Are the black panthers still around?


I live in the U.K, I was wondering if the black panthers are still around?

It's nice you ask for that.

Right back in 2003 the New Black Panther Party started a chapter in London.

I worked for the NBPP as an artist for their paper "The New Black Panther".

They had a reunion a couple of years ago, the ones that weren't dead or in jail. So I guess so.

Yeah there is a new breed even called the New Black Panther Party. This party however is not really like the old ones. According to Bobby Seale and other former panthers, they disgrace the name. They have more people joining today not to protect Black people but to preach hatred of whites specifically police, and jews. They are primarily comprised of Blacks who are half assed militants and or gangsters such as BGF and Five Percenter members.

I agree they seem to be more of a hate group and not about pride and acceptance like the original Panthers. I've been trying to find a group online or whatever that is about pride and helping others but all of them preach hate and most of them seem to hate blacks that do things that they don't agree with like being homosexual, being in a interracial marriage or relationship, etc. . It's so hypocritical to talk about sticking together but then hate your own for not living the way you think they should.
