Raw Story

A Texas gun club named after one of the founders of the Black Panthers Party marched in Dallas on Wednesday to protest against police brutality, KTXA-TV reported.

Around two dozen members of the Huey P. Newton Gun Club carried rifles and red, black and green flags as they marched through the city’s south side, sometimes chanting in support of Michael Brown, the 18-year-old man killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, on Aug. 9.

“If they don’t get these killer cops and corrupt cops under control,” a member identifying himself as Commander Drew X was quoted as saying. “What happened in Ferguson is going to be nationwide.”

2. exactly--it's just trying to play the game better than the people who rewrote the rules

but it's still clever, hilarious, and points out their hypocrisy

3. Black people carrying guns = thugs, criminals

At least in the eyes of many racist right-wingers

4. This is how open-carry was outlawed in Calif under Reagan.

The Black Panther party was open carrying so Calif outlawed it.

5. Unpossible! I was assured that any AA open-carry demonstration...

...would result in arrests and/or gunfire.

7. Now THIS is open-carry I can definitely support

We're all Bozos on this bus. If we ever want to see a post-racial America, we've got to start somewhere.

6. But the New Black Panthers are not the successors of the original BPP.

They're a farrakhanite front group, a bad propaganda effort from right wing intel.

8. Why the Hell not?

Perhaps more of this would scare the pencil-penis white wimps to go crying home to Mommy.
