The original black panther party still continues, they have resurfaced and are speaking out. Please check out the Powhatan school board meeting. After the black panther party went underground and resurfaced back in Milwaukee under leadership of former black panther party member of 1966 Micheal McGee sr. Resurfaced as the leader of the black panther party militia when Micheal McGee sr retired he then passed the torch to his trained body guard of many years named Darryl “king Rick” farmer. On Saturday, July 18th revolutionary history was made. The Biggest Panther in the Jungle, Darryl King Rick Farmer II passed the crown to his "Sun" General Mike Pain, making him The Leader of the Original Black Panthers.
With the Original Black Panthers' mantra being, "The complete village is our family," General Mike Pain will strive to continue to keep King Rick's legacy alive by staying true to the people and always keeping the community first.
General Mike Pain's goals consist of following the blueprint that was initially created by Huey P. Newton, Bobby Seale, and Michael McGee Sr. He is committed to developing OBP chapters in each state, and he longs to bring about positive change when it comes to the development of the black community and the mindset of our people as a whole.
The Original Black Panthers are extremely thankful for King Rick and all that he has done to make this eminent organization what it is. OBP will continue to take the daily necessary steps needed in order to bring about constructive change to the black community.
With the passing of the torch, many members are extremely thrilled to see what General Mike Pain has in store for the many years to come. "General Pain has drive and his tenaciousness is incomparable. If he wants it, he makes it happen. If the community needs it, he provides it. He's a no-nonsense intellectual and his heart and perseverance is what is going to help him to succeed in this new position. We're all proud of him and we all respect him. To be against General Pain is to be against OBP, and you don't want that" says a soldier. Due to controversy of the name “militia” general Mike pain changed the name to the original black panther party to pay homeage to the beginning of the black panther party for self defense. The original black panther party is the direct bloodline to the original black panther party for self defense. The black panthers are back!!! Pantherqueen757 (talk) 06:05, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Proposed additions to "Founding of the Black Panther Party"
[edit]There's some missing details to this section, and I think it needs a slight reorganization for better chronological flow. It begins:
"In late October 1966, Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale founded the Black Panther Party (originally the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense)."
But then backtracks several years to discuss Newton and Seale's meeting and involvement in earlier Black Power groups. That sentence probably should be moved down a few paragraphs.
There's a more full story of the origins of the name "Black Panther Party", however, since Newton and Seale's group were not the first to use it. As mentioned, the black panther was used as a symbol for the Lowndes County Freedom Organization, with the symbol actually appearing on ballots (due to the high rate of illiteracy in Lowndes County) and the organization becoming informally known as the "Black Panther Party". That led to several other groups using the name elsewhere - there was a Black Panther Party of Watts and there were two rival groups in the Bay Area - the Revolutionary Action Group-affilited Black Panther Party of Northern California in San Francisco and Newton and Seale's Black Panther Party for Self-Defense in Oakland. In fact, the reason that the "for Self-Defense" part was originally used to was to distinguish itself from the San Francisco group.
After several months of this, Newton and Seale confronted the other group and after an altercation, the BPP of Northern California agreed to change its name and Newton and Seale's group became the sole "Black Panther Party". This history is covered in detail in Bloom's "Black Against Empire" and Seale's "Seize the Time". Peter G Werner (talk) 20:12, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
proposal to add Anti-fascism and Anti-zionism to infobox ideologies
[edit]The BPP wrote about fascism and Zionism in their newspaper on several occasions, including Donald L. Cox's article titled Zionism (Kosher Nationalism) + Imperialism = Fascism, the party also featured several palestinian groups such as Al-Fatah and the PFLP. The group also was praised in a telegram from Kim Il-Seung for their 'Anti-Imperialism' and 'Anti-Fascism' it is reasonable then to include Anti-Zionism and Anti-Fascism within the list of ideologies.

- It is preferable to use independent, third-party sources in any case. Therefore, we should try to find reliable sources which use such descriptions. If we must use self-descriptions, then we should note that it is a self-description in the text. ―Howard • 🌽33 10:34, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
- This means that Party publications and correspondences can only be used if the source is directly mentioned. ―Howard • 🌽33 10:39, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
- As for anti-Zionism: "The Panthers’ view of the Israel/Palestine conflict evolved from 1968 to 1980 from one of strong anti-Zionism and support for the PLO to a more nuanced analysis that included criticism of Arab nationalism and its racial exclusions."[1]
