Bobby Seale is an African-American political activist and co-founder and national chairman of the Black Panther Party.
Biography from Biography.com
Born in Texas in 1936, Bobby Seale is one of a generation of young African-American radicals who broke away from the usually nonviolent Civil Rights Movement to preach a doctrine of militant black empowerment, helping found the Black Panthers (later renamed the Black Panther Party) in 1966.
The Panthers focused much of their energies on community outreach, and the California movement spawned chapters across the nation. By 1968, Seale decided that a public account of the formation and history of the Panthers was needed, so he wrote Seize the Time: The Story of the Black Panther Party and Huey P. Newton (published in 1970). That same year, Seale was arrested while protesting at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. He and seven other defendants, thereafter known as the Chicago Seven, were tried for conspiracy to incite riots in a circus-like atmosphere that resulted in Seale being sentenced to four years in prison for contempt of court . Seale was also tried during this period for the murder of a fellow Panther suspected of being a police informant. The trial ended with a hung jury.
In the 1970s, as the Black Panthers faded from public view, Seale took on a quieter role, working toward improving social services in black neighborhoods and other causes.

Revolutionist endured. His words, 50 years later have given me strength to continue fighting.
Thank you, Brother Bobby Seale!
Those bastards...God have mercy. I'm so glad he's still with us.
A truly great and unique time in our history, can't begin to describe how I would enjoy a conversation with this Legendary Brother!!.
BLACK POWER!
BLACK POWER!
BLACK POWER!
He needs to be on the talk show circuits.
Seems like we've become dumb as hell. Listening to Malcolm and all the black men from the 50, 60, 70 sends shivers. They are extremely intelligent.
Not ALL of us... majority just got their minds hijacked by their oppressors. All these great men are apart of me completely. Prolly why they hate me so much too
"That Ain't No Secret !! "Don't make'm like those brother's anymore and if they are like that they "MURDER THEM!"😟😯
They were men who were trying to beat the system at it's own game,they had to educate themselves,not like nowadays everyone smoking K2 drinking cough syrup and this new "trap"culture that promotes more ignorance than what rap culture did in the 90s.
Being a revolutionary reorients your mind and changes your mindset. You reason. You think about the psychology and sociopathology of oppression. These guys were definitely intelligent
That's the way they want you
This was a real interview. I love how the interviewer let Bobby escape from that cell with the talk of food. I could tell Bobby loved to make that steak dish he described in detail. That's what a man needs if he's locked up a good meal and Bobby was able to make a meal right there in jail in his mind.
Read mr Anthony Ray Hinton's book "The Sun Does Shine"...
That beautiful soul was totally innocent, and because he was black and poor, he had to suffer 30 years on death row.
Happy birthday Anthony Ray Hinton June 1 🍧🎂☺️💐❇️🧡🌹
He escaped his bodily confinement with his mind also (the first 3 years he was silent).. and he told his body he was leaving. Marriage to a couple dazzling women, meeting Queen Elizabeth for tea, playing Wimbledon, and travel the world were his escapes. Strong soul, and seriously tolerant.
He got release with help of Bryan Stevenson... (Equal Justice Initiative).
THANK YOU JESUS.
Brother’s handsomeness and relentless spirit rings, even while they’re trying to devour it with those draconian prison conditions. To the Creator goes all the glory.
We have so much real black history to stand for, let’s not let our predecessors down any longer. May Peace Be Unto this brother, all the Black Panthers, all the Revolutionaries, Activist, and Leaders who know our Worth and demand nothing less, So Help Us God.
My Pops was fed breakfast as a Kid, Here in the Bay by Panthers .
Wow
reelblack, I just wanna say, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
Yes, thank you.
Thank you ....
I love this brother is so intelligent and he's one of our revolutionary
7 minutes in & I see why he made a cookbook on barbeque recipes. 🤣😏
The brother so deep, I feel like he is family and we talking at a cookout.
I know this interview did alot for Bobby's mental while he was locked up.
Big up to another good interviewer.
Powerful interview. Bobby is a profound man.
Listen to the passion he has describing how he would cook food...he was a definition of what a real black male role and position is in so called AMERICA!!!!!@
This guy is who I was looking for . He is giving me pride and motivation. Could you write below others who is just like him? I feel like I’m lost in life and I don’t have people to look up tol
Check out “Les Brown Live Your Dreams” on the channel. Not to everyone’s taste, but he will get you going if you are in the right frame of mind. Keep moving. Keep learning. You are meant to win.
@@reelblack Amen Mike. Both Les Brown and Dr. Dennis Kimbro.
Malcolm X and Dr. Jospeh A Bailey II
Read the book the message to the black man please
@@reelblack do you know what happens after the interview? Any repercussions? Positive outcomes?
makes me want to cry a little.
what beautiful eyes & hands. jeez.
That's exactly how my uncle cooks.
Yeah, I knew he had to be from the country. I'm going to cry, because my gmom raised us this way of eating. That's good eating😍😭
He looks and speaks like my uncle.RIP
He’s making me hungry...I’m going to cook that tomorrow
sounds good i'll be over!!!!
@@albertalves3693
Lol
Bobby was always my favorite PANTHER...Very handsome intellectual brother.🔥👁😎power2thepeople❗
This is mind-blowing
You gonna get a lot of hits sis now that the Black Panther doc is out.
And you right!
What's the name of the doc?
the voice of a leader! excellent
Read Soul On Ice a long time ago....but listening to this was awesome. I used to make cheddar cheese toast in the oven back as a kid with butter.
I felt every word !!!! For everything past present and future crime Eli have seen.
Gratitude Bobby!!!
This is a great interview, thanks! I was going really good and then it got cut off. I'm looking for the rest of the interview.
We Must Stand By Each Other as People !!!! And never let our brothers and sisters Go threw some of things and not Help Them
I can't take it.
video not long....but the food AND I AM HUNGRY!!!!
he was thinking about that food since day one , when you get out you get that good food before ANYTHING
Adorable.
I love how this whole interview his him talking about how he likes his food lol
Such a regular dude doing his part to help his people.
This is deep this bro. Enlighten me to the importance of food the things we take for granted 🤔🤔🤔
Listening to those articulated, smart, sensitive black leaders I realize how much the black community has lost in the last 50 years. Now young blacks can hardly put two sentences together...
Where the Sun was Strongest, and Black People were the oldest civilazation. I just think its interesting how we are originally growing out on our own through Gods Will. Bless Bobby Seale, he taught how to eat well. Thank you for your Food Programas and Medical Treatment to People Free. Thank you Sir you inspired me as a Boy and still as to this day. I hope to teach cooking to people and feed them and help people like Bobby Seale or Huey P.Newton and the Black Panthers and Brown Berets. God gave us what we need. This man is a philosopher. A genius in his own right. He started the Goverment WIC women and infant childrens Program.
Some would argue that it is government programs for unwed mothers that are the catalysts for fatherless homes. I agree with providing for hungry babies, but not on the terms of ousting the Black man from the home.
Yes They We're Concern N Not Afraid.
2024 I wanna cry….I just wanna cry. Our minds have deteriorated
I'm trippin over the hella good recipe he explained -- the "cube steaks" dish! I gotta replicate that.
✊🏿
Prison is death not life
And I pray I never find out.since my dad was a police officer. He took me down to the station and put me,in the old jail cell and I can to this day still hear that sucker closing and the noise it made.no THANKS I'll past on that 1.
Does anyone else find his voice to be incredibly soothing? Leftist ASMR honestly.
that is my grandfather interviewing booby seale !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So cool!
This is the American 🇺🇸 way!
This is what they want you to forget.
America been fucked.
I sho wish I had a man who could cook and enjoyed food and cooking.
Sho?
💪🙏👑👆👏👍💕
Bobby Seals the Goat that started breakfast programs for children in Chicago.Now it's called WIC program.2/27/21
margarine is gross, this dudes food talk is killing at work. now I'm starving.
Me too I 😊
✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Kings on Earth prophets
BOYO
Lol. "Prison Life"? He's shocked! He obviously expected a more sensible question! Using a black man to talk about jail! He didn't expect such low interview. An embarrassment! That is what this is. Still he endured it. Damn. We endure a lot. And it is not to our advantage
I’m so hungry man lol
First 15 minutes talking about pudding.
I'm taking cooking notes 😂 😂 😂 #delicious
#alwaysNamerikkka
Do you remember two white guys in north park wearing cutoff levi jackets ?
Food network 😋
He's making hungry
They're the 1 scared of the 🕳
They treated Boby was than a dog. And, tbey like to call themselves civilized.
he so player he had so much money sent because of his cold lmao
The hungry dinosaur tellingly wander because test optionally fence unlike a noisy carbon. sedate, tiresome john
The foolish wren thessaly trip because tail cranially cheer like a left cocktail. mysterious, defeated estimate
I remember when free breakfast didn't come from the State, nor did you get coats, shoes, gloves but when the Panthers gathered in the neighborhood you got all that, my brothers got their first pair of more expensive shoes from them they weren't cloth Converse they were real leather us kids were impressed. We need guys like this again serving the people, fighting for all.
On the money, we need these services again in our communities, everyone else does for their people, why don't we? Why? We have become co- dependent on this system.
onm
Now I'm convinced. He was the one that got the Panthers to serve the kids breakfast. Love it!
I didn't expect this interview to make me start drooling. Real man of the people
I read this comment before the video started. I was so confused. What on earth is that about, and what does it have to do with this video. Then the cube steak and black eye peas😂🤣😂I love good food, but this man right here, has got me by a mile. He knows that he is talking too much and he can't help himself and laughs at his own self. I like him.
I agree, he hooked that breakfast up for them kids. Hell he probably prepared the meal. But listening to how he cook his food, and the expression on his face as he's describing how he prepare his food, he's visualizing standing in the kitchen getting down on cooking some good food. Sounds like a really good brother along with Fred Hampton, they just came alone at the wrong time.
😂💯
@@junebugg1927 and plus the fact that he's isolated from everybody. Just to talk to someone...
Our spirits is the hardest thing to break . No matter what they do to us we seem to be resilient . We will rise and It will mean Hell for them , bet on it asé .
ase
When you know you're right they can't break you
I sincerely hope you're right; our biggest problem is that total lack of unity. My fear is that this along with population control via this Flu/ plandemic and experimental, physiologically, altering, so called vaccine may just wipe black people out.
We are Judah time is up
Superior beings on all levels... Prevention from participation is the only tool possible to level the playing fields, Facts!!
Thank God for The Black Panthers. Young and Committed! God bless all the Souls!
The ending was powerful, “they hate what they fear” (Bobby Seale)
This brotha is beautiful, his energy is brilliant 💯✊
Definitely back then! Sadly he changed
His book Seize the Time was the first political book I read as a teen.
@@ltsoul9751 He isn't like Angela Davis who's the only one I know that still teaches and talks. But he spoke about the so called New Black Panther Party and their bigotry towards whites and said they should read the chapter in his book Seize the Time page 68 or something called, why we are not racist...
@@MrYusha he's a fool and a traitor for that reason alone 😔 and so ignorant like the pawn wites 😂
@@ltsoul9751 show some respect for your elders #1 and #2 without Bobby Seale we wouldn't have ever had a Black Panther Party
How does this only have 77k views in 2yrs but a rap video will have millions in a few days. We need to open our minds to something different from time to time
I met him when I was in college. He and Fred Hampton were my favorites in the Panthers.
The American Storyteller the us gov did Brother Fred extremely dirty. i believe too many of our people dont know how treacherous & evil amerikkkan imperialism is. Past the surface.
Mumia Abu Jamal is still falsely in jail 30+ years now
Sam Woods and Mutulu Shakur...
Huey And Geronimo
Fred was a real one. Got caught up by those FBI ops tho. We aren't allowed to organize, infiltration from top down every time.
Imagine the FBI listening to this like ''He's speaking in some sort of code''
😂😂
😄
They was keenly aware of the white supremacist structure and how it worked against American Decendents of slaves.
@@asalafistudent not just Amerikan black people. US imperialism oppresses people all over the world. They were for an INTERNATIONAL proletariat revolution.
He IS speaking in code. Can you hear it?
Nothing but love for this brother . 🖤 Just loved hearing him talk and that cube steak meal sounds Gooood 😋 lol thanks for sharing .
Taylor Alliease Got a cousin who STILL *cooks* like that.
So easily amused! Sister you’re above 22 years old. Come on.. We’re going to step it up!
I met his son at a army base near Southern California we were both in the army together. Cool Brother splittin imagine of his dad looks wise minus the Afro and beard. Also kinda different personalities in some ways and similar in others. But real cool brother we got along very well ....✌🏿 and blessings to this king and his family.✊🏿
Im shock to hear his son was/is in the military. I would think his father would approve or i would figure he was raised not to even consider a decision. As an adult, i appreciate all this history soo much. So if im wrong, just educate me. 🙏🏾
@@tnk325i Lol educate you c'mon now; Different generation and different era for starters: Children don't always follow the philosophy or paths of their parents. Also the military provides access to training and resources that might not be available to everyone especially people defending a particular social cause. Finally it's probably a blessing that his son was able to go to the military and get access to those benefits. Although I'm not sure of how his tour went because we were in different units. Anywayz ✌🏿
I remember being in the hole, too... while waiting to be transferred... most law enforcement are ACTUALLY the ones that should be in there smh sad but true. Backwards world we livin in...
"To this Day!" - Deonte Wilder
Is he still alive
@@sheryldonnell6455 yes.he is .i.heard a talk on.utube he was at University Michigan Flint...tho they didn't have the decency to respect his request for lights...great lecture.
I'm reading his book "Seize the Time"..
Great...👏🏼📚🙏🏻🥛🍩
Masterpiece.
Good food is like peace, ya know. Just makes you feel like, just for a moment, all is right in that little corner of the world. Certainly a welcome refuge when combatting a racist society. So of course we put some of our soul into the food.
Bobby is still alive and kicking in 2021 .. Much Respect and admiration for this man .. Our younger generation need to listen and continue his work .. keep on fighting kids ... coz the struggle never ends .. Power to the People ✊🏾
23:45 #FACTS man, they still PIGS brother Bobby
They's some pig-eyes out there. When Chauvin ran up on George Floyd, the video shows Mr. Floyd looking in his eyes and right away saying you scaring me man. To see those pig eyes, may God protect us. May we see eye to eye. SAY THE NUMBER. $27 million. Black Lives Matter. May George Floyd family live like justice royalty because that man, an ordinary man, win some, lose some, was an ASSET to my family. The worldwide movement his death sparked means my sons are a little safer cause even pig cops can see the game is up, there's consequences. Thank you Bobby Seal, thank you George Floyd. Demons gonna demonize.
He literally gave us the ingredients and directions to make what sounds like a delicious meal! Thanks for your contributions to black history Bobby Seale. I look up to you and so grateful that you are alive and well! Blessings..
Jfc I hope he gave you more then that ..... This man needs more people told about him they have tried to erase the great voices they tried to break them he's a great mind I hope he gives you more then a recipe.....
The Bobby Seale cooking show! #Iconic
When you ask for a cig before talking about the hole.
I made my best version of this and it's delicious!!!
Boy did I enjoy hearing him talking through the process of preparing meals! 💕💕 God Love him!!
That discription of the food he liked to eat was making me damn hungry, ha, hahaha. I believe that he realized that a child's intellectual development begins with his stomach. Thus the food program that the Panthers instituted was a result of this realization.
I could relate to his choice of a refrigerator full of food rather than a Cadillac! 😎
@@tulayamalavenapi4028 Yes I can too because based on his ideology. When you have a full stomach you can accomplish many things. One of which is hypothetically and sometimes literally you can buy all the Cadillacs that you want. Where as on the hand with an empty stomach your mindset is primarily survival. That's why alot of criminals and entertainers and people of that ilk. Extravagantly lavish themselves with the best that life has to offer. Because they know what it means to have an empty stomach and now that they no longer have to face that challenge they go for the gusto so to speak. That's why so many of them end up broke and sometimes destitute because of a reckless and abandoned attitude where it comes to spending. That they can probably trace back to their macerated or at least lacking earlier instance.
The way he speaks soothes my soul. I visualize everything he’s speaking on✨✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
Thank you for keeping our history alive
Can you post videos that told the story of Blacks and the American West
If I can find something that’s public domain, absolutely.
reelblack 👌🏿
The cowboys in old Westerns in movies and on television were mostly always White. The truth is that most Cowboys from that era portrayed after the Civil War until the 1900s were Black and they created the culture.
Reading the paper and having breakfast isa good way to start the day and for young black children it’s chance to learn. Breakfast is like class. It makes the events of yesterday relevant. And a chance to make today better. And tomorrow greater.
man, i could sit & listen to him for hours on in...
He was so handsome. His dialect is dope! This injustice is still going on today in 2018! That is so sad but true!
Felicia Qawiyy
Very manly! Focused and brilliant.
Bobby or Huey
"Yes!!❗very handsome! And your right! Same shit!!❗ different day! Our Black brother's really been threw some mess! and still caching it!"😯😟" Dam! and he can Cook!!❗"😲😄😍😙
"OH! Queen just wanted to let you know it's 😢 sad! This is Feb/2020" 😟😯
2020
I always turn my nose up when people don’t use REAL BUTTER 🧈 come on now brother I’m with you on that ✊🏾
I tell my kids. Don't let me catch you making cakes with oil. Or margarine which is hard oil.
@@annagordon9171 oh my you tickled me with that one ☝️ yes if they do they might get in trouble and punished for a week lol!! #RealButter only
POWER BOBBY! ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
He reminds me soo much of our Dark Prince El Hajj Malik El Shabazz ☥ 🙏🏽 🕌
These guys were mentored by Malcolm X when he came to Los Angeles to speak agsinst police brutality, Google up Malcolm X fiery speech Los Angeles 1962.
Bobby Seals is my Brother
I appreciate black history.and this vedio to share with my grand children.when people cared about each other
@Georgia Davis, i still think people care, i just think everyone is just trying to survive. What needs to happen is to bring back the ideal of community.
mike askme that's extremely difficult to accomplish with so many ppl sucked into the depths of false values & consumption. More ppl concerned about what can you do for me & judgemental lifestyle. Instead of what can we accomplish together.
Georgia Davis VIDEO
STEVE MARCEL. Thank you for the help these errors do happen
Georgia Davis 😂😂😁😂no probleeme🤣
Every time I see this I have to stay strong and remember that when you I'm not treated like a human being are not given the opportunity to express yourself freely like a human being like all human beings do at the end of the day this is your plight this is where you might end up speaking up for yourself defending yourself being yourself they're close to two to three million black men and women locked up in the correctional penal system of our government some various crimes in Murder but when you are a political refugee of your own damn government that really takes the cake baby and when the members and leaders of other more violent radical groups will perpetrated their crimes walk around freak in our society never deceive the inside of criminal penile system crimes against humanity and terrorism I love coming back here to the archives listening to One Of The Originators the authentic Black Panther having an interview explaining to the world what it feels like not to be free in jail or not! to all our brothers and sisters of the movement where and still are political prisoners and refugees of the system of Injustice and no peace to where we shall all be free. I still raise my black fist into you all come home
SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT COOK !!!
50,60,and70s men were intelligent,you look at some of the men now and you wonder what happen.✊🏿
I agree. It’s sad. I tell me grandparents like, what happened to our morals as a people !?!? What happened?? 😢I’m a 24 year old and I about this all the time.
When the music changed so did a generation.
To be fair this man is a legit genius. look into his background
The man needs to bring his voice back especially NOW.....
I agree. I’ve been trying for three years.
black messiah and judas is what brought me here. its crazy how the assassinated all of your black heroes over there in the Us. As an african man myself i'm learning more and more about the truggles of my black brothas and its enraging. i dont konw how you survived this and continue too. I hope the souls of the ancestors who lived in harder times and were murdered, spit on, disrespected can rest in peace. I have a lot of love for you guys
he had a book out in the 80's .'Bar-b-q w/ Bobby Seale' something like that..he goes on about food more than an Italian.
LONG LIVE BOBBY SEALE !!!!!
Great interview🙏❤POWER TO THE PEOPLE
You got to have a strong mind, and a strong spirit to be able to endure something like that.
Magnificent Panthers PTTP!!
