Hate is a two-way street, its tarred road riddled with endless dead ends. Stumps where means have melted away bringing to life things leaning left beyond our wildest dreams. Forming chubby layers of viscous nature caked on our face so thick that no light cuts through its vast and volatile potential energy. Which according to paramedics sustained “injuries incompatible with life”. Thursday afternoon.
The Black Panther coloring book was a product of COINTELPRO, an FBI domestic program officially operating from 1956 to 1971. The program sought to discredit domestic political organizations using a wide range of tactics including illegal violence and assassination. The coloring books were sent to households across a broad socio and economic spectrum posing as teaching aids to promote the alleged values of The Black Panther Party. The books were intended to be met with fear and revulsion, thus discrediting the party in the minds of the broader public.
