Savant on the Black Panthers

IN Logic this is known as the "fallacy of weak analogy." First of all, the Black Panther Party was a REVOLUTIONARY and anti-racist organization. The KKK was/is a notoriously RACIST and REACTIONARY organization. Moreover, the KKK was a TERRORIST organization--like Al Qaeda, although they were WHITE and CHRISTIAN (mainly fundamentalist). They bombed Black Christian churches just as Muslim terrorists bomb mosques of other Muslims. As for the endless clap trap about Black on Black crime, history shows that just a oppression breeds dysfunction, the struggle against oppression tends to reduce it. Hence the Black crime rate dropping 60% in Montgomery during the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Or drugs, homicide and prostitute being radically reduced in many Black communities in the 1960s and early 70s when the Black Panthers or SNCC exercised great influence. Furthermore, Black on Black crime is not so extraordinary as people commonly think. Most WHITE crime is "white on white." But there's an interesting observation to be. Blacks DO worry about Black on Black crime as well a police terror. We don't obsess over white crime. We are indignant about WHITE RACISM. Probably most of us aren't worried about you raping and killing each other. Whites, who are mainly victimized by white criminals, worry themselves sick over Black crime , but not the WHITE CRIME from which they USUALLY suffer. A lot of whites really just have racist paranoia regarding Black people.

Also, there are a number of SCHOLARLY critiques of those statistics which indicate that Black crime is proportionately INFLATED in the records, and white crime often UNDER-COUNTED. What some scholars also note is that among the white poor, those whose lives most resemble the Black poor of the ghettoes or the Latin poor in their impoverished hoods---THOSE whites show dysfunctions similar to what you find in impoverished ghettoex and barrios. Also, there is a greater police brutality in poor white areas than one realizes. Perhaps oppressed whites need something similar to Panther Party to raise a revolutionary consciousness. Maybe something like the IWW. Then maybe you wouldn't have so many whites as DUMB as "justthefacts " who's too stupid the know the difference between a politically advanced thread like mine and all the really stupid threads so common in Topix.
