Context is everything. I understand what the brother was saying about the BPP, but the clip came after Tupac's perspective, which makes it seem as if he agrees with Pac. Bobby and Huey were never a part of a gang. They were college students who formed a political organization at age 30 and 24. It was born of Black Nationalism, later coupled with Marxist theory. It attracted FORMER GANG members. You still had a Jim Crow South, a great migration, school bussing, to white schools, and Northern industrial cities where Blacks couldn't get jobs. There is a stark difference between Black Liberation Organizations and gangs.
@@timharris1675what Huey are you talking about? Drug induced (crack cocaine) Huey? Huey after the Party? Miss me with that bruh. Stop trying to change the narrative. The bottom line is the BLACK PANTHER PARTY FOR SELF-DEFENSE was never a gang. Read Seize the Time, by Bobby Seale; Revolutionary Suicide, by Huey; To Die for the People, by Huey; This side of Glory, by David Hilliard. You can even read Blue Rage by Tookie Williams and you still won't get your parallel of Huey running with Crips.
@@timharris1675 I'm uncertain if my response to you was deleted, but again, what Huey P. Newton are you talking about? Are you talking post BPP Huey P. Newton, addicted to drugs (crack cocaine)? Again, the BLACK PANTHER PARTY FOR SELF-DEFENSE was not a gang. Miss me with that bruh. Read Revolutionary Suicide, by Huey P. Newton; Seize the Time, by Bobby Seale; This Side of Glory, by David Hilliard; A Taste of Power, by Elaine Brown. You can even read Blue Rage by Crip co-founder Stanley "Tookie" Williams and there is no correlation. Stop trying to change the narrative to fit gangsterism into "gangs can be positive." Historically, there hasn't been one Black "gang" that benefited the Black community. If so, who was ushering their children into a gang for the community's benefit?
Im puerto rican born raised brooklyn and bronx in the 60s. im old school head. we are from the universal zulu nation chapters all around nyc and universal. We all use to follow zulu nation bam. Threw events rep the culture for years under Zulu nation and now outta nowhere we are not hip hop lol we been going hard 40 years for hip hop. Look up universal zulu after black spades.

@@TheCulture..Since1971 If!!!!!! Im being REALISTIC!! Plenty of people have said "stop the violence" ,yet the violence continues ! Wishful thinking hasn't changed anything.
Tribes=Family=Gangs=Politics=Government. It's all the same thing. A tribe, family, or gang can be negative if that's what they decide to do collectively. And a tribe, family, gang can be positive if that's why they all choose to do collectively. Democrats and Republicans be fake beefing
