You know John I have to hand it to you,I looked up the Black Panthers and have found that they were very missunderstood,I actually like them more then the NAACP.They at least took an active role in cleaning up the neighborhood of criminals and feeding poor people.The NAACP is spewing hate and the old shoulda,coulda,woulda everytime they open their mouth.Im not saying that the black panther party today is any good,I have my doubt after hearing how Bush blew up the levis in New Orleans while being interviewed.This is why the NAACP,Farakhan,and the Panthers of the 70's have lost their credibility because anyone who attemps to bring their community into ours(black to white ebonics is a good alternate example)is considered an uncle tom like Bill Cosby,Collin Powell,and Condoleza Rice.In the case of Rice and Powell you have the most powerfull black woman and man and they are not accepted by the NAACP not because of the political veiw but because they dont promote the victim mentality that keeps the money rolling in.The last thing they need is a black president man or woman who is not bringing in the bucks.Remember when racism is gone then they dont have the posh lifestyle anymore.They perpetuate hate.
