        Stokely Carmichael immediately expelled every non-black member of the SNCC when he became president. The 10 Point Program demands rights and reparations for “black people” specifically and explicitly repeated in every single one of the points, it even mentions “black neighborhoods” and “black communities” in its goals. Huey P. Newton wanted all black servicemen in Vietnam to be in separate units. Bobby Seale expressed disappointment in the results of the Civil Rights Movement, although admittedly Seale was at least not a fan of Segregation of schools which I cannot say for the other members.

        I’m serious about this, I’m tired of people pretending the BPP were some sort of leftist group fighting for equality. That’s not what they are, or were. They saw that people were being oppressed, including people like themselves, and their solution was to isolate themselves and bunker down from the threat of the outside world.

        MLK Jr fought for Equality. I fight for equality. BPP fight for supremacy.

          Fair enough. It’s the same person from the first video explaining they are protecting all marginalized people

            For all I knew it was a Llama eating its own ass, “evidence contrary to opinions” doesn’t apply to an unmarked mystery box of light and sound.

            Go look at and learn from their reply.
