All the symbols depicted in the hate symbols database must be evaluated in the context in which they appear. Few symbols represent just one idea or are used exclusively by one group. For example, 100% is often used as an amount or an expression and it is also used by some white supremacists as shorthand for "100% white." Similarly, other symbols in this database may be significant to people who are not extreme or racist. The descriptions here point out significant multiple meanings but may not be able to relay every possible meaning of a particular symbol.
Group Status: Active
The New Black Panther Party for Self Defense (not related to the original Black Panther Party) is the most extreme organized racist and antisemitic African-American group in the United States.
The group's logo consists of a leaping panther (an image appropriated from the original Black Panthers) superimposed over the continent of Africa. Above this image is the group's name; below it is the phrase "Freedom or Death." The logo contains the colors red, green, and yellow, which are common "Pan-African" colors derived from the Ethiopian flag.
