Never have I made light of black oppression. I'd like to see direct evidence that supports this claim. Not some spin on my words based on your own perception.
In all my involvement in racial threads, I've taken the same standpoint. Everyone suffers. There's nothing uncle tomish about that because it's the truth. I've seen my father struggle (a black man from NY) the same wway I watched my mother struggle to raise me (a white woman from the US virgin Islands). I don't promote self hate, I just realize that there's little that can be done about our past besides striving to make the future better. I acknowledge every but of oppression, period.
I did not compare the two groups to eachother in the sense of their both being the same (as in their purpose, values, etc). I said the Panthers were indeed militant (they were) and they did use violence. At the end of the day, death is death. A klansman may hang a black person the same way a panther may shoot a white person; same out come.
Fam actually calls me an enemy to the race. Let's be real. I promote equality for all mankind, while you (Haze) try to outcast me for not holding a deep-seated loathing for other races. Again I ask, who is the real uncle tom?

The White Panthers were a far left, anti-racist, white-American political collective founded in 1968 by Lawrence (Pun) Plamondon and Leni and John Sinclair. It was started in response to an interview where Huey P. Newton, co-founder of the Black Panther Party, was asked what white people could do to support the Black Panthers. Newton replied that they could form a White Panther Party. Thus, the group took its name in emulation of the Black Panthers, and dedicated its energies to "cultural revolution."

It's apparent that I have more of an understanding of the movement that most of the people I'm arguing with. You all acknowledge all thegood in the group (which is fine and dandy because they did a lot of good things from the black community), but don't cut the story short. Understand thatthey did indeed use violence as well. It may not have been as highly profiled and publicized as other groups, but it's violence none the less.Originally Posted by M16
Dude IBlink tryna preach a Ghandi like idealist message but he fails in not knowing what the Black Panthers were actually about.

You are an idiot my dude.
Seriously.
Panther's didn't go around shooting white people.
There were probably as much white supporters of the BPP as there were black...if not more.

If you're going to come with discourse, stay factual.

I've never insisted that their entire movement was about militant resistance.
And my message is not "let's all be friends," it's "everyone suffers."

The fact that that's the only thing you took away from my response is laughable. You read that much into a mere example and ignored what I was truly saying. The same outcome is DEATH, genius, in which case no one wins.

Exactly. It all stems from mans lust for violence. Everyone uses it, but the claims behind the reasoning varies. Ultimately it's wrong nomatter what spin you put on it.Originally Posted by HueyP in LouieV

So the same thing came about from the Allied defense against Hitler and Hitler's concentration camps?
And don't talk about facts, when its clear you know nothing on the topic...you called the Black Panther Party a supremacy group.

And not for a second have I tried to come off as though I'm more knowledgeable in a field than I truly am. It doesn't take me sifting through a few books to understand that the Panther's used violence when necessary. Am I saying that's all there was to their movement? No, but it is indeed an aspect. WHy you try to sweep this under the rug is beyond me.
When I say facts, I'm talking facts from this discussion. I called the Panthers a nationalist movemnet and the kkk a supremacist movement. If you dispute that, then your logic is laughable.

OP has been reported. I don't give a @$#%. That was out of line
I mean, a nationalist/supremacy group is a nationalist/supremacy group. What's unacceptable for one should be unacceptable for all.
Of course they were a black nationalist group...you also called them a supremacist group. So stop talking about "your logic islaughable"...when you came off like a complete *** with no knowledge of facts. Typical Uncle Tom shuffle.Originally Posted by iBlink
