Huey Newton - Eyes on the Prize Clips 

'black people', not people of colour. stop caping for other people

Sanchez Maquina 🙄negative havin ass

Jasmine Bridgewater you’re just an idiot for using those terms uno that right? There’s nothing wrong with just saying black.

Sanchez Maquina stop 💀👎🏾

ziahman stop what?

I think so too, I think he was the only who was literally mentally liberated and they destroy him, they destroy the whole and that's what they did. I watched the documentary and how they turned them against each other.

Probably contributed to the drugs

Read Huey's autobiography. "Revolutionary Suicide". Utube has the audiobook.

Thanks I didn't know he had a audiobook

Of course

Just finished it myself

Read it in 1981... Great book! Also, keep in mind his name is Dr. Huey P. Newton.... The media call him Huey P. Newton to devalue him. He's a law school graduate and he had. PhD

Me to! It was an amazing book.

Just finished it too. Dr. Newton went to the same University of California Santa Cruz where I was studying for some of the same years, but I'm just get to know him. Walk in the other's mocassins for at least a mile before judging them. That's my feeling about Dr. Huey Newton. 😓

He put the battery's in back of black man that made them leave there wives n children creating single mothers he did alot for the black community settin us back 30 40 years cuz there was black people who owned businesses in 50s 60s anybody from the black panther has done anything else besides food stamps creating a generation depending on food stamps wic

@@bronxbully6251 I don't understand. I think I might know what you're saying but I don't want to assume. What exactly are you trying to say?

@@bronxbully6251 huh

@@bronxbully6251 lol

chrissyk 247 why they always lying on the true leaders

✊🏿

I get it ..it's sad I was mad about his addiction then I listen to most all his interviews ECT..alot of stress and fear and ungreatfulnessn..you must rem alot of them unlike Huey had no education ..self taught ..those that did educate themselves had little experience against the force they tried to come against ..sad but heroic at the same time .I have a whole different view and a much greater respect for the black panther way before me ..lol history has so much to try to read understand retain ..this topic is so critical for us .we take soooo much for granted know when we can't afford to..

@@crystalwilson38 mmm

A man of danger. His intentions were honorable but he ended sick, to the point of abuse. Look it up.He was extremely violent in his last years. Truly tragic.

Was strong unfortunately like si many brought down by cocaine which was stronger

did like 3 years it’s not that deep

@@Hr-dy1xv They put him in the "soul breaker" box. You should do some research on that.

Venus! You must have read “Spirit of the Panther” by David Hilliard. I’ve read it 3 times! It has touched me in so many ways. My someday wish is to meet his Wife! She is a strong phenomenal woman I’ve always looked up to!

I appreciate this piece of information. He probably was bipolar. He's looking wild about the eyes in this clip. I first saw this back in 1991, I believe.

@@glittersilver7779 I've read the critical books regarding Huey and the BPP, including the ones he wrote himself. I'm still trying to hunt down his poetry book from '75 lol. I think anyone interested in learning about him or who have BS assumptions of who Huey was needs to read 'Spirit of the Panther' especially. I think he needs a miniseries based on the Hilliard book. It was so good! I finished it in three days and read it again afterward LOL. I love how they showed official documentation and transcripts of how much the law, locally and higher up, were against him. Naturally, I was pleased to learn the things I felt Huey to be as a regular person was confirmed by Fredrika. It's hard to explain but if you pay attention to him in interviews, etc, you can see it in his eyes. The intensity, sensitivity, the knowledge. I adore Fredrika and would love to meet her, too. Watching her in interviews, too, you can tell she's super sweet. I really wish Huey was still with us. He died so young and unfairly. It bothers me very much that after 31 years, people still don't know just how important he was AS A PERSON, in addition to being on the frontlines of the Black Liberation Movement: the original BLM. I wrote about Huey in two published pieces and made a video out of one poem, as his death anniversary was just last Saturday. Do you follow Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation? Fredrika's president, David and Elaine Brown are a part of it, too. I'm not sure about Kathleen Cleaver or Erica Huggins. I don't think they hold board seats, but Fredrika's son, Kieron is a board member, too. They're on Instagram and LinkedIn. It's been around since '93, and are in the process of funding a museum in Oakland dedicated to Huey and the Panthers. Also, there's supposed to be a bust of Huey they design, too, in the city. I can't wait until they complete those projects.

@@Pllm30 Lol I presume you're referring to the moments his eyes widened. In truth, Huey had intense eyes, almost piercing. It is what it is. They say he could 'read' people; meaning, he'd look strangers in the face and tell them private things about themselves. Things either only they or someone very close to them would know. One of his bodyguards said he used to do that often. Huey felt anyone could do it, but it took concentration and energy. He was also somewhat of a hypnotist lol. One of his brothers taught him when he was younger, having come out of the military. Even before I learned those things about him, I got the idea that there was so much behind Huey's eyes. Such vulnerability, profoundness, fearlessness, wisdom, truth, and humaness wrapped up in them.

Venus Se7en thank you so very much for sharing this invaluable insight into the lives of this beautiful soul that was Huey P Newton. My spirit does not take to Elaine Brown she seems so egotistical and megalomaniac. David Hilliard smells like a sell out. I feel so sorry for Huey running an organisation that was run down by the very people he set up to uplift. Why didn’t Panthers try to help him clean himself up from drugs, drink and whatever else. Rest in Peace Huey P Newton your are truly missed.

We need the black panthers to protect our community. 👊🏼

And 2021 ♾️

What? A coked out goofball communist slurring his words , who actually works for the FBI , speaking a bunch of nonsense meant to get certain people elected and others arrested?

@@MrWatchowtnow how is a communist working for the FBI? Educate yourself

2021😁👍

My birthday too. Im embedded in him and from a city 2 hours away from his birthplace Monroe, LA called Pine Bluff, AR!

Blindianswirl Two, I know that's right, mild meandered people don't take no mess....

Blindianswirl Two I was reading the story on Bobby steel and they said heuy would fight anybody. he never was looking for trouble he just never back down.

abijahaj32 That is true but Huey was a target of some vicious bullies that got a surprise. Huey was light skinned and was fully black but looked mixed, in the black community people like that get tested a lot . Huey could fight real good and would knock some of the guys testing him unconscious, they respected him after he did that a few times.

Yes there are many light skin blacks that had to prove themselves ....and many times and still today we do

Blindianswirl Two They more likely was jealous of his good looks. Many blacks grew up hating their complexions and features that they were born with. When they see another black person of a different complexion and features, they take their anger out on him. They often blame society too, but I'd say they need to blame to two people who got together and created their ugly asses.

A quick Internet search of his many crimes would show you that he was not a man of God.

don’t do that your kind is worse

He was a thief, druggie, and murderer, what a stand up guy.

+Rex Richardson ok Rex, thanks for your two cent . We have enough money!

+Rex Richardson he was against drugs big time. he writes and speaks over and over again on this subject. if your white self bothered to research.

Really why did he die during a drug deal, he was killed by Tyronne Robinson, documented fact.

Rex Richardson There is a thing called character assassination and they did and do this with every black leader and with many members of this organization that was beneficial to the black community. I do not for one second believe that he was going to buy drugs and died over a drug transaction...He was AGAINST drugs!!

Probably why it is no longer affordable.

@@Auntkekebaby exactly, Ronald Reagan started being leery of poor people getting educated. The inflation in education costs started in California (like many things, good and bad).

Uniquely Shellbs Smart young lady ✊🏿

Victoria Kabeya Totally agree

At the beginning.

It could be something he picked up from his parents and older siblings who spent more time there, thus who's accents were strong.

mike green u can if u are raised around people that were raised themselves in that enviroment his parents.I believe like people fresh from a foreign country has a strong accient the child may grow in a certain school or state environment but sometimes it the parents that affect the child more their way of speaking, thinking etc.

The mother's influence gave him that twang.

Everyone in Oakland at the time were from the south

He actually left Louisiana when he was one, but yeah, his southern accent was still pretty strong

Right.., it's sad.😓 With all the torture he was subjected too, it's soooo possible the media has spun & twisted his murder report as well. Just sayin. Read "Revolutionary Suicide"... Read it or hear the audiobook on Utube. 😓🎤😓

thanks yea it is possible.

Just start, that’s what they did. There’s never been a more connected generation. Just saying… good luck

@@cqordarohunt it’s a pretty disconnected connection. Social media is the most distant the world has ever been.

Nah, Huey was on Drugs... Bobby Seale even stated that Newton started doing Cocaine after his release in 1970 and at one point was trying to take over the drug trade in Oakland. He was strong arming drug dealers in West Oakland for crack in the 80's and was subsequently killed by a drug dealer in 1989. I don't think Seale had any reason to lie on Newton.

It's True! He was robbing drug dealers and was a hopeless addict. Still functioning more effectively than most people who are sober. A Dr. after all.

Mimi Lockhart propaganda don’t believe everything

C.L. Taylor yes Huey was on drugs, but the day he got killed wasn’t because he was getting drugs to take them, he was trying to “take over the underbelly of politics” as Bobby stated. Huey wanted to stop the drug dealers pimps etc. while I don’t doubt he was doing drugs I’m sure if his intentions were to rob purely to take the drugs he would have had a gun on him. Plus crack is cheap.

C.L. Taylor Do you have some sources about when Huey started to use drug? Can’t find anything about...

He and Malcolm were two completely different people in the end: One lived a life of crime, and the other actually became a new man.

Could drop the link? Id like to read it

Me too.. can you share that transcript?

@@proudafricanamerican7586 i found full transcripts here it is digital.wustl.edu/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=eop;cc=eop;rgn=main;view=text;idno=new5427.0458.119

he definitely looks and sounds like he was on some sort of uppers. so, yes, might not be crack, but definitely coke or meth

@@CoolGobyFish i don't know about that because he always talked like this, he has a southern accent

@@KangKush He was from Louisiana lol.

That's because he was sober at the end of his life. His bouts were off and on.

@@VENUS.SE7EN Louisiana is a southern state....

He was on drugs big time. You can clearly see that here. The man looks like a deer in headlights here. What is wrong with you ppl? Are you sleep at the wheel? Wake up? Recognize when someone is on drugs so that they can get help. Stop being in denial!

@@Pllm30 you people??

@@Pllm30 He's showing nothing that he was on crack in 89. Shit came through like a hurricane. If he was bad I was made to believe he wouldn't be in these interviews at that point.

@@kurvana88 Sleep at the wheel. He was heavily into drugs. He was doing drugs when he was in the Black Panther movement. Read Elaine's book, Huey had a lot of demons. I appreciate what he originally tried to do starting off by helping the community, but their vigilante justice mindset and infighting wasn't going to work. Even Eldridge Cleaver left Huey alone.

@@Pllm30 I can only base it off of seeing crackheads all around my block. He may have been on drugs, I don't know but he wasn't on no crack bro. Not in that time living in belly of it.

MrRebuttal You're white.

MrRebuttal Mr. White Butthole.

They didnt play

Eldridge Cleaver was an FBI informant and agent provacetuer , that’s why they let him out of jail in the first place

Driuns I agree with you remember the power control the media - remember the cops was on the scene within minutes; in the ghetto that’s never happen

He was using when he got out of jail in early 70s. I seriously feel something major happened to him during those FREE HUEY trials being locked up in solidary confinement. He was never the same after that. Legend has it he got one of the WARD BROTHERS killed to take over their drug ring in oakland.

Lol yes he clinches his jaws..his eyes are blood shot ..but that is a personal matter nothing to do with what he did and stood for until the end it had drastic consequences...I'm sure it was no accident his introduction to the drug ..safely I'm sure by one of the same people he faught for ..that bothers me more than him becoming an addict and destroying alot of his image he so hard worked on ..he wasn't stupid ..well educated both school and self research did he skip the drug section ..and read that although it may have given him the umph he needed to talk in crowds ..I don't know if you all know that was something that he feared and caused him anxieties..even though he did it so well he was a very shy person and drawn ..he just masked it with drugs ..along with other issues he had ..he so feared his death and being killed by the police or one of his own .as I said I totally get it know but at the same time I don't ..kinda of exactly what he did getting on a drug he knew would destroy him ..it's not like he didn't see others abuse it and the after math of the use of it .yet he felt so I need of that crutch or excape..he went right for it .we all have that one little vulnerable imperfection that can be the demise of us we are unaware we have it due to our prides so anywho just sad..but I still view him as super strong.. powerful.. smart.. and an intellect, just flawed as we all are.

He was under the influence as he spoke then.

all the REAL panther followers know that Huey was a changed man after jail. The CIA drugged him brainwashed him. He got out and turned from a revolutionary activist to a crack addict. The panthers were killed (like all groups) from the inside out - Sell outs from the members themselves - paid off to bring in drugs - temptation etc. This fantastic group of real revolution turned into a bunch of crack addicts. Dont believe me? Go and talk to the actual ppl and do your research and see for yourself.

You mean to tell me that's all you got out of listening to Huey speak. No man is perfect. All the good he did for our people and if he was on drugs it still outweighs anything you have ever done in your lifetime.

Ummm no. Not with that culture vulture. Not someone of his caliber in the African American movement past be damned. Only someone with more prestige and understanding of what this man endured. Might as well say he could interview Pac next, no. If you need someone less formal than Don Lemon than Sway at least the intro would be dope.

He did a one man play about him

I was thinkin the same thing. It's like in his later years he reallly did resemble dude.

Yes handsome

Yo dady didnt have any yo mammy had several though

A coat of honor,......bitch.
