The other side was that her old man had more money than God, so while privilege was probably involved it’s not just a theoretical construct - money talks.

It is obvious, what they were trying to do, but they really never had to deal with the same kind of oppression that other minority groups were up against.

Their logic and aggression seems almost misplaced and completely immature in its scope.

If I remember correctly, the black panthers shunned the Weather Underground group, and told them to stop trying to connect the two groups

Ayers and the weather underground were a bit of different story. The logic of their actions was the fact they were militantly fighting white supremacy in solidarity with the third world proletarians both home and abroad. They were mostly upper (not middle) class whites who’s politics was fused with LSD and maoism. Many blacks like Angela Davis got involved with this type of stupid adventurism, and the outcome was generally worse though Davis ended up quite well off.

While the weather underground should be criticized so should third world marxism and leftist adventurism. It’s interesting to note that a militant anti-racist white (Ayers), might tip the election scales against the first viable black presidential candidate in US history.
