countless whites connect Black Panthers to the KKK in attempt to show that blacks have been equally as racist and bigoted as whites over American history: these whites deceptively neglect to mention just how the Black Panthers came into existence in the first place. They were created after AND ONLY AFTER eons of nonviolence approaches proved to be ineffective in getting the white community to cut their UNPROVOKED, anti-black racial atrocities. When eons of nonviolence approaches proved to be ineffective and blacks were still receiving racial cruelties from the white community (chocked full of denied rights in every aspect of life, socially acceptable spitting and anti-black hate speech, fire hose attacks, tear gassing attacks, lynching murders, spitting, constant unjust police brutality and jailing, etc.), some naturally decided to fight fire with the same fire that whites were dishing out and had been dishing out for centuries with little to no retaliation for the most part -- On the other hand, the KKK was created out of pure racism. These gangs are white-only hate groups put together after whites had lost the 5 year long American Civil War that ended slavery. The goal of KKK was to restore slavery and white supremacy. If it wasn't KKK gangs wreaking havoc, it was random white mobs raising hell, ambushing blacks, and murdering them. One would think in a society in which the KKK (Ku Klux Klan) runs rampant, terrorizing, destroying, and murdering without rule or consequences, a hate group like the Black Panthers to counter all that would be more than justified; however, most of the white community considers the Black Panthers just as evil and depraved as the KKK while of course omitting certain pivotal facts like all of the aforementioned.

besides the reality that i don't trust the Black Panther's stances on communism and opposite racism, and we in all likelihood does not get alongside individually, the Black Panthers won't be able to hold a shelter to what the KKK did. confident, they are the two racist, yet the place simply by fact the Black Panthers ought to have been uppity, the KKK grew to become into an apprehension rigidity. They raped. They tortured. They killed little ones. They firebombed A CHURCH. I"m not announcing those Black Panthers ought to get off scot loose, yet enable's shop issues in attitude. somewhat frankly, even nonetheless I"m white and lean conservative, I actually have a tiny bit greater appreciate for the panthers for a manner they have a tendency to hold themselves. it is not consistently proper, in spite of the shown fact that it has greater worry-loose experience than a damn insurrection. i might choose for panthers over rioters and looters any day. unhappy ingredient is, I truthfully have appreciate for the two the Panthers AND the Klan (*gasp* WHAT?!?) of their unique reason. The Klan initially wasn't a racist terror group and the Panthers weren't initially anti capitalist. additionally, i won't be able to deny the Panthers their want for desiring weapons. initially, the Klan had to guard Southern background. Then, pardon the term, issues went south. whilst the Klan have been given undesirable, that is whilst the unique founder, Nathan Bedford Forrest, DENOUNCED it and left, and warned people of it. i does not be shocked in the event that they had the two been infiltrated with the aid of the Feds, a similar way the police have. yet confident, conservatives, that is gonna take a damn long term for the Panthers to capture as much as the Klan in violence. perhaps not in stupidity, yet violence. And confident, liberals, it is going to take the KKK and Westboro Baptist an prolonged time to capture as much as ISIS, in spite of what you think of.

Why do people compare the Black Panthers and the KKK? Black Panthers were militants, disciplined and tried to help and protect the black community. KKK just hated blacks and any other ethnic group period. The government did anything they could to try to stop them, stopping people who were just trying to help themselves. They didn't like the fact that N*ggers could be so disciplined and was able to learn their rights. Black Panthers had guns but they were to be used for defense only and you actually had to learn how to use them.

they're not really equal, the Panthers are stronger because they have Obama's support.
