What do you think of the newly reformed Black Panthers?

I think the Black Panthers are a dispicable group that only wants to foster racism in our country and then cry about discrimination.  They are in the same group with the KKK and Nazis.  We should just round them all up and burn them.

The best thing they could ever do if to open their eyes to the lies history told.\n\n"So we are within our rights and with justice-- with justification when we express doubt concerning the ability of the white man to solve our problem and also when we express doubt concerning his integrity, concerning his sincerity, because you will have to confess that the problem has been around here for a long time and whites have been saying the same thing about it for the past 100 years and it's no nearer a solution today than it was a hundred years ago."  Malcolm X\n\nSee what happen to those you trust in, "African Americans" wasn't slaves for 400 years. They were oppress for 400 years. Which proves you do not have to be a slave to be oppress. You will hear many argue they never own a slave nor have their fathers. That's misleading because over 95% of the oppression blacks face were not from slave owners or any member of the KKK. It was by a racist society, the Justice system, policeman, and the government and the reason these people are in power is because blacks couldn't vote. Like Saddam Iraqis couldn't vote which keep him in a position of power even beyond the people he represented because they could not vote. Which cause him to cause such cruelty to others.\n\nSo the biggest rise for black is not trusting in "the man". \n\n"You must also have all your white servants and overseers distrust all blacks but it is necessary that your slaves trust and depend on us. They must love, respect and trust only us."\n\nThat prove what the Bible stated over 2000 years ago. "how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?"

The Panthers Season will be summed up in two words...World Champions.\n\nReasons?...First and foremost, as a true fan you HAVE to believe it every season.However on the technical side...John Fox is the best thing to happen in the Carolinas football wise since Frank Howard. Mr. Jerry Richardson not only knows the business world, but the player in him knows what kind of coach would inspire him to work towards that ultimate goal.\n\nThe risky addition of Keyshawn Johnson is a bold move, but given past histories of how we deal with problem players, they get sent elsewhere, i hope KJ finds pride in simply being a Panther. Together he and Mr. Smith will cause more than a few DB's to consider retirement.\n\nThat Charlotte version of Wild Thing we have for a QB is maturing and his decision making is improving greatly. Jake has a chance at being one of those with thier image gaurding the grounds of our home turf. I hope he too sees the what looms on his horizon and foregoes the shallow pursit of the Holy Dollar. Bobby Bouchet You is a Panther!\n\nThe D is rock solid and only getting to know one another like a book.The Corps retuns with a few relacements but believe me they will soon drill those newbies into true Bad Cats. Sgt. Peppers, Col.Morgan, and General Minter are a cadre to be feared and respected.\n\nThere is a factor on this team not many think about..The number of connections it has to the Carolinas. The pride involved with being from either of the states runs deeper than a loblolly Pine Tree's tap root. Growing up here gives it a spiritual edge, going to school here from the outside instills it to a wee bit smaller degree,but it is there. The best example is our departing friend Stephen Davis, less money to come home...THAT IS CAROLINA PRIDE! SD there has got to be a place on staff for you, and the measurments for you statue will come.\n\nI am a day one fan. I survived Collins, Carruth, and that twenty letter running back from Michigan...So I say with whole heart...Go Pathers!

Mess in Afgahnistan??  I think the TALIBAN caused that mess and the Europeans are helping because it is the right thing to do!  A lot more of the world is helping there as well!\n\nSouth Africa has made so many strides, FINNALY abolishing Apathied, giving up their nuclear weapons VOLUNTARILY, and helping in missions that promote freedom.  I applaud and welcome all the good things that South Africans are doing.  I hope that they get more foreign aid and investment from the USA, maybe we can stop buying everything from China and Europe...  \n\nI hope for an economically strong South Africa that will lead the continent to freedom and the rule of law.

I don't. Personally, I think that they outlived their usefulness about three decades ago. Now it seems that their sole purpose is to uphold the wants-needs of one person, while trampling on the rights of everyone else. And usually over absolutely ludicrous issues.\n\nEx.: In my area, a kid was waving around a piece of paper with the Confederate flag on it at the school lunch table. Principal came by, told him to put it away. He refused. He was suspended.\n\nWhat should have ended right there made the newspapers, because his mother raised hell and got the ACLU involved. That's just asinine, as far as I'm concerned.\n\n My mother would have raised hell, too- but with me or one of my brothers if we had pulled a stunt like that.

As good as any others. They are a brave people and strong in (Orthodox) Christian faith, despite Communist experience.\nThey have always been on the front line against Turkish attacks and, instead of appreciation and support for their brave resistance to Muslim encroachment, were bombed by Nato, at the instigation of Clinton and Blair (two war criminals).  Their brave leader Slobodan Milosovich was brought to trial before the kangaroo court at the Hague, where he made them look like the poseurs they are. They were immensely relieved when he died before the trial could be resumed.

The correct term for them is marxist.  I've heard Horowitz refer to them as neo-communists, but that doesn't really capture their essence, and neither does socialist.  The problem here is today's marxists don't even have a cogent plan for their particular implementation of marxism....just some vague agenda for destroying the United States and democracy in the world in the interests of "social justice".  However, just like all of the previous children of marxist thought......national socialism (nazism), socialism and communism, progressives and liberals are really all about genocide.  What they want.  What they support.  What they ALWAYS support, is nothing less than the murder of hundreds of millions of innocent people.  That really is all that marxism is about, when you pair it down to its essence.  It is the one repeating pattern that ties all of these people (including all liberals) and their behavior together.  It's their goal.  And it is a good reason to seriously consider rounding up and jailing the lot of them.

Judging by the discussions attracted to their web forum, I would say they are.\n\nDon't let whether they are or not Christian colour your view of whether or not you like them.

The coordinated efforts of islamic forces is not new; just look at Kosovo and Chechnya.  We've read of converted muslims leaving the US to help these efforts abroad.  The main problem, and the thing the average american doesn't realize, is most of these forces have personnel trained by US special forces and/or CIA when we assisted Iraq during the Iran/Iraq war and in aid of Afghanistan during the Afghan-Soviet war, so it's going to become increasingly difficult to capture key persons when they have our playbook (for that terrain)\n\nIf anyone knows future al-Quida movements, they surely couldn't share them in this forum.  As an opinion, I feel a strong effort needs to be initiated to work with the ruling bodies in the region so that stronger governments arise, lessening the attraction of these off-shoot groups.  The only way this is feasible is if we start approaching the leaders from a position they are more comfortable with and that begins with sending envoys who understand and appreciate their culture.  Just as the FBI couldn't infiltrate the Black Panthers due to lack of black agents, we won't be able to gain full confidence until we can send some US representives over with whom the common man in the Mid East can relate.  The problem is, I'm not sure that is a priority and I worry that diplomacy is taking a back seat.  Egypt is increasingly turning anti-American on a grassroots level and you see more and more persons of higher stature (professors, physicians, lawyers) becoming involved in local politics in the region and they aren't preaching US policy.

Well, they ARE newer to the game of soccer, but they've got a lot of potential.  I can't give them a rating, as of yet...because most of my extra time spent watching is watching MY team, Manchester United..but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, and hope they'll get to the semi-final arena at the very least.  They've got some decent players, Freddie is one, and I truly hope, that the two left playing in the final matches are England and USA.  And if THAT happens...I'll be rooting for both!\n\nPS...yes, I know, got my hopes set really HIGH...ah well, one can only hope, pray and dream! :)

First of all, the Black Panthers was not a racist group; they were a group of Black people who came together to oppose the continuous oppression that was (and still) going on. The organization opposed drugs and denounced unnecessary violence. They did not go to start fights, however they did DEFEND themselves. The organization was intended to raise the Black community from the dependent state that it was (and still) in. \n\nSecond of all, it is true that the FBI intentionally placed drugs and weapons (first drugs, then weapons) in accessible places. They also put other pro-Black organizations against one another to kill each other off. The FBI had a covert operation to destroy the Black Panthers.\n\n"In August 1967, the FBI initiated a covert action program -- COINTELPRO -- to disrupt and "neutralize" organizations which the Bureau characterized as "Black Nationalist Hate Groups." 1 The FBI memorandum expanding the program described its goals as:\n\n1. Prevent a coalition of militant black nationalist groups.... \n\n2. Prevent the rise of a messiah who could unify and electrify the militant nationalist movement ... Martin Luther King, Stokely Carmichael and Elijah Muhammad all aspire to this position.... \n\n3. Prevent violence on the part of black nationalist groups.... \n\n4. Prevent militant black nationalist groups and leaders from gaining respectability by discrediting them.... \n\n5. . . . prevent the long-range growth of militant black nationalist organizations, especially among youth."\n\nTo sum up the Black Panther Party was not a racist organization, rather an organization that promoted, self-love, self-respect, self-defense, and self-reliance in the Black community, something that was (and still is) considered as a threat to the mainstream American population. To end this problem of the Black man possibly rising in ranks, the White man, excuse me the FBI, infiltrated the Party with drugs to kill the mind and the spirit, and then with weapons to totally eliminate them from the world. In simple words, the Black Panther Party was a threat therefore the US government deminished its existence.

Okay....I was taking this question seriously until I read "That's why they wear a lot of black."  LOL\n\nI guess I should pray for them to stop being sneaky and wearing black.

Although they have been the champions of blacks who have been oppressed and treated like dirt over the years in the United States, those days have pretty much gone by the wayside for the most part. Oh granted there are and always will be racisim and there is nothing tha can be done about it sadly. The unfortunate part of the NAACP is that because there are no more real hard core causes for them to mount, they have a tendency to go on crusades for asinine reasons, only to make themselves look even more foolish when you bring Jesse Jackson or worse...that simpleton Al Sharpton aboard. Of course the ACLU is the same way. Any cause just to let you know that they are still around. I think that if they re-evaluated their agendas and lobbied for real issues that may arise instead of pushing to make ebonics a second language they could once again be a moving force and one you could begin to take seriuosly once again instead of looking at everything they lobby for with a skewed eye.

I'm, with you!! It's old, trite and outdated. But, it is new to the younger crowd. \n\nBut, maybe some of them will actually live the so called punk lifestyle, rebel, and actually "revolt" and cause some sort of social change...Yeah right.\n\nNever mind the bollocks...
