“We were not listening. We were not listening to old people. We had removed any resemblance of spirituality from the movement…Not having a spiritual base, not acknowledging the greatness of God, not saying we can’t do this without God, we have no solid ground. We turned against God, and how you gonna live like that. You cant do that and expect that God is going to allow, peace, harmony, and serenity stay around you. We drew violence to ourselves. We drew bitterness to ourselves. That’s my opinion.”
-Afeni Shakur, Former member of the Black Panther Party, and Mother of the rapper/activist Tupac Shakur.
Why It Matters That Black People Are The Hebrews Of The Bible
The movie “Judas and The Black Messiah, was released this past friday. It is about the Black Panther Party leader, Fred Hampton who was assassinated by the FBI with the help of a Black informant. Fred Hampton was killed because he was a revolutionary.
The story of Fred Hampton is the perfect symbol of Black people’s time spent in America. Every time we try to unite as people and advance our community, racist white people sabotage it.
The Bible states in Deuteronomy 28:33, that the Hebrews would be “oppressed and crushed always”…IF they rejected their heritage.
