    No, the panthers were not complicated. The challenges they faced were complicated. The simplicity of the organization and their goals can be found in their 10 point program, if one bothers to look?

      Candace Casey I know this is late, but the definitions I found of “terrorism” generally boil down to the unlawful use of violence or intimidation against civilians for the purpose of political gain.

    The Black Panther Party or BPP (originally the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense) was a revolutionary black nationalist and socialist organization active in the United States from 1966 until 1982, with its only international chapter operating in Algeria from 1969 until 1972.
    At its inception on October 15, 1966, the Black Panther Party's core practice was its armed citizens' patrols to monitor the behavior of police officers and challenge police brutality in Oakland, California.
    In 1969, community social programs became a core activity of party members.
    The Black Panther Party instituted a variety of community social programs, most extensively the Free Breakfast for Children Programs, and community health clinics.
    Federal Bureau of Investigation Director J. Edgar Hoover called the party "the greatest threat to the internal security of the country", and he supervised an extensive program (COINTELPRO) of surveillance, infiltration, perjury, police harassment, and many other tactics designed to undermine Panther leadership, incriminate party members, discredit and criminalize the Party, and drain the organization of resources and manpower.
    The program was also accused of assassinating Black Panther members.
    Government oppression initially contributed to the growth of the party as killings and arrests of Panthers increased support for the party within the black community and on the broad political left, both of whom valued the Panthers as a powerful force opposed to de facto segregation and the military draft.
    Black Panther Party membership reached a peak in 1970, with offices in 68 cities and thousands of members, then suffered a series of contractions.
    After being vilified by the mainstream press, public support for the party waned, and the group became more isolated.
    In-fighting among Party leadership, caused largely by the FBI's COINTELPRO operation, led to expulsions and defections that decimated the membership.
    Popular support for the Party declined further after reports appeared detailing the group's involvement in illegal activities such as drug dealing and extortion schemes directed against Oakland merchants.
    By 1972 most Panther activity centered on the national headquarters and a school in Oakland, where the party continued to influence local politics.
    Party contractions continued throughout the 1970s.
    By 1980 the Black Panther Party had just 27 members.
    The history of the Black Panther Party is controversial.
    Scholars have characterized the Black Panther Party as the most influential black movement organization of the late 1960s, and "the strongest link between the domestic Black Liberation Struggle and global opponents of American imperialism".
    Other commentators have described the Party as more criminal than political, characterized by "defiant posturing over substance".

      Okay so marching down the street with signs that read “BLM” and “Justice for Breonna Taylor” is apparently terrorism and whatever ‘sullying’ is. Nothing people say can change the legacy of the BPP so they did the right thing. I know what BLM is and I don’t have to ask people what it is about. So terrorism isn’t the Armed men in padding and military clothing marching down streets demanding for people to stay inside and shooting them with a paintball or pepper bullet if they don’t? They are trying to take away amendments and you still think they do the right thing than think again. All their doing is telling people that the Justice system is failing so then Trump tells the National Guard to rush in and attack them.

    I have a question.
    Is it true that some black panthers will basically commit the same hate crimes towards white people as the KKK did with POC? Is just that I’ve been taught that and I haven’t find information about it so idk if it’s true or not.
    I mean I know some leader’s’ roll model was “El Che Guevara” ( a terrorist in LATAM) so idk if the crimes happened as they tell them.
    Not trying to be hateful is a genuine question since I’m not from the states so I do not know much about the black panthers and since I am a child of an extreme conservative family I don’t think I’ve been told the whole truth about BLACK history.
