Losing Huey!...
Yesterday marked the anniversary of the death of Huey P. Newton...He was one of the boldest Black men of his time!...Hands down!....His revolutionary imagination engendered the Black Panther Party as we now know it!...
His death and the manner of his death krushed the hearts and heads of those of u who will always love him...The manner of his death should instruct us that even our hugest heroes are human and when they are in the throes of illness, they are just as vulnerable to the consequences of whatever illness that is consuming them...
Addiction is an illness, an ugly, stubborn illness that robs us of our will and judgment like nothing else...No matter how bold brave and strong we once were...once upon a time before falling victim to it...Addiction is also an illness that is absolutely a consequence of our oppression!...We must expose and resist it at its systematic sources without compromise or equivacation!...
We are fighting not just to save the lives and souls of black folk...And we absolutely are...We are fighting to change the whole thing!...
We are fighting to save humanity!...
Long live Huey P Newton...who should us how to stand up like no other!...Forgive his fall and his faults...
We stand on his shoulders!
We carry on the Tradition...
Cubs! To the Front!...
