BY FRANK JONES
Deputy Minister Of Information
“Divide and conquer” is an axiom that oppressive
‘power structures have utilized to maintain their domi-
mance over the working class of people. We are now
faced with a dilemma that could be of great consequence
to the majority of Black peoples. Two members of the
Black Panther Party have been assassinated by members
Of another Black organization, and now the Black com-
‘Mmunity is waiting to see what will be done by both of the
Organizations involved in this situation.
if the Black Panther Party seeks immediate revenge
for the loss of two revolutionary brothers, and the U.S.
; Organization offers significant resistance, then we will
have division among the Black segment of the population,
and the repressive establishment will attempt to capi-
_talize on this division. On the other hand if the Black
Panther Party does nothing about the assassination of
Brothers Bunchy and John, we may give the impression
_ that the Party will tolerate such despicable acts with no
attempt to avenge the injustice.
__ Malcolm X has said that when Black people have dif-
ferences of opinion, these differences should be resolved
__ in a closet so as to give no public display of disunity among
_ Blacks. In the case of the assassination of Brothers
_ Bunchy and John the public is apparently aware that there
es Some disunity. Now we must take positive steps to

EDITORIAL STATEMENT
The Miack Panther Party appreciates the contribations of
all revotuthonary people and will attempt to publish all rele
vant material that is submitted to the Black Panther sews
paper, THE BLACK PANTHER ts an instrument of political
education and is pwhlished with the intent ef countering the
misinformation that often appears in the mass communication
mordia
THE BLACK PANTHER Is not to be considered an outhet
for emotional outhurst of irrevelant profanity. This is not te
imply that all profanity will be eliminated from THE BLACK
PANTHER, but to inform contributors that all material rust
correspond with the primary purpose of the paper — to edu-
cate the oppressed.
Our leaders instead have decided to make the estab-
lishment work against itself. If the assassination was in-
deed inspired by the establishment in an effort to create
an inflammatory situation this has failed, and now the
establishment must prosecute its own agents, or admit
the perverted type of racist activity in which it is engaged.
The plot to create division has failed because the Panther
leadership is aware of the type of treachery that the
establishment will employ to protect its wealth and status.
The Black Panther Party will not allow any exterior
force or interior corruption to create disunity among
Black people. If the leaders of U. S. or any other organiza-
tion are going to allow members of their organization to
be used by the establishment then the Black Panther
Party will expose those leaders as pawns in the hand of
the oppressive establishment. The Party realizes that
the rank and file of most Black organizations have a sin-
cere interest in the Black Liberation Movement, and that
only the leadership of establishment oriented organizations
is corrupt. With this in mind it is the duty of the Party
to make the masses aware of those leaders whose only
goals are ones of self gratification,
Improper leadership is often reflected in the improper
action of members of that leader’s organization, The rank
and file adopt the attitudes of its leaders and act on the
premises that are advanced by the leaders, Whenever
the rank and file act in an uncomplimentary manner, the |
leaders of a righteous organization will immediately cri-
ticize those actions. A case in point is the Black Panther
renouncement of the acts of opportunistic banditry by
‘some of its former members. When a leader does other-
wise it can be assumed that that leader does not have the’
best interest of the Black community at heart.
After the assassination of Brothers Bunchy and John,
the leadership of U. S., notably Ron (Karenga) Everett,
made no statements whatsoever, and then later it has
been reported that Karenga made statements criticizing
the Black Panther Party. These statements were all of a
nebulous nature and were based entirely on subjectivism
which is an intrinsically illogical form of comment.
Because Karenga has made no statements of censure
it seems safe to assume that he is in agreement with the
action of his followers -- possibly he gave the order to
have Bunchy and John assassinated. If so, Karenga, too,
must pay for this atrocity,
The Black Panther Party has given its initial indica-
tion that the murder of Panthers will not go unpunished.
The Party was instrumental in the arrest of the two
alleged assassins, The Los Angeles pig department tried
to pretend that there was no evidence on which to in-
dict anyone, but our Chief of Staff, David Hilliard, showed
them so much evidence that they could not find a suit-
able excuse for ignoring it. The pigs are always hesitant
to arrest and prosecute their own agents. Now they are
going to be forced to prosecute ‘
their own.

FOR A REVOLUTIONARY CULTURE
The Minister of Education
the only culture worth keeping
is the revolutionary culture...
Our culture must pot be some
thing that the enemy enjoys, ap-
Prediates, Or says is attractive,
it must be repelling to the slave
master. It must smash, shatter
amt crack his skull, crack his
eyeballs, open and make water
and gold dust run out, Bocau
the only culty worth keepin
or that will be kept by black
people is 4 revolutionary culture.
Culture may be defined as ’
total creation of a people. Every-
y black peo ur food,
dances, mu: rt, Htera-
slories, poer paintings,
yS. speech, talk,
braces, squcezes,
thes.
and
Our black faces must be used in
our r lutionary culture. All
our energies, our dreams, our
will, our total ways must be
used to further the revolution
through which we will attain our
freedom, justice, and the land and
the bread which we sc desperately
need. Whenever the setth the
master, the owner, Kennedy,
Johnson, Rockefeller or Romney
talks about us, bla poople and
our Ways and attempts to prai
us, that te placing our black con-
Ssclousness into the milky way of
racist America — the
ways, their culture not revolu-
tionary, it is stagnant — counter

have no desire for our free-
dom, they want our votes andour
courageous black youth to die in
Vietnam fighting colored People,
who never call us ‘nigger’ or
made us work in plantations as
Johnson's Lady Buzzard does.
Black people want change. We
want change-revolution, we want
freedom, we want, and will have
the right to determine our des-
tiny. The Vietnamese want
change, the Chinese want change,
the African wants change, the In-
dian w
manda «
can demands change, the Puerto
Rican wants change, demands
freedom and is picking up the
freedom's sake. All peo-
ple of color In the world want an
end to the robbery of their coun-
tries and communities by the
racis piggish, fascist dog
American white man. Therefore
the total Vietnamese people north
ami south are waging a war of
liberation against racism, against
corruption and exploitation. The
Vietnamese have a revolutionary
culture, fighting culture, a
changing culture and «a cultural
spirit that demands change inthe
form.of freedom, justice and
equality not between Vietnam and
the U.5., but between Vietnam and
the world, If we are to be fre

whe you hear actu ream
oming from a Black Saxopbone,
Those are the battle cries of mad,
crazy black men, and the screams
are coming from the honkey’s
throat as he and his wife are
trangled to death, and robbed,
looted, then set afire, for change.
Because we are changing, we are
deciding that freedom means
change, changing from the slaves,
the cowards, the boys, the toma,
the clowns, coons, spooks of the
50's, 40°s, 30°s, into the wild,
courageous, freedom fighting,
revolutionary black nationalists
of the 60's and the coming 70's
are years of dynamite, black
power for all of the third world,
for all people of color in Asia,
Africa, Latin Amerioa, the black
islands of the Atlantic and Pacific
Ooccans, the Middle Bast, we Af-
ricans, Asians, Indians, and
Spanish-speaking people held
captive in the cities, inthe cotton
field, tomato fields, grape fields,
we farm workers, school drop-
outs, black, brown, red, and yel-
low workers, and unemployed,
we are realizing we must have
change. we must be free, we must
have a revolution if we are to
survive. Johason does not want ua
free. Kennedy does not want us
« Rockefeller does not want
us free, Alioto does not want
black people to be free. McCarthy
does not want us free, No Ameri-
can mayor, senator, police or
fireman wants black people free.
Rap Brown was sentenced to five
years in jail amd $2000 fine In
racist Loulsiana. Huey Newton,
our Minister of Defense, is in
jail for defending himself. Martin
Luther King was murdered be-
fre

dlack people free, Our great
Prince Malcolm X was aseas-
Sinated because he was working.
fighting to set us free. All our
black heroes — Africa's Patrice
Lumumba died to set black people
free. More than one million col-
ored children in Vietnam have
been murdered by the bombs that
American whites dropped on the
Vietnar because the Viet-
mamese are fighting to be free.
Our energies, and all our feel-
ings must be used to free our-
scives. The police fear brothers
and sisters who wear naturals,
but the natural is not a gun, it is
black, beautiful, but we need
change, we need freedom, we need
black power and political power
somes through the barrelof guna.
We change, we are changing. We
are changing from slaves to mea

1. We wart freedom. W
of our Back Community.
Rs believe that black people will not be free until we are able
to determine our destiny.
2. We want full employment for our people.
We _ believe that the federal government ix responsible and
obligat to give every man employment or a guaranteed income.
We believe that if the white American businessmen will not give
full employment, then the 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.
3. ze want _an_end to the robbery by the white man of our
mnmunity.
We believe that this racist government has robbed us and now
we are anding the overdue debt of forty acres and two mules,
Forty acres and two mules was Promised 100 years ago as resti-
tution for slave labor and mass murder of black People. We will
accept the payment in currency which will be distributed to our
many communities. The Germans are now aiding the Jews In
Isract for the genocide of the Jewish people. The Germans mur-
dered six million Jews. The American racist has taken part in
the slaughter of over fifty millfon black people; therefore, we feel
that this is a modest demand that we make.
4. We want decent housing, fit for shelter of human beings.
We believe that if the white landlords will not give decent
housing to our black Community, then the housing and the land
should be made into cooperatives so that our commun y. with
government aid, can build and make decent housing for its people.

We belleve we can end police brutality in our black community: }
by organizing black self-defense groups that are dedicated to -
defending our black community from racist police oppression
ami brutality. The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the
United States gives a right to bear arms. We therefore believe
that all black people should arm themeectves for self defense.

We believe that all black people should be released from the _
many Jalls and prisons because they have not received a fair and
impartial trial. =

‘
We believe that the courts should follow the United States
Constitution #0 that black people will receive fair trials. The
14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution gives a man a right to
be tried by his peer group. A peer is a Person from a similar
economic, social, religious, geographical, environmental, his- 2
torical and racial background. To do this the court will be forced —
to select a jury from the black community from which the black —
defendant came. We have been, and are being tried by all-white —
juries that have no understanding of the “average reasoning man"? —
of the black community. :
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary
for one people to dissolve the political bands which have con-
nected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of
the carth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of
nature and nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the
opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes
which impel fhem to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are
created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with
certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these ri

10 POINT PROGRAM
AND PLATFORM OF THE
BLACK STUDENT UNIONS
We want an ederation for our people that exposes the tree mature of (his
decadent American society, We want am education that teaches ws our tree
history and role in the present day society
We betieve in an edecetional syvtem that wil give our people a knowledge of
self, Uf 2 mas does pot have knowledge of himertf and bis position in woctety
and the woeld, then he has little chasce to relate to anything ese
1. WE WANT FREEDOM. WE WANT POWER TO DETERMINE THE
DESTINY OF OUR SCHOOL,
We betliewe that we will not be free within the achools to get as decent
ederetion wnlew we sre able to have 2 say and determine the type of
edecation that will affect and determine the Gestiny of our people
2. WE WANT FULL ENROLLMENT IN THE SCHOOLS FOR OUR
PEOPLE.
We believe that the city and federal government is responuble and
obligated lo give every man a decent ederation
3. WE WANT AN END TO THE ROBBERY BY THE WHITE MAN OF
OUR BLACK COMMUNITY.
We believe that thie raciet government has robbed us of an education We
believe Chat thes racist capitalist government has robted the Black Community
of its money by forcing ws to pay higher taxes for hess quality.
4. WE WANT DECENT EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES, FIT FOR THE
USE OF STUDENTS.
We believe that if these busineamen will not give decemt facilities to our
community schools, then the schools and their facilities should be taken out
of the hands of these few individual racists amd placed into the hands of the
commanity, with government aid, so the community can develop « decent and
mutable educatonal syitem.
$. WE WANT AN EDUCATION FOR OUR PEOPLE THAT TEACHES
US HOW TO SURVIVE IN THE PRESENT DAY SOCIETY
We beliewe that if the educational system dors not teach us how to survive
bn society and the world if loses ris meaning for existence.
6. WE WANT ALL RACIST TEACHERS TO BE EXCLUDED AND
RESTRICTED FROM ALL PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
We believe that Mf the teacher in a school is acting in revist fashion then
that teacher 6 Bot interested in the welfare of development of the mudemts
but only in their destruction.
7. WE WANT AN IMMEDIATE END TO POLICE BRUTALITY AND
MURDER OF BLACK PEOPLE. WE WANT ALL POLICE AND SPECIAL
AGED TO BE EXCLUDED AND RESTRICTED FROM SCHOOL
We believe that there showld be an end to haraunent by the police
department of Black people, We believe that if all of the police were pulled
out of the whools, the whools woasld become more functional
3. WE WANT ALL STUDENTS THAT HAVE BEEN EXEMPT,
EXPELLED, OR SUSPENDED FROM SCHOOL TO BE REINSTATED.
We believe all students should be reumtated because they haven't recerved
fair and impartial judgment or have been put cut because of incidents or
wtuations that have occured outude of ihe uchools authority
5. WE WANT ALI. STUDENTS WHEN BROUGHT TO TRIAL TO BE
TRIED IN STUDENT COURT BY A JURY OF THEIR PEER GROUP OR
STUDENTS OF THEIR SCHOOL.
We believe that the student courts should follow the United States
Comatitetion so that students can receive a fair trial. The 14th Amendment of
the US. Constitution gives a man a right to be Uried by « jury of his peer
group, A peer is & person from a semidar ecomoenical, social, religious,
al, eovircemeental, historical and racial backcroum4 To do thet the
court would be forced to wiect a jury of students from the community from
which the Gefendent came We have been and are being tried by a white
principal, vice-principal, and white sudemts that have no understanding of tbe
“average reasoning man” of the Black Community.
10. WE WANT POWER, ENROLLMENT, EQUIPMENT, EDUCATION
TEACHERS, JUSTICE, AND PEACE z ’
As our major political objective, an amembly for the student body, in
which only the students will be alowed to participate, for the purpose of
Getermining the will of the stedents as Lo the school's destiny
We bold these treths as bring self-evident, that all men are coeaied al,
that they are endowed by their cresiog with certain inalienable Tights, thal
among these are life, Wherty and the pursuit of happiness To secure these
Mights within the schools, governments are institwied among the students,
Geriving their just powers from the coment of the governed, that whenever
any form of student government becomes desiruetive bo these ends, if is the
right of the students to abier or sbodish |t and Lo institute new fovernment,
laying Ks foundation on wach principles amd organizing its power ie wed foem
26 Lo them chal! seem moat likely to effect their safety and happenem.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long establithed should net
be changed for light and tranwen! comms, and accordingly all experences have
shown, that mankind are more lable to suffer, while evils are wafteratte, than
to right Chemuetves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed But
when 2 long train of abuses and force, purming invariably the same object,
reveals & dewgn to reduce them to absolute destruction, it is their right, it bs
thew duty, to throw off weh & government and to provide new guards for
ther future security.
