parking lot

thats a good question. lets put it up in the parking lot.

what's the parking lot?

who can answer that for him?

-its a space for random questions that need answers

yep. its where we put those good questions that need answers, but aren't connected to the topic of the moment. anyone can find the answers. dont just wait for me to tell you! and if someone finds the information, we'll stick it up there so everyone can see.

so are the black panthers like the kk*k but in reverse?

[cue lesson derailment...for a set time of 30 seconds. ha!]

no. here is the black panthers compared to the kk*k in 30 seconds. one group has a history of several hundreds of years of terrorism of blacks and other Others in the United States. they hate...[etc]
black panthers emerged in the 60s and sympathised with socialist ideals of collective empowerment and a recognition of self-worth...[etc] it had its own internal problems too.
but dont take my word for it. we've gone over 30 seconds now. hit a minute even! my truncated account is not enough to do your question justice. so go do some reading.
