The racist dog policemen must withdraw immediately from our communities, cease their wanton murder and brutality and torture of black people, or face the wrath of the armed people.

More quotes by Huey Newton
White America has seen to it that Black history has been suppressed in schools and in American history books. The bravery of hundreds of our ancestors who took part in slave rebellions has been lost in the mists of time, since plantation owners did their best to prevent any written accounts of uprisings.
Huey Newton
To die for the racists is lighter than a feather, but to die for the people is heavier than any mountain and deeper than any sea.
Huey Newton
I have the people behind me and the people are my strength.
Huey Newton
The neighbors were more than neighbors [on Cuba]. They were like part of the family.
Huey Newton
We have to realize our black heritage in order to give us strength to move on and progress. But as far as returning to the old African culture, it's unnecessary and it's not advantageous in many respects. We believe that culture itself will not liberate us. We're going to need some stronger stuff.
Huey Newton
The revolution has always been in the hands of the young. The young always inherit the revolution.
Huey Newton
I would like to say that racial attitude and prejudice are probably here...It is very difficult to act this out - discrimination - discrimination is an act. After you have the prejudices, the disciminations come out, if there is an institution for it but the Cubans have attempted to create institutions free of discrimination.
Huey Newton
I think generally speaking, both people are trying to be free from the abuses of the white racist North American authorities. I think that's the one common denominator. The Cubans found a way to liberate themselves and we haven't found the way yet. So that's the difference.
Huey Newton
We [Panthers] have not said much about the homosexual at all, but we must relate to the homosexual movement because it is a real thing. And I know through reading, and through my life experience and observations that homosexuals are not given freedom and liberty by anyone in the society. They might be the most oppresed people in the society.
Huey Newton
Sometimes if you want to get rid of the gun, you have to pick the gun up.
Huey Newton
The United States is already antique.
Huey Newton
Let us go on outdoing ourselves a revolutionary man always transcends himself or otherwise he is not a revolutionary man, so we always do what we ask of ourselves or more than what we know we can do.
Huey Newton
There is a very strong socialist movement in Jamaica. I was in Jamaica years ago. All the talk, all day they talk politics. The literacy rate is very low. Everyone is so interested in politics, more than those who can read in the United States.
Huey Newton
I'm not ruling. I never ruled. I have one vote and I'm the leader of the party. I've always had a vote on the central committee. I always had more influence than that one vote. I'll admit that.
Huey Newton
Too many so-called leaders of the movement have been made into celebrities and their revolutionary fervor destroyed by mass media. They become Hollywood objects and lose identification with the real issues. The task is to transform society only the people can do that
Huey Newton
The policemen or soldiers are only a gun in the establishments hand. They make the racist secure in his racism.
Huey Newton
I know sociologically that words, the power of the word, words stigmatize people.
Huey Newton
I do not think that life will change for the better without an assault on the Establishment, which goes on exploiting the wretched of the earth.
Huey Newton
If you stop struggling, then you stop life.
Huey Newton
I expected to die. At no time before the trial did I expect to escape with my life. Yet being executed in the gas chamber did not necessarily mean defeat. It could be one more step to bring the community to a higher level of consciousness.
Huey Newton
