Guns, berets and leather jackets are what many folks typically associate with the Black Panther Party. But the Black Panthers were instrumental in bringing healthcare to neglected communities. The reason you may not know about it? A covert government program tried to bury it.

COINTELPRO, or “Counter-Intelligence Program,” was a propaganda and surveillance operation that the FBI used to target activists, political groups and minorities. Of the 290 operations carried out by COINTELPRO, the Panthers were targets of 245. The program was designed not only to ruin the Panthers' image, but also to cripple them financially and keep them from carrying out their social program.

The book "Black against Empire" is pretty good while you should look up Bobby Seale on RU-vid. The Kochs had him kicked out of universities because it's dangerous to learn what Seale knows. His work on anthropology as well as becoming an international inspiration that even helped free Vietnam vets in the war is pretty dangerous amirite?

@luvitluvitbaby 5 лет назад

White Ice Tv black supremacists who unified with whites and all races? Hmmm...if they were black supremacists the government would not have considered them much of threat because 12.5% of the population or less can’t overthrow the rest. The fact that they were racially open to all ethnicities who stood with them in solidarity is what made them truly dangerous in the eyes of government officials.

The BP can teach the Black Church a lot about how to more effectively serve their communities. We, at Historic First Church, will model some of our new ministries after the BP Survival Programs. Would love to hear from Bobby Seale as we need his voice in these times.

I had to leave in horrible pain and couldn't sleep because of it for days now then they canceled my appointment for prescription then me my bf and my mom plus the sickle cell association had to fight to get it and now the hospital it trying to say sorry and shit but this stuff hasn't happened just 1 time! No this is the 4 time and they killed so many people close to me and all this makes me feel hopeless because I'm not like that and I wish I could stop taking these meds and be normal but I can't and this was a day ago!

If the people all have the same insurance then the health care systems would no choice but to have agreeable prices because most of their money would be coming from a government just like most subsized programmes

@Jyagos1 6 лет назад

Private charities? The hell are you smoking? Privatization is what screws you over. The Black Panthers were about community organizing and funding. If you want to see what privatization does, look no further than Detroit and what Betsy Devos did to public education by privatizing it. Also, you "boo single healthcare" but the majority of Americans like Medicare for all instead of just seniors.

@Jyagos1 6 лет назад

"Managed competition insurance" would still be controlled by private interests against public health. Most people are familiar with Medicare and government run healthcare works best for other countries so why not here? The UK has the NHS. Rwonda has government run health care. Australia tried the multisystem you just alluded to and are going back to government run healthcare. And the US has the same system for the military. It's called "Tri-care" and it's military government run healthcare.
