Black Panther Party
For my second video I decided to watch “The Man Who Armed The Panthers”. The video was very direct and went into detail about a guy name Richard Aoki. He was arming the Black Panthers with guns and would also offer training. Although seen as a big help to this organization there were rumors spreading around that he might be an informant for the FBI. A former FBI agent had claimed that Richard was working for him to obtain information for the FBI on the black panthers. Richard was interviewed and asked about his involvement which he denied any relations to working with the FBI at the time. It is still unclear to me which side was Richard on. If he was working for the FBI why would he offer to help the Black Panthers and offer guns. What I found interesting is that Richards name was on the list of informants but the FBI claimed they had no files on Richard himself…? I believe that the FBI is withholding information on Aoki because they know something “deeper” about Aoki’s double life. Sadly but interesting enough Richard took his own life on March 15,2009 and had the Black Panthers suit neatly pressed out on his bed.
Judas and the Black Messiah
While watching the film I immediately knew it was going to be a good movie because it had some of my favorite actors like Daniel Kaluuya and LaKeith Standfield. As I was watching the film I noticed some of the characters based of the articles we have read before. I was so amazed at how spot of the characters were and also the set. It makes you you feel like you are traveling back in time. The costumes and set designs help tell the story well in my opinion. I feel like when bill was initially asked to help out the FBI it was a good way of taking the audience through the story. While enjoying the movie I also learned some new things about the Black Panther Party. I didn’t know that they would meet with other groups for example when the black panther party meets with the Young Patriots and the Puerto Rican group Young Lords to try to work together. This is something that I didn’t know about because nun of the articles mention it. Another thing I learned was that they blew up the Black Panther Party office building. This made me mad because it just shows the hatred they had for people of color who just wanted equal rights and justice against police brutality.

Interview question
Hi, I’m Maggie Lin. I’m a freshman majoring in accounting. I’m introverted and I will only talk to people who I know. I like to spend most of my time alone watching Chinese and Korean dramas. I was born in brooklyn but grew up in china and at the age of eight I came back to America. I speak Chinese most of the time and I’m a very unconfident person.
I spoke to Jing. We were in the same English and politics class last semester. We both like to spend our time mostly alone and we both are introverted people. We both like to drink bubble milk tea and we like to read Chinese books more.

My name is Jing Wang. I’m a freshman at Baruch and my intended major is CIS. I like to enjoy the time by myself. Since my family owned a restaurant, a lot of my time was spent in the restaurant. And now I have school work and all, the time to myself is limited. Therefore, an ideal day for me is to have a day all to myself. I could wake up at any time I want. Then I could do things like reading and watching anime. As for lunch, I can cook myself noodles and maybe order some desserts(I love bubble tea and cakes!). Afterward, I would like to continue with my anime and just have fun.
I spoke to Jianping Chen(Alan). We knew each other from last semester. During the time that we are together, Alan seems like an introvert, but once you get to know him, he is really talkative. We talked a lot about anime, like the setting, the thoughts on it and recommended anime to each other. He was also a fan of Piano music and relaxing music. He strongly recommended the music by Mili.

Hello everyone, my name is Jianping Chen, and feel free to call me Alan. I am now a freshman majoring in CIS. I am introverted, so if you see me not looking into your eyes during the conversation or walking down the hallway without eye contact, trust me, I whisper hello a thousand times deep in my heart. I am trying my best to become a cheerful extrovert, at least I am trying my best to pretend I am. I like to hear relaxing piano music and I strongly recommend the music group, Mili, their music is the best!
I interviewed Jing Wang for the interview question, she is also a freshman majoring in CIS. She likes to spend her money on the desert, and she likes to share snakes with her friends. She always gives others the illusion that she owns a snake store. She was also a big fan of anime, her favorite anime was Akame ga KILL! She can’t express how much she loves that anime.

Interview Question
Hello fellow classmates, my name is Ethan Jusino. I did not have the pleasure of being there in class on the 25th because I was burying my grandmother ( rest her soul). I am now going to be attending class.
I did unfortunately forget who I was talking to as it has been a couple of days but I do remember being asked what was my most prized physical possession and to me it is my PS5. I know it sounds corny but during my life time it allows me to escape my reality for a little but. It also helps me manage time because I know how long I’ve been on it do to a timer I can pull up on it.
As for my partner I believe they said their phone , I unfortunately do not remember why.
