HOME OPENING PRAYER NAAWP Beliefs News Articles ... Voter Registration Information The Black Panther's "Ten Point Program" - Is this a joke?
No, it's not, but let's see if we can make some sense of it,
look for our words in BLUE . We will also bold face key verbiage. The Ten Point Program WE WANT FREEDOM. WE WANT POWER TO DETERMINE THE DESTINY OF OUR BLACK AND OPPRESSED COMMUNITIES.
We believe that Black and oppressed people will not be free until we are able to determine our destinies in our own communities ourselves, by fully controlling all the institutions which exist in our communities.
(IN OTHER WORDS - WE WANT ANOTHER SOUTH AFRICA)
WE WANT FULL EMPLOYMENT FOR OUR PEOPLE.
We believe that the federal government is responsible and obligated to give every person employment or a guaranteed income. We believe that if the American businessmen will not give full employment, then the technology and means of production should be taken from the businessmen and placed in the community so that the people of the community can organize and employ all of its people and give a high standard of living. | |
