I watched the whole thing he said and was immediately ready to join the Philly Black Panthers. Don't worry about the fact that I'm a MidWest white lady.
You can join the white panthers. The white panthers back up the black panthers
Or maybe it's time for a new Rainbow Coalition to rise from the ashes.
I'm sure this time the FBI won't sabotage it. Surely.
It’s overdue
I'm in.
Is this true or is this the white power equivalent because some people got mad?
The White Panther Party is legitimate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Panther_Party
I can understand the concern at least, it's a white supremacist thing to co-opt things.
Idk about today, but the original panthers did have a solidarity org for white folks, called The White Panthers.
If you've ever heard the band, The MC5, they were in the White Panthers
The Rainbow Coalition also included an org called The Young Patriots, which was a communist group that organized white southerners and Appalachians who had migrated north to big cities
Why are people that used to belong to these orgs not being interviewed regularly? I feel like it would be useful to learn from them.
Because the companies that pay people to interview people are owned by fascists.
Sure, but I listen to a fair amount of non corporate media and you get such interviews very, very infrequently. These orgs were not that uncommon.
No he is forming a rainbow coalition just like Fred Hampton
