Kanye West’s father, Ray West, was also a member of the Black Panther Party in the 60s and 70s. Originally founded by college students Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale, the party was at its height from 1966 to 1982.
The details regarding Ray’s involvement with the party are undisclosed. Since the group was known for its brutal ideologies like anti-fascism, anti-imperialism, anti-racism, anti-capitalism, black pride & power, and black nationalism, we can assume Ray was also into such beliefs.
