   The Black Power Mixtape examines the evolution of the Black Power Movement
   in the black community and Diaspora from 1967 to 1975. The film combines
   music, startling 16mm footage (lying undiscovered in the cellar of Swedish
   Television for 30 years), and contemporary audio interviews from leading
   African-American artists, activists, musicians and scholars.

8. Good documentary!

9. 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

10. +SelfControlX17 When you say the rich don’t care about the poor how exactly
    does that play itself out?

11. does anyone know the starting song or beat being played at the very start
    of the movie?

12. no it doesnt, blacks have fully integrated into american society in case
    your blind and havent noticed.

13. dice raw – time flies

14. You’re not “fully” integrated when you’re unemployment and incarceration
    rates are double and triple the next closest…same system..

15. 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.

16. What is the opening song?

17. what is the song that starts this video out ?

18. King was actually opposed to Rosa Parks: 05:10

19. wonderful luv my brother kwame ture.

20. 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.

21. What song plays at about 7:00? I have been looking for it for forever.

22. this has been one of my favorite docs of all time. thanks!

23. 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!

24. Merci Beaucoup.

25. 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

26. can only find first part of it.. ist there any more left? seems like it
    dissapeared on the world wide interweb.

27. what’s that song he starts singing at 12:30?

28. POWER TO THE PLEOPLE

29. dice raw – time flies

30. Thank you for uploading this!

31. All power to all the people!

32. 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.

33. 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.)

34. Thank you x

35. the black power movement needs to be brought back

36. Anbefales…

37. 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..
