As far as I know the Black Panther’s history doesn’t include rousing people out of their houses in the middle of the night, burning people out of said houses down and shooting the people as they attempted to flee the flames. The Black Panthers also did not go around lynching people as the KKK was known to do.
Thank you for your comment. One can’t compare the Black Panthers to the second iteration of the Klan.
1960s : (SOME BLACK PANTHERS MEMBERS ON TRIAL ESCAPE BY TAKING THE JUDGE HOSTAGE-- See ANGELA DAVIS, WEATHER UNDERGROUND) ...A lot of folks here have never heard of Angela Davis: an avowed communist,and member of the Black Panthers. In the late 60's, she was charged with complicity,after a group of Panthers,who were on trial,escaped from court by taking the judge hostage at gunpoint.(As memory serves,they taped the barrel of a shotgun to his head or neck.) The judge was killed,along with 2 others-one of whom was one of the escapees. The guns used were traced back to Angela Davis,and she "went to earth",but was captured in NYC in 1970 (?). She was found not guilty,made a trip to Russia to thank her avid supporters there,then moved (where else ?) to California,where she became a college professor (!) She's in great demand on campuses around the country as a speaker on "womens' issues",is involved in anti-war groups,etc. (You know the drill !) You'll have do do some heavy duty searching to turn up anything negative on the net,as the media have not only sanitized her,they have practically made her a saint. 9 posted on 03/30/2005 7:18:23 AM PST by genefromjersey

FEBRUARY 17, 1968 : (FUTURE DEM CONGRESSMAN RON DELLUMS DELIVERS SPEECH AT PARTY FOR BLACK PANTHER "MINISTER OF DEFENSE" COPKILLER HUEY NEWTON) Ronald V. Dellums delivered the keynote address at a birthday party for Black Panther Minister of Defense Huey Newton, who had been convicted of killing a policeman. ******************* On February 17, 1968, Dellums delivered the keynote address at a birthday party for Black Panther Minister of Defense Huey Newton, who had been convicted of killing a policeman. The next year, 348 Panthers were arrested for such serious crimes as murder, armed robbery, rape, bank robbery, and burglary. Party leaders openly called for the assassination of President Richard Nixon, and the FBI determined the Panthers to be "the most notorious and dangerous of current militant groups." But the Panthers’ appalling record of violence did not cause Dellums to turn his back on them. During his 1970 campaign for Congress Dellums openly endorsed the Panthers. . . .During his election campaign of 1970, Dellums held on to his regular supporters and also acquired new ones, including Communist Jessica Milford, Sargent Shriver of the Kennedy dynasty, and the AFL-CIO’s hatchet-crew, the Committee on Political Education (COPE). . .Dellums has been affiliated with the ultra-leftist Soledad Brothers Defense Committee; the ultra-leftist National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam; the ultra-leftist Community for New Politics in Berkeley; the ultra-leftist National Peace Action Coalition. He endorsed the Hanoi-inspired People’s Peace Treaty. Dellums was a founding member, along with labor-agitator Cesar Chavez, of the Tom Hayden and "Hanoi Jane" Fonda Campaign for Economic Democracy (CED). CED was funded with taxpayer money via VISTA grants to train "community" organizers, the New Left’s expansionist vehicle emanating from the teachings of Saul Alinsky, fund raiser for the Communists’ International Brigade in the Spanish Civil War. . .In August 1977 the liberal publication Mother Jones reported that for "the first time in more than a century, a dues-paying socialist is also a member of the U.S. Congress. Congress member Ron Dellums, a California Democrat, has joined the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee (DSOC), the organization of socialists in the Democratic Party..." ---------- Congressman Ron Dellums: National Security Risk
NOVEMBER 1968 : (ELDRIDGE CLEAVER, EVADES MURDER CHARGE BY FLEEING THROUGH CUBA TO ALGIERS, WHERE HE WOULD RUN AN INTERNATIONAL HQ FOR THE BLACK PANTHERS) The Algiers connection probably stems from the fact that in November 1968 Eldridge Cleaver had evaded a murder charge by fleeing via Cuba to Algiers, from which he ran an international headquarters for the Black Panthers.----27 posted on 05/03/2005 12:35:02 PM PDT by Fedora

MAY 11, 1969 : (BLACK PANTHERS... ) excerpt... "On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey [NEWTON?] rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo. Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him. The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology." To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp." ------- REVOLUTIONARY HEROES , May 11, 1969, [1960s] Black Panther Party [BPP] Archives Source: Maoist Internationist Movement, http://www.etext.org/Politics/MIM/bpp/index.html
AUGUST 1973 early : (POINT REYES NATIONAL SEASHORE : PARK RANGER KENNETH PATRICK IS MURDERED BY DEER POACHERS, AMONG THEM VERONZA BOWERS, ALAN VEALE & JONATHAN SHOHER- See BLACK PANTHERS)
As I recall the Black Panthers tortured their bookkeeper, Betty Van Patter, to death. I'm sure it wasn't their first time. One of the founders , Newton, beat a black hooker to death. Of course, murders of fellow blacks would be summed as as normal crime and not necessarily linked to the group.
They are as nothing compared to the New Black Panthers, or Jamaat ul Fuqra, though.
Are you stupid? You seem to be supporting these assholes or attempting to minimize their extreme violent racism.
Lets get current. From the 1960s to the late 1970s these violent racist tortured people, murdered lots of police officers and assaulted people. Shooting innocent people to death is better than hanging them?
The Black Panthers were down here in my neck of the woods last year...with Al Sharpton and all the other Black Racists handing out “Wanted Dead or Alive” posters calling for the lynching of George Zimmerman.
And don’t use the liberal excuse “New Black Panthers are not the Black Panthers”. The Black Panthers have not yet sued the New BP for using their name.
The Black Panthers preach and carry out violence and racial hatred. The Black Panthers are nothing more than the Black Ku Klux Klan
