      can you find anyother info, other than this card and that he briefly dated a communist at the age of 17? its part of the “tupac is alive” conspiracy theory that he was some kind of secret communist hellbent on taking over the government. its not true, alot of people in the panthers didn’t even know the black panthers were affiliated with communists.

          again he did not grow up in some revolutionary communist household, tupacs mother left the black panthers and struggled with crack addiction. Tupacs father was in the panthers, but tupac never knew him and his mother lied to him for most of his life about who his father was, and then even lied on his death certificate about it. Tupac had a very strained relationship with his mother to say the least. even this mystery girl he dated wasn’t some confirmed communist revolutionary, she was the daughter of the chairman of the communist party of Maryland. It’s just the most tenuous connections imaginable, I could probably connect Tupac to al queda easier. I should also say, I am a huge tupac fan and know for a fact none of his music references communism. Kanye West has praised communism more in his music, fucking loves Cuba for some reason
