The New Black Panther Party (NBPP) was founded in Dallas, Texas, in 1989. Despite its name, this party isn’t an official successor of the original Black Panther Party (BPP). It has some equal and different aspects in relation to the original party, which we’ll try to make distinction here.
The movement is based on a Ten Point Program, as the BPP was, but these points have some distinctions to the original movement that reveals the movement's philosophy.

Some of the points are very much similar to the BPP’s Ten Point Program, but in others a more radical speech against white people is observed. In the 10th program, one of the most radicals, they defend that there is no possibility of cohabiting between black and white people (“History has proven that the white man is absolutely disagreeable to get along with in peace (…) We believe that his very nature will not allow for true sharing, fairness, equity and justice.”) and defends the creation of “a separate state or territory of our own” (for the party or the black people?).

The New Black Panthers are identified as a hate group by the Anti-Defamation League, by the Southern Poverty Law Center and even by the Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation, which defends that the Black Panthers Party wasn’t a hate group.
“As guardian of the true history of the Black Panther Party, the [Dr. Huey P. Newton] Foundation, which includes former leading members of the Party, denounces this group's exploitation of the Party's name and history. Failing to find its own legitimacy in the black community, this band would graft the Party's name upon itself, which we condemn... [T]hey denigrate the Party's name by promoting concepts absolutely counter to the revolutionary principles on which the Party was founded... The Black Panthers were never a group of angry young militants full of fury toward the 'white establishment.' The Party operated on love for black people, not hatred of white people.”

Their arguments are seen to be more emotional then rational, in the Ten Point Program and in their speeches, the belief is that because of the oppression that black people suffered during the history, and in the American history specifically, a non-moderated reaction is needed to establish better life conditions to the black community and, in a future, separate white from black people in different territories. This belief is taken as truth, there is no developing of dialogues between white and black, or between the government and the black poor communities. They don’t defend trying to understand the other (not NBPP member) and his beliefs. Without dialogue, the only way to make a discourse be heard is by force.
