"Want" equality? More flattery. As if you have the means to deny someone such status.

No matter how stupid they might be, they're already your equal. At a minimum. I don't know why that stupid "equality" word gets thrown around so much.

There both good for nothing groups, who spew hatred, therefore in my books, thery are equal in my thoughts on them. They stand for different things, that boil down to hatred in my book. I have no use for either one of them. Is one better then the other!

Infact put all of these hate groups in one group, they all stand for the same thing, different meaning, but hate is hate!

KKK and Black Panthers are apples and oranges. A better comparison is The New Black Panthers and The Tea Party.

How stupid is this, how are you comparing a group of blacks who were protecting themselves from Racist white cops killing black youth to a group of angry racist white killing blacks because they were looking at white women. You racist trash.

The Black Panters also had food programs to feed impoverished inner city school children daily. At the time there wasn't a national Free Lunch program in public schools as there is today.

KKK. White ppl have it made in this country. A white guy like George W Bush didn't even have to be smart to be elected POTUS and run the country. that's the kind of white privilege that white ppl enjoy every day of their lives.

Weren't they just in the news earlier this month for something in California? The only difference between the KKK then and now is that they can't be as open as they used to be. The law isn't on their side anymore but I doubt they just disbanded and went on to peaceful lives.

Again, that was not 300 years ago, unless you are living in the year 1919. I kinda doubt that, since the internet wasn't around then.
Slavery was not everywhere nor did the chains being materially severed begin to touch the other chains installed in their minds. 300 yrs of 100% physical chains in all places in USA is not the whole truth. While the white community has taken a serious look at it's laws and did it's best to scrub out slavery & racism, the 'black community' has done little to eradicate the mental chains, but rather, promote them and forge multiple brands of chains.

Nolo contendere that codification did take place. That said explain to me how, importing antebellum south to a place like Oakland California is California's fault? It was psychological baggage they brought with them that created racism where there was little or none. A black man lifts himself up in Alabama, builds a life, builds a business, has it destroyed by malevolent supremacists-- that's not what they met in California but they act as if it were. That's not what they met in rural Long Island once upon a time either.

Now having said that, the KKK historically is much much worse than the New Black Panther party. Currently, however both are pretty much toothless and jokes.
Neither are toothless if either poli party has to pander to these losers. They don't belong in this country if they're animating themselves as terrorists towards American citizens. They BOTH are. Why should it matter what color terrorists are?

As for what black panthers through rose colored glasses of a history book being so much superior- that's not what I lived out in my neighborhood.

My origin in rural suffolk county long island enjoyed positive/ neutral race (and class) relations until militant uneducated creeps from mystery city origins showed up and ran off my nice black (and some white) neighbors. You don't have to be wealthy to be decent or have dignity and that's how we were all living. It was at that point a formerly poor neighborhood that was upwardly mobile for all achieving middle class summarily went to hell in a hand basket. Meddlesome dung went very far out of their way to eradicate good will where it could be found. Yes, that does anger me because I very much valued my diverse neighborhood that shared a sense of common decency. They were family to me. The good will that we forged together as a community was stomped to death by imported sickness. Black folks who had no hand in building it (specifically-those relationships, which go far beyond mere buildings. The difference between a house and a home) destroyed it. Is that really so different from Chicago whites feeling at the time? Not at all. Punctuated by riots.

Am I really so different from NC? Not really. I can very much relate to SOME southerners of traditional republican & liberal dem values disgusted with dixiecrats. By and large in the north those dixiecrats were (and often are) republican, more obvious in PA- the 'sin eating' party strategy carving up America? They'll just dance around it gerrymandering infinitely. How many have a vested interest in seeing the thorns in the mind of black people stay right where they are forever? Not me. Anyone else in this thread wish for them to never heal?

White people have "made it" because White people built this country. The democracy, the rule of law, the industry. Everything.

Of course White people will benefit. A better question would be, with all this "White privilege" who lives better - A Black person in a White country or a Black person in a country that their people have built?

Does "Black privilege" exist in Nigeria? South Africa?
