        you’re aware white people call black people communists just for existing in America, right? thats not a 4 letter word in the black community like it is for white americans.

            how about just a single communist lyric in his entire career, just one time ever… in his whole life… once

              uh

              "I see no changes, wake up in the morning and I ask myself Is life worth livin’? Should I blast myself? I’m tired of bein’ poor and, even worse, I’m black My stomach hurts so I’m lookin’ for a purse to snatch Cops give a damn about a negro Pull the trigger, kill a nigga, he’s a hero Give the crack to the kids, who the hell cares? One less hungry mouth on the welfare First ship 'em dope and let 'em deal to brothers Give 'em guns, step back, watch 'em kill each other “It’s time to fight back, " that’s what Huey said Two shots in the dark, now Huey’s dead”

                again the black panthers were not outright communists… anything about capitalism, references to marx, soviet russia, Mao? anything like that? just the words bourgeoisie or proletariat even once?

                    No the organization was not, you can read alot of bobby seal and cleaver and you can tell they were very outspoken against capitalism and promoted socialism, but the main org was about black liberation. They did not walk around waving hammsick logos calling themselves maoists

                  do you define communists by their shared, arcane-to-the-average-person vernacular or the shit they actually say lol. i also am not getting the shade towards the black panthers. even if many members saw it more as a black liberation movement than an explicitly communist one, the leadership were all communists! Huey was a communist!

                again tenuous at best, I could easily connect to the bible, or buddhism, I’m sure Osama is no fan of prostitution either

                no? how about the hours and hours of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about the freemasons and illuminati that likely inspired his band mate to name himself after mussolini?

                    so a band member named mussolini, and a video showing he doesn’t even know how to pronounce stalins name isn’t proof… but saying something vague about rent is? just say you think hes a zombie vampire and quit this bullshit
