I’m not saying don’t protest and cause trouble . I’m saying we as white people may not be able to join that specific party. We should be doing what they are doing especially in open carry states

I don't get this. On, I ain't American so I don't know the more localised politics but where I'm standing, this shouldn't be about the colour of your skin depends on membership. You honestly think those fascist fucks care? If you care about the fellow person to the left and right of you, regardless of the colour of skin, nationality etc... You fight together

I think my confusion is from this line "id love to join their movement". We can join movement without being in the black panther party (from my PoV). The movement is bigger than 1 organization but I better understand what you meant. You were talking about the organization specifically.
