I have a question. how is it possible that the Free Breakfast for Children program started by BPP could shame administration into the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 if the Party itself was started in October 15, 1966. the article mentions "the huge success" but time was needed for the program to achieve the success. 83.19.97.170 00:03, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article is kind of vague. Locations aren't clear (I didn't realize this was in California until checking the talk page) and things like the name of the federal program that replaced this citizen-run one are not mentioned. I think it needs to be fleshed out and I can't do it myself because I don't know anything about the topic. (67.168.10.30 (talk) 03:45, 20 March 2011 (UTC))[reply]

I question the bias of the source which provided the information used which the first commenter was commenting on. Are we really to take the BPP at its own word? Cliff Racer (talk) 18:27, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Highly Bias

This article appears to be highly bias in favor of the Black Panthers, the sources are either by the Black Panther Party or are affiliated with the Marxists Internet Archive. Lines include information such as, "promoting thereby, at the same time, a model for an alternative, more humane social scheme.", and "More insidiously, the FBI denounced the Party itself as a group of communist outlaws bent on overthrowing the U.S. government." Terms such as "more insidiously" are very non-objective.

I am doing some research now on the history of school breakfast and lunch programs, and am working to update wikipedia as I learn more. I worked on this article some--mostly to get at a neutral, encyclopedic tone and clarify a few points. I am still a relatively inexperienced editor, and don't think I did the citations perfectly. I will consult with a more experienced editor later, and will fix those. I'd like to see these banners removed, since I think I have resolved the issues they address to a great degree.FutureImperfect (talk) 19:44, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nearly a year later, the problems remain. The sources do not meet WP:RS, and there are significant NPOV problems.Pokey5945 (talk) 19:28, 11 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with the sustained charge of bias in the article. The non-objective words complained about are gone. Possible bias in some of the sources (which, upon reading all of them, isn't obvious) is not equivalent to bias in the Wikipedia article. WP:RS makes accommodation for this. Far from there being "significant NPOV problems", it is difficult to imagine how the Black Panthers' breakfast program could be described more accurately, according to the available published sources on this history. If there is a published alternate account that tells the story differently, it should be referenced in the article, and cited. I could locate no conflicting accounts of the program (whether on the web or in the academic literature on this topic). So I've removed the notices. I've also updated the article with more specific information, and more references.Jeandjinni (talk) 18:00, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

List of breakfast topics?

Really? it should have the civil rights movement, or free lunch benefits for poor people by the government whatever the hell it's called. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bumblebritches57 (talk • contribs) 11:37, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Community in Mind

Although very important I appreciate the fact that this article talks about the BPP and their survival programs and how they were able to help the community out by starting at the core, its children. There's something to admire in that the BPP used their own finances in order to help out the less-fortunate youth that was in the community. However, I also think that it was a smart move on their part as well seeing as the media at the time was probably trying to paint them as a crazy terrorist group carrying around guns and threatening the lives of people. What they did was allow for the surrounding community to come in and gather their support as they were able to provide at least one meal for a child a day. I want to state this is no way an accusation that the only reason the BPP started this program was with this goal in mind but I think that it's just something worth thinking about. They realized that they were being portrayed as this hate group but instead of lashing back and trying to convert the medias outlook on them they turned to where it really mattered and that was in the community. By showing the community that the BPP really meant to do well and that all the showings that they saw on TV were probably huge in the eyes of the community as they felt they had less to fear about. I mean we have to think that if parents were willing to trust the BPP with their own kids that they must've been doing something right. Regardless of the fact I would commend the BPP for starting and taking on the initiative and just wanted to through a little insight into a possibility of how they could've benefited from it more than just feeding kids breakfast. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TokoUso6Tree (talk • contribs) 12:30, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
