Breitbart is reporting that members of the New Black Panther Party are flexing muscle in Georgia. They are wielding weapons and holding signs supporting Democrat gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, a leftist who hopes to be the first black female governor in Georgia
Her republican opponent, Kemp, says “It’s no surprise that militant Black Panthers are armed and patrolling the streets of Georgia. The Black Panthers are a radical hate group with a racist and anti-semitic agenda. They are dangerous and encourage violence against our men and women in uniform. Stacey Abrams should immediately denounce the Black Panthers and their hateful record of racism. She should stand against and condemn their attempts to intimidate hardworking Georgia voters just days before the election.”
Now I don’t expect that Kemp has any interest in disrupting the NBPP in Georgia or anywhere else. He’s just looking for another opportunity for a conservative sound bite that will squeeze another vote or two out of the electorate.
Abrams on the other hand has no interest in squelching her supporters, the more they rear their ugly head the more stature she gains. The attitude displayed, and methods used, by the coming generation of politician/activist/victim will further polarize the nation. Sides are being formed, lines are being drawn, and attitudes firmed in. It’s not going to be pretty, but one thing is for sure…it’s going to be.
