Actually the Black panther did not ever have a free ride. They were bourn from racist hatred and were ultimately destroyed by the security forces. When did they ever have a free ride to anywhere other than jail??

If black folks were the tea party, and they tried marching armed on DC this is what would happen... The police would show in record numbers... They would shoot high powered fire hose at them... With the tasers nowadays, I fore see a shortage of batteries in the general area of the protest... The national gaurd would be called in...

Absolutely none of which has happened in modern times, particularly in very highly visible black mass-gatherings such as the Million Man March and the Inauguration Day mess in Washington DC, which left the Mall a disaster area.
No hoses, no tasers, no National Guard... You're replaying old 1960s Civil Rights footage in your mind. Time to wake up and come in off the plantation. This is the 21st Century. The politically-correct Central Government would never be perceived to intervene in a black mass-gathering, regardless of the property damage that ensued.
