Wow… This is the first time I actually smiled from the news since 2025
They will come for their leadership just like they did in the 60’s. I hope they are prepared.
RIP Chairman Hampton.
This is how civil war starts and how fascism will be defeated.
Stupid question moment: can white people join BPP?
There used to be something called the White Panthers. Thankfully, not a KKK branch; it was basically just the white faction of the Black Panthers.
We might need them even more: part of the reason most black communities have stayed silent is because even peacefully protesting (while black) is enough for racist America to see it as a riot and demand the National Guard.
They can join the Rainbow Coalition if it still exists.
Google the name Fred Hampton and you will learn a lot about what America is.
Judas and the Black Messiah is a cracking film.
You can see why they were fucking terrified of him.
50+ years old and Im still learning new horrors on the daily. Thnx
You are very welcome my fellow human. When you are done with Fred Hampton you can maybe look into Leonard Peltier or Mumia Abu Jamal.
RATM was very influential to me back in the 90’s
FREE PELTIER AND MUMIA!
I’m not American, but as an outsider this is what I feel the second amendment was really for ✊
The Declaration Of Independence has entered the chat.
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security
It literally specifies in our constitution that we have the second amendment to protect ourselves from our own tyrannical government. This type of thing is exactly what it’s for.
Now this is based
The Black Panther party for self defense. We’re the same panther party from back in the day. Just a little more aggressive
Hell yeah brother
When the Black Panthers started protecting citizens in California back in the 60s and 70s, the Republicans all of a sudden got really on-board with gun restrictions. Funny how that works.
Gun control for thee, not for me
that is genuinely how gun control works here. our government makes sure white terrorists have as many guns as they want, but that the people they are terrorizing don’t have the means to protect themselves
Where can I donate to this mans cause? I want buy that man more bullets and he should never have to buy drinks again.
he might not drink.
It’s a turn of phrase. They could buy them a cold sasparilla (spelling?) in that case!
Sarsaparilla in fact.
Why would you turn a phrase?
(Yes I’m being intentionally difficult, it’s funny)
maybe they’re writing from a smartphone and they need the phrase to be in portrait
This is exceptionally clever good on ya.
I second this.
Holy shit. Beautiful to see. Hopeful.
Black Americans are the only demographic that massively voted against the pedonald. They are responsible of almost everything americans takes pride in. In music, they invented blues, rock, jazz, techo, hip-hop and much more. In sports, they are the top athletes in many disciplines. In politics, you may not be a fan of Obama’s politics overall, but he was by far the least crazy president USA had over the past 40 years. All of this while being treated as sub-citizens.
For techno, who you must be referring to is “The Belleville Three”; but they actually got their inspiration from a German band called “Kraftwerk” that was making techno music.
I was indeed thinking of the Detroit school (this city is something else when it comes to music). I’m actually a huge Kraftwerk fan (Trans-Europe Express man, what an album) but although they’re definitely pioneers and inspiration of almost every electronic music genre, I wouldn’t qualify them as techno artists. They’re more a synth-pop / kraut/experimental band, with a lot a vocals and usually slower tempo than proper techno. Same goes with house music, I always thought it was a German thing, but it’s actually another Black American subgenre born in Chicago.
That said, if we really want to go back to the origin of electronic music and instruments, we would be in Germany (sound synthesis) and France (sampling) in the 50s and 60s with the work the elctroacoustic / musique concrete composers like Stockhausen and Pierre Henry (check out Messe pour le Temps Présent, absolut classic). I am totally passionate by all this and actually teach in music history and sound creation at a College in Montreal.
So on a comment about the things black Americans have given us your first thought is “Kraftwerk, some white guys, actually invented techno.” Which is factually untrue. Yes, Kraftwerk and other Kraut rock bands were an inspiration to all forms of electronic music but what they were doing was not at all techno.
Bro, the US was quite literally built on the backs of black people.
Country music too! Almost all bluegrass traces back to Mississippi John Hurt
Appalachian folk music, even. The sing-along traditions of Irish and Scottish settlers in the region melded with the Instrumentation of black music.
When runaway slaves would flee into the mountains, they brought their drums and banjos with them.
and we still sing those songs. and people who know what the fuck they’re about sing them with the perspective of “i still remember that you are my neighbor and friend. our time of separation will not be forever”
Appalachia has always been a coalition of rejects just trying to survive. the daughters of the confederacy have corrupted many communities into misunderstanding their local history. but my homeland cannot be free until every Black person is free, regardless of where they are or where they’re from.
True Rednecks, the kind that understand that the red bandana represents a coalition of Native Americans, Black people, and white working class folk, are the future of Appalachia. it’s just a lot of people aren’t knowing that yet.
Ohhh yeah, now this is the radical leftist I want to see.
You want to correct the ideology of the pig.
If you’re gonna arm yourself illegally get something bigger than theirs
I love all of this.
He said if you are going to legally arm yourself. I can get where you heard otherwise, though.
Honestly I don’t care how someone arms themselves. Legally or otherwise.
Fair but if you’re going to be open carrying firearms, it’s best that you acquire them legally or it’s one more thing to worry about
Visual identification of legality is tough to do. After that, everything is legal.
If you’re a felon and someone who knows that notices you in public with a rifle it would be bad news bears for you.
Honestly at this point what’s left to lose? The result is the same, just on a different timescale.
Edit: being a felon isn’t the only way to illegally arm yourself.
I mean, I won’t encourage people to break or not break the law. Yall do you. But Felon was the example I was speaking of. I’m sure there’s others.
Guess what law will be coming soon. You have three guess but most will get it in one.
Mandatory face tattoos and brandings to identify felons of color in public?
More racist gun control?
Hell doesn’t even have to be someone.
I would support the unions having a communally owned missile to deter CEO workarounds.
Yeah it was sped up apparently
It’s really not great advice, though. 5.56 is very accurate and for the average person would be a better choice than a semi auto shotgun.
Maybe the best gun to use, is the one you don’t need to shoot?
when dealing with ice a semi auto shotgun has a useful purpose: knock em back without killing. but i will point out the man with the shotgun was bracketed by a man holding a 7.62 and a man carrying a 5.56. there’s clearly more consideration and coordination going on here. you’re absolutely right about what’s best for the average person, who i presume is not yet a member of a community defense group, but once you’re in a community defense group, take a listen to what the whole group needs more of.
I know nothing about guns. I do know that ICE has body armor.
Yeah but it’s improperly worn most of the time. Most of them have basic ass gun range beginner shooting stances that expose their unprotected sides to who they’re facing (You’re supposed aim with your chest square with the target when wearing armor)
Even with billions of dollars on hand they’re still too cheap to get ++size armor and carriers for their extra big boys. So of them are wearing plates that are pushed out at a 45 degree angle by their freakishly large beer bellies LMFAO Enjoy those copper jackets that’ll lodge in your cerebellum after severing your carotid arteries you worthless Nazi fuck.
Gotta get that spalling directed to their faces
more reason to go 5.56 instead of shot or slugs
I see you have never CQB’ed before.

Can I join as a white man?
One of my friends in central California goes to a black panther church. He’s white. They don’t care. Said he never gets hassled at all… Said it’s different than it was five years ago before black lives matter. A ton of white people showed up insolidarity.
This particular church believes in the sacrament of marijuana. They give out a handful to everyone in church.
All colors are welcome.
I mean, weed is cool. But fuck the weed over the purpose. We’re there for a reason.
If that was around here, I might start attending again.
