Respect & Protect Black Power

Do you ever feel like Public Education in the U.S. is a training mechanism for you to be a worker for someone else? Let's talk about it! "The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all, it is simply to reduce as many as individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality." -H.L. Mencken "I don't want a nation of thinkers. I want a nation of workers." -John D. Rockefeller "The quality of education given to the lower class must be of the poorest sort, so that the moat of ignorance isolating the inferior class from the superior class is and remains incomprehensible to the inferior class. With such an initial handicap, even bright lower class individuals have little if any hope of extricating themselves from their assigned lot in life. This form of slavery is essential to maintain some measure of social order, peace, and tranquility for the ruling upper class." -Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars (Book) Website URL: https://respectprotectblackpower.com/public-educationmessage-between-the-liesnes/ Follow us: IG: @respectprotectblackpower Twitter: @RPBlackPower

Do you know what it means to be a threat to society? Take it from past revolutionaries that it is necessary for a change to occur! "A system can't change while you're watching it." -Escape Room (Movie) Rewind to a time when revolutionary legends were becoming powerful and were literally taken as a threat. The black power era was an era that white America did not want to transpire. Common revolutionaries were Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey, Huey Newton, Fred Hampton, Angela Davis, Assata Shakur, Elijah Muhammad, Stokely Carmichael, and the list goes on. J. Edgar Hoover considered The Black Panther Party “the greatest threat to internal security of the country.” The Panthers weren’t a threat because they were bad. They were a threat because they came in numbers, were organized, and also armed with a purpose. If we were to consistently maintain that threat, then the law would be forced to oblige to our needs and wants.

Why is history so important? More specifically why is your history important?
