Text Quotes
You can’t call yourself a university and exclude whole ethnic groups  (Bobby Seale Quotes) I am not a hoodlum. I’m a community organizer  (Bobby Seale Quotes) There’s nothing wrong with being a cop. There’s nothing wrong with being a white person. It’s about where your heart is... We’ve got to get everyone beyond the xenophobic isolationism  (Bobby Seale Quotes) They came down on us because we had a grass-roots, real people’s revolution, complete with the programs, complete with the unity, complete with the working coalitions, where we crossed racial lines.  (Bobby Seale Quotes) Money is the medium of exchange, and it’s how you make things happen. To say you hate it is some farfetched, idealistic crap.  (Bobby Seale Quotes) I’m going to have to call up Spike Lee. I did a cameo for him in ‘Malcolm X,’ and I’m trying to get him to do my life story and the history of the Black Panther Party.  (Bobby Seale Quotes) The FBI’s Counter-Intelligence Program would work hand-in-hand with police departments, literally planning attacks on Black Panther Party offices throughout the United States of America. They did this over a period of time.  (Bobby Seale Quotes) When donors visited the Black Panther Party, they came and saw our real programs, a real clinic, with real doctors and medics, giving service to people.  (Bobby Seale Quotes) The Black Panther Party was not a gang. They grew out of a young black intelligentsia on college campuses.  (Bobby Seale Quotes) If they had not murdered Malcolm X, there probably never would have been a Black Panther Party  (Bobby Seale Quotes) The first point was we wanted power to determine our own destiny in our own black community. And what we had done is, we wanted to write a program that was straightforward to the people. We didn’t want to give a long dissertation.  (Bobby Seale Quotes) Being so closely related to the South, barbecue was part of segregation and helped defeat it  (Bobby Seale Quotes) My father was a master carpenter and builder. Architectural design, engineering design, mechanical design, three-dimensional views, that was my shtick, my forte.  (Bobby Seale Quotes) Fox News never calls up Bobby Seale to articulate a stance in opposition to right-wing conservatives. To me, giving the New Black Panthers a platform on Fox is a subtle tactic to scare people  (Bobby Seale Quotes) We jumped into the protest of Vietnam before the Black Panther Party ever started, before the Black Panther Party was even thought of. In fact, it was late 1965 and 1966 that the anti-Vietnam War, anti-draft to the Vietnam War protest started at University of California, Berkeley  (Bobby Seale Quotes) All I did in Chicago was to exercise my legal right to speak on my own behalf and I was given four years in jail as a result. But I think the most serious injustice perpetrated by the court system in America is the inability of a black man to get a jury of his peers  (Bobby Seale Quotes) I still want my right to defend myself. A railroad operation, and you know it, from Nixon on down. They got you running around violating my constitutional rights  (Bobby Seale Quotes) I’m still a political revolutionary. The fire never went out of me, but perceptions and realizations change  (Bobby Seale Quotes) You can jail a revolutionary, but you cannot jail the revolution  (Bobby Seale Quotes) To develop political and economic power in a capitalist society, you need capital  (Bobby Seale Quotes) We don’t hate nobody because of their color. We hate oppression!  (Bobby Seale Quotes) The only solution to pollution is a people’s humane revolution!  (Bobby Seale Quotes) On the one hand, the guns were there to help capture the imagination of the people. But more important, since we knew that you couldn’t observe the police without guns, we took our guns with us to let the police know that we have an equalizer  (Bobby Seale Quotes) Money is the medium of exchange, and it’s how you make things happen. To say you hate it is some farfetched, idealistic crap  (Bobby Seale Quotes) The people have now come to realize that the only way to deal with the oppressor is to deal on our own terms and this was done  (Bobby Seale Quotes) We were not talking about the average white person: we was talking about the corporate money rich and the racist jive politicians and the lackeys, as we used to call them, for the government who perpetuate all this exploitation and racism  (Bobby Seale Quotes) A people who have suffered so much for so long at the hands of a racist society must draw the line somewhere  (Bobby Seale Quotes) Our position was: If you don’t attack us, there won’t be any violence; if you bring violence to us, we will defend ourselves  (Bobby Seale Quotes) You don’t fight racism with racism, the best way to fight racism is with solidarity  (Bobby Seale Quotes) We were like heroes, to stand there and observe the police, and the police were scared to move upon us  (Bobby Seale Quotes)
