Go to WITHOUTSANCTUARY.COM and tell me who the real terrorists were. It is due to the mental derangement of people who felt that black people should remain docile and in a state of apartheid and oppression.
It was always said that slave masters had to sleep with one eye open and a rifle nearby. When you oppress someone that you know has just as much rights as you do, you can never rest easy. That was the United States and Black people during the sixties. When the Black Panther party and other black people mobilized to fight for their god given rights, they were demonized.
A Supreme Court Ruling by Chief Justice Taney stated, " A black man has no rights a white man is bound to respect."
That in itself was Americas sanctioning of TERRORISM against a class of people solely based on the color of their skin.
Black people who dared to challenge the U. S. Government and rallied black people nationwide to fight against second class citizenship were demonized. That is what happened to the Black Panther Party and the man who had a great influence on them: Malcolm X.
Malcolm X:
"If violence is wrong in America, violence is wrong abroad. If it is wrong to be violent defending black women and black children and black babies and black men, then it is wrong for America to draft us, and make us violent abroad in defense of her. And if it is right for America to draft us, and teach us how to be violent in defense of her, then it is right for you and me to do whatever is necessary to defend our own people right here in this country."
Speech, Nov. 1963, New York City.
"I believe that there will ultimately be a clash between the oppressed and those that do the oppressing. I believe that there will be a clash between those who want freedom, justice and equality for everyone and those who want to continue the systems of exploitation."
Malcolm X.
After the end of Slavery in 1865, the United States endorsed and embraced a regime that essentially betrayed the promises made to their newly freed citizens. As a result, the former slaves were faced with Black Codes (laws that prevented newly freed slaves from owning property), the KKK, Jim Crow, Whitecapping, disenfranchisment, LYNCHING and segregation.
Think about it. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968. 103 years after slaves were freed and the United States allowed their tax-paying citizens to be attacked by K-9 dogs and fire hoses.
Q. Slavery happened so long ago. I am not responsible for it. Why can't we just forget it?
A. The nation's race problem, a structural economic inequality between the races, is directly traceable back to and across four centuries of slavery and Jim Crow apartheid (semi-slavery).Slavery and Jim Crow established and maintained imbalances between the races. Under these social and economic systems, nearly 100 percent of this nation's wealth and power resources, and controls of all levels of government, were mar-distributed into the hands of dominant white society. The advantages, preferences and wealth assets, in the form of stocks, bonds, shares, businesses, land, insurance benefits and trust accounts, are passed from one generation to the next through inheritance laws. Though whites today continue to enjoy the advantages of centuries of govemment-supported preferences for Whites, most live in a state of denial about how their group's wealth and power were acquired.
Q. Why should the U.S. government apologize to Blacks for slavery?
A. For centuries, this nation's "Government of, by and for the people" did not include the Black race. Without government support, neither slavery nor Jim Crow segregation could have long endured. The government has apologized to all other groups to whom it has committed offenses, except Blacks. Yet, Black Americans have borne the burden of every obligation this nation has had since 1619. Black Americans did not confiscate nearly two billion acres of land from Native Americans. However, for more than four centuries, Blacks paid taxes and their life blood so that Whites who did confiscate the land could develop and enjoy it. Money out of Black pockets supported a federal Indian bureau and state commissions that gave Indians benefits that Blacks never received. Blacks did not start WWII, but money from their pockets made up the $13 billion that rebuilt German under the Marshall Plan and Japan under the Point Four Plan. Blacks did not intern Japanese Americans in the 1940s but helped to pay $22,000 in reparations awarded to each descendant in 1992.Real racial equality for Blacks in America begins with an apology and acknowledgment from the government that millions of Blacks were wrongfully used and killed. Economic justice and reparations must naturally follow.
Q. Were not the Civil War, the 13th 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution an apology?
A. History itself provides the answer to this question. The Civil War was fought for a number of reasons, but not to free black slaves. A primary reason was to relocate the slave-produced wealth and industries of the South to the North. Attitude surveys conducted on the eve of the Civil War reported that less than 2% of white Americans were willing to go to war with the South to free Black slaves. Ironically, the Civil War and the enactment of the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments, ended full slavery, but allowed Jim Crow semi-slavery to replace it within two years. Jim Crow semi-slavery continued until the late 1960s.

You sympathize with the Black Panthers, yet if you were WHITE, how would feel about the KKK
BOTH the Black Panthers and the KKK used VIOLENCE
There is NOTHING in Violence that could ever make things better for everyone in America.
OKAY, Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks are amongst the most highly respected black people in America because they believed in Non-violent approaches. MLK was killed for it, and Rosa Parks was arrested for it, but it was their legacy that inspired later generations.
Violence breeds MORE Violence. If you can't understand that, then why the heck do you think are we still in Iraq--killing others and get ourselves killed.

whilst a white individual takes components from a shop throughout a organic disaster, they’re attempting to proceed to exist. whilst a black individual takes components from a shop throughout a organic disaster, they’re robbing. The above is something a reporter wrote approximately in an editorial countless years in the past approximately typhoon Katrina. i've got confidence something comparable would properly be stated pertaining to to the Black Panthers. as a results of fact it’s an prepared team with African human beings, they are seen risky. notwithstanding, in the event that they have been an prepared team with whites, they may well be respected as human beings attempting to alter a foul device.

The history of societies is decided by the winners, the white won so they are terrorist. That is also why you don't have black history in most schools.

Probably has something to do with the shootings, bombings, and other terrorist activities they are involved in.
