The Black Panthers emerged from this gritty Northern California city (Oakland) 50 years ago, declaring to a nation in turmoil a new party dedicated to defending African-Americans against police brutality and protecting the right of a downtrodden people to determine their own future.

In the group’s short life, it launched an ambitious breakfast program for children and opened free health clinics to screen for sickle-cell anemia. At the same time, party members scared mainstream America with their calls for revolution that were at odds with Martin Luther King Jr.’s insistence on peaceful protest. […]

The anniversary comes as new tensions between black communities and law enforcement have given rise to another social-justice movement with Oakland ties — Black Lives Matter. …

Lest we forget...Guns supplied by Angela Davis. FBI screwed up the case and she walked.

And the Communist who paid her bail.

...when Seale and Huey P. Newton drafted the party's 10-point platform. The document called for decent housing and employment. It demanded black self-reliance.

False prophets - they gave blacks the exact opposite: victimhood, division and above all, dependence.

MLK was successful because he was a Christian preacher. Every speech he gave was basically a Christian sermon. He demanded his people follow Christ. He based his demands on the simple justice of the Bible and the Constitution, which he recognized as America's two founding documents. America responded in a huge way.

Looks like the FBI was politicized back then too.

...”In response, California lawmakers in 1967 repealed the law that allowed people to carry loaded weapons in public. The Panthers gained national attention when they carried guns into the state Capitol in protest.”...

Let’s not also forget the connection of the Chicago scum of the Weather Underground and Bill Ayers and company who organized, provided bombs and weapons and hid Davis. We know the rest of the story with coke and pot head Barry Soerto (aka Barrack Hussein Obama). Why Ayers is not in prison shows how absolutely, frighteningly stupid a good portion of our country is. From what I can gather, Ayers and the communist DNC slime basically handpicked Obama to continue in the spirit of anti-Americanism and Marxist terror. Romancing this from this author is not surprising for she is part of the vast amount of sheep who are permanently brainwashed: the useful idiots of the leftist cabal.
