Theories Of The Black Panther Movement

For Instance, the Black Panther Party was a radical organization that challenged the status quo and a major response to pushback the work they were doing was to criminalize their behavior, in order to maintain the status quo and maintain whiteness.

Mens and Women’s Basketball games at High Point University differ however they both build a sense of Panther Nation. To analyzing the symbols of Panther Nation I attended the Men’s Basketball game against Campbell and I played in the Women’s Basketball game against Liberty. During the Men’s game I was a spectator watching in communion with the fans around me; however during the Women’s game I was a player analyzing the action on the court. Watching the games as a fan and a player offered me different perspectives of the Panther Nation.

The Black Panther Party was the most influential revolutionary group during the Civil Rights movement era. The BPP became a very strong political power. It influenced many government decisions and attracted the mass media. Yet, due to a number of reasons the BPP eventually collapsed. The Black Panther Party came to its demise due to government operations against it, various mistakes by the Party itself, and by short comings by its own leaders.

Malcom X and the Black Panthers demanded for personal empowerment in order to overcome second class citizenship. They explained black Nationalism as a philosophy motivated to help African Americans strive for personal empowerment, economic development and political activism. Malcom X was able to highlight how African Americans have never benefitted from America’s democracy, but rather been victimized by it’s hypocrisy. He further explained that in order for African Americans to reach this understanding of personal empowerment, they must take the fight beyond civil rights and expand it to human rights. Through this understanding of black nationalism, Malcom X believed the first step to empowering the African American community was to “Carry

Black panther party is an excellent example human behavior towards the injustice that existed in the society. The story takes place in Oakland, California where a few African American young men unite and group together to form a party. They monitor the behavior of officers of Oakland police department.

In the 1960’s and 1970’s left-wing extremist groups created a major concern for the United States government as well as the citizens of the country (Dempsey & Forst, 2016). The main group of this era was the Black Panther Party, spurred throughout a time of racial disparity in the name of equality, consequently, their actions were not peaceful (Perazzo, 2017). In the 1990’s, The New Black Panther Party was formed resembling their predecessors on the 1960’s. The philosophy that left-wing extremists use relates to their so-called protection of the American people. The main issue surrounding these groups is they use violence or intimidation in order to coerce the change they are seeking. The lives of innocent people are taken in the name of change

Founded on October 15th 1966 in Oakland, California, the Black Panther Party for Self Defense was an organization opposed to police brutality against the black community. The Party’s political origins were in Maoism, Marxism, and the radical militant ideals of Malcolm X and Che Guevara. From the doctrines of Maoism they saw the role of their Party as the frontline of the revolution and worked to establish a unified alliance, while from Marxism they addressed the capitalist economic system, and exemplified the need for all workers to forcefully take over means of production (Baggins, Brian). Mao was important to the Black Panthers because of his different stance on Marxism-Leninism when applied to Chinese peasants. The founders of the Black

With the recent increase in a greater diversity of characters in media, people have become more tolerant towards differences in other cultures. One such character is Black Panther. In most popular sources of media, people of color are not given the role of the main character; rather, they are supporting characters who are often overlooked by the leading white characters. The scarcity of people of color in media has resulted in many children of color not having a role model to revere who shares their same culture and experiences regarding their race. Black Panther is the first black superhero in mainstream American comics (Johnson). Created in July 1966 during the civil rights movements Black Panther has always been a very progressive character in the superhero genre. The time at which Black Panther was created contributes greatly to the attributes he depicts in the comics and movies. Black Panther’s persistence in completing his task reflects the tenacity shown by protestors during the civil rights movement. In many instances, the struggles which Black Panther undergoes are very similar to the hardships that African Americans faced during the civil rights movements. Black Panther teaches children about the injustices that they may face due to the color of their skin, in a medium that is appropriate for younger generations. The Black Panther franchise also shows children of color that their race should not limit them from achieving success.

     Organized in the 1960s at the height of the American Civil Rights Movement, the Black Panther Party emerged as a revolutionist group pioneering a strategy of militancy. The Party’s aims were to eliminate the discrimination challenging African-Americans in America since the time of slavery, and to protect their communities from police brutality. Inspired by contemporary radical leaders such as Malcolm X, the party recognized that in order to restructure American society so that civil equality was obtainable by all people, a much stronger opposition was necessary. Party members felt the passive resistance adopted by their predecessors fighting for equality proved

The symbol to represent Black Power was a geode. I chose this because I think that the majority of the community looked at the Black Panther group as dangerous and destructive, just like a geode looks ugly and distractive on the outside. Also, just like a geode there are many things that the Black Panthers, and the whole Black Power movement in general did to benefit their communities. I think this connects with a geode because when you finally crack open a geode and look inside you'll find beautiful crystals that make the world a prettier place. I think this connects with number 8 of the Black Panther platform, “We want freedom for all black men held in federal, state, county and city prisons and jails.”-Newton & Bobby Seale I think this

     The Black Panther had a huge background of history, goals, and beliefs. Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale in Oakland, Ca 1966, founded the Panthers. They were originally as an African American self defense force and were highly influenced by Malcolm X’s ideas. They were named after Lowndes County Freedom Organization or LCFO.

“We knew, as a revolutionary vanguard, repression would be the reaction of our oppressors, but we recognized that the task of the revolutionist is difficult and his life is short. We were prepared then, as we are now, to give our all in the interest of oppressed people” (Baggins). Radical and provocative, the 60’s was an era of complete political and social upheaval. Although the Civil Rights Act of 1964 had banned the discrimination of people based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, the execution of this act were initially proven weak. Unlike other national organizations or campaigns against the U.S. government, the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense remains the only organization to take a militant stance, frequently seen campaigning armed and proudly wielding weapons. Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale, the founders of the Black Panthers, believed that the peaceful and non-violent campaign of Martin Luther King had failed, and had very little faith in the implementation of the “traditional” civil rights movement. Newton casually addresses his violent conducts, stating, “And people say, well Huey you 're so violent. Why are you so violent Huey? …And I say, well hey, existence is violent; I exist, therefore I am violent in that way”(PBS).

Marvel fans are undoubtedly looking forward to Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) and Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) face off in Captain America: Civil War, but the film will also introduce the wildly popular Black Panther, played by Chadwick Boseman. However, Boseman is quick to claim that T’Challa is completely different from the Avengers!

The BPP fought for change in America for African Americans and even other minority groups too.
