Are you Serious?

I have been watching the ebb and flow (here lately) of the New Black Panther Party and must say that I am just flabbergasted. I even went as far as to go on to the New Black Panther Party's (NBPP) and see what they are about. Here I found a list of 10 "demands" set forth by the NBPP. I wanted to just hit a few and give my stupid white American cop opinion. I have cut the length of each point to save space. You can read the full points on the NBPP website.

1. We want freedom. We want the power to practice self-determination, and to determine the destiny of our community and THE BLACK NATION. We believe that Black People will not be free until we are able to determine our Divine Destiny.

You are free bud. If you live in America you are. You do determine you own destiny. Why are you demanding a power that you already posses? We hold these truths to be self-evident, that ALL MEN are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. The power to make things better for yourself is right there, unless it involved killing cracker babies.

2. We want full employment for our people and we demand the dignity to do for ourselves what we have begged the white man to do for us. We believe that since the white man has kept us deaf, dumb and blind, and used every dirty trick in the book to stand in the way of our freedom and independence, that we should be gainfully employed until such time we can employ and provide for ourselves. We believe further in: POWER IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE! WEALTH IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE! ARMS IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE!

Hey, Everyone needs a job. I can't argue with you on that one. But are you supposed to just be handed a job because you think you are entitled to one? I will again point to the words above "Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness". To be brutally honest, all anyone is entitled to is to be born, to make a life of yourself and death. Dignity is not something you demand. It's something you either have for yourself or you don't. And I don't know who it is that has kept you deaf, dumb and blind, but if you dropped out of school or didn't take the opportunities that were afforded to you like a free public education, that's on you - nobody else.

3. We want tax exemption and an end to robbery of THE BLACK NATION by the CAPITALIST. We want an end to the capitalistic domination of Africa in all of its forms: imperialism, criminal settler colonialism, neo-colonialism, racism, sexism, zionism, Apartheid and artificial borders.
We believe that this wicked racist government has robbed us, and now we are demanding the overdue debt of reparations. A form of reparations was promised 100 years ago (forty acres and a mule) as restitution for the continued genocide of our people and to in meaningful measure and repair the damage for the AFRICAN HOLOCAUST.

You and me both, I would love to be exempt from paying taxes. But guess what.... it ain't happening. And reparations? If you just want a free hand out say it. I don't owe you anything, period. And for reparations to work, something would have to be taken from me against my will (ie.. taxes) and given to you. That's call theft of property, and it is a crime in most states. If my great great granddad told your great great granddad that he promised to give him a new screwdriver, cause he broke your great great granddads screwdriver, then it is on pappy. I don't owe you for a screwdriver. If pappy failed to give what he promised then it's on him.

4. We want decent housing, fit for shelter of human beings, free health-care (preventive and maintenance). We want an end to the trafficking of drugs and to the biological and chemical warfare targeted at our people.
We believe since the white landlords will not give decent housing and quality health care to our Black Community, the he housing, the land, the social, political and economic institutions should be made into independent UUAMAA New African Communal/Cooperatives so that our community, with government reparations and aid (until we can do for ourselves) can build and make drug free, decent housing with health facilities for our people.

I am starting to see a pattern here (We want Free...) I don't know anyone living in a rice hut. Even in the projects, those apartments are built way better than my house. Now as far as the "making it drug free", if you got people slinging dope on the corners. Do something about it. Get involved. Call the police, point out the person slinging. Don't be scared of them. Band together as a community and run these people out. As far as the free health care is concerned.... We'll see what the future holds for that.

5. We want education for our people that exposes the true nature of this devilish and decadent American society. We want education that teaches us our true history/herstory and our role in the present day society.

Well I want the truth in history to be taught as well. I believe that things get twisted in the history books as well. Some of what you are talking about is on you. If you wait on some government group to teach you then you are at the mercy of what they decide is best for you to learn.

6. We want all Black Men and Black Women to be exempt from military service.
We believe that Black People should not be forced to fight in the military service to defend a racist government that holds us captive and does not protect us. We will not fight and kill other people of color in the world who, like Black People, are being victimized by the white racist government of America. We will protect ourselves from the force and violence of the racist police and the racist military, by any means necessary.

As far as military service is concerned, I don't think the draft is in effect, ..... so if you don't want to serve in the military, you don't have to. Good Lord.... victim, victim, victim. I am not even going to.... whatever!

7. We want an immediate end to POLICE HARRASSMENT, BRUTALITY and MURDER of Black People. We want an end to Black-on-Black violence, snitching, cooperation and collaboration with the oppressor.
We believe we can end police brutality in our community by organizing Black self-defense groups (Black People's Militias/Black Liberation Armies) that are dedicated to defending our Black Community from racist, fascist, police/military oppression and brutality. The Second Amendment of white America's Constitution gives a right to bear arms. We therefore believe that all Black People should unite and form an African United Front and arm ourselves for self-defense.

If the police are harassing and murdering you. That's one thing. But if you just burglarized the Circle K and are making off with the money, Little Debbie's and cigarettes, then I don't feel sorry for you at all. And after the high speed pursuit, after you wrecked your car, don't call those injuries police brutality. And I didn't know the Constitution was specifically for whites. Refer to the ALL MEN are created equal statement above. Militia's? Do you really want to show up on a traffic stop or domestic violence call with a group of gun totin' vigilantes? Well that's on you too. You'll have to cross that bridge by yourself.

8. We want freedom for all Black Men and Black Women held in international, military, federal, state, county, city jails and prisons.
We believe that all Black People and people of color should be released from the many jails and prisons because they have not received a fair and impartial trial. Released means released to the lawful authorities of the Black Nation.

And who is the lawful authorities of the Black Nation. I'm just curious. Look every person in any one race is not automatically good people. All white people are not all good ,just like they are not all bad. Same with every other race. I am sure there are people in Jail that do not belong there. But, it would be retarded to set everyone free that are in jail just because.

9. We want all Black People when brought to trial to be tried in a court by a jury of their peer group or people from their Black Communities, as defined by white law of the Constitution of the United States.
We believe that the courts should follow their own law, if their nature will allow (as stated in their Constitution of the United States) so that Black People will receive fair trials. The 6th Amendment of the United States Constitution gives a man/woman a right to an impartial trial, which has been interpreted to be a fair trial by one's peer group. A peer is a person from a similar economic, social, religious, geographical, environmental, historical and racial background. To do this, the court will be forced to select a jury from the Black Community from which the Black defendant came. We have been and are being tried by all white juries that have no understanding of the average reasoning person of the Black Community.

Though I don't 100% agree, I'll give you that one. I do however think I have a pretty good understanding of the average reasoning person in the Black Community. If someone a family member in the Black Community then they would probably be mad as hell, hey just like me under the same circumstances. Go figure.

10. WE DEMAND AN END TO THE RACIST DEATH PENALTY AS IT IS APPLIED TO BLACK AND OPPRESSED PEOPLE IN AMERICA. WE DEMAND FREEDOM FOR ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS OF THE BLACK RED AND BROWN NATION!

See, I think that if you have done a crime so heinous that they death penalty was brought into play, then that's what you deserve. Red, Yellow, Black and White. It don't matter. There are things call consequences that happen when you do something bad. Don't do the crime if you can't, or are unprepared to face the consequences.

There were some more points on the site, but I'll give my two cents on those later. And for what its worth. Nothing I have said was meant in any racist manner. I am not a racist nor do I condone ANY type of racism from ANY group of people towards another.

It appears that ALL of these demands could be met, very economically, with a one-way ticket to the African nation of their choice. When would they like to go.
