Members of the Black Panther Party marched through the city of Atlanta, strapped with assault rifles and brandishing Stacey Abrams campaign signs.
In a video posted on the group’s Facebook page on Saturday, members of the Black Panther Party are seen marching through the West End neighborhood of Atlanta in support of Stacey Abrams gubernatorial campaign. As they marched, the Black Panthers carried assault rifles and continually shouted slogans such as “black power” and “power to the people.”

Abrams, a former Democratic state representative, is running in a tight election against Republican Brian Kemp, Georgia’s current Secretary of State. The Real Clear Politics average of recent polls shows Kemp up by 1.1 percentage points, well within the margin of error.
The video shows the panthers marching for nearly 30 minutes through the city of Atlanta until they enter a local radio station.

When reached for comment by The Daily Caller News Foundation, the Abrams campaign forwarded a statement from spokeswoman Abigail Collazo. Her statement did not specifically address the Panthers’ march, but instead attacked Kemp.
“Brian Kemp is the only candidate in this race who has posed for pictures with supporters wearing racist, hate-filled t-shirts and refused to denounce them, while Abrams continues to condemn any racist, anti-Semitic, or otherwise discriminatory words and actions,” Collazo said.
“Unlike Kemp, Abrams is a leader committed to running an inclusive campaign focused on bringing all Georgians together to find bold solutions on critical issues like health care, education, and the economy,” she continued.

At one point during the march, someone driving a vehicle stopped momentarily to speak to the Panthers.
One of the members can be heard saying afterward: “You need to march in your neighborhood. When we was [sic] in West Virginia, 99 percent crackers, stone cold crackers.”
Kemp’s campaign called on Abrams to immediately denounce the Black Panthers.
“It’s no surprise that militant Black Panthers are armed and patrolling the streets of Georgia for Stacey Abrams. The Black Panthers are a radical hate group with a racist and anti-semitic agenda. They are dangerous and encourage violence against our men and women in uniform,” Kemp spokesman Ryan Mahoney said in a statement to TheDCNF.
“Stacey Abrams should immediately denounce the Black Panthers and their hateful record of racism,” he continued. “She should stand against and condemn their attempts to intimidate hardworking Georgia voters just days before the election.”
The close race has brought star power from both sides of the aisle. Vice President Mike Pence campaigned for Kemp on Thursday — the same day Oprah Winfrey knocked on doors on behalf of Abrams.
The Panthers did not respond to a request for comment by TheDCNF.
Why would anyone be intimidated by a couple of black racist assholes marching through the streets a few days before an election ? With as many armed people in this country especially Georgia and considering the racial make up these black hard asses are out guned and out numbered . I bet they were in cross hairs quite a few times by people waiting for a reason !
As to the threat of a race war , it seems militant armed blacks like to spout off threats to the white race . I suggest they do some math ! 100 MILLON gun owners possessing 300 MILLON guns and over 1 Trillon rounds of ammunition in America and 80% of them are white ! Blacks make up 13.5 to 14% of the population in this country so… Go ahead Black Panther start something anything , you may even have a few shallow victories . Then your opposition will rally and only GOD can save your ignorant racist dumb asses then !
Forget about the CIA-sponsored Black Panthers. Scum around the globe are in deep shit when honest Americans set up .308 caliber repeater checkpoints at every major intersection in all 50 states. Everything grinds to a halt in an instant.
As long as they are not felons, there shouldn’t really be a problem…
Rin,agree,excepting the felon part,nothing in the bill of rights talks about certain conditions like criminal past/permission slips/what kind of arms/ect.ALL citizens of this country have a right to firearms,even ones we disagree with!
Sure. The US Constitution applies to everyone, even those who use it as a shield under which to plan mass violence?
The USA “worked” when it was 90% white (mostly Anglo-Saxons with some Germans and some Irish and Italians.) As it becomes more Brazil-like, you’ll discover that the “freedoms” we thought we had were (1) mostly a myth and (2) become a near-suicide pact when all the black and Mestizo foxes are invited inside the hen house (because “muh constitution” and “We-Are-The-World.”)
Someone writes a few bad checks 30 years ago and they can’t own a gun today?
FUCK THAT SHIT
It’s OK – a nigger couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn door – even with a 100 round magazine.
If they went to public schools, they probably can’t read well enough to vote.
If it was Whites with American flags, they’d get treated like they were Nazis or KKK. The racist hater Al Sharpton was marching with Gillum in Florida yesterday.
Absolutely, the police would be there and national media. No to mention, a bunch of Antifa goons.
Those aren’t assault rifles. I’m surprised the Daily Caller got that wrong.
I see one Century Arms AK-47 clone with Magpul furniture. Some kind of 12 gauge shotgun, and one very high-end FN SCAR, probably in 7.62×51. Because they are not selective fire they are not assault rifles but the two are certainly military style semi-auto rifles.
Do you guys think they realize that Stacey Abrams is adamantly anti-gun?
leftists are only anti gun for conservatives–
there are a helluva lot more guns in the hands of leftists & blacks then most people realize–
Anti gun for who?
Black is beautiful. But I prefer pink.
Citizens carrying arms in support of their candidate does not bother me at all.
Hope they vote, pay taxes and raise their families.
Toad,agree completely.
Perhaps the double-standard matters? The one where you invert this perfectly (white guys in some sort of made-up uniform, espousing a “wipe out blacks” ideology, walking around with battle rifles? )
Did you not notice they were black?
The irony is lost on them.
Where is the Rhodesian Army when you need it?
They would take this trash out at a rate of 100 charging Africans for every 1 Rhodesian casualty.
The Rhodesian Army was actually 2/3 black and they fought honorably against the endless flow of black communist terrorist invaders funded by China and Warsaw Pact countries. Why? Because Rhodesian blacks had the highest standard of living in the world among blacks and they knew what would happen if the bomb-throwing, communist animals were allowed to win.
When white-ruled Rhodesia went under… it became black-ruled nightmare Zimbabwe.
Kemp is clearly no prize, but this kind of crap along with Oprah, should put him way over the top.
I lived in Georgia for a few years in the late 80’s and agree.
Outside the Big Peach and parts of hard scrabble Macon armed threatening Black Panthers would have a brief and exciting experience ending in all of them finding out the answer to the question: Is there life after death?
both there in georgia & here in florida,having blacks at the top of the ticket will bring out more blacks to vote then usual in a mid term–
even if reps prevail in either or both races,having them in the race might cost reps other close races–
if you know anybody who has not voted,hog tie ’em & take ’em to the polls–
we’ll see tomorrow night–
TampaRed,
Are you seeing any evidence of a Blexit? It wouldn’t much of it to turn the blue wave into a tidy bowl drain.

mark,
i’m the wrong guy to ask because i’ve almost completely turned my back on most news–
however,i would not bet on it when a black is running for a major office–they will come out to support their own,which is why i suspect bill nelson will beat rick scott–
hope i’m wrong–
I wish I had a house there so when The Great Oprah showed up I would turn on the sprinklers and tell her to “GTF OFF MY PROPERTY!!!” That would be better than winning the lottery.
A mere nit-pick here: but has anyone noticed the guy on the left (farthest left in the first picture) has an under-barrel grenade launcher? Either this is a really good LARP, or they’re packing serious firepower.
You can purchase the 30mm grenade launcher to mount on an AK OR AR but you will play hell getting rounds for it obviously however there is a 12 gauge insert that allows you to shoot a shotgun shell and that’s when you must regester the unit as a firearm in many states so he could be clear or a felon walking around waiting to be scooped up !
They make civilian legal 37mm launchers that you can get flares and non lethal crappola for. Doesn’t mean he didn’t get one illegally somewhere. If he ever popped off a real 40mm he’d NEVER get out of Leavenworth. You would have to be the single dumbest guy in Georgia to parade around with an unlicensed NFA weapon like that.
Boat Guy, Harrington Richardson, both of you make good points. A buddy of mine pointed out another possibility: it could be an airsoft grenade launcher (worst that’ll do is put your eye out) the guy threw on to make himself look cool.
Wow, are those really fully automatic machine guns (i.e. assault rifles) or doesn’t this author know their ass from a hole in the ground? I stopped at assault so I don’t know what the rest of the article was about.
Dear Black Revolutionaries please take note of the facts:
1) Blacks make up 13% of the population of which about about 6% of the black population
is over the age of 18. That means there about 23 million black adults .
2) Whites make up about 70% of the population of which about 50% of the white population is over the age of 18. That means there are about 120 million white adults .
3) A very large percentage of black males and to some degree black females can’t legally own or purchase a firearm. This puts them at a huge disadvantage when it comes to gun ownership in relation to whites and gun ownership.
4) Whites I would estimate own a quarter of a billion guns and trillions of rounds of ammunition . I can’t imagine that blacks own more than a few million weapons and perhaps a few hundred million rounds of ammunition.
5) With the lopsided advantage to whites in both population and gun ownership I’m pretty sure this is a fight they really don’t want because it will end badly for them.
P.S….all of my numbers are estimates. I didn’t even bring up IQ into the equation .
There is no preferred race or ethnicity with which to engage in a large gun battle. They will all try their hardest to kill you every time.
