    As a Panther I couldn’t make myself read this article. It starts off incorrect in the title.

    The New Black Panther Party is a separate organization completely from The Black Panther Party for Self Defence that got media attention recently. There’s several other small local Panther orgs around the country with different rules regarding non-black members. If you’re looking for an org that allows people of any race/color/creed, the United Panther Party may be your jam.

        Is there something about being white that is fundamentally different than any other liberal?

          They love to white knight marginalized groups. ‘You’ll be safe as long as we are around, you need us for your liberation’

              A majority, yes. You can tell by the comments here that white liberals are trying to colonize the conversation itself, telling a black author that wrote the story that she is wrong in what she believes despite being a black panther herself

                Seems a little racists to attribute a certain set of traits to a particular people based on their skin color, don’t you think? Even using the term majority would imply there are “good ones” in the white community which, again, is pretty racist.

                  So you find the black woman that wrote the article who’s speaking her truth is racist? Many liberals in general are so consumed with centering themselves in everyone’s movement they don’t see that they’re trying to take it over. They’re too concerned with optics and not results

                    I haven’t even mentioned the author. I’m pointing out overt racist comments. At least you got it right by attributing the things you don’t like to liberals as a group.

          White liberals are trash and are bigger obstacles to progress than Republicans. The person a shit ton of liberals were quoting yesterday said the same thing
