The New Black Panther Party is a virulently racist and anti-Semitic organization...

These people have nothing to do with the Black Panther Party.

There are also white separatist groups of this type, lots of them.

New Black Panther Party

Founded: 1989 Location: Washington, D.C.

Ideology: Black Separatist The New Black Panther Party is a virulently racist and anti-Semitic organization whose leaders have encouraged violence against whites, Jews and law enforcement officers. Founded in Dallas, the group today is especially active on the East Coast, from Boston to Jacksonville, Fla. The group portrays itself as a militant, modern-day expression of the black power movement (it frequently engages in armed protests of alleged police brutality and the like), but principals of the original Black Panther Party of the 1960s and 1970s— a militant, but non-racist, left-wing organization —have rejected the new Panthers as a "black racist hate group" and contested their hijacking of the Panther name and symbol.

...

Members of the original Black Panther Party, which has no connection to the NBPP, have heavily criticized the New Black Panther Party. An open letter from the Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation, which is run by members of the original Black Panther Party, decries the NBPP for being a hateful and unconstructive group. Bobby Seale, a famous founding member of the original Panthers, calls the organization "a black racist hate group."

2. yes but when the right has its back to the wall on some racial issue, it's their goto false front

black militant organization. Right on queue, with SYG under assault due to the disgusting racist murder of Trayvon Martin, with the entire hate filled gun obsessed agenda of the right laid bare, NBPP runs up a flag for the usual suspects to point at.

And like trained hunting dogs, they are all pointing away.

How many people are even members of this group?

17. You're risking the thread sent off to the Gungeon

Furthermore, this group claims it would "teach" the black community about armed self-defense. The arrogance of this claim is overwhelmed by its reactionary nature. Blacks, especially in the South, have been armed in self-defense for a very long time; indeed, the spiritual parent of the Party itself was the Louisiana-based Deacons for Defense. However, the Party understood that the gun was not necessarily revolutionary, for the police and all other oppressive forces had guns. It was the ideology behind the gun that determined its nature.

5. too bad there seems to be little that the original principals can do about the use of the name.

16. What, not copyrighted or something? Seems like they could stop them that way.

They appear to be a RW group set up to disparage all civil rights organizations.
