Can anyone explain to me what is going on with all this Black Panthers stuff? A wikipediaing seems to suggest that the 'real' Black Panthers don't exist anymore and these new guys are just a raging hate group but I can't seem to find any actual information anywhere on the internet about these supposed roaming armed gangs of NBPP members that are apparently patrolling around the country terrorizing people by existing.

Is this just more racist white man bullshit or is this actually a thing that is happening in any significant numbers?
Most of the photos are from the open carry marches organized by the Huey P. Newton Gun Club, which does draw influences from the original Black Panther Party.

All they are doing is walking around predominantly black neighborhoods open carrying and occasionally saying BPP/leftist slogans in cadence.

http://www.dallasnews.com/news/metro/20140820-huey-p.-newton-gun-club-leads-open-carry-rally-in-south-dallas.ece

They started in response to a (predominantly white) Texas gun rights group asking to stage a march through their neighborhood in 'solidarity with the right to self defense'. The inhabitants were edgy about a bunch of armed white people gathering around their homes and politely declined, and some formed the HPNGC instead. Marches increased around the time of the Brown/Garner incidents, but there was never any violence either from the gun club or the police.

Apparently there is some reason why this is much worse than the other Texan gun clubs/open carriers, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

So pretty much yes it's just racist white man bullshit in full swing.

Yeah, the hardwiring really fucks with you. I couldn't even bring myself to watch that 'Prisoners' movie where Hugh Jackman's daughter is kidnapped and he goes batshit trying to find her. Parental instincts just see that scenario and go all :stonk:

I can think of 3 moments off the top of my head about just dads and their children in just recent memory:

Lowtax and anyone who talks about his family
MeccaPrime (Super Pro LPer, Original, Do not steal) stopped LPing after Sandy Hook if I remember correctly.
Geoff Ramsey couldn't even watch the trailer for Dead Island all the way through because of the little girl falling out of the window. Full trailer here

So yeah, dads...I already understand you and I'm already apprehensive about that moment in my life. When I start voting Republican

It would be fair to have the idea that this should be accompanied by some sort of student loan forgiveness for people who should have received the same benefits, but I feel like that's not the solution these people had in mind...

There's a bunch of angry people around me about it. Why? Because they think we can't afford it. I tried the angle of reducing the defense budget some and one person told me "You better be careful saying that around anybody who was or is in the military"


Probably gonna take that angle with the people I work with.

Where's she from? I'm just trying to think of how long it would take even a top-tier overachieving student to rack up six figures in community college. NC's biggest one is Wake Tech, and I think their tuition maxes out at $1350 per semester for full-time in-state students (plus some extra fees, book costs, etc, but still).

Even if you gave the husband two years' worth of CC money as a debt-forgiveness refund, it wouldn't necessarily amount to a 10% reduction in his debt. Student loans are pretty messed-up in this country, but I'd rather kids get more time in community schooling than either rushing into university or not continuing their education. And it's darkly comedic once again to see the right grumbling about Obama embracing an enhanced version of something they pushed for in the past (McCain's CC proposal during the 2008 campaign).

I wasn't succinct enough. I don't think she's saying her husband went to Community College. She just complains that all these people are getting a break when its so hard for them to get by because taxes are holding them down and also because of his student loan debt.

They live in a decent size/condition house and they can afford to have her as a stay at home Mom and live in a county with lower taxes.

Yeah, I get that. I'm saying that the husband probably went for a long-term degree (MS, PhD, etc) and would've saved a ton if he'd taken care of basics in CC, or maybe he just spent longer than usual in a university, or chose a pricey one. Either way, taking a community approach at his start would've likely cut more out of that debt than a current-tuition CC cash refund would ever help him, and they should appreciate how big an investment in America's future it'd be. It's possible that her husband is some sort of genius whose classes wouldn't be available in community college, but I doubt it.

Obama's proposal is sticking to CC because it's usually the best deal when starting your tertiary or trade education, unless you're putzing around when choosing courses. I'm just curious about their situation because I've never checked CC costs outside of NC, maybe they're crazy somewhere else and it's less of a deal. But Wake's cost is essentially equal to Obama's proposal ($3800/yr IIRC).

that's pretty much the only reason my brother opposes it.

He and I both went to CC before going to 4 year schools, and he feels that all of us as a collective should get some relief.

We both agreed that (in theory) it's a great idea though. Certainly made college more affordable for the both of us.

I would support my tax dollars being used for free college tuition for others, regardless of whether or nor there is some retroactive benefit towards my student loan debt, because education is a public good and I'm not some big gay baby that wants other people to have to overcome the same financial challenges I did as a matter of principle or some poo poo.
