Read the following excerpt from a speech delivered by Huey P. Newton, co-founder of the Black Panther Party, in 1970:
"We say that the world today is not a world of nations... The United States is no longer a nation; it is an empire. Its power is global, and it dominates all the oppressed communities of the world... Therefore, we must move beyond the concept of simple black nationalism to a philosophy of revolutionary intercommunalism. We must recognize that we are part of a global network of oppressed communities that must cooperate to dismantle this imperialist structure from within."
Based on the excerpt, which of the following best explains how this shift in the Black Panther Party's ideology reflects the broader evolution of the Black Power movement?
- It demonstrates how the movement expanded its focus from domestic racial self-determination to a global anti-imperialist critique that aligned Black liberation with international decolonization struggles.Cevap
- BIt illustrates a move away from economic self-reliance toward a rejection of all non-Black political alliances, viewing global imperialism as a unified white conspiracy.
- CIt represents a rejection of community-based survival programs in favor of establishing a separate, sovereign Black nation-state outside the boundaries of the United States.
- DIt shows how Black Power leaders abandoned the principle of armed self-defense in order to form coalitions with mainstream federal anti-poverty initiatives.
