If Darren Wilson is innocent, why are so many white people preparing for war?

164. Pls do some research on the original Black Panther Party

then you'll never equate them with the racist, terrorist KKK.

They were formed as a self-defense organization due to the brutality of the Oakland, CA police department towards black people during the 1960s. They armed themselves to defend against the numerous killings and beatings by the OPD that occurred routinely.

And that is not all they were about. For years they had a free breakfast program for under nourished children in the black community, they sponsored free health clinics to combat sickle cell anemia and other health problems, free education programs to make the community aware of the class (not just race) struggle that the black community was subjected to, there were many others programs, and they put out a newspaper for years to raise the level of awareness in the community on issues of class, racism by the police and many other areas of concern.

They were not racist as the party had the support of radical activists from Europe, China, Sweden and Israel, to name a few. Many American whites were also supporters — including Leonard Bernstein, the famous conductor.

I'm not talking about the still ineffective New Black Panther Party that you seem to be referring to.

They are not the same thing.
