“If you are having any doubts about getting suited, booted up and armed up for this race war that we are in that has never ended, let me tell you something, the things that’s about to happen to these honkies, these crackers, these pigs, these pink people, these mother****er cripple people, has been long overdue, “ said Michelle Williams, Tampa Chief of Staff for the Panther Party.

“I am for violence, if non violence means we continue postponing a solution to the American black man’s problem just to avoid violence. It’s in me to fight, it’s in me to raise up soldiers, it’s in me that every time my feet touch the ground in the state of Florida these crackers are scared,” added Williams. “This could not happen in LA, because them brothers up there are not scared to riot. This could not have happened in St. Petersburg, Florida because the black man over there ain’t scared to kill a cracker.”

not very nice

The original black panthers actually served a purpose (somewhat)

The new black panthers are a tool for the left to restart a race war in America that most of us thought was over in the 1980's and 90's

Thanks Democrats for your hate...... why can't we move on from the hate? Why won't you let us move on from the hate?

I know nothing much of the NBPP except that they have sullied the reputation of the really Panthers and due to that, I do not like them.

I voted I was "proud" of the black panthers because it was the closest choice that I had to what I feel about the, but I really am not "proud" of them. I do think that they were an organization with a purpose and I do feel that in certain locations they were very much organized and did a good job in promoting the positives of black people, the need for blacks to organize and protect themselves against police brutality, and promoting community service via breakfast programs, educational programs, and health screenings.

I also feel that most people now a days and the majority on this site do not know much about the original Panthers.

Sooooo much hatred coming from the BP party and I have to wonder if our beloved Janet Nappolitano has listed this group as potential home grown terrorists?

Well, so far it's mostly people saying that the Black Panthers are (both the Original and NBP) are just as bad or worse than the Klan.

Two things about this:

- Those saying that they are as bad or worse than the KKK aren't really making it clear if it's BOTH or just the New Black Panther Party that they're refering to.

- Also, no one's really making it clear WHY they're as bad or worse than the Klan....

Hilariously, democrats have mostly ignored the NBPP, because they're obviously a small group of fools. It's republicans who insist on giving them mainstream attention - Fox News has been bringing them on for interviews for years now.

The Black Panther Party was not separatist, for that you need to look towards the Nation of Islam, and the Republic of New Africa.

NBPP is just silly, a bunch of kooks advocating violence and extermination that makes them no better than other hate groups.

NBPP is just silly, I used to think it was silly but now I'm a bit more concerned seeing how the media insists upon giving then undeserved exposure. Kooks, without a doubt but even kooks can morph into dangerous idiots.
