Huey newton founded the black Panther Party for selfdefense, later known simply as the black Panther Party. The film black panther produced by the San Francisco newsreel features an interview with Party Founder huey noon when he was on murder charges in prison, cofounder bobby seal reciting the panthers 10point program. In america, black people are treated very much like the vietnamese people or any other colonized people. The police occupy our community as a group of troops occupies , not for our welfare, for our security, for our safety, but they are there to contain us, to brutalize and murderous because they have just likers to do so they have their orders to destroy the vietnamese people. The police in our community could not possibly be there to protect our property because we own no property. They could not be there to ensure we receive the due process of laws for the simple reason themselves they deny us the due process of law. And also to see that the status quo is kept intact. They are not aware yet but they know theres some shit going on in this country, but they think its the black people doing it. Causing those riots are life to be difficult and really have not focused in on the fact that itss fear, and their mentors, the people who control the fear, the power structure. They are not turned on to that power structure. They just know that life is. Ecoming increasingly miserable because when they find out who it is that is causing the trouble and who it is that is making life miserable and who it is that is responsible for all their sons being murdered in vietnam, when they tune into that, they are not going to be happy. This is what we are tuned into. We see whats going on. And its just terrible. More and more people are tuning in. I think they are going to do the dog right here in babylon. When we first started we had a police alert patrol. We would could alert the community we would alert the community if police would brutalize anyone. Usually the police would not brutalize anyone if we were on hand. If the police would arrest an individual we would follow them into jail and bail them out. We would gain many recruits like this. The community started to say, well, these people are really concerned about our welfare. I think the basic reaction to the experience as a panther i dont mean you see the guy go back in a black jacket in a beret i mean you see the panthers in action with their lives on the line. When we see that, thats the end of it. Is he the skater death and never commits no more crimes he is either scared to death and never commits no more crimes. He dont even jaywalk. Or else he comes around. You can dig it. You dont find a guy, black panther, remains the same after really seeing the panthers. They never have been too impressed by whats been happening. Theyre not impressed by that. They dont stand in fear of the cops. This is the reason, one reason why the Panther Party is focused on the cops, because the cops are out there and they are visible. This is the direct contact of the black people with the power structure, with the man, the pigs is going to come and bother them. The only thing that has been lacking was a message that we moved against successfully. Those organizations, those those nonviolent tactics and those appeals to god and allah and whoever, brothers didnt want to hear that. All of a sudden, here comes two niggers with guns talking to a cop just like a cop is talking to them. We really want to know what thats about. If they dont decide their life is too precious, that they must live forever, if they dont decide that, then they come to the party. We are not a selfdefense group in the limited fashion you think of selfdefense groups. I like the use the example of fidel castro starting the revolution with che guevera. They realized they wouldnt be able to topple the oppressive regime in cuba. What they were essentially was an educational body. They engaged with the army and fought with the army. They showed the people that the army was not bulletproof, that the police were not bulletproof. And that Baptista Bautista was not impossible to topple. The people started to feel their strength. The black Panther Party feels very much the same way. We think this educational process is necessary, and its the people that will cause the revolution, and its the people that will cause the change in the country. The black Panther Party is simply the vanguard of the revolution, and we plan to teach the people the strategy and the necessary tools to liberate themselves. No more brothers in jail things are going to get better no more brothers in jail things are gonna get better no more brothers in jail things are gonna get better off the pigs no more brothers in jail off the pigs no more brothers in jail off the pigs the pigs are going to get jailed off the pigs no more brothers in jail off the pigs the pigs are going to get jailed no more pigs in our community off the pigs no more pigs in our community off the pigs no more pigs in our community off the pigs no more pigs in our community off the pigs no more pigs in our community off the pigs no more pigs in our community off the pigs no more pigs in our community off the pigs no more pigs in our community off the pigs no more pigs in our community off the pigs no more pigs in our community off the pigs the focus of our activities is the need and demand that we be set free. We feel the only way he we that huey can be taken out of the hands of those who are relentlessly trying to kill him is for the people to become aware of what this is all about. This is why i like this idea of our film. People get to see more about that. Its about seeing things. The people have to stand up and demand they have to understand they have a right. They have a right to demand that these judicial procedures be carried out in the right manner. The revolution has come off the pigs time to pick up the guns off the pigs the revolution has come off the pigs time to pick up the guns off the pigs the revolution has come off the pigs time to pick up the guns off the pigs the revolution has come off the pigs time to pick up the guns off the pigs the revolution has come off the pigs time to pick up the guns off the pigs the black Panther Party made a coalition with primarily a white group to fight on two fronts. We must liberate the colony as well as stimulate revolution in the mother country. The revolution played a great part in saving america. If it were not for the white students, the black Panther Party would react to the racism in the country and therefore respond with racism. The white students have been very interested in the path of the Foreign Policy of the United States. They are demanding that the United States withdraw from vietnam, stop brutalizing the vietnamese people. We feel the white students should pay more attention to the colonized situation here of the blacks first because after all, this is home. This is not to say they should not denounce americas treacherous actions abroad. I think they can be done at the same time. Its just a matter of placing emphasis upon the criminal activities of america in the homeland. Lets get into the inner workings and the meanings of this. Lets get into the inner workings in the meaning of a black revolution and why black people have the right to take whats theirs. You can read the program. Its a basic program. It simply says exactly what black people have been crying for for 400 years. One, we want freedom. We want the power to determine the destiny of our own black communities. Two, we want full employment for our people. Three, we want decent housing to fit to shelter human beings. Four, we want an end to the robbery of the black community by the white racist businessman. Five, we want decent education to teach the brothers the human the true nature of this decadent system, education about our true history in the world and our role in society today. Six, we want all Black Brothers to be exempt from military service. 7 [applause] seven, we want an immediate end to Police Brutality and murder of black people. Eight, we want all Black Brothers and sisters held in federal, county, state, city jails, and prisons to be released because they have not had a fair trial. [applause] theyve been tried by all white juries who have no understanding of the average man in the black community. Number nine this is where brother huey is we want the court to make sure we have peers on the juries, people from the black community, as defined by their jive constitution of the socalled United States. Ten, summary, that is we want land, housing, clothing, education, justice, we want peace, black colonial subjects can participate in dealing with, analyzing, objecting politically upon the racial atrocities that have been committed against black people in this nation. So the concept is this, basically, the whole black nation has to be put together as a black army, and were going to walk on this nation, we are going to walk on this races racist power structure, and we are going to say to the whole damn government, stick em up, motherfucker this is a hold up weve come for whats ours this weekend on American History tv on cspan3, this evening at 7 00 eastern, from president lincolns cottage in washington, d.
