Even though I don’t like showing videos made by people who hide their true identity, I am adding this video because it brings out some good points. I have only one problem: As usual, it seems that Mark’s name is rarely mentioned in these commentaries. It’s as if people don’t realize that he was also a leader who was murdered. It just goes to show that either there has been a deliberate attempt by the media to leave Mark out of the story, or, people really just don’t know his significance.

In regards to the commentator stating that the BPP were Communist, that is somewhat true. The BPP embraced a form of Communism under the Marxist philosophy better known as Maioism because it addressed the struggles of the oppressed. The BPP did not agree with Capitalism, which is the form of government that we are under here in America. They believed that we could never have social justice in America as long as we had Capitalism because the 5% at the top maintains their wealth by keeping others at the bottom. In truth, all forms of government have their pros and cons.
