Okay, so this story comes to us from the staff at the Griot.
So Elaine Brown, a former Black Panther, says that she doesn't know what Black Lives Matter does.
When asked about the current political movement, Brown derided the protest as not doing enough,
saying, the next wave of young people running out here who are complaining and protesting
about the murders of young black men and women by the police all over the country, they will
protest, but they will not rise up in an organized fashion with an agenda to create revolutionary change.
We advocated community self-defense organizations to be formed so that we would not be assaulted
by the police, so that we would bear arms and assume our human rights.
[Ab] She went on to accuse the Black Lives Matter protesters of plantation mentality, rejecting
the notion that the movement has put forward that they [A] are building on the legacy of our
ancestors who pushed for reparations, black self-determination, and community control.
This to me is a plantation mentality, she said.
It smacks of master.
If you would just treat me right.
And [Ab] it has nothing to do with self-determination, empowerment, and a sense of justice or anything else.
She also heavily criticized Black Lives Matter for meeting with Hillary Clinton, saying,
I was ashamed of them for asking that racist warmonger what she thought of black people. Hmm.
Elaine Brown.
Yes, [E] I totally agree.
And not only meeting with [A] Hillary Clinton, but wasn't there, [F] wasn't, didn't they sit
down and have a barbecue or a cookout with the cops?
Yeah, it's, the days of the Panthers and the Black Liberation Army and all those great
[Ab] evolutionary groups that fought on behalf of real change in the black community.
Unfortunately, those days are long gone.
