[History] What was the Black Panther party all about?

[Theodarzna]

Exactly, they were within their legal rights. It shouldn't matter if black or white.

If someone wants to be mad at getting the ball rolling in CA then start with the shit lords known as politicians.

To this day I am utterly surprised by the lack of interest in the black community as a whole to exercise their second amendment rights (or show any interest at all). One might argue they are the highest group on the totem poll that might need it.

As is pointed out, black people get gunned down by cops just for looking at the funny at this point. Any black person with a gun will be shot by the police in the streets like a common beast with rabbies or something.

Too much hyperbole. Sorry.

[Fang7986]

weren't they just T'Challa fan?

[antelope591]

And generally they get shot for pointing said toy guns at cops. I don't suspect pointing real guns at cops would result in any less regardless of race.

Well your entitled to your opinion.... I guess.

(btw I see you are on a role tonight in multiple threads. great bait mate)

Dont really feel like arguing semantics but regardless a black person in an open carry situation is treated extremely hostile, thats fact. Why would you excercise a right that sets you up for having a high chance of getting shot?

Who said anything about open carry.

I'm talking the second amendment in general.

The Free Breakfast for School Children Program was a community service program run by the Black Panther Party as an early manifestation of the social mission envisioned by founders Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale along with their founding of the Oakland Community School, which provided high-level education to 150 children from impoverished urban neighborhoods. Inspired by contemporary research about the essential role of breakfast for optimal schooling, the Panthers would cook and serve food to the poor inner city youth of the area. Initiated in January 1969 at St. Augustine's Church in Oakland, California, the program became so popular that by the end of the year, the Panthers set up kitchens in cities across the US, feeding over 10,000 children every day before they went to school.[1]

As depicted in the 2015 documentary The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution, it was Huey P. Newton, upon release from jail in 1970, who revitalized the breakfast program as a key social focus for the Panthers in Oakland; from exile in Algeria, Eldridge Cleaver protested that prioritizing the breakfast program diluted the true mission of the Black Panther Party, which Cleaver emphasized had to remain an "any means necessary" political opposition to U.S. government practices, thus concretizing a schism in the leadership of the Black Panther Party – into Cleaver vs. Newton factions – that led to its eventual demise.

I wonder if helped improve grades or even attendance?

There's a lot of things macho black men can do in the black community that skinny white dudes can't.

Racism is tool used by the elites to pit the middle class vs the poor. The elites never want those two groups to form an alliance because then they would both go after the elites. That is why out society is filled with symbols and reminders of racism -- in order to stokes the fires of hate between those two groups.

If the black panthers knew what they were doing, they would have stood outside the gates of the fancy mansions of the liberal elite slime that they holding them down in the society in the first place. But they didn't do that, so they only helped their true enemies.

The end of racism is when the poor black man and middle class white man join hands and go after the liberal elites in the hamptons and beverly hills. The elites win when the middle class and poor keep fighting each other.

Yeah..that's complete BS. In those days it would be rare and it was, to see a genuine middle class white person be on none tension based terms. And there were many many movement going after the elites at the time, but most of the time it excluded blacks, so they made thier own movements.

As for the info being linked here. The black panthers were a start of good, they tried to bring up and defend black communities, but as they kept getting met with walls if bullshit, they changed . Now most remember what one half changed into while forgetting what the half and it's purpose was for.

your hyperbole isn't based on one shred of truth and reality

Police kill more whites than blacks
An analysis released last week shows that more white people died at the hands of law enforcement than those of any other race in the last two years, even as the Justice Department, social-justice groups and media coverage focus on black victims of police force.

Only 15% of the US population is black or round abouts.

They're just far left Black Nationalists that had a lot of bad publicity in part due to a corrupt government that engaged in illegal actions against the group. The most impacting legacy the party has is one of defiant, anti-Capitalism in African-American communities.

The BPP is probably the strongest socialist exposure AAs have ever had- which through a series of chronic disenfranchisement and communal ignorance has led to AA communities not having as robust a grasp on Socialism as they should. Nonetheless, the most prominent force of Socialism in AA communities is/was from the BPP.

The BPP is pretty fragmented and disconnected nowadays. It doesn't mean a whole lot in contemporary living as greater media and communication forms eclipse 'grassroots' community activism in reach.

Cool story bro.

Now convert those numbers to proportions.

From your article:

The fact-checking website PolitiFact concluded in August 2014 that police kill more whites than blacks after the claim was made by conservative commentator Michael Medved. PolitiFact cited data from the Centers for Disease Control on fatal injuries by “legal intervention” from 1999 to 2011.

“Over the span of more than a decade, 2,151 whites died by being shot by police compared to 1,130 blacks. In that respect, Medved is correct,” said PolitiFact.

But PolitiFact gave his assertion a “half true” rating because whites make up 63 percent of the population, while blacks make up just 12 percent.

“Yes, more whites than blacks die as a result of an encounter with police, but whites also represent a much bigger chunk of the total population,” PolitiFact said in its Aug. 21 post.

Cool story bro.

Now convert those numbers to proportions.

Like the proportion that Blacks commit more then 50% of all violent crimes there for Blacks will have more confrontations with the police then Whites but Whites get shot more by the police then Blacks
those proportions?

Only 15% of the US population is black or round abouts.

but commit over 50% of violent crimes there for having larger number of confrontations with the police then Whites, but Whites still get shot more often

problem with that analysis population size is irrelevant what you would need to know which side has the most confrontations with the police and because Blacks commit over 50% of violent crimes they would have a larger number of confrontations with the police but whites still get shot more

Population size is absolutely relevant. If one population has significantly fewer members, but, proportionally, significantly more violent interactions with police, there is a problem.
