Something I Said - Bring Back The Black Panthers
Something I Said-Bring Back The Black Panthers
Dwight Hobbes
Insight News archives Now, before anybody gets upset, talking about "Why do we need angry Black men shooting at police?", consider what The Panthers fundamentally were about, something long overlooked. Their notoriety for squaring off against armed oppression of African American communities is only part of the picture. The Black Panther Party most often was about offering free breakfasts for children, free medical clinics, helping the homeless and otherwise providing sorely needed aid to the community. In that spirit, there is a desperate need they can fulfill, now. And, while it involves a call to arms against ruthless, ongoing oppression, it does not involve aiming guns at police. Instead, The Panthers can, indeed, help police departments all over America protect our neighborhoods from the rampant gang violence that keeps killing off decent folk – in particular our young. Twelve-year old Vernice Hall of the Twin Cities, shot in the head and, as of this writing, clinging to life in a hospital bed, is but the latest of far too many kids who've been cut down by gunfire. And her shooting chillingly parallels the murder, for instance, of 14-year old Charez Jones. Both young girls were minding their own business, merely leaving a party and headed not very far on their way home. Added to which, shooters and victims alike keep getting younger and younger. People are scared to death in their own homes and afraid to let their children out – and, for that matter, go anywhere themselves – without wondering if they'll get back safe and sound. The fact is police, clearly, even with the best detective work and strongest uniformed presence can't do the job by itself. One obstacle the police keep running into is that community residents frequently aren't willing to cooperate with the cops. Either they have a wrongheaded conviction against snitching or they have a right-thinking reluctance to be targeted for retaliation by gang-members. It stands to reason that such intelligence can be much more easily gathered by Panthers who live in the community. For that matter, since they, in fact, live there, they're apt to have first-hand information that police officers (who generally live far away from the endangered communities) would have no way of accessing. Police chiefs and mayors should welcome such help from The Panthers with open arms – provided that help is presented in a responsible fashion. Along the same lines by which there are classes for people who wish to legally carry concealed weapons, there is no reason Panthers can't undergo whatever training by which authorities deem police fit to carry and discharge loaded firearms, subject to appropriate review after the fact. On the day of Charez Jones' wake, C. J. Jessup, K.G. Wilson and Ed Northington, members of community activists MAD DADS chased an armed thug who just finished firing a weapon at a store clerk. They weren't hurt. The thug was subdued. What if, however, had he turned around, during the chase, and tried to gun them all down? The best they would have been able to do is duck. The worst that would've happened is that he'd have wounded or killed one, two or all three of them. Had these been Black Panthers in pursuit, he'd have been facing armed men acting to protect their community from criminals.

Conservatives has Fox News convinced you the Black Panther Party is All Powerful?
Few Conservatives know that the Black panthers back in the day had white chapters
Those who have seen the movie "Panthers" already know this.
Today the Black panthers have fewer than 50 members
Fox news could not find a Large enough Black racist organization
the NAACP has way too many white members and has honored way too many white people.
Conservatives Has Fox News convinced you the Black Panther Party is All Powerful?
News flash for those who only get theirs from the pablum-spewing neo-Nazi filth on Fox: The closest anyone can tell, the "NEW BLACK PANTHERS" have some kind of weird relationship with right wing propaganda scum, and appear to have about thirty members or less, all apparently in Philadelphia. Most of their members seem to be actors or "wanna be" actors.
The real Black Panthers were all murdered more than thirty years ago.
Which brings up the interesting question: What the hell is all this moronic drivel about, anyway?
Perhaps scaring ignorant, paranoid white people into jumping onto the sleaze bag, Rupert Murdoch's bandwagon?
Why would anyone sane even care?
