And how the DOJ may or may not prosecute them.

The KKK had a series of propaganda movies shown to the public, they were at one point deeply involved in politics, and had more followers.
However their beliefs are very close regarding racial discrimination. Joined: Feb 6, Messages: 4, Likes Received: 3, The Black Panther movement did not start out as being racist, they started in order to protect there community from police brutality.
Although they did focus on race more than they should of they where not racist. However the "new black panthers" are completely racist and where created by the government. The FBI infiltrated the black panthers and changed there rhetoric from liberation to black nationalism.

For neo-Nazis and Klansmen in Charlottesville, one means, a torch-lit parade meant to intimidate by evoking bygone days of racial terrorism, was deeply objectionable; more importantly, their end, spreading white-supremacist ideology in service of a future where racists can lord power over Jews and people of color, is abhorrent.
Is it really just about resisting fascists or does it have a greater, less-defensible agenda? Then there is Black Lives Matter. If you disagree with any of my characterizations about the means and ends of those groups, we are at odds over facts, not values, and I am open to seeing evidence that challenges my assessment of a complicated matter. Bearing that in mind can make hashing out the truth less fraught and more likely to proceed constructively and profitably. Plus, unlike Nazis, nothing about the future it desires is inseparable from initiating violence.
It is a large, freewheeling movement without clear leaders, and individual participants have no doubt acted badly on many occasions, as is true of groups as varied as the Sons of Liberty in , anti — Vietnam War protesters, and the Tea Party. I have criticized Black Lives Matter activists in the past for disrupting a Bernie Sanders event and for the tactic of blocking freeways. But I draw a distinction between objectionable acts of civil disobedience and engaging in violence.
Some Black Lives Matter critics blame the group for the killing of five Dallas police officers. But the gunman acted alone, using tactics that the protest movement never urged or used, and group leaders denounced the killings. The group has the same relationship to the Dallas killer as nonviolent anti-abortion-rights groups have to the extremist who perpetrated a mass killing at a Planned Parenthood.
The second Klan was established in , partially inspired by The Birth of a Nation , which glorified the first Klan. This Klan thrived up until the late s, although its end came one year before the end of World War II in The second Klan was largely focused on opposing Catholics, Jews, and new immigrants, as well as its continued terror towards black Americans.
Though in limited numbers — sources deduce a few thousands — the third Klan still exists today. They violently targeted black Americans, Catholics, Jews, and new immigrants, especially non-Anglo Saxons. The Klan, famous for their cross-burning, were and are white supremacists, terrorists, and in spite of their alignment to Protestants, have been rejected and condemned by almost all recognized Christian denominations and groups. It is this group that is often paralleled to The Black Panther Party.
But is this accurate? The brainchild of Dr. Huey P. The Ku Klux Klan still exists because of the fears some have a changing world which they do not understand nor wish to see.
The changes I have noticed in our society over the last 30 years are amazing. The acceptance of inter-racial couples and mixed-race children has become nearly universal. Seeing women and minorities in positions of power is no longer even notable because it is everywhere. There are still pockets of bigotry and racism, but they no longer have anything close to universal acceptance.
On the other hand, there is a need by people who really seek to transform the US into a socialist or communist country. They use the politics of division to distract as many people as possible so they can implement their socioeconomic agenda, which remains too unpopular to pass on its own merits. Using techniques published by Saul Alinsky in the 60s, these politicians seek to divide the population by convincing us that there has been no progress made in the rights and opportunities of women and minorities, and that anybody who denounces socialist or progressive policies are racist and bigoted.
This explains why a hate group such as the New Black Panther Party is accepted and their hateful antics are ignored. These techniques were used by the Jacobins during the French Revolution and the Bolsheviks during the Soviet Revolution, among many other groups. The modern Democrat party is now fully operating in this fashion. The power and influence of the old KKK was garnered by people who feared change.
The rising power and influence of the New Black Panther Party is derived by those who seek to radically transform the country into a socialist or communist country. Both groups seek to divide us by races and are equally bad for the United States.
