Bobby Seale

To develop political and economic power in a capitalist society, you need capital.

I like Barack Obama.

Money is the medium of exchange, and it's how you make things happen. To say you hate it is some farfetched, idealistic crap.

You can't call yourself a university and exclude whole ethnic groups.

I am not a hoodlum. I'm a community organizer.

The Black Panther Party were not revenge nationalists.

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.

Electoral politics was always an objective of the Black Panther party, so Barack Obama is a part of what we dreamed and struggled and died for.

You don't fight racism with racism, the best way to fight racism is with solidarity.
