The Black Panthers that I know and respect were wiped out by the government. The New Black Panthers are not accepted or deemed as credible by anyone except for Fox News. Are we talking Huey Newton Black Panthers or are we talking about whoever is running the New Black Panthers in 2016? You need to clarify that so I can give you my answer. You can't just say Black Panthers to me and lump them all together. My knowledge of Black History is most likely one of the best on BGP so I need clarification. The Black Panthers of today are not and do not represent the Black Panthers of the 60s and 70s no matter how hard Fox News tells you to believe it.

 

For the sake of the younger posters, we will use the New Black Panthers. Fox News sucks just like CNN and MSNBC.I have been well documented with that stance.

Did the Black Panthers endorse Obama. Yes or No? Did anyone denounce them if so? If not why were they not denounced. Do you agree this is a fair question given the current mood of society?

 

Also for the record I dont care if they did or not. I also dont care if the KKK endorsed Trump. Both those organizations are racist and neither Obama nor Trump wants anything to do with them.

 

Looking at your question again my answer is I am pretty sure the New Black Panthers did endorse Obama but not one single person takes them seriously. Not like the real Black Panthers of the 60s and 70s. Not to mention, Obama didn't make their leader his Chief Strategist and I'm fairly certain he didn't invite them to the White House for dinner either. Obama didn't have to denounce him he flat out ignored them because nobody is concerned about those 40-50 black dudes wearing bomber jackets claiming to protect people from voter suppression.

 

Why the the need to try to validate the New Black Panthers and their insignificance compared to the KKK when we all know there is a branch of the KKK within a 30 mile radius of all of our homes here in KY? Are we really going to act like the New Black Panthers are a viable terrorist organization compared to the KKK that has people representing them running for elected offices?

I don't need links. I'm black and black intellectuals do not respect or acknowledge the New Black Panther Party. They do however have much respect for the original Black Panther Party. That isn't a secret either.

PP92 I have lived in Kentucky for the most of my life and have never met a KKK member that I know of. I am not validating anyone especially anyone or group thats a racist. It appears that this guy here has been a victim of a hatchet job by the press because of one article? And a he said she said divorce? My point is dont take everything these news people say as the fact. He may turn out to be a racist, but till he shows that I am not condemning him nor would I a black person in the same position.

Others may need more info, thats why I posted them. You had just stated that you knew all about them. Others dont or some dont.

And herein lies the "divide" currently in America. I've seen enough to say Bannon is racist. You need more proof. For you personally what would Bannon have to do to prove he is racist? Would you need to hear him say the n word or something along those lines?

I would need to see him do something or say publicly some racist comment, the same I would have to see from a black person to say they are racist. If you have not been listening to my posts on the press, I do not believe them in anything they say. I got enough of the lies they fed the American public during the election. Just because the news or some blogger says something that does not make it true and I dont believe any of them fools.

 

When this guy starts doing crap thats racist then lets hang him on a public square. Fair enough? Maybe we should adopt that law for all haters. Be a lot less hate.

I hear you. So I am assuming you don't think Breitbart is the platform for the Alt Right and the free reign he gives his readers to post racist memes and comments is a reflection of him? If you went to my Facebook page and it was flooded with racist memes and comments from myself and my Facebook friends wouldn't you think I was racist?

 

There are way too many republicans who are calling Bannon racist for it to not have legs. The media is simply reporting what people are saying. I get info from a variety of places and I have always been skeptical of the media. Bannon is a member of the media. Should we not be skeptical or just let it ride?

But you just said you don't believe anything the media says... So you'd have to see him say it yourself, or he would have to say it on Live TV for you to believe it?

PP92 I never knew there was such as thing as the Alt Right till CNN came up with it. Who coined that term anyway. I mean is this a group with a leader? Im serious I am lost with this and I follow politics in the last 2/3 years really close. Maybe I am just blind but I am honest.

 

You are free to question anyone you want or their motives. But myself I will wait and see what he does and if he is bad he will show his hand. They always do, everywhere.

I think you give way too much credence to the KKK.

 

The bunch of pointy headed idiots rarely rear their ugly heads. I would agree that there are most likely sympathizers in your neck of the woods, mine too. I would guess it's about 2-3. We are never going to be able to fix stupidity or ignorance. I will keep trying to drive these idiots out into the light so we can crush them like the roaches of society they are.

 

I hope no racists, regardless of color, ever have any positions of power.

Anti-Defamation League Admits Bannon Made No Anti-Semitic Statements

 

Just googling this guy tonight and found this. Sounds like that part of him being such a racist has now been refuted. Ive got my eye on him though for the Bannon haters. For what its worth, I never knew this guy existed except for the past week.

From a policy perspective Bannon is pushing for a complete infrastructure project. Trump's own economic guy says it will add $10T to the current $19T debt.

Bannon has been removed from NSC.
