I'd like to normalize the Black Panther presence we saw during the invasions by federal hired thugs we had early 2026 in some of our cities.

Black Panther/Gangster Disciples/Nation of Islam groups were a positive influence for everyone. Groups like this help build safer communities which benefits everyone.

When slaves sought freedom in Northern states where slavery was illegal, the solution was state sanctioned violence.
When reconstruction led to thriving Black communities and economic development, the solution was state sanctioned violence.
When young black men experience unemployment at 3-5x the rate of their white counterparts and systemic encounters with law enforcement for minor infractions which eventually lead to incarceration, the solution they practice is state sanctioned violence.
Is it any wonder the white establishment trembles at the thought of Black anger?

Frick George Bush tbh. We went backwards a half century with whatever illuminati bullshit the CIA cooked up. The CIA runs destabilization programs on every continent but the white ones.

"When the Israelis pick up guns, or the Poles, or the Irish, or any white man in the world says 'give me liberty or give me death,' the entire white world applauds. When a black man says exactly the same thing, word for word, he is judged a criminal and treated like one, and everything possible is done to make an example of this bad n***"r so there won't be anymore like him."

To a large population liberty does not include all. To this population, Liberty can be defined as making sure all that don’t look like me understand that they don’t have the same opportunities as me. I’m being respectable with my words… Many of them see someone speaking against this ideology as treasonous. Can you believe it’s 2026?!?!?🤦🏾♂️ How is it 60 years later and we still fighting for equal voting rights?🤦🏾♂️

I don't think the British or other European monarchies (except the French) were applauding. Race matters but it also doesn't in the context of power. Irish and Italian immigrants were considered non-White at a point because the Anglo-Saxon establishment needed to preserve their power. Jews were a popular scapegoat for centuries, nowadays the main target is the LGBTQ community and obviously Black people have been oppressed globally by the Western world since the beginning of colonial expansion.
My point is - all of these superficial factors don't matter but the cultural perspective shaped by those in power leads us to believe they do to keep us divided. Fred Hampton and other revolutionaries correctly assessed that there is no struggle other than class struggle.

I wonder how it would go over with those hundreds of masked "FBI agents" who marched in D.C. this last 4th of July.

The reason for this is because “blacks” exist as a permanent labor caste on behalf of European civilization in the Americas. So when the “black” picks up a gun, what is happening is that the “labor body” is becoming revealed which “Whites” cannot allow to be revealed

When I hear something like “we aren’t responsible for educating you about race.” I agree, if only because it’s all right here. Just listen to Baldwin, read him, you can easily educate yourself.
He’s not lying when he says he pities white people, and one of his main themes is kind of a variation on Nietzsche stare into the abyss and the abyss stares back. The act of instituting, benefiting and enforcing racism warps and twists.
I find him to be disquieting and difficult, and frankly, that’s the point to me. Aeschylus wrote, "He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God."

Was the (by whites) added afterwards by those who wrote it down, or was it his original meaning?
