Capitalism Plus Dope Equals Genocide

by Michael "Cetewayo" Tabor

This pamphlet presents to you the writing of former Black Panther Party member Michael Cetewayo Tabor. It was written in 1969, when he was being framed in the New York Panther 21 case. Cetewayo, or "Get" as he was affectionately called, Was a shining example of the... "X" factor. He, like Malcolm, demonstrated powerfully that even the brother and sister off the block, the out-law, the welfare addict, the dope fiend, gangmember, etc. could shake off the chains of addiction and jungle mentality and change. THEY COULD ARISE OUT OF THE HELLFIRE INTO THE NEW ROLE MODEL OF THE PANTHER, THE DYNAMIC REVOLUTIONARY WHO SERVED THE PEOPLE IN THE QUEST FOR LIBERATION.

I picked this up in a little book fair in college mostly to practice writing bibliographical annotations (horrible English term for the far superior word "fichamento"), and while obviously it's not designed to be full blown academic reading considering it's a pamphlet, it was definitely an informative piece of text. It did end up sparking my interest in the Black Panther Party, which means hopefully I'll be reading a little more about them in the near future. Also understanding Cet's history with heroin explains a lot about the nature of this text and its tone.
