    Not only did they do that. The Black panther party was just a shortening of their real name. The Black panther party for self-defense.

    This is just another example of wealthy white bigots controlling the narrative for their advantage. As is so often the case. So many things people perceive they know. Are completely false or based on half truths. A few years ago I had heard a good documentary series with the interviews with surviving members of the original Black panther party for self-defense. On one of the Pacifica stations. Pretty sure it was the one out of California considering the subject matter. I wish we had one locally though. They cover things that you will never see touched upon through capitalist outlets. Even PBS is loathe to acknowledge or touch on a lot of the history and insight they deal in regularly.

        You got reading comprehension? I linked it because it states it… Being a .gov site doesn’t automatically make something right or wrong. But even that site acknowledges the actual name of the group.

          Being .gov means it’s run by the very same racist white bigots you proclaim won’t acknowledge the name of the group…acknowledging the name of the group.

            That would actually be the deep state. The federal government of the US is huge and its mostly the elected / appointed ones at the tippy top that are racist white bigots controlled by even racistiet whiteier plutocrats.

            This is why a big chunk of the Heritage Society’s Project 2025 is to fire all those deep state non-partisans and replace them with Jesus-fearing MAGA loyalist white bigots, because the non-partisan employees aren’t white enough or bigoted enough.
