And cookie bakers evidently…

That depends on who you ask.

Either way, the BPP was never comparable to the KKK.

84

One group is replaced by another… It will never be eradicated.

85

Perhaps not in size, but they did an awful lot of evil things and they WERE absolutely as racist as the KKK.

86

The ideology of the BPP was not racist at all - and while the history of the party is complicated, they were never an anti-white terrorist group comparable to the KKK.

I’m not playing with this game. Yes it has. Multiple time. There are a ton of videos where it happens
Hell, I’ll be happy to do a experiment with you. Go stand at your towns main street with a BLM poster in your hand for a hour and record what happens, I’ll stand at my main street with a MAGA hat and record what happens.

So why are you comparing the 2?

89

They got into a lot of things that weren’t necessarily directed at whites, but there sure as heck wasn’t any love lost…

90

Again. I’m not comparing the two groups in ideology. I’m comparing the hatred that is directed at them. If you were assaulted or killed by someone who targeted you because of their hate towards you, would it matter to you who it was or why you were attacked?

91

White people, as a general group, never have had reason to fear the Black Panthers.

The converse cannot be said for the KKK.

Only one of those “gentlemen” belonged there he was a bona fide “poll watcher” with credentials. The other was… well he claimed to be part of the “New Black Panther Party” and was asked by the police to move on.

93

It’s not a game. No they haven’t. One has been attacked just for holding a BLM sign or wearing a cap or T-shirt.

94

But odd you picked MAGA and Klan?

Like I said, people have been assualted over the years for all sorts of stupid reasons.

So i go back to same point.

All of us should be upset at anyone wearing a klan outfit.

95

As ussal, you are wrong, can be eaisly proven wrong.

1st one “attacked”? What happened before he stopped? Where were they.

2nd one they never touched him.

3rd one watch the whole video. I did.

97

I have. This is the game I’m not playing. You make a statement that is demonstrable false.
You are called out and shown it’s false. Anyone can see your statement is wrong.

And then you come up with 1000 bs reasons that are just far fetched and wrong as opposed to admit you were wrong “You don’t know what happened before the video?”. Please.

1st video The guy was arrested and plead guilty and asked for forgiveness. Even he doesn’t try to make silly excuses like you did.

Ok, one.

Corrected.

@PeterGriffin has been pointing it out but I think the significance of the ending of the consent decree in regards to the OP remains understated.

The decree, which dated to 1982, arose from a Democratic National Committee lawsuit charging the RNC with seeking to discourage African-Americans from voting through targeted mailings warning about penalties for violating election laws and by posting armed, off-duty law enforcement officers at the polls in minority neighborhoods.

Recent recordings of Trump campaign meetings reveal a focus on this:

He put the mission bluntly: “Traditionally it’s always been Republicans suppressing votes … [Democrats’] voters are all in one part of the state, so let’s start playing offense a little bit. And that’s what you’re going to see in 2020. That’s what’s going to be markedly different. It’s going to be a much bigger program, a much more aggressive program, a much better-funded program, and we’re going to need all the help we can get.” (Clark later claimed that his remarks had been misconstrued, but his explanation made no sense in context.)

Of all the favorable signs for Trump’s Election Day operations, Clark explained, “first and foremost is the consent decree’s gone.” He was referring to a court order forbidding Republican operatives from using any of a long list of voter-purging and intimidation techniques. The expiration of that order was a “huge, huge, huge, huge deal,” Clark said.

Was the consent decree nation-wide?

What did the Republicans do to earn it?

Even the op ed here liked that one.
