It is not about his drug addiction it is about what he stood for as a Black Panther and all the good he did for our people of color. Let us focus on the good!!! Here this man is telling the story and all we want to do is focus on negative. People stop acting like you are so perfect and you, a friend or a family member, and our leaders, never made a mistake in life or fell to something that made you or them in your eyes to be lesser of a person. We have no idea what Dr. Newton was going through. Maybe if he would have lived he would have eventually became sober. Did you ever think about that!!! POWER TO THE PEOPLE R.I. P. DR. HUEY P. NEWTON, WITH RESPECT...
This is great, Just finshed reading his autobiography Revolitionary Suicode, I know it's selfish but I really wish he was still here, he was truly one of a kind, a very special man.
Read it in 1981... Great book! Also, keep in mind his name is Dr. Huey P. Newton.... The media call him Huey P. Newton to devalue him. He's a law school graduate and he had. PhD
Just finished it too. Dr. Newton went to the same University of California Santa Cruz where I was studying for some of the same years, but I'm just get to know him. Walk in the other's mocassins for at least a mile before judging them. That's my feeling about Dr. Huey Newton. 😓
He put the battery's in back of black man that made them leave there wives n children creating single mothers he did alot for the black community settin us back 30 40 years cuz there was black people who owned businesses in 50s 60s anybody from the black panther has done anything else besides food stamps creating a generation depending on food stamps wic
I think so too, I think he was the only who was literally mentally liberated and they destroy him, they destroy the whole and that's what they did. I watched the documentary and how they turned them against each other.
I get it ..it's sad I was mad about his addiction then I listen to most all his interviews ECT..alot of stress and fear and ungreatfulnessn..you must rem alot of them unlike Huey had no education ..self taught ..those that did educate themselves had little experience against the force they tried to come against ..sad but heroic at the same time .I have a whole different view and a much greater respect for the black panther way before me ..lol history has so much to try to read understand retain ..this topic is so critical for us .we take soooo much for granted know when we can't afford to..
A man of danger. His intentions were honorable but he ended sick, to the point of abuse. Look it up.He was extremely violent in his last years. Truly tragic.
My intellectual hero🙌🏽 Oh, how I wish Dr. Newton was alive today in 2020. We, as a nation, desperately need his guidance, brilliance, passion, and expertise.
Huey would die just under three months later. His widow, Fredrika, says that he was sober in the last months. She also believes Huey had a premonition of sorts and knew that he was going to die soon. Fredrika described him as being the calmest she'd ever seen him in all their years of knowing each other. Huey started giving away personal items to family and friends at this time. He even told Fredrika that it'd be wise for her to try to get an insurance policy on him. Apparently, Huey had been in talks with filmmakers to do a biographical account of his life, and things were looking like they would go through. But on August 21st, they received a call that the deal fell through. Fredrika said Huey was devastated. He was supposed to pick up her son from day camp and return home so he and Fredrika could talk out their next plan. They were pisspoor. Huey was never rolling in it in the first place. He didn't pay for the penthouse nor the home he called his "treehouse." He had help. Ultimately, he never picked up his stepson from day camp, and by dawn the next day, Fredrika got word from Highland that Huey was dead. Fredrika also believed that he was bipolar, and admits she wishes he'd gotten committed. Some lady he used to date lived around the corner or so from where he was killed, and she says he stopped by her home a few hours before and said Huey kept saying, "I'm battling, I'm in a battle." She said he knew something would happen to him. It's unfortunate. He went through so much, and in turn, put loved ones through so much. I think underneath it all, Huey was a beautiful person, compassionate. He wanted to be nothing more than himself in a world and time that didn't allow him to do that. He was expected to lead the People, the Party. I hope he's found peace. I love you, Brother.
Venus! You must have read “Spirit of the Panther” by David Hilliard. I’ve read it 3 times! It has touched me in so many ways. My someday wish is to meet his Wife! She is a strong phenomenal woman I’ve always looked up to!
I appreciate this piece of information. He probably was bipolar. He's looking wild about the eyes in this clip. I first saw this back in 1991, I believe.
@@glittersilver7779 I've read the critical books regarding Huey and the BPP, including the ones he wrote himself. I'm still trying to hunt down his poetry book from '75 lol. I think anyone interested in learning about him or who have BS assumptions of who Huey was needs to read 'Spirit of the Panther' especially. I think he needs a miniseries based on the Hilliard book. It was so good! I finished it in three days and read it again afterward LOL. I love how they showed official documentation and transcripts of how much the law, locally and higher up, were against him. Naturally, I was pleased to learn the things I felt Huey to be as a regular person was confirmed by Fredrika. It's hard to explain but if you pay attention to him in interviews, etc, you can see it in his eyes. The intensity, sensitivity, the knowledge. I adore Fredrika and would love to meet her, too. Watching her in interviews, too, you can tell she's super sweet. I really wish Huey was still with us. He died so young and unfairly. It bothers me very much that after 31 years, people still don't know just how important he was AS A PERSON, in addition to being on the frontlines of the Black Liberation Movement: the original BLM. I wrote about Huey in two published pieces and made a video out of one poem, as his death anniversary was just last Saturday. Do you follow Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation? Fredrika's president, David and Elaine Brown are a part of it, too. I'm not sure about Kathleen Cleaver or Erica Huggins. I don't think they hold board seats, but Fredrika's son, Kieron is a board member, too. They're on Instagram and LinkedIn. It's been around since '93, and are in the process of funding a museum in Oakland dedicated to Huey and the Panthers. Also, there's supposed to be a bust of Huey they design, too, in the city. I can't wait until they complete those projects.
@@Pllm30 Lol I presume you're referring to the moments his eyes widened. In truth, Huey had intense eyes, almost piercing. It is what it is. They say he could 'read' people; meaning, he'd look strangers in the face and tell them private things about themselves. Things either only they or someone very close to them would know. One of his bodyguards said he used to do that often. Huey felt anyone could do it, but it took concentration and energy. He was also somewhat of a hypnotist lol. One of his brothers taught him when he was younger, having come out of the military. Even before I learned those things about him, I got the idea that there was so much behind Huey's eyes. Such vulnerability, profoundness, fearlessness, wisdom, truth, and humaness wrapped up in them.
Venus Se7en thank you so very much for sharing this invaluable insight into the lives of this beautiful soul that was Huey P Newton. My spirit does not take to Elaine Brown she seems so egotistical and megalomaniac. David Hilliard smells like a sell out. I feel so sorry for Huey running an organisation that was run down by the very people he set up to uplift. Why didn’t Panthers try to help him clean himself up from drugs, drink and whatever else. Rest in Peace Huey P Newton your are truly missed.
Now that we know how they sought to ruin this man's public character never should we look at him and be reminded of his short comings. He literally changed the world, helping spearhead a better one through.
What? A coked out goofball communist slurring his words , who actually works for the FBI , speaking a bunch of nonsense meant to get certain people elected and others arrested?
Watched a lot of his older footage. Saw the thumbnail to this and was like "Is that really Huey?". Watched the video and yep, unmistakable voice and rhythm.
Rex Richardson There is a thing called character assassination and they did and do this with every black leader and with many members of this organization that was beneficial to the black community. I do not for one second believe that he was going to buy drugs and died over a drug transaction...He was AGAINST drugs!!
Thanks for this clip. Seeing Huey Newyon Newton speak is contradictory: He seems mild mannered and intelligent but on the streets he was a man that many were scared of, I am from Oakland, my father was a teenager hanging around Huey and other Panthers . Huey always had two guns on him one was a Machine gun and he would fight at the drop of a hat .
Blindianswirl Two I was reading the story on Bobby steel and they said heuy would fight anybody. he never was looking for trouble he just never back down.
abijahaj32 That is true but Huey was a target of some vicious bullies that got a surprise. Huey was light skinned and was fully black but looked mixed, in the black community people like that get tested a lot . Huey could fight real good and would knock some of the guys testing him unconscious, they respected him after he did that a few times.
Blindianswirl Two They more likely was jealous of his good looks. Many blacks grew up hating their complexions and features that they were born with. When they see another black person of a different complexion and features, they take their anger out on him. They often blame society too, but I'd say they need to blame to two people who got together and created their ugly asses.
He was a good man that genuinely cared for his people. I have a lot of respect for him and I think everyone could learn a lot from him. Yes he had his fault but so do we all.
huey was a stand up brother. a hero. i thank the most high for his existence. Ecclesiasticus 7:7 - surely oppression (heavily burdened, mentally / physically, by troubles, adverse conditions, anxiety, etc.) sends a wise man into madness and a bribe corrupts the heart.
Huey had a unique dialect. Very Southern. He was born in Monroe, Louisiana; but I think he left there when he was 3 for Oakland, so he shouldn't have the slight Louisiana twang.
mike green u can if u are raised around people that were raised themselves in that enviroment his parents.I believe like people fresh from a foreign country has a strong accient the child may grow in a certain school or state environment but sometimes it the parents that affect the child more their way of speaking, thinking etc.
@@Auntkekebaby exactly, Ronald Reagan started being leery of poor people getting educated. The inflation in education costs started in California (like many things, good and bad).
By the time this interview was conducted, Huey had completed his formal studies, and earned a PhD in social philosophy at University of California at Santa Cruz in 1980.
If this was done in 1989, this was the year that Dr. Newton was killed. He didn’t look like he was under the influence of anything. He looked just like he did on that talk show. In fact he sounds right on point.
Right.., it's sad.😓 With all the torture he was subjected too, it's soooo possible the media has spun & twisted his murder report as well. Just sayin. Read "Revolutionary Suicide"... Read it or hear the audiobook on Utube. 😓🎤😓
I need a platform desperately to try and keep up, continued and refine what Huey P and the OG’s had already set up. But I don’t know how to get into this, it’s proven to be very difficult. I’ll keep trying, though✊🏾it’s a necessary cause working towards a worthwhile effect.
Nah, Huey was on Drugs... Bobby Seale even stated that Newton started doing Cocaine after his release in 1970 and at one point was trying to take over the drug trade in Oakland. He was strong arming drug dealers in West Oakland for crack in the 80's and was subsequently killed by a drug dealer in 1989. I don't think Seale had any reason to lie on Newton.
C.L. Taylor yes Huey was on drugs, but the day he got killed wasn’t because he was getting drugs to take them, he was trying to “take over the underbelly of politics” as Bobby stated. Huey wanted to stop the drug dealers pimps etc. while I don’t doubt he was doing drugs I’m sure if his intentions were to rob purely to take the drugs he would have had a gun on him. Plus crack is cheap.
Dam he was killed less then 3 months after this video. Says May 23, 1989. Salute to the great Huey. I couldn't find the full video but found the transcript to this. It's deep he talks about getting into Malcom X and using some of the things there were doing that was similar to there Ten Point Program.
@@proudafricanamerican7586 i found full transcripts here it is digital.wustl.edu/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=eop;cc=eop;rgn=main;view=text;idno=new5427.0458.119
He was on drugs big time. You can clearly see that here. The man looks like a deer in headlights here. What is wrong with you ppl? Are you sleep at the wheel? Wake up? Recognize when someone is on drugs so that they can get help. Stop being in denial!
@@Pllm30 He's showing nothing that he was on crack in 89. Shit came through like a hurricane. If he was bad I was made to believe he wouldn't be in these interviews at that point.
@@kurvana88 Sleep at the wheel. He was heavily into drugs. He was doing drugs when he was in the Black Panther movement. Read Elaine's book, Huey had a lot of demons. I appreciate what he originally tried to do starting off by helping the community, but their vigilante justice mindset and infighting wasn't going to work. Even Eldridge Cleaver left Huey alone.
@@Pllm30 I can only base it off of seeing crackheads all around my block. He may have been on drugs, I don't know but he wasn't on no crack bro. Not in that time living in belly of it.
Yeah no one wants to talk about how when it became known that he had linked up with Tupac Shakur and mentoring that's when he got hit. Seven years later Tupac got hit just as he was looking to get right. It was not by accident that Pac got caught walking the halls of Death Row and he errantly trusted a dark knight and sneaky snoop.
In January 1977, Jim Jones, leader of The Peoples Temple of the Disciples of Christ (commonly shorted to the Peoples Temple), visited Huey Newton in Havana, Cuba.[47] After Jones fled to "Jonestown," a commune he established in Guyana for his followers, Newton spoke to Temple members in Jonestown via telephone expressing support for Jones during one of the Temple's earliest "White Nights".[48] Newton's cousin, Stanley Clayton, was one of the few residents of Jonestown to escape the area before the 1978 mass suicide of 900 Temple members by Jones and his fanatics through forced suicide.[48]
He was using when he got out of jail in early 70s. I seriously feel something major happened to him during those FREE HUEY trials being locked up in solidary confinement. He was never the same after that. Legend has it he got one of the WARD BROTHERS killed to take over their drug ring in oakland.
Lol yes he clinches his jaws..his eyes are blood shot ..but that is a personal matter nothing to do with what he did and stood for until the end it had drastic consequences...I'm sure it was no accident his introduction to the drug ..safely I'm sure by one of the same people he faught for ..that bothers me more than him becoming an addict and destroying alot of his image he so hard worked on ..he wasn't stupid ..well educated both school and self research did he skip the drug section ..and read that although it may have given him the umph he needed to talk in crowds ..I don't know if you all know that was something that he feared and caused him anxieties..even though he did it so well he was a very shy person and drawn ..he just masked it with drugs ..along with other issues he had ..he so feared his death and being killed by the police or one of his own .as I said I totally get it know but at the same time I don't ..kinda of exactly what he did getting on a drug he knew would destroy him ..it's not like he didn't see others abuse it and the after math of the use of it .yet he felt so I need of that crutch or excape..he went right for it .we all have that one little vulnerable imperfection that can be the demise of us we are unaware we have it due to our prides so anywho just sad..but I still view him as super strong.. powerful.. smart.. and an intellect, just flawed as we all are.
all the REAL panther followers know that Huey was a changed man after jail. The CIA drugged him brainwashed him. He got out and turned from a revolutionary activist to a crack addict. The panthers were killed (like all groups) from the inside out - Sell outs from the members themselves - paid off to bring in drugs - temptation etc. This fantastic group of real revolution turned into a bunch of crack addicts. Dont believe me? Go and talk to the actual ppl and do your research and see for yourself.
On the night of April 6, 1968, Bobby was killed by Oakland Police officers after Eldridge Cleaver led him and twelve other Panthers in an ambush of the Oakland Police, during which two officers were seriously wounded by multiple gunshot wounds. The impetus for the police ambush was the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. on April 4.[4] The ambush, which Cleaver admitted he led,[5] turned into a shoot-out between the Panthers and the Oakland police at a house in West Oakland.
I'M KKOFFEE MARIE BROWN THIS MY BABY RT HERE. I FEEL LIKE PPL SHOULD MIND THEY DAMN BUSINESS OF WHAT SOMEBODY DOES ON THEIR PERSONAL TIME. LOOK WHAT THE HELL THEY WENT THROUGH AND STILL GOING THROUGH. I WAS BROUGHT INTO THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY FAMILY THROUGH MY MOM'S MARRIAGE INTO THE SEALS FAMILY
Ummm no. Not with that culture vulture. Not someone of his caliber in the African American movement past be damned. Only someone with more prestige and understanding of what this man endured. Might as well say he could interview Pac next, no. If you need someone less formal than Don Lemon than Sway at least the intro would be dope.
I find hard to believe that someone like Huey after getting so conscious about what the struggle was about, could' ve fallen for drugs unles he was trying to teach us something.
You mean to tell me that's all you got out of listening to Huey speak. No man is perfect. All the good he did for our people and if he was on drugs it still outweighs anything you have ever done in your lifetime.
You no what get me, people at like he should of been a man without sin, when every man we read about in the Bible that God made great all of them had sin, Paul, Peter, the list goes on think people, be proud of our people for there mind not they flesh, if so the Bible, Quran, should only be about one man, who even Jesus didn't understand what God what doing at the end, remember him saying why, that Word why
Why does he speak that way? Like his jaw is wired shut like Tammy. Strange person. I wish I could see him as a little kid. I believe parents and birth order and classmates makes us who are, because there is injustice and poverty everywhere but only some people end up this way.
We new people who would stand up for community protection now, to help with the problem in our neighborhoods and on the streets of our cities across local and state lines. The police brutality and killings of black people are getting out of hand. Who do we call to protect us from trigger happy police officers, we know it’s not all cops but who want to risk their lives to find out they came across a bad trigger happy police who would rather just shoot and kill. Than to take brother or sister to jail alive. We are losing lives right here in a country that is supposed to be a land of opportunity and just for all, but we people of color is not included. Our encounter with the police 98% of the time is a one way trip to the cemetery.
It is not about his drug addiction it is about what he stood for as a Black Panther and all the good he did for our people of color. Let us focus on the good!!! Here this man is telling the story and all we want to do is focus on negative. People stop acting like you are so perfect and you, a friend or a family member, and our leaders, never made a mistake in life or fell to something that made you or them in your eyes to be lesser of a person.

Probably contributed to the drugs

They often blame society too, but I'd say they need to blame to two people who got together and created their ugly asses.
He was a good man that genuinely cared for his people. I have a lot of respect for him and I think everyone could learn a lot from him. Yes he had his fault but so do we all.
We need the black panther resurrected now more than ever
Thank you 🙏🏾 and thankful for UA-cam ❤️
R.I.P CHAMP!
#LegendsNeverDie!!!
huey was a stand up brother. a hero. i thank the most high for his existence. Ecclesiasticus 7:7 - surely oppression (heavily burdened, mentally / physically, by troubles, adverse conditions, anxiety, etc.) sends a wise man into madness and a bribe corrupts the heart.
A quick Internet search of his many crimes would show you that he was not a man of God.
don’t do that
your kind is worse
Rip.. The honorable Dr. Huey P. Newton
The party was for protection not fear.
A brilliant man with immense good will who was intensely targeted and transformed in the process.
Rest easy Father King you are not forgotten
The panthers were incredible. Huey had a lot of charisma and is still an icon of politics. He was the Che Guevara of the United States.
REST IN POWER 2 THE LEGENDARY HUEY NEWTON!!! LLHUEYTHEKING🕊
Amazing man
Victoria Kabeya
Totally agree
At the beginning.
Those guys are legends.
A man of respect ✊🏾
Oakland Thanks You King👑
Power To The People! ✊🏾
I would love to see the entire interview.
Huey had a unique dialect. Very Southern. He was born in Monroe, Louisiana; but I think he left there when he was 3 for Oakland, so he shouldn't have the slight Louisiana twang.
It could be something he picked up from his parents and older siblings who spent more time there, thus who's accents were strong.
mike green u can if u are raised around people that were raised themselves in that enviroment his parents.I believe like people fresh from a foreign country has a strong accient the child may grow in a certain school or state environment but sometimes it the parents that affect the child more their way of speaking, thinking etc.
The mother's influence gave him that twang.
Everyone in Oakland at the time were from the south
He actually left Louisiana when he was one, but yeah, his southern accent was still pretty strong
Dr.Huey P Newton Amerukahn Icon!
Extremely intelligent. Obtained a PhD when it was affordable.
Probably why it is no longer affordable.
@@Auntkekebaby exactly, Ronald Reagan started being leery of poor people getting educated. The inflation in education costs started in California (like many things, good and bad).
Huey P. Newton was a great man
I love this man
Uniquely Shellbs
Smart young lady ✊🏿
Great clip!
An amazing man. Proud to walk in his footsteps. We share a deep love of black people.
long live Huey p Newton
Much Love God Bless your soul brother Love you Rest in Heaven Huey 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✨🎇💫💫💎💎💎💎
Being outspoken back then was so dangerous. You knew you'd end up dying by the hands of your own country
By the time this interview was conducted, Huey had completed his formal studies, and earned a PhD in social philosophy at University of California at Santa Cruz in 1980.
Does anyone know where the hell I can find eyes on the prize 2? Can’t even stream it on PBS like you can with the first season.
If this was done in 1989, this was the year that Dr. Newton was killed. He didn’t look like he was under the influence of anything. He looked just like he did on that talk show. In fact he sounds right on point.
Right.., it's sad.😓
With all the torture he was subjected too, it's soooo possible the media has spun & twisted his murder report as well.
Just sayin.
Read "Revolutionary Suicide"... Read it or hear the audiobook on Utube.
😓🎤😓
thanks yea it is possible.
Its amazing to know alot of those man were young boys with mines like that,these younstas today full grown wit minds of 12 year olds
I need a platform desperately to try and keep up, continued and refine what Huey P and the OG’s had already set up. But I don’t know how to get into this, it’s proven to be very difficult. I’ll keep trying, though✊🏾it’s a necessary cause working towards a worthwhile effect.
Just start, that’s what they did. There’s never been a more connected generation. Just saying… good luck
@@cqordarohunt it’s a pretty disconnected connection. Social media is the most distant the world has ever been.
THANK YOU
Respect on all levels my brutha!
Power to the people 💪
All power to the people
Rip big homie
He was a true hero.
R.I.P.
Very smart man , speaks well and doesn't fit the profile of someone on drugs to me
Nah, Huey was on Drugs... Bobby Seale even stated that Newton started doing Cocaine after his release in 1970 and at one point was trying to take over the drug trade in Oakland. He was strong arming drug dealers in West Oakland for crack in the 80's and was subsequently killed by a drug dealer in 1989. I don't think Seale had any reason to lie on Newton.
It's True! He was robbing drug dealers and was a hopeless addict. Still functioning more effectively than most people who are sober. A Dr. after all.
Mimi Lockhart propaganda don’t believe everything
C.L. Taylor yes Huey was on drugs, but the day he got killed wasn’t because he was getting drugs to take them, he was trying to “take over the underbelly of politics” as Bobby stated. Huey wanted to stop the drug dealers pimps etc. while I don’t doubt he was doing drugs I’m sure if his intentions were to rob purely to take the drugs he would have had a gun on him. Plus crack is cheap.
C.L. Taylor Do you have some sources about when Huey started to use drug? Can’t find anything about...
Where can the whole thing be found? All i can find is a text transcript
May God have him in his Glory.
RIP Huey !!!!!!
Power to the People
Yes Huey was a man not hiding running around with a sheet on his head. He was black and proud and bold R I. P Huey
He is clearly an intellectual. RIP.
Dam he was killed less then 3 months after this video. Says May 23, 1989. Salute to the great Huey.
I couldn't find the full video but found the transcript to this. It's deep he talks about getting into Malcom X and using some of the things there were doing that was similar to there Ten Point Program.
He and Malcolm were two completely different people in the end: One lived a life of crime, and the other actually became a new man.
Could drop the link? Id like to read it
Me too.. can you share that transcript?
@@proudafricanamerican7586 i found full transcripts here it is digital.wustl.edu/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=eop;cc=eop;rgn=main;view=text;idno=new5427.0458.119
- "And all good men like Malcolm X and Bobby Hutton died for nothing"
I don’t believe he was on crack 🙄 they trying to destroy this man name and image
He was on drugs big time. You can clearly see that here. The man looks like a deer in headlights here. What is wrong with you ppl? Are you sleep at the wheel? Wake up? Recognize when someone is on drugs so that they can get help. Stop being in denial!
@@Pllm30 you people??
@@Pllm30 He's showing nothing that he was on crack in 89. Shit came through like a hurricane. If he was bad I was made to believe he wouldn't be in these interviews at that point.
@@kurvana88 Sleep at the wheel. He was heavily into drugs. He was doing drugs when he was in the Black Panther movement. Read Elaine's book, Huey had a lot of demons. I appreciate what he originally tried to do starting off by helping the community, but their vigilante justice mindset and infighting wasn't going to work. Even Eldridge Cleaver left Huey alone.
@@Pllm30 I can only base it off of seeing crackheads all around my block. He may have been on drugs, I don't know but he wasn't on no crack bro. Not in that time living in belly of it.
huey.percy newton..the torches have been past
✊🏾
Yeah no one wants to talk about how when it became known that he had linked up with Tupac Shakur and mentoring that's when he got hit. Seven years later Tupac got hit just as he was looking to get right. It was not by accident that Pac got caught walking the halls of Death Row and he errantly trusted a dark knight and sneaky snoop.
I would've went crazy with all that death around me. The government waged a psychological war on huey
He doesn't look like a crackhead to me
he definitely looks and sounds like he was on some sort of uppers. so, yes, might not be crack, but definitely coke or meth
@@CoolGobyFish i don't know about that because he always talked like this, he has a southern accent
@@KangKush He was from Louisiana lol.
That's because he was sober at the end of his life. His bouts were off and on.
@@VENUS.SE7EN Louisiana is a southern state....
killed by the government not by drugs👑✊✊✊
In January 1977, Jim Jones, leader of The Peoples Temple of the Disciples of Christ (commonly shorted to the Peoples Temple), visited Huey Newton in Havana, Cuba.[47] After Jones fled to "Jonestown," a commune he established in Guyana for his followers, Newton spoke to Temple members in Jonestown via telephone expressing support for Jones during one of the Temple's earliest "White Nights".[48] Newton's cousin, Stanley Clayton, was one of the few residents of Jonestown to escape the area before the 1978 mass suicide of 900 Temple members by Jones and his fanatics through forced suicide.[48]
MrRebuttal You're white.
MrRebuttal Mr. White Butthole.
Was he really on drugs? When i watch him now he really doesn’t seems at all... also when did he start to use drug?
Driuns I agree with you remember the power control the media - remember the cops was on the scene within minutes; in the ghetto that’s never happen
He was using when he got out of jail in early 70s. I seriously feel something major happened to him during those FREE HUEY trials being locked up in solidary confinement. He was never the same after that. Legend has it he got one of the WARD BROTHERS killed to take over their drug ring in oakland.
Lol yes he clinches his jaws..his eyes are blood shot ..but that is a personal matter nothing to do with what he did and stood for until the end it had drastic consequences...I'm sure it was no accident his introduction to the drug ..safely I'm sure by one of the same people he faught for ..that bothers me more than him becoming an addict and destroying alot of his image he so hard worked on ..he wasn't stupid ..well educated both school and self research did he skip the drug section ..and read that although it may have given him the umph he needed to talk in crowds ..I don't know if you all know that was something that he feared and caused him anxieties..even though he did it so well he was a very shy person and drawn ..he just masked it with drugs ..along with other issues he had ..he so feared his death and being killed by the police or one of his own .as I said I totally get it know but at the same time I don't ..kinda of exactly what he did getting on a drug he knew would destroy him ..it's not like he didn't see others abuse it and the after math of the use of it .yet he felt so I need of that crutch or excape..he went right for it .we all have that one little vulnerable imperfection that can be the demise of us we are unaware we have it due to our prides so anywho just sad..but I still view him as super strong.. powerful.. smart.. and an intellect, just flawed as we all are.
He was under the influence as he spoke then.
all the REAL panther followers know that Huey was a changed man after jail. The CIA drugged him brainwashed him. He got out and turned from a revolutionary activist to a crack addict. The panthers were killed (like all groups) from the inside out - Sell outs from the members themselves - paid off to bring in drugs - temptation etc. This fantastic group of real revolution turned into a bunch of crack addicts. Dont believe me? Go and talk to the actual ppl and do your research and see for yourself.
On the night of April 6, 1968, Bobby was killed by Oakland Police officers after Eldridge Cleaver led him and twelve other Panthers in an ambush of the Oakland Police, during which two officers were seriously wounded by multiple gunshot wounds. The impetus for the police ambush was the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. on April 4.[4] The ambush, which Cleaver admitted he led,[5] turned into a shoot-out between the Panthers and the Oakland police at a house in West Oakland.
They didnt play
Eldridge Cleaver was an FBI informant and agent provacetuer , that’s why they let him out of jail in the first place
Only difference between now and then is now we have no leaders willing to die for change back then we did.
He never should have brought Cleaver in. Big mistake.
if he was white they would say
we’d rather not remember how he died but how he lived
we goin do the same for huey all day
Problem now no one is willing to die for freedom back then it was a no brainer of a risk.
I'M KKOFFEE MARIE BROWN THIS MY BABY RT HERE. I FEEL LIKE PPL SHOULD MIND THEY DAMN BUSINESS OF WHAT SOMEBODY DOES ON THEIR PERSONAL TIME. LOOK WHAT THE HELL THEY WENT THROUGH AND STILL GOING THROUGH. I WAS BROUGHT INTO THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY FAMILY THROUGH MY MOM'S MARRIAGE INTO THE SEALS FAMILY
Wouldve been cool if he was alive today doing an interview with VLADTV
Ummm no. Not with that culture vulture. Not someone of his caliber in the African American movement past be damned. Only someone with more prestige and understanding of what this man endured. Might as well say he could interview Pac next, no. If you need someone less formal than Don Lemon than Sway at least the intro would be dope.
STILL GETTING HIGH AFTER ALL THESE YEARS. HEY EVERYBODY! I FOUND A WAY TO MAKE MONEY! FOLLOW ME! HAHAHA! 😂🤣😃
I find hard to believe that someone like Huey after getting so conscious about what the struggle was about, could' ve fallen for drugs unles he was trying to teach us something.
You mean to tell me that's all you got out of listening to Huey speak. No man is perfect. All the good he did for our people and if he was on drugs it still outweighs anything you have ever done in your lifetime.
all the evil people will answer for it when they leave this earth 4ever. karma is undefeated
Roger g smith wouldve made a good actor for his bio
He did a one man play about him
Our government is full of it !
You no what get me, people at like he should of been a man without sin, when every man we read about in the Bible that God made great all of them had sin, Paul, Peter, the list goes on think people, be proud of our people for there mind not they flesh, if so the Bible, Quran, should only be about one man, who even Jesus didn't understand what God what doing at the end, remember him saying why, that
Word why
Who was he a boxer?
Why does he speak that way? Like his jaw is wired shut like Tammy. Strange person. I wish I could see him as a little kid. I believe parents and birth order and classmates makes us who are, because there is injustice and poverty everywhere but only some people end up this way.
they say he was on drug around this time ..was I true he was on drugs
The next revolution will be the last before the messiah comes back
he is high as hell look at his eyes and the way he speaks
Mm
Very ironic but I'm pretty sure Hueys funeral service was in that same suit and tie
stop Making stupid ass comments about Huey P Newton ok He had a drug addiction none of Us are Perfect!
We new people who would stand up for community protection now, to help with the problem in our neighborhoods and on the streets of our cities across local and state lines. The police brutality and killings of black people are getting out of hand. Who do we call to protect us from trigger happy police officers, we know it’s not all cops but who want to risk their lives to find out they came across a bad trigger happy police who would rather just shoot and kill. Than to take brother or sister to jail alive. We are losing lives right here in a country that is supposed to be a land of opportunity and just for all, but we people of color is not included. Our encounter with the police 98% of the time is a one way trip to the cemetery.
I
And yo mammys too bitch
@@maryaustin3936 they pussys um riding though
he kinda looks like oj Simpson lol
I was thinkin the same thing. It's like in his later years he reallly did resemble dude.
Yes handsome
I can’t believe there’s people out here who refuse to believe Huey was a drug addict
-haitiansDoItBetteR 😇
Don’t think so!!
Y'all did it 1st but not better. Haiti got some leadership problems.
The eyes are dead and evil.
You're evil and delusional.
@@ayedicko6452 He died a drug addict over a drug dispute. Who's the delusional one defending a demon's zombie?
