Formation Situation

I must say, these are some trying times. Make a stand too strong and an uproar can ensue even when your message is thorough. To all the Beyoncé protesters that will be in front of the NFL building today. Aren't you actually protesting freedom of speech at the same time? Think a bit would you. As long as she shook her gluttius maximus she cool.. As soon as she makes a message that counters the system her people live under, she's the enemy. Now she may be just doing it for publicity or she may genuinely feel this is way to use her platform to express herself and draw out some dialogue, however it is still her right as an entertainer to be artistic and protected by freedom of speech as we all should. (can't talk that pro black stuff at the job. Hmmm...) Being pro black doesn't mean you hate other groups. Stop feeling guilty and start helping out. The Panther party was not and have never been a hate group. They were and are a defense group protecting black people from the atrocities and unfair onslaught of violence from some of the most wicked individuals and group on the planet. There were and still are people who saw the Panther 10 point programs at work and decided to assist that were Caucasian people. It wasn't about insurrection or taking "down the man." It was about self empowerment and liberation after seeing some great leaders killed by a racist, aggressive system designed to keep the foot on disenfranchised people's necks. As we all know the Panthers were then infiltrated by cointelpro agents working for government authorities. The leaders and upcoming leaders and brilliant minds such as Huey P. Newton, Fred Hampton and others slain for voicing their opinions and exercising their American rights. Political prisoners Sundiata Acoli, Mumia Abu Jamal, Mutulu Shakur stripped away from their families. Afeni Shakur, Angela Davis and other strong women having to fight beasts of corruption in their own in dire situations. All to be dismantled by drugs, guns and sabotage in order to disrupt the black family and destroy a progressive black movement of empowerment. This is context that right wing almost fascist, suspected white supremists leave out in their diatribes about the Black Panther Party. It's unfair. Under the same conditions, the colonists and minute men and "founding fathers" of this country has to mount up their people and even were joined by indigenous tribes to gain liberation from England and the bondage of perpetual servitude. How is this not the same? Why are the above mentioned not deemed as heroes? You have people like Tomi Lahren, Bill O'Reilly and other nonsense talking heads that want to keep painting the narrative of the angry, aggressive black man and the whiteman's burden of what to do with them. Even going as far to mention peeling off a bandaid of history but not treating the gunshot of reality that lies underneath. Thanks for reading this through if you have and as always.... Live fully, love freely and be honorable. Peace.
