Report Claims Black Panther Leader Richard Aoki Was FBI Informant
Thu, Aug 23 2012
Rafu Staff Report
Asian American activists are reacting with surprise and in some cases, skepticism to a report that Richard Aoki, a prominent member of the Black Panther Party, was an FBI informant.
Aoki, who died in 2009 at age 70, was an icon for many, a symbol of solidarity between Asian Americans and African Americans. Although he was in poor health in his final years, it was later revealed that he killed himself at his Berkeley home. Since his death, he has been the subject of a documentary, AOKI, and a book, Samurai Among Panthers.
During the turbulent late 1960s, Aoki became a high-ranking member of the Black Panthers and provided them with weapons and training. Since then, he remained friends with the surviving Panthers and continued to promote the ideals that he embraced as a member of the BPP, Third World Liberation Front and Asian American Political Alliance.
This week, Seth Rosenfeld of the Center for Investigative Reporting published an article in The San Francisco Chronicle about Aokis ties with the FBI. The article and a companion video, The Man Who Armed the Panthers, were released in conjunction with Rosenfelds book, Subversives: The FBIs War on Student Radicals, and Reagans Rise to Power, which is based on 30 years of research.
Rosenfeld said in the video that he was contacted by a former FBI agent, Burney Threadgill. When Threadgill saw an FBI document containing Aokis name, he said, according to Rosenfeld, I know that guy. Aoki was my informant. I developed him.

No, because the left has a blind spot for racism from their own side.Why is there no outrage? Probably because there is none other than what is manufactured by Breitbart TV and your right wing blog site.

Why is there no denouncement and condemnation of this group by the President? Why no action from the DOJ?
And as a refresher, here's the deal from June.

These NBP aren't the old BP. Not at all.
Everybody knows its a hate group the Anti-Defamation League, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights offcially consider the New Black Panthers to be a militant hate group. The original black panther party also said their principles are completely contrary to what their supposed revolution was all about.
As guardian of the true history of the Black Panther Party, the Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation, which includes former leading members of the Party, denounces this group's exploitation of the Party's name and history. Failing to find its own legitimacy in the black community, this band would graft the Party's name upon itself, which we condemn... [T]hey denigrate the Party's name by promoting concepts absolutely counter to the revolutionary principles on which the Party was founded... The Black Panthers were never a group of angry young militants full of fury toward the "white establishment." The Party operated on love for black people, not hatred of white people
