Apparently military culture was HEAVILY influenced by Black Americans.
Including โSounding Offโ as they march.
The brother who invented it made it so popular that it produced a hit record.
We ARE the culture! ๐ช๐ฟ
In 1968, Bobby Hutton, an original member of the Black Panther Party was shot dead by the Oakland police, unarmed. He was only 17 years.
After being bombed with tear gas and trapped in a burning basement, he came out shirtless to prove he was unarmed and the police immediately shot him 12 times and he died.
He was only 17 years.
-Robert James Hutton also known as "Lil' Bobbyโ born on April 21, 1950 and at 16-years old he became the first member and the first treasurer of the Black Panther Party. Hutton met Black Panther Party founders Huey Newton and Bobby Seale at the North Oakland Neighborhood Anti-Poverty Center, a "government-funded agency that employed local youth to work on community service projects.
On April 6, 1968, two days after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and with riots raging across cities in the U.S., Hutton was traveling with Eldridge Cleaver and other BPP members in a car. The group were stopped by two Oakland Police officers and had a confrontation. The two police officers were shot. Hutton and Cleaver fled to an apartment building where they engaged in a 90-minute gun battle with the Oakland Police Department. Some incoming bullets had also caught fire. Ultimately, Cleaver was wounded, and Hutton voluntarily surrendered to avoid getting burnt alive. According to Cleaver, although Hutton had stripped down to his underwear and had his hands raised in the air to prove that he was unarmed, Oakland Police shot the 17 year old Hutton more than 12 times, leading to his death. The Police report claimed that Hutton was attempting to run and was wearing a trench coat and his hands were not visible.

'BOONDOCKS' CREATOR: 10 PEOPLE CONTROL U.S. MEDIA
Big Brother has made clear he only wants you to get your news from him.
But who is Big Brother? That is British novelist George Orwell's name for the leader of a futuristic world without freedom. Orwell's (1903-50) dystopian world, as described in his novel, '1984' (published in 1949), has become a reality in the 21st century, as the mainstream media is in the grip of a few powerful billionaires sanctioned by the state to promote official narratives. At the same time, the US government has collaborated with tech giants to shut down alternative or independent voices shedding light on the truth. Just a few days ago, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube de-platformed African Stream because we allegedly violated community standards.
In this 2003 video clip, political cartoonist and creator of the TV series, 'The Boondocks,' Aaron McGruder, remarked on the censorship and distraction accompanying media consolidation.
Given the dire situation for the masses, who deserve to hear the truth, keeping anti-imperialist sources of information, like African Stream, afloat is crucial. If you believe in our mission, consider joining our Patreon and becoming part of the solution.
