Black Panther Party member Kathleen Cleaver on non-violence. [source]

Non-violence is a very non-functional approach in a society that's based entirely on organized force and violence. A country that was created in violence, land was taken in violence, a society that's perpetuating itself through violence in the ghettos, in Vietnam, in Africa. Wherever you look, there is organized force and violence at work to maintain this society. There is a world of difference between 20 million unarmed people, and 20 milion people organized and armed to the gills. That's Power.

The more I learn about the Civil Rights Movement [Post Malcolm, post MLK] in the late 60s through mid 80s the more shocking it is to me that we call it the 'Civil Rights Movement.'

Black Civil Rights Groups were in it for the Revolution. The BLA was robbing armored cars to finance a war. The Black Panthers were uniting the gangs and the New Left and preparing for something big. The Panthers were training and arming people across the country, all while practicing exactly what they preached by providing free food and healthcare to the people. The United States was assassinating, imprisoning, and crippling black communists. There were revolts in all the major cities.

We've had our first attempt at communist revolution and everybody [White People] pretends that it just didn't happen.

We were so close to waking up. Everyone on the ground saw that the people are capable of providing for themselves. We can provide our own healthcare, we can feed the hungry, we can end police oppression.

The Black Panthers showed us that we could. And they suffered for it. But hey, at least we're back to try again.

On August 30th we venerate Young King Brother Fred Hampton on his 75th birthday 🎉

Deputy Chairman Fred Hampton was the one of THE greatest orators, leaders, and visionaries to join the Black Panther Party Of Self-Defense 🖤✊🏾

Fred Hampton was born & raised in the Chicago suburbs of Illinois. Civil liberties, rights, and laws were always of great interest to him. After graduating high school, he enrolled in a pre-law program at Triton Junior College in River Grove, Illinois. He joined his local NAACP branch to get involved in the civil rights movement. He rose to the position of Youth Council President for his strong leadership and organization skills. In this position, Brother Hampton mobilized a racially diverse group of 500 young men/women who successfully lobbied city officials to create better academic services and recreational facilities for Black American youth.

In 1968, he joined the Black Panther Party of Self-Defense, headquartered in Oakland, CA. Shortly thereafter, he was selected to head the Chicago Chapter. Here, he created strong personal and political ties with his mentor & chaplain, Father George Clements at the [then] Holy Angels Catholic Church; which served as a safe haven for the Panthers targeted for police surveillance or harassment.

Brother Hampton accomplished a great many things as a young, prolific leader of the BPP Chicago Chapter. He successfully negotiated a gang truce on live television.One of his greatest successes was an unprecedentedly integrated approach to sociopolitical unity; he formed a “Rainbow Coalition”, which included: the Students for a Democratic Society, the Blackstone Rangers, a street gang and the National Young Lords, a local Puerto Rican organization. He was the first leading Panther to achieve this. This alliance is what truly struck the cord of fear in the Chicago P.D. & the FBI. In an effort to neutralize the Chicago Chapter of the BPP, the Black Panthers were placed under heavy surveillance & were subjected to several harassment campaigns.

By 1969, several Black Panthers and Chicago cops either suffered injury or were killed in shootouts across the city, which resulted in the arrest of over 100 members. On Dec 4th of that same year, under the FBI's initiative, the County PD & Chicago PD conducted heinous, unlawful, and unnecessary raid on the Black Panther Party's HQ in the early morning hours while Brother Hampton, leader Mark Clark, and other Panthers slept. They fired over 100 rounds into the apartment without warning. Twelve officers executed Brother Hampton as he slept, drugged by a sedative slipped into his drink by "Panther"/FBI informant O'Neal. Naturally, in Jan 1970, the County Coroner's office ruled the Black Panther leaders' deaths as "justifiable homicide".

Over 5,000 souls attended Brother Hampton’s funeral. Many civil rights activates eulogized him, including his good friend and mentor Father George, who also held a Requem Mass for him at his church.

After many years of coverups, internal investigations, lawsuits, raids, and conspiracies confirmed, the FBI, County PD, & Chicago PD finally admitted to the wrongful deaths of Brother Hampton and Mark Clark. In 1990, and again in 2004, the Chicago City Council passed resolutions commemorating December 4th as Fred Hampton Day. Today, Brother Hampton rests at the Bethel Cemetery in Haynesville, LA where his parents are from - which continues to endure violent desecration from White Supremacist vigilantes/supporters.

" You can kill a revolutionary but you can never kill the revolution. People have to be armed to have power" - Young King Fred Hampton

We pour libations & give him💐 today as we celebrate him for his love of our people, his relentless dedication to the BPP cause, and his young yet wise spirit that lives on. May be the find restful peace in spirit that he was/is denied in the physical.

Offering suggestions: flower offerings at his grave, libations of water, prayers and frankincense toward his elevation

‼️Note: offering suggestions are just that & strictly for veneration purposes only. Never attempt to conjure up any spirit or entity without proper divination/Mediumship counsel.‼️

“I myself, as a white man, I’ve got a long way to go and a lot to learn. I haven’t been in your place. I haven’t suffered the way you suffered. I’m just beginning to learn the nature of that experience. And somehow that has to be translated to the white community now. Time is running out for everybody. That’s enough. That’s enough talking.”

—Marlon Brando, speaking at the funeral of Bobby Hutton, the 17yr old Black Panther who was murdered by the Oakland police.

What was mochi’s exact moment of being in love with lime? We know that like got hit with the truck of feels when mochi started showing Thigh™ but what about childhood crushing mochi?

Also funny if the mob spell keeping mochi on the down low took a dramtic dip in effectiveness when she started showing Thigh™

i think there was a time where he saved her from some bullies in middle school!!! actually it used to be "saved her from being bullied," but since the mob spell development,.., i think the more probable scenario is that mochi tried to help someone else from being bullied (lime didnt care to interfere), but when they turned on her, THEN he stepped in. middle school lime was a bit of a punk so he got into his first REAL fight there. black eye and everything. he won though (mochi high five) and they all got sent to the principles office

that was also the turning point for their friendship pretty much!! because before it was like "ugh the weird girl across the street" / "that jerk who put dirt in my backpack and calls me names" (with an odd sense of camaraderie because its the orders(tm) from the parents that they walk home together and watch out for each other)

but after this event its better between them..,.. mochi thought what he did was cool and starts bringing him sweets from the cat cafe, and limes like "Maybe shes not so bad."

anyway thats when mochi first started to like him!! it was that weird middle school type crush where they seem so cool and you daydream about them being a cool prince and you feel awkward talking to them but still want to be around them as much as possible.

and it just never went away. in fact she tried to ignore it and also didnt tell her mom about it because she knew about the whole witch-love thing, and she didnt want her mom to start separating them (which she definitely would have to prevent mochi having a huge weakness right away)

and obviously over time it got worse. WAY worse when he hit puberty. middle school lime was an average kid. maybe one of those kids that you go "Oh he looks like he'll be cute when he grows up!" but puberty hit him like a fucking TRUCK. got way too tall and handsome way too fast!!! AND with time he also got more and more comfortable with her so he spent more time teasing her. but luckily at the same rate mochi was developing her early witch skills(tm) so she was still good at hiding her feelings (thank god. especially since hed throw in the occasional flirty line to mess with her. a weaker woman would have folded)

and on the side note of the mob spell dipping with mochis shorter skirt: IT DIDNT!!!!!! which is why lime thought he was losing his damn mind!!!!! hes all hot and bothered and no one else seems to give a shit hes like "????? is it just me???" and everyone else is like "is it just you what?"

but i think limes feelings didnt start with the thigh thing, it actually started with the cuddle thing. that time she spent a night or two at his house (first sleepover in forever since tiramisu banned it when they were around 13) and one way or another they fell asleep together, and when lime wakes up to mochi cuddled into his arms hes like "Oh boy....thats not bad actually..." and little did he know admitting that to himself opened a floodgate that he locked shut for years and years

#hnngfngnf #lore #text #bpp #good q!!!! #i need to draw more mochi pining for him #mochi liked lime before liking lime was cool #(there were still girls who liked him in middle school. he was the cool kid) #but obviously hiked up to the max in high school

"Theoretically, there was supposed to be equality between the sexes in the BPP. Though sometimes it was taken for granted that we were going to do the housekeeping or cooking. We Panther women had to fight against that, constantly.

Party members came from all walks of life. Some were conscious, some were chauvinistic, some were from the street and had their own street philosophy, while others were educated college kids.

On the other hand, whether you were male or female, you received weapons training, served as the officer of the day, and had to be out selling papers or flipping pancakes for the children".

Charlotte O'Neal, member of the Kansas City chapter of the Black Panther Party in 1969.

The problem, I think, with the average white leftist is their sincere belief that the revolution is near. They think that a couple of mutual aid groups, some petitions, and a series of toothless protests will genuinely topple the Empire.

They think that the system can be fully reformed out of capitalism and into socialism. They think that revolution can be conducted without violence. They believe that their actions are revolutionary because they are afraid. They look at the bloody road to revolution and they cover their eyes.

They still dream of houses, children, and the middle class. They have too much to lose in the revolutionary fire. You can show them injustice, oppression, and genocide and their reaction is to make some signs and call their representatives.

They honestly believe that voting democrat will make this nation and the world it dominates a better place.

They're not training militias because they're still afraid of guns. These people look at Castro, Che, Huey, Fred, Mao, or Lenin, and they laugh to themselves. They thank God that they live in enlightened times where such violence isn't necessary.

They're not studying government because they want to make a new one. They're studying government to get a career in politics.

Org after org after org steps up to the plate to declare that they have the answers. They have the actions. This time, the protest will work. This time, it won't be hot air. This time, our gains won't evaporate in a year.

Organize yourselves. Educate yourselves. Arm yourselves. Gaze at the road to revolution and make peace with it. There can be revolution in our lifetimes. We just have to decide that we want it.

Get on your local scene and look for the Panthers.

African drums and the words “All power to the people” echoed in Harlem, New York, on Sunday, Aug. 20, as the blue flag emblazoned with a black panther flew again.  

On that day, veterans of the Black Panther Party and the Black Liberation Army and supporters old and young assembled to rename 122nd Street and Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard as Black Panther Way. The Harlem Headquarters of the BPP stood at 2026 Adam Clayton Powell from 1968 to 1976.

Freedom fighters in their own way, one and all! The Aryan Nations, KKK, National Vanguard, National Alliance, Alt-Right, Proud Boys, etc are NOT, nor have they EVER been FREEDOM FIGHTERS! The “majority” has and controls everything and they still want MORE! DIVIDE and CONQUER! Why do you think the phrase “Black lives matter” is such anathema? Why do you think the rise of a so-called “Black Messiah” kept Miss J. Edgar Hoover up at night? She was so terrified of Black unity that Satan (her hubby) put COINTELPRO in her ear! Then we have useful bed wenches and sambos like Koonye, Candy Da Coon, Stacey RASH, Herschel YASSABOSS Walker, and the rest of the Koon Platoon!
