Stealth History in Dear Mama Part Three

[@jamesnadell1998]

Listening to DBW here only reinforces my opinion that he is uniquely situated to provide analysis and critique re political economy and black liberation. Why does he seem young and his ideas fresh? Because the rhetoric and actions of black mainstream politics ares so threadbare, cliche, underdeveloped, and sclerotic in comparison. How is he not included in the discourse taking place on the white left and even in mainstream media and new media? He is compelling, well spoken, down to earth, and serious AF, while maintaining his humor and humanity. Besides his radical politics, his overall way of being and his forthrightness make others in high profile positions very uncomfortable. DBW dwarfs them analytically and in his presence. What is troubling is that he will leave this earth remaining obscure and an unknown wellknown. Huge ups to Dr Ball for platforming him, knowing that his longevity is unknown. WHEN DO THE DBW MEMOIRS come out? Hurry up, with all due respect.

Many THANKS to Dhoruba and Jared for this INVALUABLE contribution - providing substantiation for unwritten history.

[@josiegonsalves1756]

Again, hats off to BPM for deepening our political analysis. DBW remains a profound social theorist who belongs in our classrooms including the grassroots level. "Don't look for me in the whirlwind, I'll be gone," DBW😂🤣

17" 🙌🏽❤Dhoruba is so sharp, i can listen to him for hours. i love the man. I LOVE THE MAN.

[@Ron841000]

My conclusion after this discussion with DBW, is that our ultimate liberation, which involves struggle, is complicated and requires much sacrifice. That being said, I will, forever "Respect" the "Struggle" for our ultimate Freedom! Peace!

Man, I love our Elder

We are fortunate to have Brother Dhrouba....

"Stealth history is a rewriting of historical facts and events that in a way that positions people in the present to accept their position..." Amazing quote... i think its something we can all observe in our personal experiences as we age. One to ponder on.

[@michaeltee4275]

We can criticize Angela for many things but, imo, her revolutionary contributions and sacrifices - just like Mandela's - must be recognized. She paid dues.

[@SugaShan]

Already listened twice ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@michaeltee4275]

One, among many lessons in this dialogue is that it is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to separate personal and public politics

[@JAHtony1111]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Excellent. Salute.

[@kwekunyameyie238]

When it comes to Pac, his first 2 albums were very revolutionary. The problem was people didn’t really feel it outside of the singles. Just wanted to speak on that, there’s a lot that goes into him changing things up. Then being killed before he could come full circle.

[@aquarianage5243]

We need an interview with mutula Shakur

[@capoislamort100]

Brother Mutulu is very ill, I believe he has cancer.

[@michaeltee4275]

Make it plain, bro. The young revolutionaries need to hear ALL of this. As Mao said, "The revolution is not a tea party."

[@smilectics]

is this series a playlist? with the multiple episodes (and responses) i wanna make sure im watching them in order. top notch work here 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@iiNgONYaMa]

I don't think that DBW is wrong here. There is a lot of problems with the idea around heros. But the whole story of the past includes things that people not at their best during it. So it not always able to share the story without crushing somebody's admiration or belief

Point of information the "interviews with Joan Bird" appear in the book Look For me In The Whirlwinds book right?

[@JM-ex2lj]

What’s days n time is the documentary aired on FX/ TV? I don’t have HULU

[@aquarianage5243]

GENE ROBERTS

[@mhvichy]

Gotta go back and peep Tupac's politics and socialism vs play acting (Music/ThugLife)?????

[@michaeltee4275]

Please do. I agree with Dhoruba's assessment of him.

[@Imanifesto]

There is “ evidence to back it up”…

[@aquarianage5243]

Give credit when it's due

[@thechi2848]

Towards the end discussing Black Americans in Africa is a topic many should seriously consider. Pan Africanism is and was a joke, and Black Americans should think the next time they claim they moving to Africa consider this, why move to a continent where they will only see us as a competing tribe, and why move to a place where the majority of the so called leaders in Africa are bystanders in their own affairs?

[@lisamurphy5213]

This brother is hating on Tupac! Tupac was only trying to be what he was taught to be! And it's still not good enough! Suge Knight! Help Him when y'all Black Panthers Abandon Him and His Mom! Queen Mother Afeni! Was so hurt by the betrayal!!!! That's why she turned to drugs escape the pain! Of giving her life mind body and soul! To free her people! She was effective just like her son!

[@slagwill5599]

You sound stupid.

[@allsportswithld7267]

You are fantasizing the importance of Tupac in reference to anything revolutionary. It’s amazing you don’t know the history of political struggle of black revolutionaries in which Tupac did absolutely nothing revolutionary but rap about revolution but did everything in its opposite of revolutionary liberation of black people in America.

[@aquarianage5243]

This documentary is about Tupac and Afeni not about the black panthers.

[@michaeltee4275]

With Afeni, Tupac's mother, in the documentary , you can't leave the BBP out of it. And as much as he was doing the 'show biz' version of the BPP, so to speak, Tupac, as her son, can't be left out of it.

[@BlackLiberationMedia]

You have left so many comments and seem to have not listened at all to the discussion. Take more notes and leave specific references and time stamps which will likely reduce your immense confusion.

[@michaeltee4275]

@@BlackLiberationMedia I haven't listened??? Or YOU disagree with my comments? A Black Panther (1971 - 1973) Advocate of Intercommunalism, since Huey introduced it in 1970. Unabashed (male) feminist. What's your 'line?'

[@Gigi-xs5km]

I'm trying, but not getting past the misogynoir.

[@BlackLiberationMedia]

Keep trying because none exists here. Thanks for watching.

[@aquarianage5243]

Why would you disrespect Afeni like that

[@BlackLiberationMedia]

What precisely was disrespectful?

[@allsportswithld7267]

How many Afeni and Tupac fans in these comments know anything about COINTEL PRO in regards to BPP?

[@gravydale]

This was an wonderful follow that provided even more dimension to all the other episodes BPM has done Which i feel i need to rewatch as well! This is an amazing series that seems to have sprouted organically... pop yall collar on this one ...🤏🏾 👔
