Huey P Newton 1 year before he got Murdered

[Serious]

Prison changed Huey. They went into detail on the PBS Black Panther Party doc

good looks just found my friday night flick.

I don't think so. Crips started off political and deteriorated into what they're legendarily known for now. The BGF went from a socio-political Marxist revolutionary organization to a typical prison gang with even a modern day street presence in Baltimore. BGF and Crip leaders have testified on behalf of La Eme and the AB and vice versa. The NOI fostered the environment that lead up to Malcolm's murder and the Hanafi massacre.

My overall point is we tend to romanticize Black leaders and organizations but forget they're imperfect just like any of us. Then when they fall from grace or come up short or get murdered over some fukk sh!t we start entertaining conspiracies. We forget a lot of Black leaders from years gone by aren't that far removed from the streets. It shouldn't be surprising when they go back to that rudimentary street element and it either bites or eats them.

@Barnett114 @CHICAGO someone need to get a ahold of Lupe before its too late

Dropping great facts in the episode


Watch the whole things, great example of successful Black men on the panel

He was a crackhead right here too.

Yo, I had to pause the vid just to make this comment.

I honestly assumed that Huey was killed as a young man in the 60s or 70s.

I knew he had gotten his PHD, but I also assumed he got that prior to forming the Panthers.

I never knew until right now, that he was around up until '89.

I can say that I have 3 of Brother Kunjufu's books, Countering the Conspiracy to Destroy Black Boys vol. 1 and 2/ Raising Black Boys, and the information I got from both of them went a long way in helping me to raise all of my children, my son and daughters.

I have read at least 7-8 books on the BBP. And off the top of my head at least 3 of them mentions Huey being on drugs and heavily during the end.

It wouldn't surprise me tho, if there was more to the story of him being murdered.

I get pissed at Hoover and Cointellpro every time I think about The Panthers.

The Panthers feeding poor people and kids before school, opening health clinics, and educating the masses gets destroyed by the Govt. yet the KKK gets to hide in plain sight.

Huey was on some gay shyt?






The bond between them was enormous -- and ultimately romantic and sexual, as well as fraternal and comradely. This was demonstrated finally by a small cache of hand-written letters never publicly revealed before that Newton sent his patron from prison as well as after his release from the Alameda county jail on an old illegal possession of a gun conviction, several years before he was murdered in 1989. In one letter, Newton glowingly expresses his "joy and sensual excitement" after spending his first night following his release from prison with Schneider. The producer had bailed him out, driven him in a white stretch limo by the prison so he could wave to his fellow prisoners, then taken him off to spend the night together "on top of the Hyatt." He then explains why he went with Schneider and not his wife Fredrika ("Freddy"): "I chose to spend the first night out of jail with you rather than Freddy because, as you stated to someone, the two of us were married first ... So satisfied," he adds with an almost audible sigh.

What does this have to do with anything? Does it change his legacy as a Black icon?

He was dropping bombs, no doubt.
