REMINDER: Black Panthers Documentary Airs TONIGHT on PBS
- Thread starter veritech
- Start date
I can see how y'all say it is a version for white people. In that regard this documentary was about informing those white people who don't know shit about the Panthers or very little about them and to give a general idea of the who the Panthers were their rise and fall.
There are pros and cons to everything and they focused on a bit of each. It had two hours to fill they didn't go in depth about everything the Panthers did comprehensively but it confirmed some things I heard from family members. about Huey and the party. I even seen my folks in the documentary.
Overall I think it was a good doc. But out of all these documentary I never feel like enough gets told. I guess that means I gotta read more literature on it instead.
Y'all should also check out the black power mixtape and a few others in the movie section. Check ballscouts post.

So did feed the homeless food drives, donating canned goods and the idea of healthcare for all etc gotta remember they had a socialist ideology they were trying to implement and they were covering all bases.
US government adopted all or part of each program the Panthers started after they dismantled the Panthers.

At this point, the story is about COINTELPRO, not years of Panther divisions and in fighting being brought to the forefront. Destroying the image of Huey is fuck shit, as that man was brilliant. Drugs got him, but without an analysis of the juxtaposition of drugs in black America, this doc is just empty slander.
and so little actual discussion of the ideology of the Party is a missed opportunity for young people who have not read multiple books and pamphlets to pieve together a understanding of the attempt to connect the world to the struggles of Blask people. The material is complex, and the director seemed to think that Americans cant think on a higher plane anymore, and enjoy topical argument bullshit. If you are not going to focus on how America destroyed and murdered it's own citizens , without trial then why waste supporters money in producing a empty documentary like this.

“Vanguard of the Revolution” is Liberal History, Strips and Omits Socialism from History of the Black Panther Party
by BAR managing editor Bruce A.Dixon
I used to have a Che Guevara T-shirt. It was a pretty good shirt, but it told me nothing about the man or his life's work. It had Che's face on it, but by itself the face is just a pop culture icon, shorthand or short-brain for everything you want to know, or everything think you already know about it. That's what Stanley Nelson's film, Black Panthers, Vanguard of the Revolution does to the Black Panther Party. He made the movement of my youth an icon. A T-shirt.

It was interesting until the last 30 mins or so when they went HARD on Huey and the split. I will say this was my first time every hearing about the TV interview between Huey and Stokely.. Had anyone else heard about it before this documentary??
I never realized me and Dr Huey had the same birthday's....He would of been 74 years old,yesterday
There were different factions of the party....East Coast West Coast ( Oakland and LA) being the main ones..
They were not interchangeable but 41st and central tells the story of the LA Chapter and the murder of Bunchy carter.
The Panthers were dead before the crack epidemic so your timing is off.
What destroyed the Panthers was CoIntelPro which to this day still has the divisions you speak of....Was Elaine Brown and agent or was she a victim of a smear.
The FBI used forged letters and rumors to cause rifts inside the party. Just like when Chairman Fred was trying to unite the Chicago branch with the Blackstones the FBI sent letters telling Jeff Fort that Hampton and the BPP was going to kill him.
It also caused division between Hueys Panthers and Cleavers Panthers..
Co-Sign
The demise of The Black Panthers was caused primarily by COINTELPRO.
The FBI knew if they didn't dissolve the Panthers, they were going to grow larger and more chapters were going to emerge nationally and internationally.
Similar to the Pan Afrikan Marcus Garvey UNIA movement, the white man/white woman could not have a repeat.
And politicize as was being done in Chicago the street gangs.
The FBI was always afraid of a unifying force or that messiah that would unite the black people in the country.
The panthers had that potential which made them feared

Another good book is called In the Spirit of Crazy Horse.

Thanks! I will have to look up that one. Another book to look for is "
Soledad Brother: The Prison Letters of George Jackson", and his followup, "Blood in My Eye".
Man, where was this information when I was a youngin... I just woke up a few years ago 
Their working on that now for HBO.
Wow. I cannot wait.
I always thought it was Regan(Contra?) who brought the dope in and I recall crack being started in Oakland.. that's why I always connected the two..also I don't pass the blue coats..they always instigate shit in our party/community to keep us fucked fighting each other..damn..that's the way it is.
Yeah I have those and have read them too..
I actually posted Prisons on Fire audio book a few days ago which was released to commemorate Geroge Jacksons murder ..
Nah crack was after but destroying the Panthers made that easier. Imagine if the Panthers were still in effect if they could have flooded the area with crack.
I'm watching it right now. Been watching it for over an hour. I'm so fucking pissed off. The disease that is white supremacy needs to be cured at any cost.
