Whitewashing the Crimes of Racial Revolutionaries
The media's timid treatment of the Black Panthers and Black Lives Matter.

After spending the past 43 years in solitary confinement in the Louisiana State Penitentiary, 69-year-old Albert Woodfox, a former Black Panther, was recently set free as part of a plea deal with state prosecutors. Exhibiting not a shred of remorse for his 1972 murder of a young white prison guard, Woodfox defiantly raised a clenched fist in a Black Power salute as he stepped into his freedom for the first time in four decades. Breitbart.com points out, quite significantly, that numerous media outlets—among them the New York Times, CNN, and ABC—have reported, in their coverage of Woodfox's release, that his fellow Black Panther and criminal accomplice, Robert King Wilkerson, was released from prison fifteen years ago when his own conviction on a 1973 murder charge was overturned. But that is not how Wilkerson was released. When Wilkerson's conviction was struck down on a legal technicality in 2000, he remained incarcerated and was scheduled to be tried yet again. It was not until 2001, when the State of Louisiana agreed to release him in exchange for pleading guilty to the charge of Criminal Conspiracy to Commit Second-Degree Murder, that Wilkerson was let out of prison. The misrepresentation of the circumstances surrounding Wilkerson's case are just “the latest example of how the media continues to cover up the violent past of the Black Panthers in order to make it appear that the group, and black people in general, are victims of unfair persecution by law enforcement,” says Breitbart.
In reality, the Black Panther Party was among the most violent, barbaric, revolutionary organizations in modern American history. Its founder—a longtime criminal named Huey Newton—in 1966 drafted a Ten-Point Program charging that because America's “racist government” had collaborated with “the capitalists” to “rob” the “Black Community” blind, that same government was now morally “obligated,” as a form of restitution, to give all blacks “employment or a guaranteed income” as well as taxpayer-funded “land, bread, housing, education, [and] clothing” until the end of time. Moreover, Newton argued that “all Black people should be released from … jails and prisons because they have not received a fair and impartial trial.” He also issued a call for blacks to “arm themselves for self-defense,” which was in fact an incitement to a race war. As Panther “minister of culture” Emory Douglas put it in 1970: “The only way to make this racist U.S. government administer justice to the people it is oppressing, is … by taking up arms against this government, killing the officials, until the reactionary forces … are dead, and those that are left turn their weapons on their superiors.”
...
The ideological descendants of the Black Panther Party have likewise been treated with deference by many in the media. Consider, for instance, the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. Though its founders are committed revolutionary Marxists and America-hating racists with deep ties to the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, the New York Times Editorial Board portrays BLM as a well-intentioned social-justice initiative that seeks only to point out that “the lives of black citizens in this country historically have not mattered, and have been discounted and devalued.”
Such watered-down characterizations of BLM's motives—like the aforementioned misrepresentations of the Black Panthers' sordid history—make it virtually impossible for most Americans to really understand the aggressive, vindictive, and pitiless nature of the radical enemy our country faces.
