Black Panther Party Says No One ‘Would Have Gotten Touched’ If They Were Present In Minneapolis Amid ICE Protests

Black Panther Party members, known in the Philadelphia area, were seen at the ICE protest with military-style weapons in hand.

Black Panther Party Says No One ‘Would Have Gotten Touched’ If They Were Present In Minneapolis Amid ICE Protests

... Members of the Black Panther Party were seen at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protest in Philadelphia following the tragic death of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, saying “if we were there, not a single person would have gotten touched,” The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. The group, which identifies as part of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, is an entity of the 1960s militant Black power group founded by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale. Members showed up to the Jan. 8 anti-ICE protest at Philadelphia City Hall, with military-style weapons in hand, in response to the violence dished out by the Trump administration.

I TOLD YOU THEY WOULD BE BACK.

I really thought it would be escalating tensions after George Floyd that had the BPP back around,

Black Panthers are out protecting communities from ICE thugs

ICE thugs are terrorising people in the streets of the US - and it's the Black Panthers who are resisting Trump's fascist footsoldiers

YOU'VE FUCKED UP WHEN YOU'VE GOT ORGANIZED GROUPS COMING TOGETHER TO PROTECT THEIR COMMUNITY

The more I learn about the Civil Rights Movement [Post Malcolm, post MLK] in the late 60s through mid 80s the more shocking it is to me that we call it the 'Civil Rights Movement.'

Black Civil Rights Groups were in it for the Revolution. The BLA was robbing armored cars to finance a war. The Black Panthers were uniting the gangs and the New Left and preparing for something big. The Panthers were training and arming people across the country, all while practicing exactly what they preached by providing free food and healthcare to the people. The United States was assassinating, imprisoning, and crippling black communists. There were revolts in all the major cities.

We've had our first attempt at communist revolution and everybody [White People] pretends that it just didn't happen.

We were so close to waking up. Everyone on the ground saw that the people are capable of providing for themselves. We can provide our own healthcare, we can feed the hungry, we can end police oppression.

The Black Panthers showed us that we could. And they suffered for it. But hey, at least we're back to try again.

"Nothing can stop the movement of thought. Nothing. It may be five years later or a hundred years later, but it always reasserts itself based on conditions." -Phil Ochs, US American socialist folk singer and journalist, on the state of the left post-1968.

Everyone get more Phil Ochspilled NOW !! He has been one of my biggest inspirations for a very long time.
