Seale, who is now a lecturer, author and barbeque sauce entrepreneur, also pointed out that the Panthers have been misrepresented as focusing solely on black power to the exclusion of other marginalized groups. “A lot of people misunderstood the Black Panther Party’s position,” he said. “We had working coalitions with every ethnic group, anybody who was oppressed. We didn’t care whether you were white, black, blue, red, green, yellow or polka dot. What we really cared about was where your heart, mind, and soul where at, whether you supported human liberation in America and all over the world.”
