  • We interviewed Richard Aoki in 2008 as part of our documentary "Merritt College: Home of the Black Panthers". In light of recent allegations that he was an informant for the FBI, we are presenting the entire interview, to provide insight into this complicated man.

    This guy is a total informant. I don’t care about what the others say. He uses his words careful. He made some mistakes as I have watched all 3 parts so far. The disrespect he has for the Black Panther leaders and the constant laughing are key signals.

      @@rowekmr Yes. He was quite explicit about how he supplied guns to the Black Panthers. He just left out the part where he was a FBI informant.
      What I find interesting is that his case handler revealed, while his informant was still alive, that he was working for the FBI.
      That strikes me as a gross violation of protocol. He could have been putting his life in danger.

      ​@@drmodestoesqthe F.B.I. said the same thing about Civil Rights photographer, Ernest Withers, but what was actually fact just the FBI agent's word. The F.B.I.'s job was to divide and conquer. J. Edgar Hoover hated black Americans and did everything he could to sow division...we see that with the situations with Malcolm X, Fred Hampton and MLK. Where is the evidence and have the F.B.I. released the files on Aoki? I know that the government was sued for these files release.

    A few keys to freedom are:DONT TRUST ANYONE;Make your struggle YOUR STRUGGLE .It’s too easy already to be infiltrated by people who look like you so one doesn’t need the added chaos of having to monitor anutha brother who may be the “other mans” man.Or make them do the pig killings...ijs;carry out strikes without a leader.focus energy on the fed/UN level and any concessions will trickle down instead of suing a local police force.if you do these things and a few more and always have freedom and independence in kind,even if the devil sees this post,they will come to the table when they know that the peaceful marches have gone the way of the dinosaurs and every black person wants freedom,irregardless of economic status or political party affiliation.

      He led a pretty interesting life guessing for the post ppl can learn from, but those were his boys n crew from school n they came to him cus of his military knowledge n having a whole bunch of gats to arm the Panthers with. Maybe he organically was part of the group who founded the Panthers instead of just being planted in which would be hard cus tight crews only deal with trust n day ones, makes him more about it frfr then jus fake agent planted knowing he has fbi back up if anything, prolly got approached after when he already helped put together the group n somehow got him to turn snitch but who knws exactly, if it's really documented that he's a rat. Shitty how the fbi have a way mess ppl life's n legacy up, end of day interesting life to learn from but can't have that legacy of real one or legend as soon as u turn
