D. Amari Jackson, who has participated here in the past (In fact, Cynique reviewed his novel the Savion Sequence) wrote a well written, accurate, and inspiring about Paul Coates, "How an Ex-Black Panther Waged a Successful, Four-Decade Revolution In Publishing Without Planning To" check it out

Paul Coates, who is Ta-Nehisi's father has always been supportive of AALBC.com.  It is elders like him who provide the inspiration and support (including financial) which allows independent Black-owned business to grow.  People like Paul are usually overlooked, by the press, who rather expend valuable resources on degenerates like Milo.  The Atlantic Black Star website is an increasingly rare exception.

I wonder how the brother feels about the New Black Pather Party (or "parties" as it appears that many of them have sprung up all over the U.S. lately) and how it/they are different than the original.

I've heard a lot of original Panthers level heavy criticizm at the more contemporary ones.
