Black Panthers Waving Night Sticks Around Voting Stations

By DemocracyRules

This is going on in Philly.  Here is some background info about these charming little darlings.  I have omitted the details about how many they have killed, but here is their 11 point manifesto from Wikipedia:

The Manifesto of the Socialist, Black Nationalst Black Panther Party

1. We want power to determine the destiny of our black and oppressed communities' education that teaches us our true history and our role in the present-day society.
2. We want completely free health care for all black and oppressed people.
3. We want an immediate end to police brutality and murder of black people, other people of color, all oppressed people inside the United States.
4. We want an immediate end to all wars of aggression.
5. We want full employment for our people.
6. We want an end to the robbery by the capitalists of our Black Community.
7. We want decent housing, fit for the shelter of human beings.
8. We want decent education for our people that exposes the true nature of this decadent American society.
9. We want freedom for all black and oppressed people now held in U. S. Federal, state, county, city and military prisons and jails. We want trials by a jury of peers for all persons charged with so-called crimes under the laws of this country.
10. We want land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice, peace and people's community control of modern technology.
11. We want some of those little cucumber and watercress sandwiches with the crusts cut off, so we can have them with our tea.

That last one is a little surprising. Do you think they'd settle for maybe just the sandwiches?

What if white people demanded they be allowed to walk through Watts, Knoxville, Beddy Sty, Cleveland, or any other black neighborhood after dark without being robbed, shot, yelled at or raped?
Most of the blacks are in jail because black juries put them there!
How about if the black panthers realize that they have as much support from blacks as the klan does from whites.
Sorry, man, but if you guys are still angry after Obama got elected- You got problems no one can help.

Well said rlitzen. I understand that wiki is about the least credible source for accurate info, but if the last one wasan't right wouldn't a symapthiser say something? Or is their membership really that low?
