Panthers not racist

The Black Panther Party were never anti-white racists. Certainly the mainstream media presented them as such, but it was completely false. The Panthers had good working relationships with the white left, and many others. To verify this all you have to do would read the classic works like huey and bobby's autobiographies or Foner's classic THE BLACK PANTHERS SPEAK.

Indeed, instead of the slogan "Black Power" the BPP said "All Power to the People". Fred Hampton dubbed the phrase "Rainbow Coalition," because the Panthers believe in all oppressed groups (including gays and women) should unite to abolish the capitalist system and all the horrible things that come along with that.

The BPP were true working class revolutionaries, unlike these bonehead fascists like the KSS. Remember that Fascists and Nazis always had "working class" rhetoric. SO, while fascism was portrayed as working class liberation, it was actually about further enslaving the workers to the ruling class.
