Wiz Khalifa and Curren$y Criticized Over “Huey Newton”

    Wiz Khalifa and Curren$y recently came under fire for their collaboration “Huey Newton”. Renowned Black activist, minister and author Trutha Minista Paul Scott attacked the duo in a video (see below), saying that their use of Huey P. Newton’s names is disrespectful given the content of the song. Scott even went as far as to call them COINTELPRO agents.

    “They’re not talking about being revolutionaries, they’re not talking about fighting the power for the people, they’re not talking about standing up for the people and free lunch programs like Huey P. Newton of the Black Panthers did,” he said. “It’s a blatant example of the disrespect that many of the Hip Hop artists have for those who paved the way for them…how dare you, Curren$y and Wiz Khalifa, to make a song that was disrespectful to the legacy of the Black Panthers…I really believe that some of you Hip-Hop artists are really COINTELPRO agents.”

    In related news, Wiz Khalifa revealed to Hot 97’s Angie Martinez that he’s planning on releasing a star-studded remix to his smash single “Black and Yellow.” Although numerous emcees have already jumped on the track for their own unofficial remixes, Wiz has enlisted  Snoop Dogg, Jeezy, Three 6 Mafia’s Juicy J, and T-Pain for the official “G-Mix.” He even hinted that a fourth person might grace the remix, but did not reveal the artist’s name.

    “We tryna get somebody else on there,” he said. “I’m tryna like say his name and make him be on it.” (Rap-Up.com)

      1. yeah to tell u the truth, i’m white and a huuge wiz and curren$y fan and i agree with u, Mark. I mean the song really didn’t have a thing to do w/ Huey Newton so idk why u’d have to name the song after him.

      2. why would Trutha Minista whatever the rest of his name is, (because he’s irrelevant) be jealous? maybe because his following isn’t even close to Wiz, Taylor Gang, or Curren$y’s following

    1. Reminds me of when OutKast was under attack for Rosa Parks, but after hearing the Wiz Khalifa/Curren$y track, it’s definitely on some left field shit if you were expecting a track with actual substance. I clearly hear the argument, but COINTELPRO is the most over the top labeling I’ve heard in a while. You have to work for the FBI before you’re part of that kind of group.

    2. YO,Understand this I fux wit Curren$y but more vital is if you don’t agree with what this brother is saying then you a bitch ass nigga and are part of the problem!!! What side are you on? And know your history!!!!

    3. yo hes sooo right .
      select few morons ruining the image of black people.
      when you depict yourself as beings governed by material (cars, money, women, cribs), you marginalize all the necessary freedoms (that had to won through great struggle)for you to now enjoy these material things. Fuck all you ignorant black artists. White devils smiling in your face. Tupac was such a powerful man who wanted to advance his people. Fuck you currency and wiz, fuck you kanye, soulja boy and alll you ignorant ass meterosexual bitches

    4. I am a huge fan and supporter of both Currensy and Wiz but as soon as I saw that they did a joint called “Huey Newton” I was excited. I was immediately disappointed with the fact that it had nothing to do with Huey and was in fact, more weed and sex raps. I agree with this panther 100%

    5. why would he let t-pain on black and yellow remix? like what the fuck was he smoking when he thought of that idea

    6. the black panthers are a racist group and should be disbanded and crushed. and who gives a fuck if they called a song huey newton

    7. exactly what i’m saying. wiz spends over 200k on weed in a month. you know where that money could be going toward to help the community.it’s not about getting high all the time shit keeps you from becoming smarter

      1. 200k a month on weed??????? Lmao kill yourself if youre being serious…
        He said repeatedly, he spends about 10k a month homie.. & thats hot cheeto money for wiz. Its nothin bro

      2. It was supposedly 10K. Trust me. He was lying.

        I could do the numbers for you and show your 10 man squad will not smoke a pound of Dro in a month.

        A pound of garbage. Yeah.

        Not a pound of Dro.

    8. dont take curren$y and wiz seriously please. there not supposed to. there supposed to be people to light one up to and have a good time, so dont look for substance in them even if the title track but seem like it might provide something. it wont, so stop bitching. people like those 2 have been around forever, and i personally like them to light a blunt up to.

    9. Prime example of people getting worked up over nothing. It’s a song title. You dumb smuck. If anything you should be happy that they know who he is. If they felt like naming something, something. What’s your beef? They’re not knocking him in anyway. In fact, say one of their fans hears this song, but doesn’t get the title. They google it, and find out all about Huey Newton. BAM! What’s the big deal?

      1. The truth is that Huey Newton was one of the most respected revolutionaries of the civil rights movement.His life was helping destitute families while fighting corrupt cops and the government only to be murdered by a low level drug dealer..and a pothead and a hasbeen who never was are using his name and legacy to make some bullshit song..that’s the problem..understand?

      2. cosign problemaz, too many dumb young boys running around thinking they cool and clever, smarten up dummies!! I know ya’ll mom told ya’ll too have some respect for the dead, Especially someone WHO MADE A DIFFERENCE. Be a man, stop following these fools and stand on your own two.

    10. Well c’mon people wiz and currency are dumb as rocks, they’re not going to do anything on the level of huey so yea they deserve all the back lash for using his name. Wiz sucks and currency sucks there I said it.

      1. shows you that production can only get you so far,,,, drop knowledge in your songs WIZ & Curren$y otherwise you are just overhyped stoners recording music about NOTHING.

    11. The brother is on point. Now all their metrosexual fans of course get emotional instead of intellectual. Upset because someone offended their shallow, misogynistic, “Kid Cudi” ish, weed advocate heroes…

    12. Calm down!!!!!!! It seems like a repeat of when Outkast and their song Rosa Parks. The same people on here that are actin pure be the sames ones saying nigga to everyone and their mama and calling women bitches…..get outta here hypocrites. Keep doin your thing Wiz and Curren$y.

    13. They name the song heuy newton because like huey newton they have a big following and they are here for there fans(People) Both Wiz N Currensy letf major lables Wiz Left a 6 figure Deal And Currensy left Lil Wayne So Dont hate cuz they understand had Newton Stood up for his people

    14. The dude is correct but you can’t teach people who don’t want to learn. The population today is all about making money and there’s nothing wrong with that BUT how far are you willing to sell out to make it

      I’m 32 so I’m considered old now so maybe when these artist get in their 30’s and 40’s they’ll know….or at least give a damn

    15. @ TAZZ thats exactly the problem…the Black Panthers had a following that you can’t compare ANY rappers following to.

      Why is it hate when the brother is just saying stop following the masses, stop doing ANYTHING to make money….these brothers gave up more than any of these rappers for no money and to see it all given up for the pursuit of an audemar watch is disgusting

    16. He didn’t call THEM CINTELPRO AGENTS, he said

      “I really believe that some of you Hip-Hop artists are really COINTELPRO agents.”

      Ya’ll lame for that, but I believe cointelpro has infiltrated Hip Hop, especially the lame ass websites *uhem* serving us the bullshit…

      1. yeah being a tru nigga is good thing. curren$y is anything but simple minded listen to pilot talk ya bitch. and wiz is just funny why you hatin?

    17. Why is it that people have to rally up over a name?! it’s simply a name! and why is it that you’ll all bitch over em both rapping about weed but the very fact that your commenting on this shows that you listen to both of these guys, otherwise you wouldn’t even be talking shit on the computer so that makes you a hypocrite.

      1. Let’s make a song called Martin Luther King Jr.

        Where a rapper talks about how Martin died so they could have the freedom to get high high, sell crack and destroy your own neighborhood.

        Let’s not leave out shooting “Niggas”.

        Yeah. Let’s do that.

      2. shut the fuck up commenting on my shit and fuck it if you got problems sayin “nigga” you negative turd

        Taylor Gang or live life to hate

    18. Ya’ll really missing the point but anyway, rappers dont know how much power they have if everyone unite and start dropping knowledge

    19. first off if you dont smoke trees and arent high now then dont even say nothin about curren$y or wiz. also yall haters need to calm down and worry about something important. he just mad that wiz and curren$y are fun as shit and got white friends and dont give two fucks about all this racist shit. if everyone was as chill as wiz and curren$y the world would be a better place. =========✈ FS JET life til the next life, tgod.

      1. You’re trying to make yourself seem smart about this subject by stating your stoned right now.

        thats how to get peoples respect.

      2. im stoned 24/7 its got nothin to do with tryin to look smart? and i aint tryin to get anyones respect either im just supportin curren$y and wiz cause they are chill as fuck and yall are freakin out cause they named a song after some dude. not like they even went on him or anything foreal just calm down smoke a joint damn

      3. If everyone in the world was a chill as tese two absolutely nothing would get accomplished.

        but of course an ignorant tool like yourself doesnt realize that, sitting in your moms basement collecting welfare.

        If these fools and you were so damn smart you’d grow your own weed instead of supporting terrorism on our southern border.

    20. bahah tell’em BlzZo, yall wanna take on the taylor gang your about to get kilt. seriously black panthers vs taylor gang yall about to get swamped.

      1. we still got the KKK dont we? and they much worse. they just need to all be put together so they can merc eachother and leave all us peaceful brothers who love are fellow man alone.

      2. KKK dont ctively go out into the community like the black panthers do.

        standing outside voting centers threatening voters and using intimidation tactics to sway peoples votes. last time I checked that was illegal as hell, but according the Black panthers in our government its not.

      3. two dudes did that in philly who gives a shit why you even intimidated anyways, you a bitch? the KKK killed alot of innocent people because of their skin color theyre some evil dudes.

      4. The BPP was not racist or anti white. They were allied with the peace and freedom party which was mainly white. The Black Panther Party were revolutionaries that wanted to keep their organization black only because they believed in autonomy of black people. They were revolutionaries willing to ally with any race of oppressed people. So with no hate I say don’t just listen to what your told about groups like the BPP actually research it.

      5. Know the history about racism and black people cant be racist, we can be prejudice but not racist. theres a huuuuge difference.

      6. D!z i dont understand what you mean, could you explain it a little more? it just seems like word semantics to me. and i just looked up black panther party on youtube and theres alot about this king shameer shabazz guy… if he represents the black panther party then they have issues. maybe he doesnt though idk i aint no black panther.

      7. 1st of all..Anyone that says black people can’t be racist is simply uneducated..second of all it should be mentioned that there is a difference between the Black Panthers and the New Black Panther Party..New black panthers are the racist ones..just a little info for anyone interested

      8. @DZ

        Wow if that isnt the definition of hypocricy.

        black people cant be racist? How is that? they’re the most racist group of people on the planet.

        And by you denying it only furthers my point

      9. To the young brotha on here who brought up the racism and prejudice point. You are right sir. However, you need to explain to the other brothas and sistas on here what that means. If you don’t mind let me see if I can help your case. One, in order to be racist one needs to have power. That power being economic, social, political etc. A true racist can impede the progress of another through those entities. Think of it this way. If one has given the other second rate schools, with second rate books while giving them a fourth rate education, then socially that group of people have experienced a disadvantage that the other group continues to perpetuate. Furthermore, while those who control social media continue to blare negative images of our people instead of showing the true success of our people such as being physicians, attorneys, educators, etc are impeding our visual limitations of what is truly real than what is perceived as real, i.e. athletes, rappers, etc. This is social racism. Two, Economics: If for years before our time we had those who came before us march, were beaten, spat upon, dogs unleashed, etc to not fight for integration only, but for economic justice and prosperity that is fair-then that should tell you young brothas and sistas out there that those who deny jobs because of test scores, or our inability to mesh into the “real world” because of our social and economic background, that is in itself-economic racism. If you grew up in a household where your grandmother or any other family member received a check from the federal government that is economic racism and more importantly economic slavery. Slavery meaning dependence in this context. And lastly, political. Any time a people make up 40 % of the general population of the United States and it does not make a difference if they go to the polls to vote or not means that as a people we have no political power. For years, this country has brainwashed its minority populations into not voting. But look at your constitution and it will tell you why. Because it still states to this day, that you are 3/5 of human being and that if you are not white, male, and own land your vote will never count. That is political racism. So, in order to be racist, one must have the power to IMPEDE PROGRESS. It doesn’t take much to be prejudice. You can hate a person all day like the poor whites in the south during the sharecropping days with emancipated blacks. But there was nothing that they could have done as individuals because they did not have the power to do so. Only the rich enacted those RACIST laws. The poor just followed along with the system. I hope this helps. I am an attorney and I have love for my young brothas and sistas and I want us to succeed as a people. You all are the future. Respect the Creator, Remember your ancestors, and honor those who have taken care of you.

        Be Blessed and Productive,

        Obatala

      10. so, basically, since blacks came from a fucked up past, they can call whites devils, say fuck whitey, kill all the crackas, and they’ll be labeled only as prejudice because in reality, most blacks don’t have the power to actually do anything politically and economically??

        instead of trying to justify that thought, maybe Wiz and Curren$y named the track Huey Newton to say, “fuck all that shit, relax, smoke somethin if you need to, and focus on getting yourself straight before continuing to blame everyone else for all the problems being faced”

      11. See what I dont get is why black people complain about being in ghettoes and going to crappy schools etc.. when they do it all to themselves.

        Who is the most victimized race in the country? black people.

        Who are the ones causing the vast majority of crime in these black areas or cities? other black people.

        Look at NYC in the late 80s. the burroughs were fucked with ridiculous crime rates. Once the mayor and Police deparment stepped up patrols in black areas, it just so happened the majority of the arrests made were of blacks. You wanna know why? because they were the ones comitting the crimes!

        So if lazy ass so called “thugs” cause crime and victimize other black people why are they bitching about their schools being shit and neighborhoods being shit, when they’re the ones doing it to themselves?!?

        When city governments try to clean up these areas you have dumbass race groups coming out saying its racial profiling. When it fact its just them doing their jobs. if a black guy robs a black woman why would the police bother fucking with anyone else when they know it was a black guy who committed the crime?

        Instead of supporting the weeding out of the trouble makers and criminals these ghettos would rather be quiet and talk shit about the police and attack them when the police are the ones trying to help them.

        this whole poor us, the man is keeping us down is such a fabricated pile of shit. when really they’re the ones doing it to themselves.

      12. you people are pathetic the government had to come up with Affirmative Action to make up for your laziness and inability to achieve for more.

        WHo cares if the white guy or asian girl has better test scores, we gotta give this black kid the scholarship because of affirmative action.

        Who cares if this guy is far more qualified for the job we have to give it to the black guy because of affirmative action.

        And this one guy bring up ridiculous laws and statutes from the 1700 & 1800s that hold no relevance in todays society actually made some sense but quickly loses any credibility with these ridiculous reaches to try and make his point.

    21. I’m not 100%, but aren’t the black panthers basically the black KKK (atleast the modern group)? If so, who gives a fuck what this dude’s opinion is. If anyone wants to complain, let Newton’s family complain.

      1. You’re thinking of the NEW Black Panther Party..they aren’t affiliated with the originals..and yes they ARE racist..extremely racist actually

      2. Aren’t they like the kkk you ask? Well, no my friend they’re not. get back to me when the black panthers lynch a white person or burn down an entire white suburb.

      3. nah the KKK was founded by a freemason Albert Pike, while the Black Panthers was founded by bobby Seale and Huey P Newton in Oakland CA (the hood)

        Huey P newton was killed because he was associated with the Phi Beta Sigma, who were displeased with his black party organization…

    22. Black Panthers, 5 Percenters, Freemasons, Bloods, Crips, Norteno, Sureno, Latin Kings, Azn Pride, Mafia and many gangs are all satanic blood brothers that worship the goat god.

      1. dude youre a major faggot, you know what the doctor said when you were being born? “hey looki its a cunt coming out of some ladys cunt!!”

      2. REALLLY , the black panthers. I know theres the Illuminati dude but the black panthers!!! CRIPS!!!! C’mon mann. Your being to irrationall

    23. He has a point, buut he sounds a bit crazy at the end calling them COINTELPRO agents. but i dont know im divided because i love wiz and spitta but also im not an ignorant idiot. I dont know lol

    24. I don’t see the big deal. it’s a song. Not even on the radio. And its a dope song. Wiz named it Huey Newton because he just got out from being locked up and i guess he was in a revolutionary mood lol, not for anything truly positive or revolutionary to the world, but for their circle, weed heads. referlution biatch, i don’t smoke but I can respect it. wE ALL FIGHT FOR DIFFFRENT RIGHTS,gays wana marry, and pot-heads want legal pot. I don’t see the prob, alchol is just as bad from what I learned. People think to deep into shit, always trying to find excuses for the youth being ignorant. smdh.

      1. That thought process is exactly why America is in the state its in. Watch a documentary about the real civil rights movement….its nothing like this bullshit gay right thing going on….making a song like this with that man’s name as the title shits all over what he went thru.

    25. u guyz sux… these guyz r racist. dey mention bout a racist person… leesten 2 justin bieber… he’z da best, he’z so talented. he can play da acoustic guitar like no otha.

    26. dont tell me Wiz is another south dick rida your from Pittsburg,Pennsylvania hommie why u putting them corning niggas on the official remix WTF??? Snoop ok but Juicy J and T-Pain r u serious… Dont make niggas ban u from the east coast nigga cause them down south rappers barely be doing records with any east or west coast mcs and thats the reason why the South fell off hardbody this year and I live in ATL…

      1. This is why no one likes the East Coast stans… 2pac murdered Biggie already. Get over it.

        Also here are some collabs with East/South Raps:
        Jay-Z- signed J. Cole, Jay Electroncia, Wale, Made songs with UGK, Lil Wayne
        Nas- did songs with Lil Wayne
        Talib Kweli- Gucci Mane of all people
        The list can go on…

        Fuck New York anyway. They may have good rappers but it’s shitty city full of 5 percenters faggots, close minded motherfuckers and broke ass niggaz. Yankees/Knicks/Rangers/Islanders/Mets/Nets/Jets/Giants/Devils all suck too.

      2. The Devils and Nets are in New Jersey. I hope Epic Fail refers to you 1) because you used the phrase epic fail which tells us all you’re a nerd and 2) you don’t know the difference between New York and New Jersey.

      3. Before you speak bad about the juice man. Check that man’s track record. People always forget how much work them niggaz put in, real talk. That fuckin sound to black and yellow is Juicy J. Get up on ya knowledge like he said “I work hard for this shit man.” That’s Paul and Juicy I’m just sayin I been a fan since the underground tapes.

      http://www.youtube.com/user/kcraigdc MY COINTELPRO VIDEOS

      1. Is there? Not really. Rosa Parks disapproved of OutKast doing that song for much the same reason this cat is harping on Wiz and Curren$y

        I ain’t no idiot or dick rider putting these two at OutKast status. Wiz Khalifa is nice and Curren$y has some hot shit, but Outkast is classic, Andre 3000 being my favorite rapper and Big Boi being in my top ten.

        Overall, Outkast is way more intellectual and artistic, hitting on elements of psychology, politics, spirituality, society, and philosophy these kids aren’t even touching.

        But they also have club songs, and Rose Parks is one of them. It really is just a feel good, have fun song, just like Huey Newton.

      2. I agree, Kid. People read too much into song titles. It’s almost like a throwback to when parents thought rock n roll had hidden evil messages. People think Hov is a mason. I’m a well read concious cat but this shit is getting out of hand. Everybody has to make a conspiracy out of something.

    31. To everybody talking about The Black Panthers being the black KKK, go watch this vide:

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NA79VdfySkI

      The Black Panthers were, and still are, misrepresented and misconstrued as a terrorist organization, when they were just standing up for there rights and freedoms, in addition to helping their community in drammatic ways that have been adopted by the federal government, all the while being murdered by the police.

      Learn your shit next time you speak. If you ain’t down for black power and black pride and shit, and you wanna be all “post-racial” and “I’m not gonna bring up race in this” then go ahead, I can respect that. But if your gonna listen to black music, the least you could is learn about the people that fought and died for black freedom. At least enough so as not to call a revolutionary, influential, militant but also incredibly beneficiary and helpful black power organization “the black kkk”.

      1. “music that happens to be by blacks” is black music

        it was a movement against mainstream, and mainstream took it away (or is trying to)

      2. @cb
        Don’t touch the crown yo.
        Those aren’t the original black panthers I was referring to. The real revolutionaries, Huey P Newton, Bobby Seale, and Fred Hampton, have nothing to do with them.
        Those are the New Black Panthers. They stole the name and defiled and it, and you are right, those guys are a racist terrorist group.

        @Matt Tompkins
        It was music created by blacks, defined by elements taken from black culture, vernacular and african musical traditions, that is historically connected to blacks, and is still primarily (in the US at least) made by blacks and associated with blacks, and this particularly song is made by two black artists.
        This is black music.

      3. keep labeling it as “black music” and you will never accomplish what the black panthers wanted to accomplish. If people of another culture appreciate the music and call it their own also, then let them. People of all race can relate to hip hop. Don’t alienate yourself dumbass.

        “i dont make black music, i dont make white music, i make hip hop music, for hip hop kids”

        whether black/white/brown/etc. people of all ethnicities can relate to some of these songs

      4. @Keep Labeling

        So then we need to stop using labels like “Latin music”, “Christian Church Music”, “British pop”, “Classical Indian” and “Japanese Rock”.

        And we need to stop using terms “Dirty South Rap” and “East Coast Rap”.

        I understand what your saying, but you misunderstand me. I don’t use “black music” as a term to separate blacks from whites, like “this is music for blacks”
        Just like latin music is called so because it is rooted in the culture of latin america, and Dirty South is called so because it is rooted in the culture of the American deep south, I call this black music because it is rooted in the culture of black america.

        Anybody regardless of race can make hip hop, and anyone can listen to it.

        I’m just saying. Its so ignorant to listen to hip hop, a genre created by and rooted in black culture, and then to be so ignorant about a significant historical movement in black culture.

        That’s like a person from another country consuming American culture and using American-made technology, and the criticizing them for being “lazy and stupid”.

      5. oh alright yeah i see what your saying.. i did misunderstand you.. and it is ignorant to say this music doesnt have black elements in it.

        im mexican and i love the way music can connect different ethnicities. give others a different perspective about a certain culture. Thats why i got kinda mad when i THOUGHT (just emphasis nothing personal) u were saying its only for black people to listen to.. I consider latin music yours as much as i consider black music mine.. at the end of the day we all belong to a race called “HUMAN”

        having said all of that i love the way your ethnicity has surpassed its struggles, much like mine, even though corporate america tries to exploit our cultures. stay up

    32. Omg all of you need to shut the fuck up, fuck this guy, bitch i dont give a shit, get your forgotten ass outa here

    33. Kid cudi was original 2 years ago but now u got all these clones like wiz and asher roth who only focus on smoking weed and u got these hipsters who listen to their crap. Imo if u have to smoke weed for something to sound good then the rapper sucks

And before some of you dumb fucks start talking about me being a man and commenting on how ugly these 2 goofy bastards look I will already say I DON”T GIVE A SHIT! No matter how you slice it these two fools look like some straight turds. Wiz be one of the ugliest looking muthafuckers I have seen in a long as time and a huge reason why his ass will ALWAYS be underground cause nobody wants to see his ass any place else but under the ground! Not to mention his rhymes are old and boring. Stop dropping mixtapes nigga and come out with a real album already!

That is some retard shit if I ever seen it. Corny ass nigga’s! Get a real fucking job and stop clouding up my hiphop space with all your broke ass songs and dumb ass articles like this. As for the black panther in the video, just let it go homie! These two are so fuckin irrelevant that you putting up a video only brings more focus on these corny fools. Nobody gives a fuck about the song, your black panther pride bullshit, or these two ugly bastards. I wouldn’t miss any of ya if all three of ya was on the same bus together and it fell off a cliff!

      2. I think you and your dad need to have a talk, bruh. Hopefully he accepts you for who you are… I hope you find a rapper that’s good looking enough to listen to.

    36. “You attract more Bees with honey, than with vinger.” I think some people over a certain age have forgetten this. Unfortunately, in todays society we STILL find ways to segregate ourselves from one another. It is not a matter if Wiz Khalifa named a song after Huey Newton, but I take an issue with the people who find it in themselves to keep Mr. Newton’s legacy alive by ridiculing individuals who might not be educated in that particular history or time; dealing with the civil rights movement. Instead of PUSHING people away, help educate people, help enlighten people. To take shots at ones character or taste, merely because they enjoy an SELF-INTERPRETED ART from a musician, is basically everything Huey Newton stood against. Don’t discredit a fan base or an artist because, one they might be misinformed, or two they might just be disengaged because of a particular circumstances. Become facilitators of the youth not the ones that turn us away.TGOD

      1. They’re discredited because they actually took the time to think of the title, and had enough time to at least use Wikipedia to brush up on their histories but noooooo. Coonery at its finest.

    37. The black panthers do nothing but keep the stereotypes and separation from all other races in the forefront and until the black race learns to stop separating themselves from all the other races they will never be looked at as one or the same. The black panthers and the majority of blacks in general do whatever they can to keep separated from other races by being extremely racist on many levels and can be heard all the time on TV, music, magazines, or even in normal conversations within the black communities. Until these issues within the black race stop no other race will stop feeling the way they do about the black race. I’m not saying all blacks are guilty of this but a majority of the black race has these underlying issues and they do come up given the right context. Nobody wants to hear or see how you continue to try and separate yourselves from the rest. A great example is when Obama won and we see blacks all over the U.S. celebrating as if it was “THEIR VICTORY” and the mentality of “WE WIN” is thrown in the faces of all other races. Can’t you see how these types of “black power” moments can feel insulting to the other races in which you share this wonderful nation of ours? If a white person tries to even show a small dose of “white power” or shares any thoughts about how they may be proud of their race people automatically paint that person into a corner as a racist or a ku klux fruit loop. The double standard by the black race will continue to be the dividing line between coming together and staying separated in the minds of all races. Sure we don’t see the obvious signs of racism as we did in the past or the generations before us where raised in but we all know the issues remain deep in all our minds and it’s something I wish would stop on both sides of the races. The black race is the worst when it comes to continuing to separate themselves from everybody else and the black panthers are the worst group in this regard. The voter intimidation this past election we all seen on the news is just another small example of how this group continues to hold down the black race all while claiming it only wants whats best for its race. I hope some day our children’s children will live in a time when the black races stops holding themselves down from what can truly be accomplished by considering themselves the same and as equals rather then superior, better, worse or less for that matter. I can’t take away the things that translated in the past to the black race but I can pray that our nation can continue to remove itself from all the negatives in the past that was transpired by our past generations. The key in my opinion is for the black race to stop separating themselves and stop listening to groups like the black panthers who continue during good and bad times. It all starts with the mentality and until the mentality changes nothing changes.

      1. The Black Panthers of Huey Newton’s era were nothing like the several flavors of the New Black Panther Party that have been in the news today.

      2. NOW LOOK, IM NOT HERE TO WRITE A NOVEL 4 U MUTHAFUKZ, BUT I WILL SAY, U ARE OBVIOUSLY UNATTATCHED TO A TRUE UNDERSTANDING OF BLACK PEOPLE. FRANKLY, I COULD GIVE A PHUK LESS WHERE U STAND, BUT THE FACT REMAINS THESE FOOLS CALLED THE SONG “HUEY NEWTON”!! I MEAN, WHEN I FIRST SAW THE TITLE IT AUTOMATICLY HAD ME INTERESTED, BUT WHEN I, ALONG WITH MY BROTHER LISTENED TO IT WE BOTH HAD THE SAME THING ON OUR MIND, ITS ALRIGHT, BUT WHY’D THEY CALL IT “HUEY NEWTON”?? THIS SHIT AINT SAYIN’ SHIT!! NOW I WOULD’NT EXPECT U OR ANY OTHER CULTURE 2 UNDERSTAND BECAUSE “ITS NOT FOR U TO UNDERSTAND” IF U DO COOL, BUT THE MAJORITY ALWAYS WANTS TO LOOK AT SHIT THROUGH A DIRTY LENS, WIPE THAT SHIT OFF!!! SHIT IS A LOT DEEPER THAN U MAY WANT TO, OR WOULD LIKE TO THINK!! WE ARE NOT ALL THESE EASY-READ IMAGES THAT ARE PERPETUATED THRU THE MEDIA! THERE ARE A LOT OF DEEP THINKERS AND INTELLECTUALS IN OUR CULTURE, ESPECIALLY IN HIP HOP!!!! BUT THOSE VOICES ARE SHUNNED AND MADE TO LOOK LIKE ITS ALL ANTI-WHITE WHEN ITS NOT ALL ABOUT YALL! WE AS BLACK PEOPLE HAVE A LOT OF SELF HELP ISSUES THAT HAVE UNFORTUNATELY MADE IT TO THE WORLDS STAGE FOR OTHERS TO VIEW, RIDICULE AND POINT FINGERS, BUT BEFORE U DO THAT LOOK AT UR OWN DOORSTEP, SWEEP THAT SHIT OFF THEN COME TALK TO ME, UNTIL THEN……

        Seems like every month one of these geniuses stands on a soap-box making these claims. Reverse racism, fam? Really? That’s whats holding black people back? Get the fuck outta here. Another cat indirectly putting the blame on the oppressed for being oppressed. Please.

      4. @sicofyall haha word

        white people make it seem like if black people are the ones to blame for their oppresions. Pretty much what jimmy was saying is “why dont you stop being proud of all youve been able to accomplish and pretend that your white stop cheering for a huge step in black history and treat it as if its something normal. Stop being black.” i mean they make it seem like if its black people who are feeling sorry for themselves but if they were to do what jimmy said, would white people really treat them as equal?

      5. Let me start by saying I think dudes post was overtly racist. Let me conclude with fuck you fuckin idiots!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      6. Jimmy cricket is a fuckin idiot. Whites are the ones who seperated everything and are the ones who evn invented the concept of race in the first place. Whites did not want ush. They make fun of us and look down on us. So we come up with our own shit and when we win and throw it back in your faces you white folks cant handle it. If it wasn’t for white devil oppression there would have have never have to be a black panthers. Look at a majority black country like Jamaica do you see blacks intimidating and looking down on whites no because it is not in the black mans nature to be a hateful people. But in america where its majority white we have this problem where folks hate on a president just because he’s mixed with black they drive around with there big flags and make others like muslims and blacks feel unwelcome. Go onany internet board for every 1 black person who writes something hateful there are a thousand whites who write hateful ugly biased words. No jimmy cricket are you are obviously biased and you need to empathize more with the black cause and stop becaus eyou lack knowledge and understanding.

    38. this guy is nuttyer than a mutha fuckin squirell turd. its entertainment man not a secret operation trying to make the black and brown community dumb down. get the fuck out of here, you still stuck on hatein white folks, sayin shit about gettin put back on slave ships and shit. damn man talk about the black kkk! rediculus!!

    39. Damn if i was a rapper and wanted to make a song that would get internet n media attention hhmmm… I would name a song after a influential person of history and hope the media and blogs talk all this sh#t about the song… FREE PROMOTION. People would hopefully listen to more of my sh#t which could potentially make me more money. These niggas arent stupid they know controversies sells and gains attention…. Dont believe me read these comments

    40. damn dude looks like shyne. haha hes a fool there just people tryin to make a living. there doing a damn good job to.
