Historical figures you're down with.

Granted we'll never know the whole story to anyone from the past, but I find certain individuals to be inspiring.

I'm reading a book about Huey Newton right now, and this guy was awesome. He had convictions, which I greatly admire. When minorities were getting beaten like eggs and civil rights was still the movement, this guy was all about flexing the 2nd amendment.

I'll add some more when they come to mind, but this guy is mad legit.

He also got himself killed over a crack deal gone bad...Read "This Side Of Glory" by David Hilliard for a take on the man and the Black Panther Party by a brother who was there. I personally find Fred Hampton much more inspiring.

And, minorities (the current "whipping boys" which changes by the moment- take your pick) are still getting beaten like eggs-they just don't show it on TV anymore.
