Depends on who's doing it. During the 80's a group of homophobic and racist clowns calling themselves "Uhuru House" tried to claim the legacy, but lacked both the leadership skills and the depth to pull anything of importance off. They put forth a political theory based upon the submission of white activists to the will of black people (as voiced by Uhuru House), and managed to alienate just about everyone in all of the Bay Area communities.
If these guys have just changed their name, it will go nowhere fast.
Yours,
