Opinion of the Huey P. Newton Gun Club

Freedom Fighters, of course.

Seriously?  I'm not one to freak out about Black Panther cosplay like Fox News racists.  But, these people are knuckle-heads sending a horrible message and embarrassing their community. 

That horrible message being self-defense against racist cops?

This, they are the best friends the St. Louis police department could possibly ask for and are an embarrassment to their community.  If the St. Louis PD threatens and attacks peaceful protesters, it becomes a Bull Connor moment.  If a bunch of idiots start marching around with guns, some of the people watching the news are going to go "huh, maybe those protesters were a bunch of thugs afterall."  Playing Black Panther dress-up and waving around guns may make those guys feel short-term emotional gratification, but it also scares away many whites who would otherwise be extremely sympathetic to Ferguson's African-American community (and willing to support serious action to combat the institutional problem of police brutality).  

The guys in that picture are also complete cowards.  There's nothing brave or admirable about wandering around with a gun to see how many people you can intimidate before someone finally stands up to you (and it is often counter-productive, as the gun-rights crowd has proven countless times).  The people with real courage are the ones who protest peacefully, day after day, knowing full well that they may be viciously attacked.  Any idiot can throw a punch, the real FFs are the people who can take a punch and still have enough sense to think before they punch back.  There's a reason Martin Luther King became arguably the single most influential civil rights leader in American history while Huey P. Newton ended up becoming little more than a boogie-man that "Law and Order" style racist politicians could use to scare people into voting for them.

TLDR: Major HPs

White liberalism: the astounding thought people who defend themselves when they're being attacked are the real cowards.
