Why did the black panther party end?

Answer 1

The Black Panther Party met its demise because of internal implosion; government infiltration, co-option, internal weariness and egocentrism.

I believe that Bobby Seale whom I had met as well as Fred Hampton were some of the most dedicated and serious men that I had ever met. I believe that perhaps that if the Black Panther Party had of expanded their vision outside the scope of rhetoric, their ten point platform program would have been more encompassing and they as an organization might have survived much longer.

Their vision of social programming was revolutionary having given birth to After School and Free Breakfast programs that are now state and federally funded. What African American men of leadership capapcity must arm themselves with is vision, forsight, wisdom, discernment of the times and intestinal fortitude. The bible states that we should "not think it strange concerning the fiery trials that come to test us." African American leadership will always be tried by fire and we must learn to walk on coals of fire.

Our struggles are not just African American struggles but they are the struggles of mans inhumanity to man. If the seeds of inhumane treament are not held in check the winds of time will strew them in other places where tyranny and injustice will rise up.
