Let us get rid of all forms of racism and our false illusions of superiority. People are dying now. All of us should get involved and have the courage of our convictions.

    "Elaine killed Betty...She's crazy." -Black Panther Chairman Huey P. Newton, regarding the torture, rape and murder of bookkeeper Betty Van Patter (probably at Huey's command). Elaine set up the LA chapter along with FBI/LAPD, She was a psych case and that's the only reason she was at UCLA at the time. Most legitimate Panthers where jailed or killed long ago.

    From an early age, Elaine Brown had a series of adolescent and young-adult love affairs with black and Jewish middle- and upper-class men. In 1965 she left Philadelphia for Los Angeles, where she worked as a cocktail waitress. While there, she met Jay Kennedy, a social activist and a member of the American Comunist Party. Kennedy's radical views were influential in leading Brown towards the Black Power Movement and the Black Panther Party founded in 1966 by Huey P. Newton.

    In her 1992 autobiography A Taste for Power, Brown's proclivity for violence is given voice by such statements such as, "It is a sensuous thing to know that at one's will an enemy can be struck down."
    During her tenure as leader of the Panthers, Brown was implicated (although never charged) in the murder of Betty Van Patter, a bookkeeper who had been hired to straighten out the ledgers of the Oakland Community Learning Center, a school funded and staffed by Panther members and affiliates.

    Dear Sista-have two comments flowing from your powerful lecture/presentation, after extending my thanks and gratitude for everything you said, and the way you said what you said! In respect to your comments on what is reputed to be the 1963 March On Washington. Based on my studies, there was a Blackman who was the President of the AFL-CIO, at the time the largest service union in the United States, was responsible for the enormous amount of support from working folks who viewed King's human rights demonstrations right in line with the labor unions fight for higher wages, and other necessary benefits for Blacks, and all other Americans. The last comment, again on the late Dr. King is the due airing of just why he was so insistent on going very far, after being warned away, to defend the rights of the endangered Black garbage men: a number of Black protesting garbage men had been murdered, crushed to death in the inside of the back of garbage trucks in a most unspeakable manner. And, in retrospect, I offer that there could have been a much greater number of Blacks at that March if not for the National Baptist Convention's ideological animus towards Dr. King, and his civil disobedience support. Reparations tomorrow, and will very tardy. We as a people of all ethnic groups should support the efforts of Cong. Conyers, Randall Robinson, you, me, and many others, and learn from the striving of CARICOM, the union of Caribbean countries championing the reparations demands. Much respect for your long-term commitments to our people's safety, empowerment, and happinesses. OneLove

Being black in america is a social condition/status as American descendants of slavery ADOS are held at the bottom of the hierarchy. Being black in America means you are apart of a bottom caste defined by poverty and honestly slavery. ADOS got the reparations conversation 2020 here , reparations doesn't have to be the end goal, but we do need it at least to hold us over until complete transformation

    There was a man named Saul Alinsky. He was a mid century communist organizer that taught how to devolve an argument rather than debate it. Since debating communism is self defeating. His rule? "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counteract ridicule." Notice! He said ALMOST! And you can see people right here, defending socialism, using his rule. If you want to understand what is happening? You have to understand the Saul Alinsky and Obama connect. It's all there.

    While the Panthers were being investigated for this murder, which according to Newton was ordered by Elaine Brown, Brown ran for the office of the Oakland City Council and garnered 44 percent of the vote. She ingratiated herself with California's then-Governor Jerry Brown (no relation) and was appointed as a Democratic Party delegate. She used this influence to her advantage in awarding choice contracts to her allies.

It's completely different to walk up to someone and say," Give me a hundred bucks or I'll make your life a living hell." And for those that don't seem to understand that? You have a lot more problems than needing or wanting that hundred dollars. And in the end all you learn is to just keep demanding more and more. with nothing ever having any real value to you.

    As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who had studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too, so they studied little.
    The second test average was a D!
    No one was happy.
    When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.
    The scores never increased, as bickering,
    bl ame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings, and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.

    The answer? More borowed money. At our present interest rates for that money. It would closely resemble a mortgage. Mostly interest for the first third, then slightly less the next third. And then finally, after 30-50 years the debt would be paid. That means that no principle would be accrued over the first 10-15 years. Leaving the next successive 5 generations paying the bill. Thus moving the burden of paying to those future people who aren't even born yet. Making it the crime of this century!

    For instance: I taught automotive mechanical engineering and wrote instruction manuals. I have an opinion that my ford is one of the best cars I've ever owned. But that opinion had no place when discussing or teaching the various engine designs. Generally a piston is a piston, no matter who makes it. They all work the same way. Although designs vary. So the teaching is based on factual materials. Especially if your writing tech manuals. Once you leave the arena OF TRUTH, everyone loses.

    I haven't watched the video yet but I've read the comments. We must make reparations to victims in order to lift them up from their suffering. I find most people to be extremely withholding. They all come up with excuses to justify why they won't give. Giving and helping brings the most happiness and would bring about a beautiful world. Otherwise, we are doomed to be miserable.

Poor educations, no work histories, give a shit attitudes, and demanding 20 per hour to start. Or it wasn't worth going off welfare to them. Again! WTF! And then she says," Like I would prefer to have 300 dollars a month on welfare than 30 million from reparations. That's what I want!" The whole thing in a nutshell!

    @101orson101 ok. I get it and concede she is contradictory. All I am saying is that she lived thru a time when folk were after her and to get a sense of her historically is a good thing. It is good you are critiquing her analysis. I am sure you understand her well, my contention is that she deserves more respect. Reparations does not indicate a lust for money but for justice. Again, I defer to your knowledge of her but I find that too often we dismiss those who lived the history. RESPECT

    hysterical; Seems like a wise position to me. My point all along has been that anyone who is moved to action not of their own volition, but as a responce to singular input from a singular stanger of dubious origin, and even more dubious intent, is a fool. All personal opinion, right or wrong, defends one idea, while contrary to others. But the opinion does not defend reality. Only truth does that. And yet real truth is the hardest of all for some to accept, never mind believe in. Free will !!

    Very interesting perspective, but from the viewpoint of a Continental European immigrant quite myopic. She discusses only the United States, which is her full right of course. But in doing so she forgets the many analogies that do exist with the social status and the social development of other regions such as Europe. The social fights there were all different, depending on the situation and the country: true, in the 19th century slavery didn't exist in Europe itself (although it did in the colonies, and the serfs in Russia weren't much better off than slaves in the new world), but the social inequality wasn't much different than in the southern US.
    Too many of these analogies exist. The one I remember was about Jefferson raping his slave girl (Sally Hemings? she didn't mention the name). Substantially the same thing happened with the slaves in sold by e.g., the Tatars to the Turks, for the harems of the powerful. And, I suspect that young, female indentured servants imported from Europe may also have had to share their master's bed, like it or not.
    The unique part in the US is indeed the race question, the original sin of declaring black people to be sub-human. Something similar is often tried in wars, in WWII with the Jews and de Poles and the Japanese among others, but that didn't last enough to stick. With the blacks in the US it did. Fortunately, it looks like that may disappear in a few generations by mixing of the races. I won't be around to see it, but I'm optimistic that such a uniquely American race will end up to be wonderful.

    and you know she is saying those exams do not determine if you are ready for university. yes it is still used as a measurement by the authorities, but it doesn't determine that you are fit for university. I've met people who made a 32 or higher on their ACTs and they dropped out their first semester. black people are focussed on education. please understand the dialogue

    I've tried to make my position on this speech, and the speaker, as clear as i could. But what I have failed to discuss is the rationale of it. Rational is the hoped for kcontent of a person. Rationale is the reason they use to defend opinions. Rationalization is the extended use of ratioanale beyond all reason. Rationalizing is the methodology that makes seeming facts support only one side of a debate or argument. It is a well used tool to explain a belief or opinion, trying to gain agreement.

    Concerning the payment of fees in US-universities! I'm from a european country & I studied at one of the best public german universities, & I had to pay fees. It wasn't much, but one had to pay, alright! There is no such thing as studying for free in Europe.
    But the fees are incomparably lower than in the U.S., or in Britain! Interestingly, private universities - besides few exceptions - are not well regarded over here. On the contrary: private universities are considered to be dubious!
    Concerning the issue of reparations: how much would the total amount be? By the way: the taxes we pay in Europe are incomparably higher, than those paid in the U.S.! Raise the taxes in the U.S. & You'll get universities for (nearly) free!

      +Rotebuehl1 I'm white.... 6'5'' 315 lbs w/ Blonde hair & Blue eyes & I 100% agree w/ reparations.... However, I would like to see Slavery, Reconstruction, Jim Crow & the Civil Rights movement as mandatory curriculum in U.S. schools.... I am a teacher & the vast majority of whites know nothing about these parts of American History.... & don't think for a second that the omission of these historical facts are not a part of the now 400 hundred year old commitment by the rich, white aristocrat class to keep poor whites & blacks constantly separated.... We live in a time where we can EASILY trace the genealogy of EVERY American adult..... We should trace Every single person's ancestry (government can handle this) & all people who have descendants from the rich white planter class that owned slaves must forfeit 75% of their family assets (if they have any) & that money should be distributed as reparations to descendants of slaves.... Pre-Cotton North America (pre-United States) when poor white & black bondsman work together & mingled socially... In fact race was never an issue until rich American Planters made it one.... In post Reconstruction populist political party again nearly brought poor whites & people of color together but once again the wealthy white power structure thwarted those efforts.... Once again we are at a time when we can come together as a class group & education is the key.... to destroy the mass incarceration Neo-Jim Crow caste system.... on & on it goes, but the one thing that never changes is that while we fight each other for scraps these permanently wealthy aristocratic families just keep rolling on & over us.....

      I find it more disgusting that whites don't know that the Ottoman Empire was taking millions of European slaves during the exact same time America was.
      Also, since your so hell bent on Americans knowing the truth.
      How about you tell them that only a very small percentage of Americans owned slaves, and of that small group, there were many indians and blacks who were slave owners.
      It's WAY past time we teach kids the TRUTH about the past, I agree. :)
