What You Don't Know About The Black Panthers | AJ+

[@MrSupersaiyangoku]

My grandmother was a Panther. Memphis Tennessee. Man. This video really hit home for me

[@deedeedan8681]

I knew about the black panthers health care initiatives but i didnt know about their connection with China, that's amazing...

[@Andrew-ug2cy]

The black panthers were communists. Specifically Marxist Leninist . so obviously they had connections with China

[@lechatnocternal4817]

@@Andrew-ug2cy Yeah Dr. Davis even said that she was more into the communist party than the BP party

[@The_Gallowglass]

[@Food4thought1234]

Thanks for the video. I have to admit I don't know a lot of the Black Panthers, but I know enough to know they aren't ANYTHING like the KKK. Trying to argue this with some whites is futile. Now I have even more facts for my arsenal.

[@cm-pr2ys]

Because as soon as one white Perdon may get hurt, even if they’re a racist, then to the white people you’re trying to talk to everything goes out the window. Heaven forbid any white person get hurt, but they sure can hurt other people.

[@Khannea]

You need to start this whole black panther movement again.

[@fa11234]

You spoke too soon.

[@rdf1238]

Not you sista..... we need to start the movement.

I agree, but too many are happy to stay on the plantation. The ones who have the charisma to actually move people are self-hating, unfortunately.

Just learned about this in my history class. Information that I didn't know prior to. Crazy that the poor representation of the Black Panthers was perpetuated by our corrupt government. I am thankful to know the truth.

[@Nanapoo]

wow, thank you so much for this video... Please make more! I would love to know about The Black Panthers... I have only seen a few documentaries and listened to podcasts, and they have never touched on the subject of The Black Panthers providing free health care. One can say, who owns history, owns everything. I can't believe I have never heard of this before.

[@ajplus]

Thank you so much for watching. We're glad you enjoyed it.

[@Jyagos1]

The book "Black against Empire" is pretty good while you should look up Bobby Seale on KZbin. The Kochs had him kicked out of universities because it's dangerous to learn what Seale knows. His work on anthropology as well as becoming an international inspiration that even helped free Vietnam vets in the war is pretty dangerous amirite?

[@callmeswivelhips]

What a great video! I knew the Black Panthers had an emormously positive impact on our country, but I did not know this many details! Thank you so much for making this video!

[@luvitluvitbaby]

White Ice Tv black supremacists who unified with whites and all races? Hmmm...if they were black supremacists the government would not have considered them much of threat because 12.5% of the population or less can’t overthrow the rest. The fact that they were racially open to all ethnicities who stood with them in solidarity is what made them truly dangerous in the eyes of government officials.

[@whateverman2674]

The Black Panther Party (BPP) is a black extremist organization founded in Oakland, California in 1966. It advocated the use of violence and guerilla tactics to overthrow the U.S. government.

[@michaelbishop3439]

Many people and governments throughout the world needs to heavily thank the Black Panther Party for put their wonderful ideas for free lunch, free health care. And I thank AL Jazeera for producing the truth and justice for the Party and for our people. *REMEMBER THE PANTHERS, BLACK POWER!* ✊✊✊✊

[@aboewaleed]

The whole world must know this!

[@michaelbishop3439]

aboewaleed yes.

[@sandramorey2529]

I remember being a teacher in San Francisco Child Care Centers. When the Watts riots happened I heard of the breakfast for children that the Oakland Panthers ran. Within a few months SF started feeding our kids (& us) breakfast. I've never forgotten the affects they had on our racist systems.

[@xaviergutierrez8786]

Healthcare, breakfast program, lunch program, tutoring, community outreach...

[@barrettkeller9855]

Excellent video! As a child of the 60's, a lot of this I remember. I did know that the Black Panther's focus was more on the community and providing services. But the depth you provide was enlightening. I will have to do some reading. Any suggestions?

[@oyoyoyo7624]

[@zerozero9511]

Wow I already knew that the Black Panthers were a great activist group but they transformed America. I also knew that all interesting things about America are of the people they’re society likes the least...All arts black people...all foods immigrants...the constitution native Americans...but now it seem that all things came from these people.

[@ayitian1]

The overt government group did destroy them! Why would anyone sane continue to struggle and be around people who don’t want to see you prosper in any way? Spiritual warfare is mind boggling!

[@8v71buses]

Tatrice Flowers Exactly and they were simply doing something positive and taking care of other black folks and the racist white man took it as a big threat and demonized the Black Panthers. They simply just love to conquer and divide and that Willie Lynch letter is a perfect example too

[@historicfirstchurch5898]

This was extremely well done and 100% accurate. God bless the creators of this program. We are studying the BP this week in my doctoral program at Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School. The BP can teach the Black Church a lot about how to more effectively serve their communities. We, at Historic First Church, will model some of our new ministries after the BP Survival Programs. Would love to hear from Bobby Seale as we need his voice in these times.

[@ewalker1057]

They were first to introduce that lead paint was poisoning. To weaken the influence of the Black Panthers in the Black community, the federal government adopted their social programs. This was to make Black people more beholding to government. Once the Black Panthers were weaken, the government began cutting these federal social programs.

[@sidahmedziane7235]

Massive thanks for the vidoe. My research is about the Black Power and the Black Panther Party, and this seems to me astonishing as it is hidden.

It will be much appreciated.

They need to start this again cause I have it and I was discriminated because of my sickle cell disease and the er doctor in uconn hospital didn't believe I was having sickle cell pain but his student doctor did and was looking at him like wtf and he didn't want me to be on the phone with my bf so he can tell me this so I pretend to and my bf heard everything then he discharged me without even trying to talk to me! I had to leave in horrible pain and couldn't sleep because of it for days now then they canceled my appointment for prescription then me my bf and my mom plus the sickle cell association had to fight to get it and now the hospital it trying to say sorry and shit but this stuff hasn't happened just 1 time! No this is the 4 time and they killed so many people close to me and all this makes me feel hopeless because I'm not like that and I wish I could stop taking these meds and be normal but I can't and this was a day ago! If you ask why don't I go somewhere else but I can't cause that's the only sickle cell hospital near me

[@thoughttourist721]

Just goes to show how private charities and a community that works together can succeed even without government intervention. Go black panthers! Boo single payer healthcare!

[@atibatolbert]

Thought Tourist single payer would give the people power to negotiate healthcare prices. If the people all have the same insurance then the health care systems would no choice but to have agreeable prices because most of their money would be coming from a government just like most subsized programmes

[@Jyagos1]

Private charities? The hell are you smoking? Privatization is what screws you over. The Black Panthers were about community organizing and funding. If you want to see what privatization does, look no further than Detroit and what Betsy Devos did to public education by privatizing it. Also, you "boo single healthcare" but the majority of Americans like Medicare for all instead of just seniors.

[@Jyagos1]

"Managed competition insurance" would still be controlled by private interests against public health. Most people are familiar with Medicare and government run healthcare works best for other countries so why not here? The UK has the NHS. Rwonda has government run health care. Australia tried the multisystem you just alluded to and are going back to government run healthcare. And the US has the same system for the military. It's called "Tri-care" and it's military government run healthcare.

[@johnsmith-zh1bt]

the breakfast program, sickle testing program and the community school was funded by the city of oakland not the panthers the panthers were assigned the program by oakland to buy peace on the street huey embezled part of the fund...which means that sexist homophobe stole money meant to fill childrens bellies huey bought coke with the stolen money the black community shouzld honor its leaders but it also should have the courage that some leaders are fake

Why did Sheba haven claim the black panther party’s approach to healthcare was ‘radical’????

[@tbhon]

It was free, participated in by the people, for the people.

[@shermanfirefly5410]

Short answer: Because the leader of the party was a marxist

[@aoht06]

Because it was free and the entire intelligence agencies goal at the time was to stop any program like this from thriving because “Socialism bad”
