Funny - you far leftists talk about voter supression but have no problem w black panthers manning the polling places.

Are you sure about that? I dunno. Infact, I'd be willing to wager nothing of the sort would happen.

Why don't you don your white kkk outfit in front of a polling station in the blackest neighbourhood you can find, ...and let us know what happens.  :D

He's holding the door chatting at people.   And I'm sure 333386 would look pretty darn intimidating standing in front of the station, 210+, bald, wearing some zubaz pants and a string tank top.   

This is clearly FOX trying to stir up shit when there is no shit to stir.

Loitering in the polling place is illegal. 

I know that the 94ers and their guilt racked white apologists don't think laws apply to them, but its still a violation of the law.

I watched again.  He's just some dude wearing a jacket and a hat.  Standing out front.  Every polling station in every swing state probably has TWO poll watchers.  They CAN make him move 100 feet from the entrance if they want.  If even ONE person complained about him, they'd move him 100 feet.  However, it appears he's saying hello and holding the door for people, that's nice.

sorry, the mere presence of a black person is not intimidation

like you, I will make an assumption, and since I would not feel intimidated I will assume he is not there to intimidate until someone provides tangible proof that he is

I'm sure if this guy were doing anything wrong the cops would have been called

just because you're intimidated by a sight of a black man does not mean that everyone feels the same way

this guy is doing nothing wrong and has the same right to be a poll watcher (and why anyone would want to spend all day doing that I have no idea) as anyone else..... including you

Stop changing the argument.

You've reverted the conversation back to where it was.  To reiterate, it doesn't matter how you or I feel (I would not be intimidated), it's whether other would be.   And, we are also not discussing whether it's his right or not, in fact, I already acknowledged that it was. 

But, if you cannont rationally put together why a black panther would want to be at the voting booth during an election of black president, where they haven't been poll watchers before, then you're either completely ignorant or just being intentionally difficult.

who are you to decide whether "others" might be intimidated?
is it possible a black person would be intimidated if they saw you standing in front of their polling place
would that be a legitimate reason to not allow you to be a poll watcher?

Unfortunately Straw, there are people who are intimidated by black people in military garb, whether they act what is considering intimidating or not.   It has nothing to do with your beliefs or mine.

The Panthers know this, and that's why they are there.  If they were just concerned with upholding the law, they would have been at every election.

You don't need physical contact to have intimidation. The perception of a threat is enough and in this case you have it. The black panthers don't have the reputation as a peace loving group who embrace white people.  I bet if you had a bunch of white cops or rednecks just standing around a polling place you would immediately cry intimidation.

ok  - we're making some progress

is it specifically a "black people in military garb" that you think "others" might find intimidating or just the military garb itself

for example if he was wearing a goofy Bill Cosby sweater would "the others" be less likely to be intimidated

how about a white guy in military garb.   Is that inherently intimidating to "the others" as well?

now we've narrowed down that the choice of clothing is what might potentially intimidate people

how about a cowboy hat and boots

would that also be intimidating

Perception was the point of my previous post.  The black panthers represent a certain attitude and political philosophy which is not friendly to whites.

If I were a black person in a rural area in the south a man in a cowboy hat and boots could be viewed as intimidating.

A suit would not be intimidating in this context because it doesn't have as strong an association. Lots of people wear suits, from bankers to teachers, most do not have the reputation for violence.  In some situation a man in a suit would be considered intimidating, in an interview for example but even in that context there isn't an association with violence.

couldn't a man like that be potentially intimidating to a poor black or latino voter merely by his skin color and choice of clothes?

 This is so pathetic.. If a aryan brotherhood member put on their fatigues and stood outside polling places the news would scream suppression.. Last election there was two panthers holding clubs/batons and the justicedept decided to drop the issue.. It would be different if reversed.. Just stop the bullshit and admit it is not right..

This is so pathetic.. If a Caucasian brotherhood member put on their fatigues and stood outside polling places the news would scream suppression.. Last election there was two panthers holding clubs/batons and the justicedept decided to drop the issue.. It would be different if reversed.. Just stop the bullshit and admit it is not right.. He and others are there for a reason.. To try and intimidate.. You'd be screaming if reversed..

I'm sure you are not intimidated by that guy

I'm not and apparently no on else on this thread is either

how about a white man in a suit and tie in an urban, low income and minority district where no one else is wearing a suit

couldn't a man like that be potentially intimidating to a poor black or latino voter merely by his skin color and choice of clothes?


Yes, because he would probably be perceived as someone in authority like a police officer or other member of government.  That was my point, when I talked about a group of cops or rednecks standing around at the polls.  They don't have to say a word or act violently toward anyone.

The black panthers claim to be at the polls to insure fairness and they are able to do this because of the perception they have for violence and aggression. Black Panthers are well aware of how they are perceived and use their reputation to intimidate without ever saying a word or physically harming another person. For instance, if you believed strongly that a person is willing to do you harm, wouldn't you be leery of them regardless of how they behave toward you based on reputation alone?

ok well at least that is a consistent point of view although it's not one that I agree with.   I think people on this thread are assuming way too much for "others", especially given that not one person on this thread finds that guy peronally intimidating

my personal view is that unless there is an obvious act of intimidation or accusations of such then everyone should just relax.   I've watched the video of this guy and he appears to be smiling, opening the door for people, ectc. and if he lives in that neighborhood then the people there are probbly not intimidated by how he is dressed

He may be friendly but he wore the black panther superhero costume for a very specific reason.   He derives his power from what the outfit and the group he belongs to represent to a lot of white people.   He could just as easily shown up dressed casually and done the same job, but that wouldn't have projected the image and message he was looking to convey.

I explained to you that being personally intimidated is irrelevant. I'm not personally intimidated by that man either.  It is about the projection of image and what that projection is intended to convey.  He could have just as easily done his job in plain clothed but he chose to wear his black panther get up for a reason and it wasn't because black is slimming.   Why did ancient warriors don frightening head dresses and wear war paint?  To intimidate the enemy.

Why in the fuck would a legitimate poll watcher show up in a black panther uniform? Hmm?

His tux was at the dry cleaners.

Again, as a legitimate poll watcher, ...who would he be trying to intimidate?
...those looking to commit voter fraud?

Whomever they felt would be intimidated by his presense at the polls wearing a black panther costume.  Wearing the costume serves a purpose or he wouldn't have worn it, you can't deny that.   He intended to project an image and the question to ask yourself is, why did he wear it, what was the reason he wore it and to whom was that message directed?   This isn't politically motivated on my part.  It just seems like anyone with a basic understanding of psychology can see what was intended. He'll, I can give you a alternative read of the situation.  I'm surprised no on has.

those 2008 fools weren't charged.  The decision was made in Dec 2008.   Under Bush's DOJ.

This guy today - he had a camera all over him.  Smiling and saying hi.  He wasn't acting intimidating.   Anyone who is intimidated by a dude's clothes or skin color has their own issues to deal with.  I'm guessing they wouldn't be scared of a 130 pound twink white dude in that uniform, huh?

I think a white guy dressed as a Black Panther would get laughed at, yes.

I think a valid point, is if you were a black person headed to vote for Obama in a predominately pro-Romney area, and the KKK were standing out front, that would be vote intimidation. The same holds true in reverse, it can sway a persons decision to vote.

Maybe he felt he'd be in danger of being arrested if he appeared in ordinary street clothing. ???

What the fvck does OJ Simpson have to do with this?

Sorry, I didn't realize I had to hold your hand and guide you through  this.  I'll type a little slower for you.

You have been trumpeting the new Panthers as a group that has no former ties to the old and should not be considered intimidating.  I pointed out that they were in the press, accused of voter intimidation only four years ago.  You called that point a fail since the DoJ dismissed the charges (they actually did not dismiss all of them, but why bother with facts).   Since you feels the dismissal proves innocence, I referred to another popular case  where an accused person was found innocent to see if you believe it.

Yes.  There are people who are intimated by black men in uniform, right or wrong.  I assume that's why he's there, until someone provides are tangible alternative to consider.

you are such a fag

just because you're intimidated by a sight of a black man does not mean that everyone feels the same way

this guy is doing nothing wrong and has the same right to be a poll watcher (and why anyone would want to spend all day doing that I have no idea) as anyone else..... including you

agreed...EPIC terror at seeing a black man on the street

Read the thread before you take one piece out of context.  Then, if you can actually comprehend the overall point, tell me what you disagree with.
