TheRevolutionary Black Panther Party orRBPP is aMarxist-Leninistblack nationalist organization in theUnited States. RBPP claims to continue the legacy of theBlack Panther Party (BPP) of the 1960s.
In 1992 the RBPP was created. The RBPP states its aims as "protecting and defending our people againstgenocide, ethnic cleansing,crimes against humanity, theBlack African Holocaust and race war waged against people of African descent."
The RBPP considers itself to be a continuation of theBlack Panther Party active in the United States from 1966 and 1982. RBPP leaderAlli Muhammad (Chief-General-In-Command), was raised as a member of the BPP. According to Muhammad, "Growing up a Panther cub ... there are things engrained in you, that you can never get out of you, and it matures you, it is difficult to erase this maturity and as a fully grown panther, it lives on in theRevolution, in the Revolutionary Black Panther Party".[3]
The RBPP launched what they call the "Armed Black Human Rights Movement" and "Armed Freedom Rides" and did an "Armed Human Rights March" withmachetes and rifles through the Central West End (white community) ofSt. Louis, Missouri,[4] for what according to Alli Muhammad, was "in honor of the humanity" of black victims such asMichael Brown.,Alton Sterling, Angelo Brown andDarren Seals.[5]
In 2016, RBPP marched inMilwaukee, Wisconsin, armed with guns, to protest to what they referred to as "genocide" of African Americans at the hands of law enforcement. The RBPP called for the resignation of Milwaukee MayorTom Barrett and Police Chief Ed Flynn.[6]
