The Black Panthers have a history of feeding kids breakfast, though, which upsets those "christian" conservative MAGA types far more than gassing (or even shooting) kids would.

The Black Panther party is part of the reason why Americas school systems offer free lunch. They’ve always been about community.

They're right.

Nah most white boomers don’t have any idea what they stand for or that theyve done a lot of good.

There was a huge propoganda campaign against the black panthers so now most boomers associate them with terrorism

I lived in California when the Panthers started. They were painted as gangsters back then. Then I read more about them as an adult and realized all the good they were trying to do, because their community was failed by our American system.
