Re: Black Panthers getting a free pass?
I do agree that the comparison to the KKK isn't on par.
They are both groups that thrive on intolerance and racial prejudice. I think the difference is that the KKK had free run to carry out their agenda in the past. The black panthers never had that opportunity.
Had the KKK interfered with polling stations during the election......again.... I can only imagine the reaction.
We would be back to the DDOS'esq Valerie Plame type coverage that would not subside until someone fell slain.

And furthermore, if you are going to comment on a excerpt from a speech and compare it to killing people because of color, maybe you ought not precede your statement with "I haven't read the speech you guys are talking about". Or better yet don't comment at all, because what you just posted and the comparison you made is asinine, at best.

You and those that think like you have been able to voice your opinion, and the response so far has been a resounding yawn. Do you want to know why? It isn't a double standard that is in place, putting the quoted words in the context of the speech, there was nothing that she said that can be argued as racist.

For the most part people outside philly are going to be more upset than those in philly. I lived there many of my family still live there. Racism is not new there and breaking laws are not new there. We use to kid every night watching the news if they didn't mention someone getting murdered then they haven't found the body yet. So there will be at least 2 tomorrow.
Crist you can walk down the street and literally have people asking loudly for everyone to hear "anybody need a dime bag". Cops in plain view. It's different there than any other place I have been including Compton. Of which by the way isn't that bad after you live in philly.
There is a reason why philly was #2 for decades on the highest murder rate list following only Detroit. A couple black panthers standing in front of a door is nothing to be concerned with. Even with one holding a night stick.
The area they are in is primarily black. The city is sectioned to death with white areas and black areas. There are streets that the oposite color do not drive down period. The wrong color cops get shot much less a unarmed person.
But on the up side philly has the best subs. No where can you get a sub like a philly from Dukes.
