We went out there and we got to arguing with the pigs or the pigs got to arguing-he said, 'Well, Chairman Fred, you supposed to be so bad, why dont you go and shoot some of those policemen? You always talking about you got your guns and got this, why dont you go shoot some of them?'Īnd I've said, 'you've just broken a rule. Now, let me show you how were gonna try to do it in the Black Panther Party here. This time, the people in the community went and got their shotguns, got their hammers, got their stop signs. Problems there they had accidents and death. Next time they had another four-way intersection. Placed those stop signs up, gave the shotgun to Bobby, told Bobby 'If anybody mess with us while were putting these stop signs up, protect the people and blow their brains out.' What did the people do? They observed it again. Huey went and got Bobby, went and got his 9mm, got his shotgun, got his hammer and got more stop signs. Next time, there was a similar situation, another four-way corner. But let me explain to you who the real heroes are. Huey Newton and Bobby Seale, no matter how bad they may be, cannot deal with the problem. That's not that good, you see, because its two people dealing with a problem. There were no more accidents, no more problem. Anybody mess with us, blow their brains out.' He put those stop signs up. Went down to the intersection, gave his shotgun to Bobby, and Bobby had his 9mm.

Newton got his shotgun and got some stop signs and got a hammer. Bobby Seale got his 9mm, that's a pistol. Huey Newton went and got Bobby Seale, the chairman of the Black Panther Party on a national level. So they tell you, they say, 'Okay niggers, what you want?' And they you jump up and you say, 'Well, it's been so long, we don't know what we want', and then you walk out of the meeting and you're gone and they say, 'Well, you niggers had your chance, didnt you?' Why dont you come back next meeting and waste some time?'Īnd they get you wound up in an excursion of futility, and you be in a cycle of insaneness, and you be goin' back and goin' back, and goin' back, and goin' back so many times that you're already crazy. That's what those degrees on the thermometer will get you. They've gotten a little hipper than that now. And they came back and the pigs said 'No! You can't have any.' Oh, they dont usually say you can't have it. There was an intersection, a four-way intersection a lot of people were getting killed, cars running over them, and so the people went down and redressed their grievances to the government. The community had a problem out there in California. Newton, the leader, the organizer, the founder, the main man of the Black Panther Party, went about it. If you don't have any practice, they you can't walk across the street and chew gum at the same time. Right? Because you can have as many degrees as a thermometer. And you know yourselves that there are people walking around your community today that have all types of degrees that should be at this meeting but are not here. Because with some things, you have to learn by seeing it or either participating in it. And even if they did, it wouldn't make any difference. You know a lot of us go around and joke ourselves and believe that the masses have PhDs, but that's not true. Basically, the way they learn is observation and participation. Let me give you an example of teaching people. A Speech By Fred Hampton POWER ANYWHERE WHERE THERES PEOPLE!
