Negative Effects of the Black Panther Party
The Black Panthers also had negative views
1.The Panthers made some people fear blacks and made people think that they were all violent.
2.They also made blacks in some communities more violent. After the Panthers fell, the people who wanted to use violence were still in the communities, but there was no one to control and rein them in. The Panthers promoted guns and gang mentality.
All this led to an increase in black violence after they fell.
“As it was [the U.S. government] chopped off the head [of the Black liberation movement] and left the body there armed. That's why all these young bloods are out there now, they've got the rhetoric but are without the political direction... and they've got the guns." This statement means that the government killed the leaders of the Party, but the guys with guns are still around and were more dangerous because they had no one to lead them.
