developing story relating to the protests, i’m still digging through twitter trying to figure this stuff out as i go
okay so there was some buzz about “armed black panthers” showing up at the protests-
naturally, i was hoping this was members of the New Afrikan Black Panther Party (maoist) and not the New Black Panther Party (reactionary) (yes there are two different politically opposite revivals of the Black Panther Party and yes this does get confusing)
later i learned that the buzz was that the panthers in question were not affiliated with the NABPP and thus were probably associated with the NBPP. further bad news came in the form of this photo:
this photo of course inspired condemnation of the NBPP, and was pointed to as a demonstration that reactionary nationalism fails to be liberatory- which is true, but then there was buzz from the NBPP-supporting side of twitter that they don’t know who this is and don’t co-sign her actions. furthermore, the patches used by this group:
don’t match those used by the NABPP or the NBPP.
so there are a lot of questions still remaining, but it seems that either there is yet another group reviving the BPP name, or, more likely, this entire scenario is a psy-op staged by the police themselves.
oh also i forgot to mention this but not only is that patch not used by any of the various revivalist black panther groups but it’s actually used by the 66th Infantry Division of the US Army
