That's what these "Black Power" folks advocate.
Come on man, the Black Panthers were formed during a time when African-Americans had practically no free media,inadequate education, nor power in government.

Sure it sounds racist from an objective standpoint 50 years later, but if you have any sort of cultural awareness you'd know the two are not comparable.

It is if it's a hate crime. There were never any group of African-Americans dedicated to the lynching and murder of innocent Caucasians. History does play a part in racism, believe it or not.
