In reply to the discussion: To all the right wing 'visitors' - why do you keep talking about the New Black Panthers??? [View all]Gurgen4
(39 posts)I'm tired of hearing white racists talk about these supposedly "threatening" groups like the NBPP or La Raza just because they represent minorities. The Black Panther Party has no history of violence (only in the right-wing media is this claim ever made), white neo-Nazis on the other hand have committed thousands of acts of terrorism killing hundreds of people, second to only Islamic terrorism. No I'm not saying that the NBPP is completely free from controversy (their anti-semitism is one thing that they should be called out on) but then there are no groups which are perfect and have never done any wrong either so we either criticize everyone or we criticize nobody.
There are far greater enemies we as a country should focus our attention on. There are human rights abuses going on all over the world; Iran has threatened to wipe Israel off the map just for being a Jewish country. Anyone who thinks the NBPP with all there 5 members are some sort of threat, when compared with, the KKK or say Iran, really needs to get a reality check.
