The first paragraph states "The party suffered many internal conflicts, resulting in the murders of Alex Rackley and Betty Van Patter." but the murder of Betty Van Patter remains unsolved and has never been connected to her party activity, it's pure speculation. Betty Van Patter's name should be removed from the sentence. 2001:2042:5E01:AB00:E04D:49E2:538:469B ( talk) 01:38, 23 February 2024 (UTC) reply

 Not done: See the section Black Panther Party#Death of Betty van Patter. It states ... the Black Panther Party leadership was "almost universally believed to be responsible". If you believe this is a misinterpretation of the sources, you should seek consensus for the change before opening an edit request. Liu1126 ( talk) 18:22, 24 February 2024 (UTC) reply

The original black panther party still continues, they have resurfaced and are speaking out. Please check out the Powhatan school board meeting. After the black panther party went underground and resurfaced back in Milwaukee under leadership of former black panther party member of 1966 Micheal McGee sr. Resurfaced as the leader of the black panther party militia when Micheal McGee sr retired he then passed the torch to his trained body guard of many years named Darryl “king Rick” farmer. On Saturday, July 18th revolutionary history was made. The Biggest Panther in the Jungle, Darryl King Rick Farmer II passed the crown to his "Sun" General Mike Pain, making him The Leader of the Original Black Panthers.

With the Original Black Panthers' mantra being, "The complete village is our family," General Mike Pain will strive to continue to keep King Rick's legacy alive by staying true to the people and always keeping the community first.

General Mike Pain's goals consist of following the blueprint that was initially created by Huey P. Newton, Bobby Seale, and Michael McGee Sr. He is committed to developing OBP chapters in each state, and he longs to bring about positive change when it comes to the development of the black community and the mindset of our people as a whole.

The Original Black Panthers are extremely thankful for King Rick and all that he has done to make this eminent organization what it is. OBP will continue to take the daily necessary steps needed in order to bring about constructive change to the black community.

With the passing of the torch, many members are extremely thrilled to see what General Mike Pain has in store for the many years to come. "General Pain has drive and his tenaciousness is incomparable. If he wants it, he makes it happen. If the community needs it, he provides it. He's a no-nonsense intellectual and his heart and perseverance is what is going to help him to succeed in this new position. We're all proud of him and we all respect him. To be against General Pain is to be against OBP, and you don't want that" says a soldier. Due to controversy of the name “militia” general Mike pain changed the name to the original black panther party to pay homeage to the beginning of the black panther party for self defense. The original black panther party is the direct bloodline to the original black panther party for self defense. The black panthers are back!!! Pantherqueen757 ( talk) 06:05, 27 March 2024 (UTC) reply
