Like it or not the Black Panther Party did many good things also. Just like any group there will always be those that take a group in their own direction. Initially they for the protection of African American neighborhoods from police brutality in the 60's. They also protested against banning firearms.
While some of their though process was crazy, they did do some good.
Flo,
I respect your opinion, BUT I heard the same thing said about the KuKluxKlan when I was growing up in Mississippi. They also did some good things for those who in their circle and community, but any good they did was overshadowed and destroyed by the hate that had in their hearts for those of another color or race. There is no excuse for it. I did not side with the Klan, and would not want you to side with this group. We should not tolerate behavior of this type from any group, whatever their color or race.
Ask yourself this. If the shoe was on the other foot, and three Klansmen were photographed standing in a voting booth acting in a threatening manner toward voters, and the charges were dropped for no apparent reason by President McCain, how would you feel? how could it be explained to your satisfaction?
