How do american leftists here feel about the New Black Panther Party?
I usually assume they're a shittier version of the old BPP, but I've recently found out about a prison organizer called Rashid and he seems to have some support from leftists and some left-wing credentials:
NBP are the reactionary black supremacists that stupid right wingers think the original black panthers were. There's a reason why the surviving panthers want nothing to do with them.

Most leftists/liberals have never heard of them. Those that do are deathly afraid of them and want the government to ban both guns and islam because it's scary to them.
For context, remember that the vast majority of people who remember who the black panthers were actually REMEMBER it. As in, they're old enough to remember the 1960s and 70s when they were active. They're crusty old boomers who left the Republican party in the 90s due to their "unreasonable" turn against gun control, which is still a thing they support and promote within the Democratic Party.
Meanwhile black panthers are generally well known and liked on the right due to their support for open carry, pics related from the infamous Sacramento protest that caused California Governor Ronald Reagan to ban open carrying of firearms in 1967.
