The current political climate for African Americans can directly
relate to the movement of the Black Panther Party because we
need a group that’s going to physically fight for us and fight back.
We as African Americans are always taught that we shouldn’t
fight back because we know what this country is know for doing
to African Americans who shows their true power with no fear.
The economic climate related directly to us because African
Americans experience little to no power in certain workspaces
and often little to no diversity.
