839 wordsRead More - DFDDargumentative essayWhen one thinks of the term “Black Power” what is first thought that comes to one’s mind? To answer this question successfully one must understand the complexity of the term and the larger movement of the Black Power. Depending on the organization, Black Power can refer to self-cultural awareness, self-expression of blackness, and self-embracement of the Black identity. For other organizations, Black Power can refer to self-preservation through violence and Black supremacy over all other races. This complex definition of “Black Power” highlights the complex nature of Black Power organizations. One of the most prominent organizations of the Black Power Movement, the Black Panther Party adhered to the definition of Black Power as a promotion of self-awareness. Whereas, its “successor”, the New Black Panther Party has been known for its supremacist and venomous ideology. How, then, are these two organizations then related? Why, if the two organizations have similar names, would the definition of “Black Power” be so stanchly different? While the Black Panther Party and the New Black Panther Party share a common name, this connection is the only plausible point when comparing the two groups. The Black Panther Party and the New Black Panther Party are a separate as Blacks and Whites were in Jim Crow Birmingham. They are distinct entities with completely opposite agenda and methods toward obtaining goals that should not be mistaken for one another.
