ORIGINAL: Charles6682 Both of these groups are a disgrace to humanity.The only thing they have in common is their intolerance of other races.I could care less for any form of racism period.Its not racism in reverse or racism on both sides of the fence.Its racism period.The only way true racism will end is when ALL people put aside their difference. That said,society as a whole has become alot better when it comes to race relations and that should not be ignored.However,there is clearly still racist elements out there and that should not be ignored either.I guess there will probaly always be a few bad apples out of every tree.I guess you cleary cant change that.At least society as a whole has come a long way and that is what matters the most. I know that the old Black Panther Party was all about organizing school lunches, and education, and other community-oriented activities. While there were a couple confrontations with the poleece (more than one of which was provoked by Oakland's finest), by and large the "militant" stance was just playing the media, something Abbie Hoffman was also an expert at.
