  "They look cool," being their "enduring legacy," is the most porcelain thing I've ever heard to describe the Panthers. 😂😂

  I’m noticing that you all identify Kwamé Turé as “Stokely Carmichael” and curious about why and what that means for this publication.

  Hope people don&apos;t mind me telling this story. It&apos;s from my mom who lived in Spanish Harlem. In mid-1967 she was starting to hear about these Hippies and then at a local hangout, she saw a couple with Afros and Dashikis. When she asked them if they were Hippies they got really upset. &nbsp;😡 <br><br>Nothing happened thankfully since this was a restaurant and a shared space for both communities. She did get her first Black Power speech and never associated Afros and Dashikis with the Hippies again. Funny thing, I can only imagine how many Hippie celebrities would&apos;ve loved to copy those looks.

  &quot;Extreme Views&quot; aka, capitalism is THE problem. Not ever said once. <br><br>You can&apos;t say what Kuwame Ture said, you can&apos;t even say the name he wanted to go by. Extreme is the status quo, wanting things to make sense is only extreme when you&apos;re the one on the fringe.
