"According to a Pew Research Center analysis published in December, the median wealth of white households was 13 times that of black households in 2013, compared with eight times in 2010."

I wonder if they're factoring welfare, Medicaid, Obamacare, EBT, SSDI, SNAP, TANF, Section 8 and all the rest into that computation?

Black lives matter only when they are shot by white people not by thier own kind

the NEW Black Panthers...are NOT the Old Black Panthers...there is no LINK...no linear progression..NUTTIN

“he Black Panthers’ message is set to be revived “

one of the early black panthers messages was ...if I remember correctly “OFF THE PIG”..and i dont THINK they were discussing BARBEQUES

thats a diverse,,,compassionate Tolerant message I must say.

Thanks - thought it might be something like that.

Hillary's problem will be energizing the black vote. Maybe she could do that by publicizing her links to the Black Panther Party.

She could also plagiarize some phrases from this writer. She's had her "Listening Tour" when she first ran for the Senate and her "Flogging Dead Horses Tour" when she was trying to sell her book. For 2016 she needs a "Reimagining the Parameters of What is Possible Tour," which sounds better (whatever it means) than a "Recycling Banalities Tour" (which is what the public will actually get).

All these groups have the same goal. $$$ And they are all dumb enough to be played like the political tools they are by progressives.

[kaehurowing]

Terrorist organization.

This guy thinks Al Sharpton should go be ambassador for Boko Haram against ISIS. He’s hillarious.

Thus my plan to 1099 all benefits. We need real numbers to argue the facts.

I'm all for "full employment and decent housing Huey", let everybody work to attain that goal. Is that asking too much? After all, that's how I got mine, hard work, planning, saving, for more than short term goals. Give it a real long term try, don't be dependent on tax payers to give it to you, it really does work.

For years I taught a class at the state unemployment office teaching welfare and food stamp recipients how to look for work. That was in the 80’s and 90’s. We even sent them to college and paid tuition and living expenses while they attended.

[RedMDer]

Less than $6.8k to go!!

Hands up! Don’t shoot!

White lives mattered to the Black Panthers in the 1960s.

I recall that white lives were indeed a subject of concern for black radicals. They had a slogan "Take ten!"

This guy is old enough now to have probably screamed "Take ten!" a time or two.

Radical agrees to cease occupation of building shouts "BLACK POWER" on the way out.. developing

As Black History Month draws to a close...

Oh...whatever will we do without it?
