I have to applaud the talent and strength this little girl has. She definitely is aware of the events that still ring true in reality today. Although this is hard hitting I don't as a child following the Black Panther way of thought she too just acknowledges theinjustice and of course her words are angry. Pointing out the racism is the thing I think people can't deal with. For anyone (media/opposing viewers) to blame a 7 year old for being racist they as adults in the big wide world andnot addressingit is unfair.

If this causes enough stir for people to say what isn't or shouldn't be the case, then I just hope it will also make people start or continue to replaceand dealwith what is and can be the case.

From what I've learned about the Black Panthers the focus was about equality, justice and most of all ACTION!

“If people around you aren't going anywhere, if their dreams are no bigger than hanging out on the corner, or if they're dragging you down, get rid of them. Negative people can sap your energy so fast, and they can take your dreams from you, too.”
