Stupid question moment: can white people join BPP?
They have this on their website.
The new logo's a lot nicer!
that website takes me to this.
Thank you
There's a more info button under that that leads to the Privacy Policy text above.
There used to be something called the White Panthers. Thankfully, not a KKK branch; it was basically just the white faction of the Black Panthers.
We might need them even more: part of the reason most black communities have stayed silent is because even peacefully protesting (while black) is enough for racist America to see it as a riot and demand the National Guard.
They can join the Rainbow Coalition if it still exists.
Google the name Fred Hampton and you will learn a lot about what America is.
Judas and the Black Messiah is a cracking film.
You can see why they were fucking terrified of him.
50+ years old and Im still learning new horrors on the daily. Thnx
You are very welcome my fellow human. When you are done with Fred Hampton you can maybe look into Leonard Peltier or Mumia Abu Jamal.
RATM was very influential to me back in the 90's
FREE PELTIER AND MUMIA!
Zach de la Rocha: "Mumia, guan, be free"
Add to the pile:
Joining with the rainbow means there will be every color of panther.
The pink panther is my idol.
If you stand me outside this time of year, i'm so white i'll turn pink :)
white panther party
