<p>Recorded back in November, the Minister of Defense for the Black Panther Party talks rednecks and shares his time-tested wisdom with the current social revolutionary movement, warns us of past and coming challenges to our solidarity and solutions to overcome the divide-and-conquer tactics that have separated us for far too long. </p><p><br /></p><p>https://www.blackpantherpartywa.com/</p><p>https://thepantherparty.com/www.instagram.com/bpp.wa</p><p>Special thanks to Nathan Evans Fox for his beautiful song.</p><p>www.instagram.com/nathan.evans.fox</p><p><br /></p><p>The Black Panthers Ten Point Program:</p><p>1. We Want Freedom. We Want Power to Determine the Destiny of Our Black Community.</p><p><br /></p><p>We believe that Black people will not be free until we are able to determine our destiny.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. We Want Full Employment for Our People.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>3. We Want An End to the Robbery By the Capitalists of Our Black Community.</p><p><br /></p><p>We believe that this racist government has robbed us, and now we are demanding the overdue debt of forty acres and two mules. Forty acres and two mules were promised 100 years ago as restitution for slave labor and mass murder of Black people. </p><p><br /></p><p>4. We Want Decent Housing Fit For The Shelter of Human Beings.</p><p><br /></p><p>5. We Want Education for Our People That Exposes The True Nature Of This Decadent American Society. We Want Education That Teaches Us Our True History And Our Role in the Present-Day Society.</p><p><br /></p><p>We believe in an educational system that will give to our people a knowledge of self. If a man does not have knowledge of himself and his position in society and the world then he has little chance to relate to anything else.</p><p><br /></p><p>6. We Want All Black Men To Be Exempt From Military Service.</p><p><br /></p><p>We believe that Black people should not be forced to fight in the military service to defend a racist government that does not protect us. </p><p><br /></p><p>7. We Want An Immediate End to Police Brutality and the Murder of Black People.</p><p><br /></p><p>We believe we can end police brutality in our Black community by organizing Black self-defense groups that are dedicated to defending our Black community from racist police oppression and brutality. The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States gives a right to bear arms. We therefore believe that all Black people should arm themselves for self-defense.</p><p><br /></p><p>8. We Want Freedom For All Black Men Held in Federal, State, County and City Prisons and Jails.</p><p><br /></p><p>We believe that all Black People should be released from the many jails and prisons because they have not received a fair and impartial trial.</p><p><br /></p><p>9. We Want All Black People When Brought to Trial To Be Tried In Court By A Jury Of Their Peer Group Or People From Their Black Communities, As Defined By the Constitution of the United States.</p><p><br /></p><p>We believe that the courts should follow the United States Constitution so that Black people will receive fair trials. The Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution gives a man a right to be tried by his peer group. A peer is a person from a similar economic, social, religious, geographical, environmental, historical, and racial background. To do this the court will be forced to select a jury from the Black community from which the Black defendant came. We have been, and we are being, tried by all-White juries that have no understanding of the “average reasoning man” of the Black community.</p><p><br /></p><p>10. We Want Land, Bread, Housing, Education, Clothing, Justice And Peace.</p><p><br /></p><p>When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect of the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>#BlackPanthers #history #YoungPatriots #FredHampton #redneck #countrymusic #politics #police #racism #ice #democrats #republican #foxnews #workingclass #chicago #aoc #berniesanders #trump</p>
