I'm not a heavy drinker but the day he was murdered I got drunk.I haven't been drunk since. It affected me horribly. He was still fighting the fight while many of us black people went on about our daily business. Meanwhile he was still be persecuted with all our weight on his shoulders! I still cry I still cry. I'm in the fight to and I will never stop until it is my time to leave here!
Thank you for not giving up the fight. It feels like a moment for a major social change may be on the horizon, but people with wisdom and experience will need to be ready.
How do you feel about the seventeen year old prostitute?That he murdered simply because she called him baby or the secretary of the black panthers that he had kidnapped, raped, murdered and tortured?
Huey, Bobby, Angela, George Jackson, Jonathan Jackson, Assata Shakur, Lil Bobby Hutton, H.Rapp Brown, Stokely Carmichael, Elaine, Fred Hampton, Che Gueverra, Malcolm X,..ALWAYS LOVE AND UTMOST RESPECT FOR YOU ALL,and so many more not mentioned! Remembering our Brother Trayvon Martin ! and New Orleans own MARK ESSEX, message from a rooftop.
I was a little girl when Huey was murdered, I always loved how they stood for our people, cared for the community, made changes when the government wouldn't give us any resources or options for a better living. We still need our history told today, better education, Healthcare, quality of life, equity, and safe policing. Things have gotten better, thanks to the BPP, they risked their lives for us to live better, and today we throw it away for riches, and the love of material items. We still have a long way to go, happy this is on RU-vid so today's generation can understand the struggle.
R.I.P. to filmmaker and television producer Henry Hampton, who made this interview happen, he was the chief producer of the critically acclaimed PBS documentary series, "Eyes On The Prize" 1 and 2 series, "The Great Depression" series, "Malcolm X: Make It Plain" among others. Parts of this interview appears in "Eyes on the Prize 2". HH work is deeply missed by all of us who have a great interest in history. Bobby Seale co-founder of "The Black Panther Party" said during a book signing that I attended, that Huey P. Newton was clean and sober when this important interview was conducted.
Yes, fascinating interview with this remarkable man. Good interview questions and giving us a chance to see him and hear him speak unfiltered and in his own words. Sadly, he died only a few months after this interview.
I had the honor of getting to know this brother as I was a teen. At the time he was just released and he moved into my mom's rental unit. I use to just enjoy his conversations with me and how great of a beautiful soul he was. Man the day he was killed it hurt me to the core as I felt I had just lost a older brother. That's what he was and meant to me. Love you big bro. Thank you and the BP brothers and sisters for your lifelong work. We all owe you all beyond words can express. Stick brings tears to my eyes. Rest in Heavenly eternity 🙏🏽
BROTHER YOU GOT TO HAVE SOME LITERTURE HE LEFT HOPEFULLY. I THINK BACK IN THE DAY WHEN WE WERE JUST BEAT PUSHED AROUND BY THE COPS!!! JUST ENJOYING OUR SELVES THE OPPRESSORS COME KILLING BROTHERS NOT JUST BUSTING HEADS BUT HARASSMENT ALL THE TIME!!!! HERE IT IS TODAY AGAIN ON OUR SONS & DAUGHTERS. NOW WE KNOW WE ARE A CHOSEN VESSEL ABD TODAY THEY HATE US EVEN THE MORE. GOOD TO KNOW YOU HAD CONVERSATION & INFLUENCE.
This is after he spent 3, 4 some odd years in prison being psychologically tortured and subjected to experimental mind control. Many who were close to him said he was different after that. Still a great man who never quit until his untimely demise.
ONE MIND ONE AIM ONE DESTINY IS INEVITABLE AS IN THE BEGINNING SO WILL IT BE IN THE END THE ENERGY OF THE CREATION IS NOT AGAINST THE CREATOR OR THE CREATED. IMPARTIAL MAYBE BUT NOT EVIL
@@Ghost-ri4xn even if it is facts neither you or me were there , that “fact” is based of what your read about him. However the courage in eyes is what I see . Beauty is what I see… you see different.. everything is said with respect 🙏🏾🤍 have a blessed day
I thought that exact thing when he was talking about how brutal the government and police were to him, I could feel the pain and see it in his eyes which represent his humanity and courage under fire. He was a very brave man with a beautiful mind.
@@salingstuff8085 : I see what you mean but like another gentleman commented, it’s not about the color of our skin but more about simply feeling like any other human being feels..
Our brother was brilliant. I was sad when this interview ended. I give thanks to all those who walked before us, clearing a wider path for the future of our people. Peace.
This man is built different. We should aspire to present ourselves this well. It is almost foreign to me to hear someone speak this way from his perspective and stance. God bless this voice, message, and intellect so that we may have more people who are conscious to be as well equipped as he was. This is power to the people in the flesh.
Learning about the BPP changed the trajectory of my life back when I was 18 on 2004. I even started a grassroots organization modeled after Panthers. This journey led me to become a first generation college graduate, and a professional school teacher.
And don't stop there then your degree allowed you to apply for jobs and get a government position which allowed you to move out the black community and spend your earnings with the very sane people that actually hate black people. Your degree didn't free you, no education from the oppressor frees the slave! You now are enslaved by debt, symbolism and material wealth, or the effort to gain, cause with all your degrees and education, you are still a nigga on time, living from check to check...The Program set forth by Elijah Muhammed is the only plan that can free the black man and women, Anything else is full of sellouts and opportunists and government informants...
The line of questioning was put forward to trip him up. He didn't fall for it. Long-live the spirit of brother Huey Newton. Come fort Spirit it is time.
Watching this Ive learned more about Huey Newton. Didn't know he endured so much trauma He deserves more recognition than what he received. Rest In Power!
Dr. Newton aka Huey P Newton was my friend and comrade. I was with him 2 weeks before he permanently changed his address. PLEASE start using his title! He earned it. Start using it so the algorithms will stop disrespecting him!!! Dr. Huey P Newton!!!! 🩸🖤🌳
I use to praise them as a teenager, the older I get them more I understand why they felt the need to erase him from our history, if many of us followed him in todays society, shit would be much different in our community in whole. This man was too intelligent for his time
If this is you. Your last Netflix show. I said to my kids and Gbabies . He is talking and walking like Huey. There is humor but we are witnessing truth humor. Thank you
Martyrs do not die . They stay alive , they continue inspire lives to be like them , the Martyrs are eternal , they carry the torch like no one can . Thank you uploader for sharing the life of this selfless servant of God . In my culture this the saying : Service to Mankind IS Worship to God .
Thanks brother Newton for your sacrificing yourself for . Long-live the spirit of Huey Newton. May the Cosmos absorb your spirit. May it deal with those who killed our people then , and continues to do so today.
The Black Panthers were my inspiration when I was growing up: Angela Davis, Huey Newton, Bobby Seale, Fred Hampton, Eldridge Clever, Stokely Carmichael, and so many others.
If ur relying on the cosmos, then you don't really understand what Huey P and them were doing and why. Cosmos ain't gonna do shiid. Go into your communities and organise with the people. Doesn't even have to be armed resistence; go into your communities and get baby boys off the streets so they don't think harming each other makes them men.
Yeah you'd think these right-wing lunatics would come up with something better than "They're faking Sandy Hook so they can take yer guns!" Meanwhile, in 21st century Chicago...
The BPP was well educated in the state and federal gun laws. Ronnie Reagan was gov of California trying to unarme the BPP and started gun control legislation in California.
This comment cannot be understated. I might make reaction video type content just to try to expose more people to Marxist content and your channel. I been thinking about making current commentary but maybe a day dedicated to the past which teaches us more an today can. You are so undervalued and should already be past a fawken mill! Keep it up and PLEASE MAKE A BACK UP CHANNEL, I'D HATE TO LOSE THIS REPOSITORY.
Thank you for allowing us to review your interview of things that happen that is still going on today we thank you for the children hit start feeding of the kids in the morning so we appreciate that he was a great leader
Thank you so much for standing up for, and protecting, the black community from this evil culture. I will always love you and spread your legacy. Rip King ✊🏾 Power to the people!
So happy how more footage is easily available of Huey P Newton. It was incredibly hard to find footage 10 years ago. I had to go off of stories from relatives.
It's like watching one of our God's right now. I totally Humbled and in Tears watching him even speak right now!!! This is a sad and one of the most Proudest moments in my life. Thanks for releasing this Monumental Footage of one of our Kings!!!
I am so impressed with this man. He was obviously fearless and truly passionate about our people. You can see it in his eyes. What an honor to watch this.
Huey is mesmerizing on more than a few levels! His eyes, his demeanor, his voice/accent with intellect, his beautiful skin, and his hair sends chills over my body! Seriously, I would've dated, married, and submitted to Mr. Huey P. Newton!❤🙏🏾
...and folk wonder why MLK jr, and other strong political / religious figures..... find themselves in hot water with the opposite sexes....😬 Folk be havin' the HARDEST OF TIMES serperating `purity`/ realness from the message at hand... bruce lee michael jai white tupac 80s queen latifah 80s janet jackson aaliyah s.w.v all early to mid 90s girl groups... mint condition The list...... Is LITERALLY... limitless...🤦🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️ Nas even made a statement abt `sade`.... on a dave east song titled 'godfather 4',, as pure --------- as tee tee presents herself!!! Every flower not meant to be plucked, groped...... and stroked!!! 🫤👁😳
Huey P Newton was my Super Hero. A man with a vision, A man with love and compassion for his people. A man who stood for freedom , justice and equality. A Brother, warrior and revolutionary. A soldier of God Almighty fighting the good fight against racism , white Supremecy oppression and injustice. May he Rest in peace among all the noble souls that have ascended to the heavenly realm of truth , righteousness and eternal bliss. You will always be loved and most of all missed so much. 🙏✌️
Man mad props to the behind the screen crew. Watching this as a filmmaker of the new generation. We just deal with SD cards these guys had to change film back then to capture long shots
Dear Baba, African American King, I still cy... Thank you for all you did. You are so missed and so loved. Rest in Love and Power Dr Huey. Brilliant Courageous, selfless King.
Those eyes were so darn telling....of so much. His posture, demeanor and overall articulation is flat-out brilliant and admirable. This man is a GD legend! RIP to the original man with the plan - Mr. Huey P. Newton. 😔
The system assassinated Huey's character.This man was and is a true leader and teacher,as well as a man of action !!! I am from Oakland,and I attended BPP meetings on E14th st in 1968 at age 2.This man was no thug or drug attic. ! Was he perfect ? No, but he is a Legend in Oakland.He was assassinated !He was martyred !!! RIP Huey P Newton
@@davemartino5997I find it fascinating how you all never speak on how you behave. Always passing the buck, after creating so much pain, world wide. How you all have always behaved.
I am Black Man from a foreign land, I have great respect for the Black Struggle. I know that the BPP started the lunch program in schools, however they never got any credit for it Huey P Newton. Bobby Seal, Eldridge Cleaver, Jamil Al- Amin, Assata Olugbala Shakur, Mutulu Shakur, Angela Davis, Mumia Abu Jamal, Malcolm X, Ali. All from the same cloth. Fantastic interview.
It is so heartbreaking what the American Government with Cointell Pro and the state with police along with the media did to the Black panthers and any socialist/marxist movements in this country ! Thankyou for posting !
Socialist Marxist Illuminati destroyed United States Of America before it was ever created! Read writings of Karl Marx and Engels. You been deceived again. Your embrace of Marxist ideals is source of your problems. The enemy is androgynous and eats its own tail. Wake up for real.
Excellent information, but the interviewer kept breaking the flow of conversation, deep thought, and history. Sad. But I'm delighted and glad that we have this preserved. Thank you.
A life well lived, that few of us have the courage to live. They need to do a movie on this guy. Thanks for posting this. I’ve only seen parts of this before.
What a wonderful interview full of amazing things about BPP. The Breakfast program is still in use today. Yet the fight continues on. Rest In Power ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 Huey P Newton
I can definatly see he has really deep strong southern accent I can hear in his voice so you can really tell without a doubt he's from the deep south looks like he's in his early to late 40's of this interview what a great mentor and revolutionary leader for the people of the african american descent and community RIP Huey Newton
I noticed that too. I’m sure his parents were fully raised southerners, so the presence was in the household. Can’t take out the southern spirit of em!
Huey should still be here man. They will never let strong black men lead the black race. But they urge the junkies/rappers n killers to do so through music. Which is the most powerful tool to reach the youth and shape the people smh
A very intelligent and articulate man, loved his country accent and tone of voice , he was what America is all about, standing up for your rights and God given Liberty
Rest In Power, Almighty. This interview reflects some good thinking by Newton, at least. However, we do not do trickery good enough to ever play that game. Brother lived the axiom, the truth will make you free.
Without doubt one of the greatest Black warriors for our people in history! Let us honour Dr Huey and take his astonishing legacy to new heights by Rising as One!🔥👊🏾🔥
He is one of the most intellectually well spoken men I’ve ever heard speak. I had heard a lot about him just being a black racist. But you can’t argue with someone that is the educated. I am really glad I saw this piece of history. What ever you think of his politics he is impressive 🙏
If he was alive and had a natural life span , he could have been the best governor this country had seen or even the president of America and he could be easily the best President America had seen . The reason being he cared for the well being of Americans .
