Title: Black Panthers question
Post by: boycriedwolf619 on April 02, 2007, 06:59:37 PM
For people that are very familiar with The Black Panther Party were they just for justice and equality for Blacks or for justice and equality for everyone? Or would people consider them the Black KKK?? These questions are for a friend or mine who is narrow minded.

They were not separatists like the NOI by their later years.  They were at first, but as they became more socialist and more integrated into the general counter-culture movement, that changed.  But yes, they were focused first and foremost on justice and equality for their own people.  Why shouldn't they have been, anyway?

The current incarnation of the Panthers, however, is quite a bit more like the Fruit of Islam, but neither Huey Newton nor any of the original Panthers recognize them as legitimate.
