The Black Of The Super Bowl

The Black Panther Party had a great deal of negative outlooks portrayed on them by not everyone, but more than half of the society. Without a doubt, the Black Panther Party addressed multiple situations with violent acts that implemented negativity towards them. The late Martin Luther King believed that he could obtain equality without having to use violence as a lament, instead the Black Panther’s believed that King’s non-violence movement had failed, and that violence was necessary to get through to the people who saw black communities and minority groups as insignificant. Although, the Black Panther Party only granted membership to African Americans, they weren’t anti-white, the Black Panther Party considered themselves

"The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense knew what they wanted. They were young. They were black. They couldn't be ignored. Their ten-point platform was just the beginning of an unforgettable period in the history of this nation's civil rights movement. By 1967 the Black Panthers had established themselves as a force to be reckoned with. Their ideas, their agenda, their fight for equality for African Americans, put these outspoken youth on the map of American politics." (Haskins) Almost 40 years ago, in 1966, Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale led a revolution that was driven in response to the oppression of black people. They sought to change that. Today, thanks to their fight for civil rights, extreme risks, and development of social needs,

The Black Panther Party formed as a result of Black Nationalism which came from a multitude of events that began to form decades before any mention of The Black Panther Party. To even begin to understand a group such as this, one must first attempt to grasp the historical context which lies behind them. Blake (1969) asserts that the initial onset began back in 1619 when the first of the colonial settlers accepted a number of captured Africans which were to be used as servants leading to the period of slavery which serves as a sore spot in this country 's history. One of the primary streams of thought behind this idea of Black Nationalism can be summed up as the hypocrisy felt by African-Americans during the era of slavery as well as after it 's end. These are a race of people characterized by their looks and were not given the same rights within the society, yet at the same time, were expected to meet the standards of “regular” citizens within the country creating that sense of inferiority.

Founded on October 15th 1966 in Oakland, California, the Black Panther Party for Self Defense was an organization opposed to police brutality against the black community. The Party’s political origins were in Maoism, Marxism, and the radical militant ideals of Malcolm X and Che Guevara. From the doctrines of Maoism they saw the role of their Party as the frontline of the revolution and worked to establish a unified alliance, while from Marxism they addressed the capitalist economic system, and exemplified the need for all workers to forcefully take over means of production (Baggins, Brian). Mao was important to the Black Panthers because of his different stance on Marxism-Leninism when applied to Chinese peasants. The founders of the Black

The Black Panthers were an African American rebellious party that was founded in Oakland, California in the year of 1966. Huey Percy Newton and Bobby Seale were two organizers of the Panthers. Newton “saw himself as a revolutionary in his opposition to oppression and discrimination.” (Blake 248) Both Newton and Seale were in prison around the time that they created The Black Panthers. They sensed that violence was the only choice they had to get what they want. The Panthers usually set guards in the black communities to look out for police brutality and protected the people living there. The larger culture that the Black Panthers stood against is that of political and social domination. The Black Panthers wanted equal rights and opportunities. “Working class people of all colors must unite against the exploitative, oppressive ruling class. Let me emphasize again — we believe our fight is a class struggle, not a race struggle.” stated Bobby Seale. Bobby Seale felt like the issue was not about the race but more about the level they were at, at that time.

I attended the 50 Years of the Black Panther Party on November 14. Black Panther is an African American revolutionary party. Blacked Panther formed in Oakland, California, by Huey Newton and Bobby Seale. As a result of police brutality against African Americans in the 60s Huey Newton and Bobby Seale established this group. Patrol the police was the main reason that they started this group. Black Panther got bigger every year, and now after almost 60 years they are one of the leading movements for human rights. Thanks to Black Panther there is other movements with analogy beliefs.

According to Benjamin Quarles, Black revolutionary nationalists are not against using violence to receive their wants; the group also has a purpose of reconstructing America’s errors (Quarles, 103). With this in mind, it is easy to see that the Black Panthers simply saw an unjust in the world and was determined to help ensure it was corrected. Not only were the Black Panthers for the unity of America, but they were the voice of the oppressed. The Black Panthers even had goals/desires for the African American community and this included a ten point plan to reach the goals. According to The History Learning Site, “The Black Panther Party (BPP) had four desires: equality in education, housing, employment and civil rights” (The History Learning Site). Their ten point plan ensured that all of the goals would be met. Some of the ten points touched on police brutality, free health care, education that teaches true Black History, and the end of war. Their ten point plan offered conditions that were not similar to a violent hate group, but to a concerned political

The Black Panthers [also known as] (The Black Panther Party for Self Defense) was a Black Nationalist organization in the United States that formed in the late 1960s and became nationally renowned. (Wikipedia:The Free Encyclopedia, 1997).

In the chapter that we read, the author described the role that the press and media played on the Black Panthers’ existence. At first, the press portrayed the Black Panthers as a very violent group of people who were being disruptive in the communities. However, after the death of Martin Luther King Jr. and Bobby Hutton, the press shifted the way they talked about the Panthers in a way that helped the White American community understand what the Black Panthers were about. They weren’t just people with rifles who wanted revenge against law enforcement; they wanted real change. This book was more interesting to read because of the way that the author presented the arguments she made. I don’t feel like she was biased towards or against the Black Panthers. In addition, she had more in depth information and analysis of the newspapers and how they portrayed the Black Panthers. The Oakland Tribune had an important role when it came to framing the Black Panthers. A good example of this is by portraying them as “just another black criminal." (Rhodes 118). By calling someone a criminal, people usually start to have a negative opinion towards the person it was directed to. The way that many of the newspapers worded their articles made the Black Panthers seem dangerous. This is a direct influence to the way people portrayed the Black Panthers. The book was my favorite source to get

“One of the reasons I connect to the Super Bowl is that I approach my shows like an athlete” (Beyoncé, 2016). On Sunday, February 7th, 2016 the NFL Super Bowl 50 was hosted where the Panthers played against the Broncos. The halftime show was headlined by Coldplay, with special guest performers Beyonce and Bruno Mars. Beyonce took over the stage and with her performance the female singer was trying to make a serious political statement. At the halftime show, Beyoncé sang her most recent song called “Formation”, and it captured everyone's attention with her performance and was called out racist. Also the music video made a political issue that is now being charged.

During the Civil Rights Movement many people were fighting against the oppression of blacks. In today's world, in the U.S., civil rights aren’t as big as it was in the 1950s and 60s. Then blacks were treated differently in a public setting. More specifically there was a great deal or police brutality. The Black Panthers fought against police brutality by walking the streets openly carrying weapons. The Black Panthers were an important group in the Civil Rights Movement.

The Black Panthers, were they viewed as a pack rather than an association, Huey Newton and Bobby Seale established the dark pumas in October in Oakland California. The pumas honed aggressor self preservation for the groups that were against the U. S. government and they battled to accomplish progressive communism, the were actived from 1966 until 1982. The pumas got to be known and the legislature expected that they were a risk to the United States, this gathering framed to make a beter spot to live in their group yet evenwith all the positvie things that the gathering needed to do they wound up dibanded in 1982, The gathering was known for their rough ways and this called for disagreement with the administration The FBI felt that the panters were a danger and there fore they established approaches to make question among the individuals who wer in control. Youngsters saw something in being a piece of this gathering and that it was an approach to battle bigotry. they speak to these children as supporting their group yet it lead to individuals getting execute and others imprisoned and having the legislature attack their lives on account of trepidation, People need to have a place with something and have a place some place and that is on account of they don't feel the affection in there home or they possibly socially awkward.

The documentary opened my mind to a new perspective of the 1960’s- 1970’s. Before watching this documentary I thought that the era was filled with militant black panthers that were luding and rioting left and right. However, that was not the case at all when it came to the movement of that time. The leading influencers of the time used their words to have a powerful impact on the people to elicit change.

Moreover, the Super Bowl is one of the most anticipated events of each year in the United States because National Football League (NFL) fans patiently await the outcome of two teams about to compete for the National Championship title. Although the winner of the Super Bowl is usually the most important part of the game, the New England Patriots’ victory was not the highlight of the game in this particular Super Bowl. In the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show, where Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake shared the stage, an incident occurred at the end of their performance. Jackson had a wardrobe malfunction in which her right breast was exposed to all of the viewers of Super Bowl XXXVIII. This scandal caused a media frenzy throughout the entire

“I think the most beautiful art is usually misunderstood,” Beyoncé stated in an interview with Elle magazine after her controversial performance at the Super Bowl this past February. Beyoncé released her sixth individual album, Lemonade, on April 23, 2016, which has songs showing her support for the Black Lives Matter movement and in favor of criminal justice and policing reform through lyrics and visual symbolism in her music videos and performances. Beyoncé delivers a Grammy-nominated album with songs such as “Formation” and “Freedom” that point out the slanted relationships between black men and women and police officers through the War on Drugs, racial profiling, mass incarceration, and policing policies. With her Super Bowl, VMA, and BET award show performances, Beyoncé and her backup dancers dresses, choreography, and other visual elements that give nods towards the Black Power Movement. The links between music and political change make a statement that the time is now for people to speak out against racial injustice and to get “in formation.”
