Not too sure about that. West Africans had quite a few Muslims, but no Christians that i know of. Which is why i've never taken Christianity seriously....my ancestors weren't Christians.

Question Who's worse....the KKK or the Black Panthers

Have the Panthers killed more whites than the KKK has killed blacks?

No.

Look...both are equally toothless. I don't even know why anyone even thinks about these groups. The KKK could march down my street and i wouldn't even look up from my newspaper.

Pretty much. Nobody of any race should give any of these hate groups so much as the time of day. They seek to divide us, not unify us.

e: That said, the old Black Panther Party was rather civil compared to the KKK. The New Black Panther Party, which is not an official offshoot of the old BPP, is an extremist hate group.

I don't think so. The KKK's record is a century and a half of violent racism and murder. The Black Panthers' violence seemed to be directed amongst themselves with internal power struggles. I don't recall any incidents of Panther violence against whites. They're political radicals and they get a lot of bad press, but they're not a threat of any significance to white bread like me.

Neither would I. But how many parades do the BPs pull off in a year's time? The KKK?

Wow! You don't see it? Granted, they're far more circuitous about it. They put poison in the minds of black children, arm them figuratively and literally, rob them of their childhood, rob them of love and light, then attend the funerals and blame whites for the suicide run they sent them on. It's a full time profession ruining black lives. It's uncanny- it's like the klan put them on a payroll to destroy their own people.

This is the byproduct of the best and brightest minds on crack, and 5 tsps of authority vested in a black man servicing his pitiful pride:

LOVE to be a fly on the wall in that squad room. I can already hear the south park cartoon voice mocking him- you must respect my authoraTAH!

It used to be in NYC summertimes to have a low income neighborhoods open up a fire hydrant to cool the kids off. Cops looked the other way. Guns drawn over something so trivial is insane. The only issues that were genuine came from the water authority over huge waste but especially the FD losing water pressure. There weren't public pools for many years. The pools got built, the FD vocalized an education about the subject, and city policy was formally changed to dispense with this city tradition. But still, it was a fun local flavor tradition.

If one asks a NBPP member how many members do they have, their answer will be almost to a man "those who know won't tell, and those who tell don't know."

Which basically means they have about 5 and a half members. Why that group has even entered the American discussion goes over my head.
