Your poll is misworded. "Yes" or "No" is not an answer.

They are a racist organization, pure and simple.

Yes for racist militant. No, they are not racist militant. I should have worded the question a little differently, but it was already posted and there is no way to edit polls.

WOW!!! The FOX reporter actually called her guest a prostitute. Holy moley. Yes, the guest called her a 'political prostitute', but she is supposed to be a pro.

Seriously? Their website and those that they associate with makes it quite clear. For example:

"We struggle to establish our own provisional government (in unity with other Black organizations), in order take control of our communities and in preparation for our own government soon to come! We advocate political alliances with all African -Black Organizations that are uncompromising in the struggle for liberation. We also will organize with the other oppressed people of color. The New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense is all Black, not integrationist."

As a libertarian, I have no problem with people striving to free themselves from our system of preferential laws and government initiations of force upon individuals. However, the New Black Panthers proclaim to be about "freedom" while at the same time enslaving others to fulfill their demands. Perhaps they don't realize their own blatant hypocrisy. Or maybe they are mad that they no longer have slaves building the pyramids? I went through some of their literature and their "training material", which strangely includes Ayn Rand(???), but clearly their proclaimed goals for "their" people require simultaneously abusing others. They have quite a strange belief system with many contradictions indeed.

Their racism is blatant and unapologetic. That a group that has suffered so much in the past due to racism, it is more than ironic that they themselves would embrace the stances that they do. On the one hand, they decry all of the evils of racism, yet they want to insitutionalize racism to perpetrate that same system upon others. They claim Divinity for "their" people. Maybe they think that they are the real "Chosen People" rather than the other "Chosen People" that they treated as animals. Racism, is the entirety of their underlying philosophy.

With all of that said, I don't have any problem with them if they do not initiate force upon individuals. Even if they are misguided in my opinion, I would rather people actively fight for their beliefs and expanding their freedoms than to remain meek and obedient servants and sacrificial animals to the State. At least they are doing something other than kneeling before GODvernment.

Couldn't have said it better myself, my sentiments exactly! Bravo!
