DEVELOP AND DEFEND BLACK YOUTH: ARE WE OUR WORST ENEMY

TO DEVELOP AND DEFEND BLACK YOUTH:

The New Black Panther for Self-Defense recognizes the good qualities and leadership potential in Black youth. We seek to help them to become leaders and defenders of our community.   The future of our nation depends on this so-called lost generation.  The history of the liberation struggle shows us Black youth at the forefront.  We excitedly welcome Black youth into our ranks. We call for an end to gang violence and an end to Black on Black violence in general.  We demand, locally, billions of dollars in reparations specifically for the salvation and education of our young people. Every Black youth or able-bodied person in this city and region should be afforded a proper education and reasonable job at a good wage after the robbery of our people for over 400 years. We demand an immediate end to the wholesale incarceration and criminalization of Black youth. We invite Black college student participation and affirm continuity in struggle through youth!
