I have indeed ... Burt Lancaster. :)

As to the Panthers and Oakland, well ... Chinese influence there. Add to that the California gun thing and the brutality in the community at the time, made perfect sense. "Know the law, know yourself." And before things got stupid, they knew the law inside out and played right to the edge of the rules. That takes some smarts. And what they did for the community itself. Oakland was a hellhole. They did something about it, and like it or not, the weapon thing was about the only thing that kept Huey and company from getting beaten like everybody else. Extreme yes, but clearly necessary at the time. It's not like they were gangbangers like Compton. :)

LOL at Jerry Brown taking it on, he actually did some good there as mayor himself. And I have to agree. Back in 2008 I too was hoping some of the shit was past us all, but leave it to the conservatards to just keep banging on that "Southern strategy drum."

Take heart though in the fact that aside from the way idiots are paying it, SOME things have improved and there's a lot more awareness than there used to be. It's been slow as hell, but it IS happening. Have some faith in the kids coming up today - what we had to deal with isn't the lay of the land with them. Encourage wisdom, bro! :)
