Instead of being pissed at the mayor, how about you write a letter to all the grandma's and grandpa's bitching at them for treating minorities like ****.
OH boy. You gotta be kidding.

That is like my saying the K KK was justifiable b/c your ancestors were raping my ancestors and stealing their farms blind.

Violence against any group of people is never justifiable. Period.

I think we should not continue to hammer Racism into the ground, it only causes it to continue. I thought we were long past that.

but the black panthers were the result of minorities being treated as inferior people by whites. Do you actually think, if racism wasnt around the black panthers would exist?

If Africa didn't teach the slave trade to their own people...would white people have ever capitalized on the cheap labor???

I don't know, you'd have to ask them. My point still remains the same. If you would have treated us with respect back in the day, there would be no black panthers.

Well, it's like this . . . today is now. And the Black Panthers continue to spread hate.

White folks are not about to justify hate groups who target AAs so why would blacks try to justify Black Panthers, who have stated they wish to kill all white people?

I don't care what hate group it is -- it ain't right, whether aimed at gays, any particular race or ethnic group, religious group and so forth. It is just wrong. And there is no justifying the existence of such groups in our society in 2012.

The point is... people like to stop going back in time when it's convenient...

Like you just did.

Pathetic. Honoring useless thugs that should never exist. Maybe the KKK should also be honored!

Wait, the Black Panthers were freedom fighters. What is wrong with honoring freedom fighters? We supported the child raping freedom fighters in Nicaragua, the Contras and we even trained Usama Bin Laden, another freedom fighter. This country has a history of honoring and supporting freedom fighters.
