From Wikipedia
In April 1977 Panthers were key supporters of the 504 Sit-ins, the longest of which was the 25-day occupation of the San Francisco Federal Building by over 120 people with disabilities. Panthers provided daily home-cooked meals in support of the protest’s eventual success, which eventually led to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)thirteen years later.
They also were allied with groups of confederate rednecks with the understanding “we have incredibly different worldviews, but we’re both poor and it’s because of the rich folks in power”
The three-letter-agencies could not allow that kind of class consciousness so they assassinated Fred Hampton.
And we’re still poor because of the rich folks in power. The next step is obvious, TAX THE RICH!!!
TAX THE RICH!!!
Taxing the rich isn’t going to solve squat.
Every peaceful rights movement has a less-than-peaceful counterpart that’s willing to go just a little bit farther for rights.
Yet the peaceful ones are the only ones who get credit. Why do you think that is?
Look up COINTEL PRO before you accuse the black panthers of being problematic
I hope you didn’t think I was accusing the Black Panthers of anything!
I read your comment as insinuating only peaceful movements are successful, but I now realise there is another meaning to it.
