Black Panther coloring book?

Subtitle: "Black Panthers protect black children"

The above image was extracted from the series of cartoons called "The Black Panther Coloring Book". It was presented by Cointelpro, an FBI program to neutralize what the FBI called "black nationalist hate groups", to denounce the supposed violence of the Black Panther Party.

Subtitle: "Brothers and sisters deal with the white store owner that robs black people"

It's hard to discover the real origin of these cartoons. Some say they were made by radicals within the movement; others claim that they were created by the Cointelpro to incriminate the party (it's known that the FBI used various illegal actions to try to stain the Black Panther's image).

For us, it's hard to discover proofs of who made them, and maybe where never go in order to discover it. We can only think of what tactics each side made to talk about their "opponent". Panthers members did call the police officers "pigs" in a very provocative way, what was used against their own image, as it would be if the source of these cartoons were from the FBI.

The image of a group can be very distorted by a speech. It doesn't exist in an objective way, it depends on the point of view, who is talking about that group. The Panthers talking about the police force or the police force talking about the Panthers.
