There is an entire generation of young people who know nothing about how viciously the FBI attacked The Black Panther Party, and why.

We were like heroes, to stand there and observe the police, and the police were scared to move upon us.

A people who have suffered so much for so long at the hands of a racist society must draw the line somewhere.

The people have now come to realize that the only way to deal with the oppressor is to deal on our own terms and this was done.

Fox News never calls up Bobby Seale to articulate a stance in opposition to right-wing conservatives. To me, giving the New Black Panthers a platform on Fox is a subtle tactic to scare people.

We were not talking about the average white person: we was talking about the corporate money rich and the racist jive politicians and the lackeys, as we used to call them, for the government who perpetuate all this exploitation and racism.

Our position was: If you don't attack us, there won't be any violence; if you bring violence to us, we will defend ourselves.
