2. This is amazing. Worth listening to the whole video.

Some of the things discussed.

Black Panthers and how they were formed to keep the peace and how they changed because of violence from the KKK and whites.

Looting. [The white man] looted our people from Africa, he brought us here then looted land from the Indians.

Confederate Flags are everywhere.

White man in Vietnam to put beaucoup bucks in their pockets.

They talk about different leaders back home:
MLK, Julian Bond, Dick Gregory, Bobby Kennedy, Nelson Rockefeller & John Lindsay, Lyndon Johnson, Shirley Chisholm (Brooklyn), Nixon.

Rich people don’t pay taxes, we pay their taxes - in regard to Rockefeller.

Kent State is mentioned.

America is trying to weaponize Vietnam, make them capitalists, killers, oppressors.

What did we achieve in Vietnam? We haven’t achieved in Vietnam, We’re doing a whole lot for Coca Cola, they are doing really well in Vietnam.

There is so much more that is pertinent to today.
