I know I probably don't need to state the obvious...but you see what happened to Fred Hampton. Ironically it is the same "white privilege" and benefits of belonging to the oppressing group, which they rejected, that actually served to protect them from lengthy prison times or death. This is the very dynamic that they hated. Racism in this particular context works to their advantage. Wow..how is one suppose to really feel about that?!!

Maybe cause they were puppets of the system to begin with while the black panther movement was actually a genuine resistance movement.

Puppets you say? Can you give a little more detail on that please?

Meaning they were a fake civil rights groups taking orders from the cia much like many other inside groups parading around as activists. This sort of insider spying has been going around to this day. Occupy walls treet was a creation of the CIA ment to distract americans from the real controllers of this country. And i don't mean wall street.

nyshyguy84 is the textbook dope who believes in a revisionist history that the Black Panthers effected a more significant change in their American "revolution" than the WU or any other similar group from that period.
