### - understanding + appreciating black history isn't easy for the white
man, steeped, as he is, in a would-view entirely of his own?
perforce one has to start somewhere, some in-road has to be discovered
into that alternate history, a history that ultimately + necessarily
involves everyone, both black & white, and therefore actually applies to
all when it comes to things like civil rights and civil liberties in what
is ostensibly a overly authoritarian and repressive society...
there's lots of potential inroads, dozens of them in fact, but no matter
where you start-in on it and from whatever angle, it all ends up the same eventually as an overall picture & concept eventually emerges to tie all
the seemingly loose ends together: one thus arrives at an understanding of
why this is important + actually about everyone and not just the blacks
alone!
and 'this' (a potted history of the black panther movement) is a pretty
good intro + in-road to that same coveted understanding that's kinda
difficult (but not impossible) to understand...

as much as i can, i'm gonna start right now, to inform white
people about what they don't know..."
