    Default Why were Black Panther's much more intimidating than Ku Klux Klan?

    Black Panther was large organized armed militia of strongholds in the middle of urban cities. Ku Klux Klan is basically just a bunch of uneducated hillbillies hiding out in cornfields burning campfires. it's funny how klan members and their culture have become a comedic meme and not intimidating at all in American culture

    The world doesn't care about things like "looking more intimidating". White folks built shit, black folks still dancing, killing and complaining. Stanley.

    Your perception is someone that was not there. KKK was not only intimidating but brutal !!!!!!!!!!! Can't image how many people they tortured and killed .. but we are not talking about hundreds.
    The black panthers felt like a threat because America did not want to go thru what the KKK had done.
    Now we have the Trump Proud Boys and we are right back to the KKK mythology, and the republicans are now backing it.
    When will this country ever grow up ??

    Trump Proud Boys, that's cute. Trump never embraced them and most Trump supporters dont care about them. Comparing them to the KKK is also inaccurate as they have members of all races. I'm not defending the Proud Boys, I dont care about them, but lets get the story straight.

    The Proud Boys have members of all races and their figurehead is latino black. How are they the KKK?

    A few years back I was listening on the radio to an undercover FBI agent of the Mexican Mafia saying how they had killed more blacks in hate based murders since 1990 than the KKK and probably all white supremacist groups combined but they fly underneath the public radar.

    they fly under the radar bc public doesn't care about prison homicides in California, nor does anyone else

    Not just prisons. There was a few years where the MM tried to ethnically cleanse blacks from latino neighborhoods before authorities stepped in.

    Your google search only found an article from 14 years ago. Which I don't think you read because it depicts what the conflict stemmed from.

    According to gang experts and law enforcement agents, a longstanding race war between the Mexican Mafia and the Black Guerilla family, a rival African-American prison gang, has generated such intense racial hatred among Mexican Mafia leaders, or shot callers, that they have issued a "green light" on all blacks.
