  4. im from Oakland my father was a panther in his teens. This video is erie,
    this actor sounds exactly like Huey and has his mannerisms.

  5. Im a white teenager who supports the black race more than the white, I’m
    disgusted to have been a part of a race which caused so much racial
    oppression. At the same time Im proud to have Huey P. Newton as my
    idol/hero. Its really a damn shame. I wish more than anything to be able to
    join the panther organization, but I will stand out as a white teenager
    supporting the black race. Keep fighting the good fight! BLACK POWER, RISE
    AGAINST THE OPPRESSION!

  8. did huey ever give this interview in real life? i dont think so and if he
    did can some point me in the right direction so i can see it because this
    dude is getttin on my nerves and maybe its because he the same dude that
    worked for the FBI in the movie panther

  13. dude kinda sound like huey but huey dont talk like that they way this dude
    is talkin is annoying 

  15. This a solo play written and (masterfully) preformed by Roger Guenveur
    Smith , Spike Lee adapted the performance to the screen. It is an envision
    of an alternate history where Huey P Newton is still alive.

  16. Huey P. Newton was and is a hero. He should be remembered for what he
    started: The Black Panther because if it was not for him and his friend
    starting it, black kids would not be able to eat breakfast in their
    schools, black people would not be proud to where Afros, etc The
    assumptions that Huey P.Newton was just a “gangster” is simply not true.
    Huey P. Newton should be mention with Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.
    He was a gangster because he fought back? he fought for what he believed
    in? #Panther

  17. A great performance but the actor looks like a white guy with curly hair
    and a little bit of a tan! Same when he appeared in American Gangster.

  22. Powerful!!! Every time I watch his story I learn more. Makes me wish I had
    lived back then…

  29. Where is the entire sound track for this? I cannot find it anywhere. I love
    this sound as he begins to read his poetry. SO SWEET !!

  31. Hoover did not want the BPP educating the children. To instill values that
    stresses the importance of education, community involvement and productive
    activism in children is a direct threat to society as Hoover and company
    were used to.

  33. It is a shame that Newton died a free man. The racist scoundrel should have
    rotten in prison or killed by the police. Newton the murderer got it way
    too easy.

  34. We are caught in the horns of several historical dilemmas; do we as Black
    people want to continue to operate within the system that
    exploits/oppresses us, if we do not; then by what method to we change it?
    Does revolution necessitate violence in and of itself or can there be a
    non-violent revolution?

  35. LETS GET THIS RIGHT: ANY WHITE UP AND COMING ACTOR STARRING IN A MOVIE OF
    THIS CALIBRE WOULD BE SHOT INSTANTLY TO SUPERSTARDOM. AS FOR THE MOVIE
    ITSELF, WITH ALL ITS INTRICATE, SUBTLE AND ORIGINAL DETAIL IT IS A
    MASTERPIECE IN ITS OWN RIGHT.

  37. the part on little black sambo was very eye opening, not only to America,
    but to us as individuals. Never let anyone oppress you in any way! By any
    means, know and protect your true identity.

  41. We have just witnessed what a plantation can do to a man. Huey in a box
    with no way out to enjoy the sun nor moonlight; the lack of a human touch
    is maddening. It is the elite’s way of trying to break one’s being.

  43. Revolution is the tip of the spear that leads to the reform and measures to
    change the system (or leads the butt of the spear inside). We need both
    revolution and work to change the repressive system. We need to revive the
    black panther party!!
