“But TWO guys???” “blustering”…

Your flippant remarks bring something to mind…

D-White, do you have any first hand knowledge of the black community? I’ve been a professional musician most of my life, and have had the opportunity and pleasure of performing with many black musicians. And I did live in a predominately black community for several years. I have experienced black culture up close and personal.

I don’t think you understand the level of intimidation that exists in many black communities. Everyone knows who’s who, who the people are that you don’t want to mess with, situations to be avoided and the unwritten rules to be followed. Simply put, black on black oppression is something that black people living in large predominately black neighborhoods have to deal with on some level on a daily basis. Not only blacks, but anyone who enters or lives in that defined territory.

This is a situation where the justice system has failed to protect the innocent.

The Panthers are well known in the black community for being big time intimidators. They could be compared in some ways to a political Hells Angels, with much more community involvement. If you get involved with either, you best be with them, if not, you pay the consequences. The Angels pretty much stay to themselves, but… don’t go there if don’t “know”. The Panthers are much more present.

I will add this. I have known several Panthers and many Hells Angels who were (are) basically good people. But when push comes to shove, and if you don’t want to be part of it, you best make yourself scarce. And quiet.
