“I myself, as a white man, I’ve got a long way to go and a lot to learn. I haven’t been in your place. I haven’t suffered the way you suffered. I’m just beginning to learn the nature of that experience. And somehow that has to be translated to the white community now. Time is running out for everybody. That’s enough. That’s enough talking.”
—Marlon Brando, speaking at the funeral of Bobby Hutton, the 17yr old Black Panther who was murdered by the Oakland police.

Bobby Hutton was the first treasurer of the Black Panther Party. Two days after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., Bobby and his friend were confronted by cops. Hutton surrendered and stripped down to his underwear to prove he was not carrying a gun. The police shot him 12 times.
