The First thing to know about The Black Panther Party…

Perhaps the first thing to understand about the Black Panther Party for Self Defense, was that it wasn’t and is not a Racist Organization. While although the Party’s Purpose is to serve and Liberate African American Oppressed People. It was and is not in any sense the African American Equivalent to the Ku Klux Klan or the Nazi Skin Head Groups.

The Party grew out of the oppression, constant harassment and Police terror plaguing African American Communities throughout America. But during and since the Panther Party’s Founding, there has been negative propaganda promoting the Party as a gun-toting, “Govt” hating Racist Group.

But nothing can be further from the truth. The primary duties of the BPP was that of organizing dozens of Community Programs, Educational Training, Tutoring and Feeding the Youth and tending to the elderly. All other efforts went to running the Black Panther Party Newspaper.

Here was one of the first things to know. And as you subscribe and continue further into our Blog, you will truly know what it is to be a Panther. All Power to the People!!
