Episode 161: Who were the Black Panthers?

• Scenario 1: Farien heard that the Black Panthers used to carry concealed firearms whenever they had meetings. Does this mean the Black Panthers were a pro-violence militia?

• Scenario 2: Quivina is a college student that caught wind of a new group that said they were the resurrection of the true Black Panther party. She got shivers thinking that this group may cause civil unrest on her campus because of their pro-black mantra. Is it possible to be pro-black and not racist? 

• Scenario 3: Lesere’s grandfather was part of the Black Panther party, which inspired Lesere to join the Black Lives Movement. A few weeks later, she was contacted by federal agents that told her not to attend a political national convention as she would be labeled a Black Identity Extremist and possibly detained for questioning. Should Lesere quit BLM and just focus on her day job because of these new threats?
