My dear friend produced this show. I am the person being asked the first question with black glasses. My Muslim sisters are there with me. Huey was my neighbor. Thanks for sharing. Sharifah
Omg, what was he like?
Thank you for your contribution to the culture sis. I was born in 94 & just experienced my first riot this Sunday in Philly. So, now I’m going back listening to leaders I’ve never studied to be prepared for the next revolution ✊🏾
Ms Penny Isaac I’m from philly but live in San Diego now. My city is done!
Big up sis
POETICALLYJAY He was a very intelligent and caring yet fearless Brotha. We must go deeper and study our history and herstory. Ismael Reed very deep brother and Jawanza Kunjufu told us years ago... “Conspiracy to Kill Black Boys” read it.
Huey newton was not with anyone cutting him off 🤣🤣🤣 Very strong and fearless man
Exactly. Love dude he taught me a lot
Facts
Exactly, as he very well should not have let the white man feel like he could interrupt him!
H/P was hated by whitey Willy Lynch set into motion a plan of control the strong black through fear
Heuy was even so fearless that he was taking crack cocaine from oakland drug dealers untill they blew his brains out!
I’m so happy that Huey didn’t let the white man talking over him. Show your dominance. That white man felt obligated and felt he had the right to talk over Huey. I love my people and stay strong 💪🏾🖤👑
AGREE!!
Unfortunately, BM don't dominate anything -- not even the continent of Africa, where they make up the majority male group. In order to be a king, you have to have a kingdom (and resources).
I admire your comment here, Huey is strong, always, and I too appreciate how well he handled the white guy 'trying' to speak down to him, how disrespectful, and I am sure he would not want to be spoken to in that tone as well; you have to simply stand up to all kind of disrespectful folk, be to the point and 'kindly' move on. 👍👍
@@chocolateangel8743 You're a white supremacist.
@@KtotheG Stating facts doesn't make me a WS -- especially when I'm not even white. For the longest time, the BM has gotten to pretend like he is masculine and has been doing all the things he claims -- even though there's been no evidence of progression. Now, thanks in part to social media, everyone gets to see what the BM really thinks and how he behaves. They see a conquered group of men whose very existence is dependent on another male group.
This show is the perfect example of why freedom of speech is so important in our society.
Ahh yes even hate speech.
These shows couldn’t exist today. It would turn into a brawl!
@@julianG1212fo
I saw this on TV when I was home sick from school. I was 15. Now I'm 47 and the fight continues..
YES ! THEY JUST WONT STOP !!
The powers to be dont want it to stop
@Mizzy Wade her age? Yeah it does do you know how to count?
The fight must continue indefinitely, there’s no money in the fight coming to an end.
Doesn't it passes you off when you're absent from school and happen to see all the daytime programming you missed attending class because she schools the education system is so lacking that you learn more from TV programming
It's 2020 and they are discussing the same exact things that are happening today. smh
Ain’t it sick and disgusting the irony of it all.
We didn’t listen then and a lot are still not listening now. BUILD YOUR NATION. Once we EXODUS from this system and have our own we will be unstoppable. ✊🏾
Haven't moved an inch
exactly, let that sink in how STILL we have been and a true testament that marches and protests are NOT viable solutions.
My God ! It's a Continual Cycle!! Nothing has Changed! What was discussed then is being discussed now. An eye for eye I say.
Jawanza Kunjufu fills me with so much pride. It's a shame not much has changed since then, and in some cases have gotten worse.
Yeah he’s a great man
A lot has changed and a lot hasn’t
Our expectations for change have always been unrealistic, in regards to race. Shit gets fucked up, when we defy the natural order of things, by trying to make folks of Subsaharan ancestry into scientists instead of dancing and singing. That's about as futile as trying to turn White folks into rappers
Just hearing of him for the first time in 2024. It’s all by design.
The black people on this show were Talking so HEAVY. I loved every minute of it✊🏿
Heuy P Newton rest In black power.
💪💪💪💪💯💯💯💯
If Huey newton were reincarnated today you wouldn’t like him.
@@julianG1212wym by that
I love how blatant their responses were, not clouded with emotion but just dropping hard facts
Real Men ! 🔥🔥
@@bassmanx357 Exactly!
We live in an Age of Post-Truth. A philosopher coined the term. And it means people’s feelings are more important than truth. The result Willis emotion appeals and a lack of an actual argument/position.
I miss the 80s period. That's how it was.
yes social media doesnt cloud their judgement.
Huey should be recognized especially since the FBI systematically destroyed his work to the point where some people even today still think the Panthers were terrorists when in actuality Huey had some of the biggest balls in history not to mention he was highly intelligent. It's annoying when these interviewers always try to talk over him same thing happened with William F Buckley
To be fair they did do some pretty terroristic acts, that's not complete FBI conspiracy. I don't think it's black or white - it's pretty grey as to whether they were freedom fighters or terrorists. I think it comes down to the individuals - some were in it for the right reasons, and some were in it for the wrong reasons.
What did Buckley do I just know him from the debate with Baldwin
@bidoofismyking8962 well as an example, he was condescending to Huey during his appearance on Firing Line (Buckley's TV show) even though Huey was being very affable and respectful. He got into this thing where he was trying to tell Huey what the meaning of the word "revolution" is, and Huey's definition was the actual definition to the T, whereas Buckley was just pulling stuff out his ass to make it seem like Huey didn't know what he was talking about.
Truth Indeed
"I thank you, when you said we scared people, that means we were creating a positive black image for ourselves."
Yes, that’s why THEY continue to show negative images of BP in media. How did the world convince everyone BP are bad when they had the slave trade, Jim Crow, Red lining, etc? Programming.
Good point. Never looked at it that way.
RIP Dr. Huey P. Newton you were a real one.
I like the image he portrayed here in this video
Word!
Facts 🎯🎯.
He shot and killed a Black woman.Because she called him baby.
your probably white cuz no black person would say shit like that about huey or belvie some none sense like that. that's the devil's work were gods.
Huey immediately starts going for the neck, what a man...
Yeah man it didn't seem like he held back. I wish he were still alive.
On everything hahahaha right from the jump
Hueyyyyy 💯💯💨💨💪🏾💪🏾
@@jonblaze4244 he was assassinated in 1989 for exposing the entire media for their lack of compassion towards black people he was one of the last surviving black Panthers he and Afeni Shakur (Tupac's Mother) he was one of the few that survived the longest the rest of them we're already dead by the mid 70s but still gone too soon
Damn Right
Can I just say that these 3 kings is what our world is missing. Different perspectives but right within their own right. I absolutely love hearing Huey p Newton speak! Never a dull moment! R.I.H.
Dr. Reed is a professor he's still fighting the good fight but yea I know what you mean
@@tevinhypolite4355 lol I should have been specific. I meant RIP to Huey P Newton. One of my favs. Keep fighting Dr.Reed
A king is someone who sits on a throne and ruled over a nation of people, what delusion
no it's not good to treat other races to hardship in order to try to create a 'superior race'. Other people have thought along similar lines
@romans003 if you're not of African descent you wouldn't understand the use of the word
Kunjewfu speaks facts "Images control self-esteem". As a young black comic reader, not seeing myself amongst the normal all white cast of characters led me to believe I was a background character in my own story. This is why diversity in media is so important. Next time some innanet white boy screams "woke" whenever a black or brown person enters into a narrative remember "Images control Self-Esteem"
When were you reading comics? By time The 90s rolled around, there were quite a few brown skinned characters
these questions are rigged, but these men are more intelligent than the host.
Yes yes YES!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Facts
Absolutely. This has always been part of controlling the narrative.
Makes you wonder why we’re still on the hamster wheel..??
This channel is like a good version of BET
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Don't compare this great channel to BET....
@@algblessed1975 I think he meant this channel should have been what BET should have been for black people, but we know that would never be because media & television is a tool for this white supremacist system.
Best channel on KZhead!!
My greatest hope is that black people will look at this and see how we have been having the same grievances forever!! No matter if it's the 1800's, 1900's or 2000's same arguments. Being a good negro, getting educated, praying, marching & protesting, having children and hoping the next generation will change things and voting = THE MORE THINGS CHANGE THE MORE THINGS STAY THE SAME. All of this to say, this is the time to put fear aside and no more compromising. No more validation from the system of oppression and you must take what you want because we have been begging and pleading with our oppressors. These people are war mongers and they don't care about your pain and suffering. Your tears are delicious to them. Look at the Haitian Revolution they used not only physical fighting but spiritual as well. Word of advice whenever your oppressor gives you a religion/spirituality and tells you something is dark and evil then that's what you need to study and get into because the oppressor doesn't have the genetics or the power to use what he calls evil!👸🏿🤴🏿✊🏿
This interview happened the year I was born 34 years ago. And it’s insane how most of what they saying is absolutely true too this day.
Right 👍
I happened across this video on June 11, 2023. It's ironic for me because if memory serves, I graduated highschool on Thursday june 11, 1987. I didn't catch this video back then though. Interesting topic.
What's sad is you can't talk about this now without getting cancelled.
And probably will always be, unless we change it
@@billybarnett2846But,That should be the last thing on your mind when speaking truth.
This is the type of programming that is needed today. People are not being honest today.
Respect to the brother in the audience who reccomend a national holiday honoring Brother Newton.
Loved that part. He gave Huey his flowers while he was still alive
I don't agree. Newton raped some of the panther women. He lost me when I learned that
Use that day to remind everyone of the dangers of leaving university with a bullshit degree, then becoming a crack head afterwards
@@MechaJutaro Don't get your point
@@bigh9884 Huey Newton, talented as he was, left university with a bullshit degree, became a crack head, and ended up murdered by another dope fiend. Mistaking him for a hero is nothing less than moronic

Maaaaaaan Dr. Jawanza was spitting facts. All still relevant today SMH
🚫🧢
Facts!!!!!
Indeed
Facts
Yea he had me all in 😂😂😂 definitely a Pilar
"We don't have to separate ourselves, when we're already separated."-Dr. Huey Newton
Why would a man care if another man separated from him?
We weren't separated though. We were segregated. Big difference. We are a colony under the control of someone else.
@@E-Jizza Who’s at fault for that?
@God-Love-Freedom fault is the colonizer/slave master. We didn't put ourselves in that position or condition. The responsibility is ours, however to get ourselves out. Had these leaders and Black folks listened to Booker T, Marcus Garvey, Elijah Muhammad they wouldn't be in the same relative position.
@@E-Jizza Who’s fault is it that WM colonized the whole of Black people?
“That of which you do most is what you do best” amazing people on this stage
Analytics (Jawanza). Bluntness (Huey). Scholastics (Ishmael).
Every one of the men on the stage are Doctors having PHD's yet they are not addressed as Dr. Instead they are called Mr. Is that not disrespect? So understand that this show has an inherent bias.
Agreed! I personally have colleagues that are lettered in this regard as well and are NOT addressed correctly either.
Most PHDs are not addressed as doctor. That title is most colloquially used for medical doctors or professors. At least one of these men was a professor and I believe he should have been addressed as such. They have every right to request that they be called by their title though.
@@xthexadvantagex1219 Everyone with a PhD in anything is a Doctor thats literally how you officially obtain the title. Nice try.
To address image they need to focus on the structure of the African black American history education the delivery of content to the children teaches slavery civil rights in elementary school levels are hard for self development when they should be focus on now to date heroes like new black achievements in sciences or any kind of education doctors and so on...a child trying to make understand how person of color had to live with Jim crow laws or why there was African slaves that look like themselves where...I believe we need to change when and how American history is given to children white kids hear how white people are came to American with a different eye opening experience and that delivery is what I am talking about too
Titles mean nothing. We give too much power to titles. These brothers were just powerful men.
Back then professors and PhDs were talking about the black struggle. Nowadays, it is entertainers and rapper that are talking. The downfall is real.
You speak facts!!
WHERE IS JA!
Black intellectuals and professors still talk about this but the media is white owned
Absolutely
Many smart people were assassinated and others would just repeating what they said. The revolution wont be televised
I'm happy to say I read every Jawanza Kunjufu books...love him.
Hi do you mind sharing the books
HPNewton was the man. Unapologetic, fearless, fed up and straight to the point. The other gusts were nice with it too, nice show btw more than I can say about todays television shows in America.
Jawanza was clean with the knowledge
Many could LEARN from him.
He executes! And I like that!
Wow...this was one of Huey P. Newton's last interviews before he passed away. All those facts are as relevant today as they were then. "Whoever controls the images controls the mind."
Margaret McCall what are you babbling about? ....& he didn’t pass away, he was murdered in a drug deal by a black dude. Stop believing all this bullshit. Most of these so called black leaders are dope fiends, cons, pimps ect
Folks Bell that fiend is smarter than anybody you know have some respect for my people
he was assasinated and the psyops Psychological Warfare is even heavier now
Folks Bell Joseph was an abuser,Samson was a womanizer,Noah was a drunk,Jacobs was a cheater,David was a murder,Gideon was afraid,Peter denied Christ three times and God used them all.
Folks Bell you must get paid for all the hate that you give. I see you in every comment criticizing and bashing men that you clearly don’t like or approve of. How much energy would you save if you just clicked to another video? Or even logged off. Have you talked to anyone about your anger? Do you know that God loves you?
2pac was a conscious baby panther as well. He was dope on "Changes" when he said, "it's time to fight back that's what Huey said, 2 shots in the dark now Huey's dead". Rest up Brother Dr. Huey P. Newton🙏 Rest up Makaveli da Don 👑
Cringe!!!
As a black man, I think we should celebrate our people, especially our brothers who fought for change fought for the culture, and those who fought for justice and equal rights..... those brothers are heroes.
I'm sad to know that Huey was alive when I was alive, but no one told me about him as a kid. Teaching my kids now
Facts
Facts I was saying he was Assassinated in 1989. I was 8.
I still don't know who he is
@@rhondak7547I didn’t know either. This is why oral history is so important. The elders are opening their mouths to teach us this or show us who we truly are.I’ll definitely be educating my children on all of this history.
I was 6. Can’t believe I didn’t feel the atmosphere of the movement or his passing. My house was not woke it seems.
😔😢😂Here we are 32 years after this show aired....it’s June 2020 and we are addressing the same topic and issues...only the names and faces of the blacks and whites have changed. 😔😢😭
Today is June 5th 2023 and we're still discussing the same topics and issues. 🤣 lol
@@nataliableu6390 it’s never going to stop
@@nataliableu6390 😭Facts! Things have yo change.😩😭🙏
They don't want the change. Who would give up superiority and privilege to who is considered minorities. They have these conversations to plot against us not to fight with us. Most of these people who are attentive towards black concerns are racist, white supremacists or are the right hand trying to oversee the left hand.
Huey was with the shits. Love that man as I do Dr. Jawanza. We saw that wink at 29:01 ✊🏿
Huey not going for none of that ish- dnt cut him off!! I love that. This guy trying to over talk him. He just hearing to respond instead of listening, perceiving, and then responding. All these men were great. 🙏🏾🥂. An intelligent mind and great communication is sexy to me!
Oh Yes! TRUTH INDEED AMEN 🙏
She cut him off so bad. White power controlling the mic and our voices.
They fear us because they know how powerful we are.
I want to see that power SAP .
I explained and taught my children that a resume is nothing else but modern day slave papers it shows how well you performed on your previous masters work plantation be you engineer, scientist, MD, Lawyer, babysitter, whatever. But a Freeman papers are patents, copyrights, trademarks, exclusive product and service license agreements, termsheets, royalty agreements, business and company incorporations, cash flow statements, profit and loss statements, commercial property ownership papers and a library card. Either you control you and your family destiny or your letting someone else control it for you.
SALI FORES I wish I could LOVE this!!! This is so true and deep!!!
You are so on point with this!
SALI FORES 🤣😂 smfh unbelievable. This is exactly the reason why your children will fail. So when black business asked potential hires for resumes are those slave papers also? Teaching children to be a paranoid victim, lol where do you think that’ll get them? The ridiculousness is out of this world.
Ironically you watched the interview of 3 black, EDUCATED brothers, Doctors at that. When a black man gets money without edification you get Kanye West. I may be wrong but we can not vilify education because if we do, we turn our back on majority of REAL, black hero’s. when you accept THEIR money as law, you are playing their game, capitalism. This system was not built for us to succeed either way
I'm not a business oriented / free market type but I generally agree with you. Working at any job doesn't A) make one money B) allow you freedom of choice and decision making Better to own patents, copyrights and trademarks than simply own upscale clothes, cars and devices.
Why don't we have this kind of decent, educative discussions on mainstream medias anymore?
Truth
POWER TO THE PEOPLE, outstanding, a true leader, Huey P. Newton
Power To The People 🤎✊🏾
Dr. Kunjufu is a brilliant dude....
Yup I like his book
Kind of sad to watch this knowing this was air a year before Huey P. Newton death.
Actually His Murder Probably by Oakland California Police Dept.
Ikr, wish I could have met him
I know. I loved him.
Kind of sad that the tribute to Martin Luther King was hijacked. (Til maybe the last minutes.)
sonofyah2726 a black drug dealer murdered him. Sadly like many during that time Huey fell to smoking crack & violence
Huey P. Newton's birthday should be a national holiday!! Hell, Dr. Kunjufu's birthday too! We should be celebrating all our black men who stood up to change the state of our people.
I'm saddened as a Bay Area native that Huey P. Newton was killed just 1 year after the filming of this program. He would be 81. He would be that living history to connect to all of America, especially my native homeland of the East Bay Area, to the amazing achievements that he, Bobby Seal and many other members of The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense did so many positive things. Why was it that J. Edgar Hoover and much of the might of the US government came down so hard on these met, yet never took these same measures against leaders of the street gangs that emerged in the wake of a campaign to wipe out leaders of positive and empowering movements? Hmmmm. 🤔 How is it acceptable that the FBI would purposely sabotage these movements in attempt to discredit and cause great dissension amongst the ranks of groups like the Black Panther Party? I strongly feel street gangs (Stubby ENT vs Case, Acorn vs Ghosttown) wouldn't exist in the capacity they currently do in Oakland had the Black Panther Party not been targeted by individuals such as J. Edgar Hoover? Fred Hampton was assassinated. The FBI's counterintelligence program directly contributed to the death of John Huggins. How does the FBI acknowledge these heinous acts of blatant sabotage? By naming its headquarters the J. Edgar Hoover building...
🎯
How it was allowed to happen is the complicity of undercover snd covert racist dominant society not getting involved and preventing this. The few degenerates chanting “Black Lives Matter” isn’t the correct way of going about it and then go back to being the low key racists that many or most of them seem to be and prove to be.
@@Titanicboah1869I heard one of the mickey mouse kids say in an interview when she was grown, as a kid she didn't know at the time that Gayedgar Hoover would just pop up backstage unannounced and all the mickey mouse kids would be excited to see him, they didn't really know who he was but other than someone important, he'd rub and feel the kids succinctly, she being a kid didn't understand that Gayedgar Hoover was a down low perv, she said he'd always pop up unannounced looking for the kids to pile up on his lap so he could sheepishly fondle the. Smdh.
Yes,Truth Indeed Ugh
Newton and Kunfuju are outstanding! I love watching this interview. Huey Newton’s Birthday is Feb 17!
Yeah I didn't share big boys view on the color purple and rocky. He just sounded like a hater.
@@Poppa-Lobo It did disrespect black men....how his that hate???
@@KingAuthor83 it was hate because it was baseless. And sorry, I wasn't reaching thinkin bout color in that instance. 😏
@King Author It's telling a black woman's story which isn't going to be rosy about their experiences of black men. Black women are the least protected group in the world yet were still expected to keep quiet about or treatment. No.
I went to school with Huey Newton's son (Montclair elementary in Oakland).. And the day his father got killed his mother and him were on the front page of the Oakland Tribune crying it was really sad I'll never forget that..
Ms. Elite Same reason they killed all our black leaders, stop the revolution
Ms. Elite I really don’t care for your ignorance but go on Twitter the proof is all there now. You’ve been brainwashed to hate us just cause our skin color. All that shit is over with now racist and racism will always lose in the end.
@@PennyMsElite I heard Netwon had a drug habit and he was killed by a member of The Black Guerilla Family for being behind on paying them. For awhile, Huey got by on credit which is why they didn't ask for money. When it came time to pay up, Huey didn't have it so they killed him.
@@Supremmo Cops put him on the drugs.
Supremmo you heard.....It shows me how much you know. You mean to tell me you do not know; yet, you talking all this crap like you know.
Listening to this as a young black woman and 30 this information is key !
Same here 24 years young🤞🏾 this our history. Golden!
This was so powerful! It was a privilege for me to watch and hear GREATNESS from these BLACK KINGS!!! Thank you for sharing🙏🏾
I did not know about Jawanza before this video, but he said a lot of deep stuff.
You should watch his presentation the conspiracy to destroy black boys and to be popular or smart the black peer group on youtube really interesting
Most of this audience wasn't ready for Dr. Newton.
Carlton gone step every time. God bless these beautiful powerful men in life and after. I’m still listening to everything Dr. Kunjufu has to say today.
Lmao girl carlton wasnt playing you seen the shade at 29:06
Thank you REELBLACK! Reels like these are SO important because it allows later generations to hear our giants speak about issues in their own words and in a natural way. Many of the issue, thoughts and feelings of 20-30-40-50-100 years ago are still prevalent today. Thank you RB for allowing the elders to speak.✊🏾

*Imhotep
I loved this video! I sadly wish that our community wasn afraid to step up and demand change like this! I also noticed that every time 1 of the men was spitting some fire, they always went to a commercial break! 😂😂 can’t handle the heat!!
Demand change? We wish your community would change, too. Trust me. Would be nice if you would just behave. That would go a long way. The only group of people on the planet that act as their own oppressor.
Oh Yes! TRUTH INDEED
Why I haven’t found this KZhead channel sooner! 🙏🏾. Finding these videos affirm my belief that I was born in the wrong generation. It seem as though there was more pride and unity amongst the community in the 60s through 80s. Four decades later, why haven’t I been taught about these gentlemen. I’m more embarrassed if anything. I owe these gentlemen (and generation) an apology.
No u weren’t We all have to be our own leaders
The show opened with the usual patronising white tones about Martin Luther King, their chosen and favoured hero for us, even though they killed him. They are totally afraid of Huey P. Newton and Malcolm
Yep, they killed our Brother Dr. King and hijacked and whitewashed his legacy. They even made our own people hate Dr. King with false facts. The serpent's evil knows no bounds...
If a person is too intelligent and makes sense to the people, they get assisinated. They want dumb pets so they can patronize them and pretend they give a damn.
@@hakeemsd70m And we killed Huey B Newton...and then allowed them to hijack and whitewash his legacy...the b.s. is real.
@@darylc2799 wow... I never thought of you is Legacy this way, but you're so right my friend. I love Huey, and I know he's turning over in his grave right now after everything that he lived gave his life for, his Revolution and his vision of black strength and conciousness, is being used as a joke by white supremacy. It's just way too real...
Who’s “they killed him?” A group didnt kill him. He was killed by a criminal racist who was attracted to the segregationist policies of, none other then, the democrats. The most racist/sexist political party in America
Huey, the greatest urban warrior of all time.
Fearless
O don't think sexual assault is anything to celebrate
Better know it !! Power to my People ✊🏽
What did he achieve for Black people?
@@God-Love-FreedomHe could have achieved a lot more, especially in the beginning, if the FBI wouldn't have infiltrated the party and caused chaos among them. A lot of the social programs you have today are because of huey newton's early efforts
It takes a village. I remember the days being a black kid in the black community and most of the adults would correct me, guide me, or even help me pay for snacks at the local store. The 80s. Great time growing up. All adults were respected, and the adults looked out for the children, regardless of parenthood. I was one of the lucky ones.
Oh Yes! TRUTH INDEED AMEN 🙏
7:15"I'm talking bout what Huey Newton says right now"I felt that in 2021 my guy😂😂💯🤟🏾
“Images control the self esteem”
New flash!!!! Huey Newton was a real one.
Truth Indeed
Yeah they were different cloth of Black Man back then very intelligent well spoken strategic speakers and movers nothing like what we have today its sad 😢
I can't believe how relevant this is to today.
I'll forever celebrate HUEY P. NEWTON..A HERO INDEED
I wish this was longer!
Thank god it’s not
The teaching of Jawanza Kunjufu is another outstanding black figure for historical imagery of Black Men.
WOW...I forgot all about this show! I was born in Berkeley and raised in Oakland. It's amazing how certain things just takes you back to your childhood.
Same Same! Born in Berkeley at Alta Bates in 1979 grew up in Oakland until '91 then moved to Los Angeles. So fortunate to have lived & been conscious through thus period of time.
Huey Newton spitting that last bit of consciousnesses revolution a year before he would pass. He still lives through the fighting spirit to force justice to the unjust.
RIP Huey, we need you today.
Real Talk !
This was brilliant. Crazy how this still relates in 2023.
When Black women talked like that as being the first teachers of our people...I remember those days. Sister said some powerful stuff in agreement with the brothers.
Huey P Newton and Bobby Seale were the best that i had ever seen or heard of since Malcolm X. They are real men who just did not back down from the face of ignorance and oppression. They were/ Are Educated, strong and fearless. I love these Guys. I wish we had more men like Huey, Bobby, Martin L King and Malcolm X. and Yes Huey P Newton Deserves a Holiday in his Name.
An Let's not forget Medgar Evers
Good find...Jawanza dropping some serious knowledge!
These are very important and informative conversations. I'm happy to have found this page! And I agree, Dr. Huey P. Newton's birthday should definitely be a national holiday! I also appreciate Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu's commentary as well! Profound and full of facts
All of them!
Oh Yes! TRUTH INDEED
This was 1988... Gangsta rap just hit the scene... And added to the destruction in a terrible way
Sad but True SMH
Watching this today, it hurts.
It shouldn’t stay focused 🖤✊🏾✊🏽✊🏿
weirdo Waldo I’m trying but it hurts cause we as a people are still fighting the fight they fought and our ancestors fought. It’s the enemy has a scouting report on us.
Shawn Charles you’re absolutely right but we must implement what both DR Jawanza(hope I spelled it right) and jay-z said: first appropriate are education for BLACK youth, second evaluate the situation by asking the correct questions, and lastly start are own society within this one. Virtually black separatism
Huey Newton is straight up the man............
His theory on weak genes being weeded out due to slavery doesn’t apply to the continent of Africa. Second, most slaves are mixed with whites, hence they have have whites genes. You are not looking at statistics p, you are motivated by emotions.
@@madameclark3453 Very analytical and thoughtful Clark, you just proved my point.
I will always come back to this from time to time. After the second time I watched it, I bought several books by Jawanza Kunjufu. This was a great way to celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr.
Wow, thank you!
I'm watching this in Oct. 2023 & NOTHING has changed. These poor LEADERS could possibly have never imagined, THEN, how stagnant the Afro-American condition has been since.
The white dude hosting is very, very clearly hostile and trying to interrupt the guests every chance he gets. They think they're invisible or some shit, they really do think they're slick with it.
I see that too.
And rude. Huey wasn't having it LOL
He was a dick.
He kept cutting off Huey. What an ass.
Watch the interview on Donahue with Louis Farrakhan. Donahue had Farrakhan on the show to Show him as militant radical who hates white people! It's the job of the white HOST to make sure the TRUE MESSAGE of Strong black people don't make it to the masses that don't know our HISTORY // WHICH IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WHITE PEOPLE ARE TAUGHT TO BELIEVE... IOW, PERPETUATE THE LIE THEY'VE ALWAYS BEEN TAUGHT...
Out of noooooooowhere: "What about Eddie Murphy?" Censorship was hardcore back then, smh!
Riiiiiiiight, like out of left field. Stay the hell on topic lady 🤦🏾♀️!
Censorship is even worse today .. It's just hidden right in front of our faces.
Childhood memory of this show unlocked.
Thank you Huey R.I.P., Eldridge R.I.P. and Bobby ( In Oakland, California along with Reed ) for coming to our School ( N.Y.C.C.C. ) in 71. Thank you Ishmael for coming to our School ( Richmond College, Now the C.O.S.I ) in 75. Tks. much.
Relevant even in today!! From South Africa.
“Well trained, but poorly educated” Spot on -Jawanza Kunjufu
Right Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu
what a treasure it is to hear Huey speak in a setting like this… so blessed to have found this channel 🙏🏽
So glad i watched this. Thank you @reelblack
That male cohost was making my blood boil proving the exact point that these men were talking about
My blond hair is just like the male host!
Yeah, i can totally see why they dont have shows like this no more. They were way too effective
AT WHAT?
@Love Always there was no reason to explain, just ignore
Truth
We could have shows like this on KZhead. Sadly, most folks are trying to be the next Tommy Sotomayor, screaming and cursing all the time
Powerful. Thank you so much Reelblack for the content.
Huey P. Newton was a force .
2020 and beyond....Heuy Newton does need a National Day of respect, Hell Malcolm X definitely does. It's very disrespectful too me that they dont have it...I always take Malcolm X birthday off and I am gonna to start for Huey Newton as well. Dr. Juwanza is gonna be celebrated as well.
How do you say Dr Juwanza and Dr Newton put some respect on his same ✊🏾 many people of the BPP were highly educated
@@cyyrious Fred Hampton as well...
You're celebrating so why bother? Why is it disrepect that they do not have it? Why should they have it? And who do you mean with they?
✊🏾
What does celebrating their birthday do for the black collective outside of symbolism?
Wow this was film 30 years ago and it’s still happening!
Huey P Newton still needs a national holiday
I love watching this program, keeping it all in mind!❤
Man that lady in the purple the way she talked to Huey Newton omg.
She's one of the scared black folks.
When black women are afraid or angry they often attack black men, whether they know them or not. Happens every single day.
He laughed too lol
Jordan Glasper here we go
They must paid her to do that ~ girl like what have you done to help the black community
