If you really want to educated yourself about the history of Black America I suggest you read BEFORE THE MAYFLOWER, A PEOPLES HISTORY OF THE US, BLACK HISTORY: FOR BEGINNERS, and various others. No only does this self-proclaimed "teacher" have no writing skills but because of his own egotism and jealously, members of the Black Panther party were murdered (by bald headed Karenga cronies in the US Party) and jailed. This house boy has no business writing about black history when he turned on other blacks during one of the most important periods of our struggle for civil rights and self-defense. Read TASTE OF POWER, read anything by Angela Davis...read the back of a cereal box before you read anything by this PUNK.
