Well shucks, The Black Panther Party was just a misunderstood St Jude

The most radical thing the Black Panthers did was feed children
quote:
Former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover described the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense as "the greatest threat to internal security of the country" in an official memo in 1969
quote:
A lesser-known fact about that quote is that the Panthers were considered a "threat" because they used to give free breakfast to children.

Just FYI-the Black Panthers killed a few dozen people . Mostly on The West Coast. They also "disappeared" a lot of people from their own ranks. But hooray for free breakfast. Free breakfast rocks.

If I can recollect the history well, I believe that there WAS a wing of the Black Panther Party that truly wanted to do only peaceful things like feed children, raise awareness, promote black-owned businesses and encourage fellow black people to do positive things. This was the true meaning of "Black Power". To this wing, any violence would only come in legitimate self-defense. No violent intimidation or violent attacks of any kind for this wing of the Panthers.
THEN a more violent element took over the Party. Huey Newton was a ringleader of this wing. Huey was a regular criminal who had no interest in helping anybody's "community" but the "community" of Huey Newton himself. Huey's sociopathic violent nature influence the path of the Panthers and completely ruined any chance that the Panther Party would be a peaceful advocate for the black community. The meaning of Black Power was changed from something peaceful and constructive to one of violent revolution.

They were a bunch of JV players who obviously could not hold a candle to the Klan.

Nice, they quote a book about a government official saying they fed more than the government but it's an unnamed official. Top notch journalism there.

Literally if you goto The Black Panther website, they want America to give them their own land. Also, want all blacks in prison to be freed and they will trial them in their new land America should give them. Also, no whites are allowed in that land. Cant make this shite up.

Difference is most white people view the klan as trash. I don't think blacks view the black panthers as trash.
Posted on 3/19/16 at 10:51 am to LSUTANGERINE
Who's killed more people since the BPs were started? The klan or them?

On May 18, Rackley was forcibly brought to the headquarters of the New Haven chapter of the Black Panthers at 365 Orchard Street, which was also the residence of Warren Kimbro, a New Haven Panther. In the bedroom normally occupied by Kimbro's seven-year-old daughter,[3] Rackley was tied to the bed and questioned under torture. The principal method of torture was the pouring of boiling water over his torso, shoulders, and thighs.
Finally, after two days of this treatment, according to witnesses, Rackley confessed to the accusations. The veracity of his confession has never been confirmed. Late on the night of the 20th, Rackley was removed, still alive, from the apartment by Sams, Kimbro, and a third Panther, Lonnie McLucas, of Bridgeport, Connecticut. The men borrowed a car from one of their supporters and drove Rackley to the marshy wetlands of nearby Middlefield. On Sams's orders, Kimbro shot Rackley in the head, and McLucas shot him again, in the chest. They dumped the body in the Coginchaug River and left.[4

Wonder how many white, Asian or hispanic kids were fed through this benevolent program.

Do you really want me to post the atrocities committed by the Klan? Because I am off for the next 72 hours. Like I said, JV or 8th grade team to the Klan.

Tit for tat, The Black Panthers couldn't keep up with The Klan. They could have gotten up earlier and worked harder at their killing and terrorizing. But they were always in and out of prison and strung out on drugs and dabbling with Marxist ideology and an Authoritarian power structure. The Klan being redneck farm boys had the big advantage there. They could kill and maim and blow up Churches full of school girls and be back at work the next morning and have dinner with their families later that night.

Just give them a big arse island and send all that want to go there including all of the prisoners who are so wrongly prosecuted. Make sure it is at least 5 miles from land since most can't swim, we would never have to see them again. We would save money by not having prisons overcrowded and get rid of the trash that we don't need. We could even split the island in two parts using a big 20' wall and put the Klan on the other side and film the whole thing. Gets rid of a shite load of trashy people all at once.

Well now they stand outside polling places with baseball bats. Enough of a threat for me to shoot their arse.

If by JV, you're implying that they didn't have the intelligence of their white counterparts, and were doomed only because of their ignorance, then I concede, you're right. They failed not due to desire, but they simply weren't as smart as the clan. They were JV.
You're right.
