1. The FBI are the ones who murdered people in the 60's

Hoover hated black people and didn't want anybody standing up to the ugly racism in this country, so he ordered them to be eliminated.
It was the exact same thing with the American Indian Movement.

7. The FBI

I remember the times very well and the Black Panthers would have been a good reason for the assault weapons ban.

2. Stupid kids

They don't even know who he is. I'm sure they don't remember when Judge Hoffman had him bound to a chair and gagged during the trial.

Stupid, stupid kids doing the bidding of a bunch of cranky old men who still hold a grudge.

3. Brainwasher by bitter uninformed parents.

4. Wages of COINTELPRO Still Evident in Omaha Black Panther Case

by Ward Churchill

In 1980, former FBI Director L. Patrick Grey and Edward S. Miller, one-time head of Squad 47, the domestic counterintelligence unit in the FBI's New York Field Office, were convicted of having "conspired to injure and oppress the citizens of the United States." The context of their crimes was COINTELPRO, a secret, nationwide campaign conducted by the Bureau from 1956-1971 for purposes of destroying "politically objectionable" organizations and individuals through any and every means available to it.In 1975, an invesigating committee headed by Senator Frank Church found that the operation had, from start to finish, be "fraught with illegality."

Neither Grey nor Miller ever spent a day in jail as a result of their convictions. In April 1981, President Ronald Reagan interupted their appeals to announce that he was bestowing pardons on both men. The reason stated was that their miseddeds had occurred during an especially turbulent and divisive period in American history. It was time to "put all this behind us," Reagan said, and "to forgive those who engaged in excesses" during the political conflicts of the era.

At the time, it was pointed out that if this were to be Reagan's policy, it would be at least as appropriate for him to pardon the numerous victims of COINTELPRO as to forgive its perpetrators. We noted how the Church Committee had discovered that a COINTELPRO technique had been to use the courts to "neutralize" selected activists by obtaining false convictions against them, that the FBI typically involved local police in such endeavors, and that of all the groups targeted in this manner the Black Panther Party (BPP) had been hit hardest and most extensively.

6. These meatheads would do well to listen to Bobby...

In my opinion, Bobby Seale was the most articulate speaker of the whole Black Panther movement. I don't think these idiots even understand why the are supposed to hate Bobby Seale, other than maybe some white wing-nut told them "he's bad, he's a commie pinko!"
LOL!

9. Sorry - but I like Bobby - these folks dump on a guy who sat in jail for

3 years for no real crime.

10. I have his book, and it sucks ....

All the recipes appear to be for an army, so I have to scale back the proportions a bit for my family of three. ;) Mmmm Ribs may be on my horizon!

Bobby Seale has pure thoughts and I'm in his camp.

And those ribs sound like a good idea!
