in the late 1960s, the black panthers started a free breakfast for children program, serving thousands of black and poor kids across the country. concerned that the program would spread anti-white propaganda, the fbi decided to spread their own anti-white propaganda as a pre-emptive strike, in the form of a coloring book. the fbi took a book rejected by the panthers, added even more offensive illustrations, and mass mailed it to white supporters of the panthers in an effort to stifle legitimate dissent by association. cointelpro at its oddest if not its absolute worst.
