Abstract
The paper muddles on the evolution of the African American struggle coupled with civil right movements formulated- specifically the Black Panther Party- and focuses on the question of what the organization is, where it originated and spread, and why it was so popular.
From the Paper
Amid the turbulent struggle for equal rights for the black community in America numerous organizations and arenas emerged as potential facilitators of that laudable goal. The struggle was long and arduous, and various approaches arose as potential modalities to pursue the end most effectively. The Black Panther Party, which was established in 1966, was one such tactical approach. In its brief sojourn on the American scene, it attracted mega attention and an almost mythical status and reputation. Actions to cope with the potential repercussions of the Black Panther Party were numerous, and often violated associated constitutional norms within the American psyche for fairness and legal protection. Nevertheless to some powers that be on at that time, no more dangerous cadre of proponents of black rights existed then the Black Panther Party (Summers, 1993, 21). To those who opposed the methods, philosophy, and personas of the Black Panther Party, the need to crush the organization and nullify their influence within the societal complex of the United States was considered a crusade for the survival of this country itself. To truly analyze and come to terms with the importance and problematic issue of the Black Panther Party, it is necessary to review in some depth the overall complex involved in the struggle for black liberation in this country. The Black Panther Party occupies a decided niche in this puzzle, but it did not exist in a vacuum. It is a clear product and reaction to what preceded it.

From the Paper
"The black community of Oakland, California was greatly perturbed due to the failure of Southern white policemen to provide adequate protection for its black residents and the increasing incidents of police brutality targeted at the blacks. The organizers of the Panthers, therefore, aimed to gain justice for black people and dedicated themselves to defend the black community from racist police oppression and brutality. Besides being considered as the perpetrators of injustice and violence against the black community, the police was perceived by the Panthers as the representatives of the status quo and the "establishment" who implemented its anti-Black agenda. Since the Panthers believed that they were fighting the "status quo" the BPP considered itself to be a "revolutionary" party, which was committed to wage a class struggle to overthrow the existing order. (Harris 169)"

Abstract
This paper examines the views of two ordinary people from the 1960s on the Black Panthers. It examines one who is white and one who is black and why they have the feelings they do in regards to the Black Panther Party. The individuals are from similar economic and geographic backgrounds, being that they both came from middle-class families and were from the San Francisco Bay area.
From the Paper
"The Black Panther Party undeniably reeked fear in the hearts of many whites, because they saw it, and the media portrayed it, as a type of "Black Rage," in which African-Americans across the country were coming together "...seeking redemption for years of slavery" (Humphery Interviewee). Even though it is hard to distinguish exactly what that statement means, it is important to note that many whites viewed Black Power from this sort of Black Rage viewpoint or angle, in which "African-Americans were not seeking equality, but redemption for years of slavery"".

Abstract
This essay explores the organizational workings of the Black Panther Party. The author examines how the party can improve themselves in order to gain more members and compares and contrasts the Black Panther?s cost of membership with Iannaccone?s perspective of group commitment.
.
From the Paper
"The article, ?Why Strict Churches Are Strong?, emphasizes the importance of rational self-interest. It declares that rational choice theory explains the success of religious groups. The article states the success of strict and relaxed groups depends on the level of commitment its members hold (Iannaccone 1994). The Black Panther Party is an appropriate example of a non-religious group that includes the problem of commitment."

Neutralization, Private Justice and the Black Panther, 2002.

Abstract
This paper analyzes Gresham Sykes and David Matza's five-part model of justifications of deviant behavior that is also known as techniques of neutralization. It looks at how the five techniques include denying responsibility, denying the injury, blaming the victim, condemning the authorities and appealing to higher principles or authorities. It discusses whether the Black Panther Party resorted to Sykes and Matza's techniques of neutralization to justify the criminality of their behavior and whether the social acceptability of their doctrine was aided by a social and cultural era in upheaval, particularly concerning the civil rights of blacks and America's involvement in Vietnam.
Outline
Introduction
Techniques of Neutralization
Denial of Responsibility
Denial of Injury
Denial of the Victim
Condemnation of the Condemners
Appeal to Higher Loyalties
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Sykes and Matza argue that the third technique of neutralization is the criminal's attempt to deny that the victim can in fact be victimized. In other words, the criminal argues that that the victim is the wrongdoer and their own action is an attempt to create justice, not defy it. It was the whole basis of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense that the entire system of government as run by white Americans was a criminal and violent oppression of the civil rights and human dignity of American blacks. They had the right to bear arms to defend themselves against such injustice. Consider, for example, the ideology of the Party's intellectual leader in its early stages, Eldridge Cleaver."

The intention in the following pages is to explore the history of the Black Panther Party from its origins during the 1960s.

Although the Black Panther Party is probably most associated in memory with the large urban cities of the north, it had its birth in the rural south. That birth was an outgrowth of white resistance in the south to any inclusion of black Americans in ... "

From the Paper
"Although the Ku Klux Klan and the Black Panther Party both employed violence to obtain their objectives, few similarities exist between the two groups. The Ku Klux Klan was committed to maintaining the status quo, white supremacy, in the communities in which it operated. Their objective was to suppress the activities of people of color, whom they perceived as threats to the established order. In contrast, the Black Panthers considered themselves revolutionaries. Their goal was to elevate the oppressed masses of African-Americans and to overthrow the existing political system. Thus, the Klan sought to restore a sense of power to whites, while the Black Panthers sought to gain a rightful share of power for blacks.
The Ku Klux Klan is a name that describes two distinct groups of white racists in American history. The first Klan.."

James Cone: Black Theology and the Black Christ, 2006.
An analysis of the term theology and the essential concepts of "Black Theology" as it pertains to James Cone's idea of a "Black Christ".

Abstract
This paper examines how James Cone believes that if blacks, particularly African-Americans, don't wake up and change the traditional American image of Jesus, they will probably never grasp the true philosophy and mission of Jesus. It discusses how African-Americans must see Jesus as a black man that endured the struggle and how it is the duty of black preachers, pastors and theologians to advocate black theology, which includes the black image of Jesus, for the sake and survival of the African-American experience.
From the Paper
"When one begins to think about God, questions arise as one lacks significant knowledge of God. When one begins to engage in such a dialogue, or entertains such questions, one has clearly entered the community of theology. The articles states: "The attempt to think about God leads immediately to a host of related question which are included under the term theology. First, there is the question of mans relationship to God, the ultimate source of things? Then we must ask about revelation to God, that is, how does man know what God is like? If God must reveal himself where and how is he revealed?" These are prospective questions that man can't escape when thinking about God or in dialogue about God. "

Abstract
In this essay, the writer examines two books addressing the topic of black entrepreneurship, Robert Wallace's 'Black Wealth Through Black Entrepreneurship' and Shelly Green and Paul Pryde's 'Black Entrepreneurship in America'. The writer notes that both volumes examine the relative lack of wealth in the black community, despite the removal of legal restrictions on black participation in the business area, such as limitations on ownership, hiring and promotion discrimination, and discrimination in lending and capital provision to minority entrepreneurs. The writer discusses that each book analyzes the specific influences on the black community, and possibly the culture, which contribute to this lack of entrepreneurship and capital ownership.
From the Paper
"Green and Pryde's book more directly addresses the issue, specifically examining social criteria necessary for a business class to be created and the lack of these phenomena in the black community. The need for resources is a major factor in the creation of a business class and in the encouragement of entrepreneurship among a community, and although the black communities tend to have fewer financial resources than their white counterparts, Green and Pryde note that they are far from impoverished as a class. They note that new economic activity tends to spring up where resources, especially money, are available to support it, but in spite of this, the black community has not seen such a spurt of new business ventures. The black community, say Green and Pryde, is not nearly as poor as its cultural mythology and popular culture would have it believe."

Abstract
The paper presents a history of the African American struggle starting in the 1850's with the case of Dred Scott. It continues by explaining the status of African Americans during and after the civil war. The paper documents how, in the 1940's and 1950's, African Americans began to challenge the injustices they faced, particularly with regard to education. The paper continues to the 1960's with the rise of the Black Panther Party (BPP) and the Nation of Islam. The paper focuses on the aims and methods used by the BPP and how the FBI tried to discredit the BPP and other Black revolutionary organizations.
From the Paper
"In 1954, the Supreme Court legitimately struck down the "separate but equal" doctrine of Plessy v. Ferguson in its Brown v. Board of Education decision, which ruled that separate educational facilities were intrinsically unequal. Some areas readily embraced integration after Brown, while others submitted only after further prodding from the courts. School administrators rapidly realized that they faced many problems, such as increased violence and increased discrepancy in the abilities of students in the same classroom."

Black Women and Feminism, 2006.
This paper reviews and discusses the historic oppression of black women as well as the existing gap between white and black women as detailed in Bell Hooks' "Ain't I A Woman? Black Women and Feminism."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores author Bell Hooks' theoretical perspective on blacks and feminism. Hooks claims that the major cause of oppression to black women came from many sources including white women interested in their own personal gain at the expense of black women and the black men interested in keeping them as second class citizens. This paper discusses the exploitation of women during the slave trade as one of the pioneering ways in the continuing devaluation of black women. The writer contends that Hooks' novel contains relevant research and subsequent evidence that clearly details why a gap still exists between black and white women. The writer of this paper stresses Hooks' desire for all women to bond together and for the struggle for equality to end.
From the Paper
"In her research of the exploitation of slaves, Hooks' expertly does not focus on the sexual atrocities committed upon black women. She in fact details the effect brutalizing black women has on the black man, white man, and the white woman. Hooks explores the possibilities of the potential personal gain from dehumanizing black women, some of which include stereotypes/jealousy of the sexuality of a black woman, and "demasculating" the black man (psychological removal of his masculinity) in relation to exploiting 'his' woman. Bell Hooks' research into the hypocrisy of the feminist movement as it relates to white woman is the principal reason why many African American women, myself included, do not want any active participation with the women's movement."
