Huey p. newton celebrity black panthers11/18/2023 ![]() We have been taught that we must please our oppressors, that we are only 10% of the population and therefore we must confine our tactics to categories calculated not to disturb the sleep of our tormentors. We have been brainwashed to believe that we are powerless and that there is nothing we can do for ourselves to bring about a speedy liberation for our people. Penned up in the ghettos of America, surrounded by his factories and all the physical components of his economic system, we have been made into “the wretched of the earth,” who are relegated to the position of spectators while the white racists run their international con game on the suffering peoples. We are the driving shaft we are in such a strategic position in this machinery that, once we become dislocated, the functioning of the remainder of the machinery breaks down. Without this oil the machinery cannot function. The slavery of blacks in this country provides the oil for the machinery of war that America uses to enslave the peoples of the world. It is militarily impossible to do both these things at once. America cannot stand to fight every black country in the world and fight a civil war at the same time. Black people can destroy the machinery that’s enslaving the world. But black people can make a malfunction of this machine from within. As long as the wheels of the imperialistic war machine are turning there is no country that can defeat this monster of the west. The black people in America are the only people who can free the world, loosen the yoke of colonialism and destroy the war machine. They have carried their madness to the four corners of the earth, and now there is universal rebellion against their continue rule and power. One such form of protection was the Declaration of Independence which states, “…whenever any government becomes destructive to these ends it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundations on such principles and organizing its powers in such forms as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.” Now these same colonized white people, these ex-slaves, robbers and thieves, have denied the colonized black man the right to even speak of abolishing this oppressive system which the white colonized American created. At this time he made certain laws insuring his protection from external and internal aggressions from governments and agencies. The colonized American felt he had no choice but to raise the gun in defense of the welfare of the colonized people. At that time, the English government felt that the colonized Americans had no right to establish laws to promote the general welfare of the people living here in America. The English government had certain laws and rules that the colonized Americans viewed as not in their best interests but as a colonized people. This is one of the basic human rights of all men.īefore 1776, white people were colonized by the English. It is the duty of the poor to write and construct rules and laws that are in their better interest. These officials are blind to the fact that people should not respect rules that are not serving them. Much of the time the laws and rules which officials attempt to inflict upon poor people are non-functional in relation to the status of the poor in society. The man is greater than the rules or laws that he constructs. Rules should serve men and not men serve rules. In other words, in order to promote the general welfare of society rules and laws are established by men. Rules of society are set up by people so that they will be able to function in a harmonious way. Laws and rules have always been made to serve people. Public Domain: Marxist Internet Archive 2021.
