Good documentary!
Just saw ‘The BlackPower Mixtape’ anyone really interested in modern
American culture needs to view this. It’s awesome to see and hear the
thinkers and doers that helped to create the head space I am able
participate in, organizing and fighting to create that very space. They
accomplished all of this while being surveilled by the FBI and having
various civil authorities harass and jail them.
Thanks in part to the Black Panthers I live in an America where I would
want to vote for a President at all and where , eventually, I would be able
to vote for a President of color.
Thanks and Peace
+SelfControlX17 When you say the rich don’t care about the poor how exactly
does that play itself out?
does anyone know the starting song or beat being played at the very start
of the movie?
no it doesnt, blacks have fully integrated into american society in case
your blind and havent noticed.
dice raw – time flies
You’re not “fully” integrated when you’re unemployment and incarceration
rates are double and triple the next closest…same system..
i understand what you are trying to say (and i agree), but the term “color
blindness” refers to the anti-racist ideal of not even noticing skin color
and just seeing each person as a human being.
What is the opening song?
what is the song that starts this video out ?
King was actually opposed to Rosa Parks: 05:10
wonderful luv my brother kwame ture.
Money speaks more than race nowadays. The rich don’t care about the poor
and so I think with so many people in America its more about who has the
most money more than race anyway. You have to find ways to outsmart or
out-perform everyone else; then you would never have to worry about feeling
repressed.
What song plays at about 7:00? I have been looking for it for forever.
this has been one of my favorite docs of all time. thanks!
unfortunately, i do not believe anyone who claims to be color blind
actually is, and i increasingly believe that racism (or more accurately,
tribalism) may be a horrible, destructive symptom of the imperfect, still
evolving human brain. that does not mean that we should embrace it OR claim
that it doesn’t exist, but that we should recognize it, reject it, and
constantly work to rid our minds of such tendencies. humanity depends on it!
Merci Beaucoup.
I must agree . by far one the best documentaries I,ve seen about the black
power movement and its significance to the human rights movement of black
people in America
can only find first part of it.. ist there any more left? seems like it
dissapeared on the world wide interweb.
what’s that song he starts singing at 12:30?
POWER TO THE PLEOPLE
dice raw – time flies
Thank you for uploading this!
All power to all the people!
Idk that dosent seem like my fault. If people supported businesses in their
own community rather than buy from walmart and other name brand companies
maybe there would be more jobs for you? I went to school with a equal
amount of blacks to whites and have worked with black people so I don’t see
any problems as long as we don’t try to fuck each other over at work. I
think it just depends on whether or not you show up to the interview like a
gangster or average person and don’t use any slang.
colorblindness is a system that persists oppression in African Americans.
The Swedish see all colors as citizens, but in America we keep some races
as second class citizens in many ways. (incarceration, culture, exclusion,
repression, discrimination, economic prison etc.)
Thank you x
the black power movement needs to be brought back
Anbefales…
If you have the time I suggest watching all 7 of these videos. It is also
on Netflix instant in full. Eye opening, and gives one a new perspective on
political/economic movements and human/civil rights. Cool blend of new and
old voices, well made movie and excellent insight on philosophical change
in society..
