1971....The ten-point platform detailed by the Black Panther Party states:

1) We want freedom. We want power to determine the destiny of our black and oppressed communities.

2) We want full employment for our people.

3) We want an end to the robbery by the capitalists of our black and oppressed communities.

4) We want decent housing, fit for the shelter of human beings.

5) We want decent education for our people that exposes the true nature of this decadent American society. We want education that teaches us our true history and our role in the present-day society.

6) We want completely free health care for all black and oppressed people.

7) We want an immediate end to police brutality and murder of black people, other people of color, all oppressed people inside the United States.

8) We want an immediate end to all wars of aggression.

9) We want freedom for all black and oppressed people now held in U.S. federal, state, county, city and military prisons and jails. We want trials by a jury of peers for all persons charged with so-called crimes under the laws of this country.

10) We want land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice, peace and people’s community control of modern technology.

Are you paying attention now?

Sounds to me like they want slavery. Isn’t that the system where people are “given” everything they need?
