with misleading and sabotaging large groups of people under the guise of a "freedom struggle." To repeat the o.p. they "lead [us] into a building building It's an insidious intellectual switcheroo.
