The Black Panther Party Summary

Tomi Lahren is someone who sets an example to many woman and young children, who want to be Barbie like and she has an amazing profession. Some people have the ability to look past her ignorance; I refuse to look past her erroneous comments. My mother always taught me to ask questions, because a dumb question is only a question that is not asked. Lahren has an abundance of dumb questions; obviously, she has not done any research or asked any questions about the Black Lives Matter movement and the Black Panther Party. There has to be some line drawn, where we prevent people like Lahren from white washing our history. Lahren, who no one has heard of before earned her platform by spreading incorrect facts about our people, and we allowed her

I believe the only mistake the Black Panthers made was allowing any and every one to join without screening them or questioning their intentions. This allowed many people to join the party, but many of their actions strayed away from the main focus of the party. The Black Panthers sole purpose was to police the police, not kill them. There was no intention to kill innocent police officers; the intention was to make sure they were doing their job. The Black Panthers did not force African descendants to hate the police, the wrong doings of the police caused the community to hate them. It is sad that society and people like Lahren look at people who commit mass shootings as mentally sick, but look at liberators and revolutionaries as terrorist. The Black Panthers created countless numbers of programs to help the community. The KKK was a hatred group, who killed African descendants due to the color of their skin. There was no enrichment in this group, nor was there any community

Amazingly, we have people in our class who feel the same. I liked when Fred Hampton said, “They can jail a revolutionary, but they cannot jail the revolution. They can kill a revolutionary, but they cannot kill the revolution.” That lets us know that revolution is alive and well, we just have to ignite it. We have the ability to start a revolution and liberate ourselves, but we have to learn and teach our history. We cannot move forward, if so many people are complacent in the position that we stand. When we stop equating white with right, black with danger, and pro black with anti-white, we can make necessary changes. We will never be free if one of us is still enslaved. We have to stop believing that enslavement is just physical. So many African descendants believe they are free, but are still enslaved mentally and physically. The Black Panthers were united, and they believed in each other; we have to do the same. We have been oppressed so long we see it as a normality. Closed mouths do not get fed and quiet voices do not get heard. We will never get what we deserve if we do not request it, and we will never receive what we are entitled to if we believe we do not deserve it. It is time for us to stop feeling comfortable in a society that is unjust and cruel to our people. We deserve more and we need to demand
