The Youtube channel Activist News Network sadly privated a lot of videos where the dude interviewed BBP/BLA vets. So many of their interviews have them say, “so anyways, Malcolm X radicalized me and led me to take the shahada and his assassination led me to join an org.”
Maybe that’s why the US hated the BPP so much. A lot of them were essentially Islamocommunists, everything that the WestTM fears and loathes all in one package.
This is all very true. Also, the BPP was more influenced by Du Bois and Garvey than Marx in terms of theory.
