Short video of former Black Panther chair Elaine Brown on Cointelpro, the Crips and Bloods, and more...(first posted on 8/9/10)
"Nevertheless, after listening to Elaine speak on this video, I can tell you, confidently, that she is the exact same honest, knowledgeable, energetic, and no-nonsense but warm person now that she was 40 years ago when I first met her."
Dear friends,
This video features one of my old Panther comrades. Her name is Elaine Brown. While she was a West Coast Panther, she came through New Haven, CT., during Bobby Seale’s trial, a couple of times, when I was stationed there.
Nevertheless, after listening to Elaine speak on this video, I can tell you, confidently, that she is the exact same honest, knowledgeable, energetic, and no-nonsense but warm person now that she was 40 years ago when I first met her.
Additionally, while I remember her as a very slightly-built woman back then, she had a beautiful and incredibly powerful voice, and was a heck of a piano player – and songwriter.
In any case, on the link below, Elaine talks about, not just some Black Panther Party history, but she also gets into how gangs like the Crips and Bloods evolved and why they have taken different courses than the ones that they had initially professed to be taking. Of course, as Elaine points out, the “market” is responsible for this turn of events.
Moreover, that’s why it’s so important that we, as parents and other elders, take the reins of our present culture and provide our youth with both an historical and social conscience, and set the example for young people, by informing identity through recognition of the connection between generations and defining human life in a meaningful way (as opposed to basing who they are upon silly claims regarding with whom they are allegedly having sex, or what "gang colors" they're wearing). That way, our society will benefit from the "leadership" of our youth. As well, the "market" will then be a function of the values of the society and not vice versa, as it now stands.
All power to the People!!!

A video of former Black Panther leader Elaine Brown on being "free"
"...another short video of Elaine Brown doing her life's work as a genuine, consistent, decades-long freedom fighter."
Dear friends,
On the link below is another short video of Elaine Brown doing her life's work as a genuine, consistent, decades-long freedom fighter. While I've not seen her in over 40 years, to me, she will always remain my comrade.
Enjoy!

Male Supremacy rules - in Nigeria/Africa too
"Why are males, of all ages, so insecure that they need to get their self-worth at the expense of females, of all ages?"
Dear friends,
On the link below is a 25 minutes-long video about human trafficking in the nation that has the world's largest Black population, Nigeria (Brazil is 2nd, the US is 3rd). The real problem, even more so than White Supremacy, is: Male Supremacy. It fosters both economic, physical, and emotional violence against females, literally, every second, of every minute, of every day. Moreover, it is a far bigger issue than " The Economy", Nuclear war, or Global warming.
Let's stop it! Why are males, of all ages, so insecure that they need to get their self-worth at the expense of females, of all ages?

Will Climate Change lead Lower-middle class Women into prostitution?
"Climate change will lead poor women to opt for "sex work, transactional sex, and early marriage" warns a resolution proposed last week in Congress."
Dear friends,
There is hardly enough data, empirically or otherwise, for responsible scientists to draw some of the conclusions that the useless mainstream government- and corporate-controlled mainstream media are constantly presenting.
The article on the link below begins, "Climate change will lead poor women to opt for "sex work, transactional sex, and early marriage" warns a resolution proposed last week in Congress." Do men get into sex work and sexual transactions, especially when times are hard?
And why not talk about Male Supremacy and how in the United States, for example, no woman has yet to be POTUS, even though that has happened and is happening in some of the other countries in the world? The best country in the world. God's country. Right. And while some Democrats grandstand about more women being involved in decision-making, Barack Obama, in spite of promises and rap, still has very few women in his cabinet.
Finally, at least to me, the problem should be solved at its origin/root. Recognition of how climate change will be extra destructive to females calls for an end to the systematic oppression and exploitation of all females, Male Supremacy, euphemistically called Sexism For it provides males access to the most of everything, even though, most often, women carry the burden of rearing humankind's children. And all of this is specifically based on gender. Now, let's watch and listen to what these corrupt federal politicians mentioned above do about that.
One Love!
