Black Panther party had a threatening effect on US government, before BBP movement, United States government was very racist “We want an immediate end to police brutality and murder of black people” Police shot the main members of BPP Fred Hampton and Bobby Hutton. It provoked the government to take these step because they couldn’t deal with them.

Positive, moral, lesson learned sentence:
I believe that the Black Panther’s had great intention to provide African American with a better life in the United States of America but their approach was so negative that in many ways forced them into unbearable situation with which that had to use violence. BPP was severely misjudged as a result of a number of violent accidents. Unfortunately due to the negative publicity, many failed to understand what the Black Panther movement stands for.
