The "New Black Panthers" are more of a caricature of the originol than anything else. Have they actually ever did anything to warrant their reputation, aside from dressing up in dumb ass outfits and glaring at cameras?

Eldridge Cleaver, one of the founders of the Black Panthers back in the 1960's bragged about raping white women in his autobiography "Soul on Ice".
From Wikipedia:
In the most controversial part of the book, Cleaver acknowledges committing acts of rape, stating that he initially raped black women in the ghetto "for practice", and then embarked on the rape of white women. Cleaver refers to the
serial rape of white women as "an insurrectionary act."

David Horowitz's turning point away from the left (he had been a communist until the age of forty) was when he found out that the Black Panthers murdered a friend of his. His friend had been a book keeper for the Panthers and had discovered income form drug dealing. The left in California knew about the murder and covered it up. This was the moment in time that Horowitz realized that the left was morally bankrupt.
The Democrats have been in bed with the Black Panthers from the beginning. Hillary Clinton chose to do an internship for a law firm in Oakland in 1971 that provided pro bono defence of Black Panthers. One of the partners in the firm was a self described Marxist/Stalinist.
Tom Wolfe coined the term "radical chic" to describe rich leftists that used to hold coctail party fundraisers for the Panthers. The most famous of the radical chic group was Leonard Bernstein. The left continues this perverse delight in celebrating and supporting evil today by the aiding and abetting of Jihadist activities.
