Huey Newton on TV dropping heat 1988 (MLK Birthday)

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

This is a fantastic discussion, by the way.

As others have stated...probably not anything new or groundbreaking given that I think those issues have been discussed for decades even before 1988. But you just don't see this kind of forum on tv or radio today.

really shows you what changed.

This shyt used to be on tv ALL the time

good shyt

Huey ain't black according to cats like you right?

Huey was Wong Huey here but I was more impressed by the brother with the beard. He was a lot more articulate.

Biracials can be for Black empowerment but still not Black. I have not heard that Huey was biracial, though.

Huey needs his own holiday

Biracial just means two races. Obviously Huey had non black heritage just looking at him. I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to show how stupid that "biracials ain't black" position is.

swaying off course with this.

Don't be obtuse. Biracial has the connotation of 1 parent of one race and 1 parent of another race. Huey probably didn't even know of any Cac distant relatives stop reaching.

Huey seemed to encapsulate a lot more of the nuance that the more mainstream and famous people did like Jesse, Al, or even Farrakhan. Dude knew what the hell he was saying...but obviously the shock jocks get more fame from the dominant society because of how extreme they are

can ya'll drop this pseudoscience though?

Huey was pro-black to the point that he wanted equality. He wasn't LITERALLY saying white people were inferior.

Peep what he said about jews as well.

Who said this? The social realm is outside of simple biology. Deal with it.

Heard Khalid made a nice little check from that Donahue appearance...

No, that's your personal connotation or definition of the term. The true definition of "biracial" is a person of two different races. We don't even have to make this about semantics, we can be real. If you're going to take the position that people with non black blood can't be black then be consistent. Huey was clearly mixed I don't care how spin it. He still was a black man due to the melanin in his skin. That's the point being made.

Everyone is admixed and of "two different races" because the biological basis for race is flimsy which is why your whole premise is dumb. Huey's parents are Black and he is Black and having Cac admixture is irrelevant since he does not directly descend from any one Cac.

I've been in my lane. Only a fool would think they can help end racism.
