Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers is a 1970 book by Tom Wolfe. The book, Wolfe's fourth, is composed of two essays: "These Radical Chic Evenings", first published in June 1970 in New York magazine, about a gathering Leonard Bernstein held for the Black Panther Party, and "Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers", about the response of many minorities to San Francisco's poverty programs. Both essays looked at the conflict between black rage and white guilt.[1]
...The Bernsteins' usual staff of white South Americans served the party.[4] Some of the Bernsteins' typical friends in the arts and guests in journalism (including Oscar-nominated director Otto Preminger and television reporter Barbara Walters) are labeled the "radical chic", as Wolfe characterizes them as pursuing radical ends for social reasons, partially because organizations like the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People had become mainstream.[1] Wolfe's criticism is implicitly of the general phenomenon of white guilt and armchair agitation becoming facets of high fashion.[5]
When Time magazine later interviewed a minister of the Black Panthers about Bernstein's party, the official said of Wolfe: "You mean that dirty, blatant, lying, racist dog who wrote that fascist disgusting thing in New York magazine?"[1]

^^^ oh look, one of the Commie Black Panther terrorists called Tom Wolfe a "fascist". How quaint.

Black Panthers co-founder Bobby Seale talks barbecue and the Black Panthers:
Labor Day Bobby-que - By Ben White

...(Interviewer): Werent Bobby Hutton and Minister of Information Eldridge Cleaver on their way to help out with a barbecue in 68 when they got into a shoot-out with police and Bobby Hutton and a policeman were killed?
Seale: Thats what Eldridge Cleaver said, that they were picking up stuff, because there was a barbecue fundraiser rally the next day or something like that. But Ive since found out that was a lie. That was just his slick little way of saying that they didnt ambush the cops, the cops shot at them. But in fact, I found out that they shot first at the cops. Martin Luther King had just gotten killed, so my problem there was trying to stop riots. In fact, I stopped all riots in the San Francisco Bay area. I didnt believe in riots. Thats flat, straight out. I was supposed to be going to Martin Luther Kings funeral, and Eldridge Cleaver took David Hilliard and four or five guys out and in effect they ambushed the cops, I have since found out. Thats really what happened. They got in a shoot-out situation, they got dispersed, they couldnt shoot, they werent trained, trying to run around and do some old guerilla b***s***. And you know, I always was p***ed off with them about that. Id had military training, and I knew the difference between a domestic-style situation and a military situation. And Eldridge just turned out to be a g**d*** anarchist, you know what I mean? But at any rate... bang, bang.
(Interviewer): So Eldridge and Hutton and those guys were just p***ed, and wanted to go get some?
Seale: Yeah, because Martin Luther King was killed. And Im saying all over the place, No rioting, were not going to do anything, blah blah blah. But they didnt listen to me.
(Interviewer): Actually, I also read where Minister of Defense Huey Newton wrote somewhere that in 1967, when he got shot and shot a cop, he was on his way to get barbecue in Oakland.
Seale: Thats a lie. He wasnt going to get no g**d*** barbecue. But Hueys situation was different. Frey, the police officer, really did try to kill Huey. Frey had ordered Huey to walk to the police vehicle. And Huey always recited the law. That was his strongest articulate advocacy point. Anytime a police officer moves a person from one spot to another, technically that person is under arrest. I ask you, Am I under arrest? I demand to know what Im being arrested for. So Huey stopped and turned around right in front of the police vehicle, and Frey had his gun out. Huey grabs at the gun, yknow-I had seen Huey do this before, when we got into a fight with police. So what happened is Frey pulls that trigger and shoots Huey right in the thigh. Now, Officer Heanes, the other police officer, the shot goes off, hes looking at Huey grabbing Frey, and hes trying to shoot Huey, but theyre rolling and moving. It was told in court that the first bullet that hit Officer Frey was from Heaness gun. This is the real situation. Huey hits the ground, and Huey pulls his own gun out and fires back at Heanes and wounds him. Huey shoots Frey more, because Frey is moving and not dead, and then falls down, because hes shot. The other guy, Gene McKinney, who had got out of the car and ran, came back and helped Huey get away from there. Huey wound up in the hospital, and thats where the police arrested him. Hueys situation was different from Eldridges.
(Interviewer): What was Eldridge like?
Seale: Eldridge was just a pure anarchist. He wanted to pull that Bakunin b***s*** off, you know what I mean? I mean, to show you what Im talking about, Eldridge put out a pamphlet called Catechism of a Revolutionary-this is after that shoot-out situation. This is a Black Panther Party Ministry of Information pamphlet. I had not read this ****, OK? I did not know it was all Bakunin, the 1800s anarchist. And Marlon Brando called me up, he said, Bobby! Im not going to send you any more money. Because Brando would give me money. I guess he must have donated ten grand to me. But he says, Im not gonna work with you guys any more. Youre running around telling people to kill their mother and father for the revolution. That aint right. I said, We dont do any such g**d*** thing, what the hells wrong with you, Marlon? Here on page so-and-so! Of what? He says, Your Catechism of a Revolutionary! So I says, Rosemary, hand me that out of my briefcase. I had the thing in my briefcase for two months and never read the damn thing because Im busy, Im organizing too much. So I got on page so-and-so, and hes reading, Kill their mothers and... and I says, Damn, Im sorry, man... He says, OK, Ill see you, bye-click. So I lost my funding source because of Eldridge Cleavers bull. Later in life, Im really taking the time to look at this and put two and two together. When I go back to speaking with Eldridge in 1992, we got a chance to get in various conversations. So Im asking Eldridge, you had Catechism of a Revolutionary. I remember you called Martin Luther King a nonviolent fool. Now youre a born-again Christian on the other side of the fence. So when Little Bobby Hutton was killed, were you operating from the standpoint of Catechism of a Revolutionary? He said, yeah, I was just stupid, I just thought we had to do something, boom boom boom.
(Interviewer): What does Catechism of a Revolutionary say, exactly?
Seale: Its based on Bakunin. He ran around and said kill officials of the government of all kinds, murder them, shoot them down in the street, blah blah blah. Kill the police and so on-anything that represents the state.
