The bipartisan panel investigating allegations that the Justice Department wrongly abandoned a case against the New Black Panther Party plans to issue a new round of subpoenas and call for a separate federal probe following explosive testimony from an ex-Justice official, a commissioner said.
As the case heats up, members of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights may even travel to SouthCarolina to track down one witness.
On July 11th 2010, President of the group, Malik Zulu Shabazz (real name unknown) appeared asa guest on Geraldo Rivera and turned a philosophical debate into a war on whites seeking reparation for any and everything done to ancestors he doesn’t even recall the names of; praising all that is black and condemning all that is white. Even going so far as to reluctantly recall his applauding Osama Bin Laden!
So, why all the fuss? Because while all that jazz is somewhat fascinating, I can’t help but to ask:
Who the hell are these clowns?
As most Black Americans, I have some knowledge of the original Black Panther Party for Self- Defense, most prominent from roughly 1965-1971. Furthermore Anti-Semitic, Anti-American and Anti-Republican, were not amongst the descriptive monikers of the BPP founders just forty some-odd years ago.
The New BPP recently the headlines with their outlandish remarks and rebel-rousing violent rhetoric when Shabazz gave an interview with Tommy Christopher this July on www.mediaite.com. The conversation went a little as follows:
Tommy Christopher: What do you think about the rally that Glenn Beck plans to have on August 28,the anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream speech,” at the Lincoln Memorial?”
Malik Zulu Shabazz: I am aware of it, and that Glenn Beck should not be allowed to have this rally. Glenn Beck is a sneaky little devil, and he does sneaky things, and tries to portray that he’s really not the neo-racist that he really is. And for him to go and to secure the Lincoln Memorial on Dr. King’s birthday will meet not only opposition from civil rights leaders, but it’s going to meet direct opposition from the New Black Panther Party. . . Since he wants to go on Fox News, but he doesn’t want to invite us on Fox News..”
Tommy Christopher: “Beck had you on before, but not anymore?”
Malik Zulu Shabazz: “It’s some kind of conspiracy going on, to keep the truth out, and to keep us off the airwaves, to keep talking about us, but not talk to us. So we’ll see Glenn Beck live in person. I don’t think his rally should be allowed to happen.”
Tommy Christopher: “Once again, any members that show up, you would advise them to act within the law…”
Malik Zulu Shabazz: “I’m going to be there. I want to see him myself. Sneaky little devil.”
It should be noted that New BPP members have referred to "bloodsucking Jews", and Khalid Abdul Muhammad has blamed slavery and even the Holocaust on the "hooked-nose, bageleating,lox-eating, perpetrating-a-fraud, so-called Jew".
Among all of the chaos, the remaining members of the Original Black Panther Party have not been silent. In a recent statement released by Bobby Seale, co-founder alongside the deceased Huey P. Newton, he made clear his position on the radical organization.
“ Just to hate another person because [of] the color of their skin or their ethnicity - we don't do that. That's not what the goal objective is. The goal objective is human liberation. The goal objective is the greater community cooperation and humanism. The goal objective is to get rid of institutionalized racism [...] ”
Robert George "Bobby" Seale, July 8, 2010
As a proud Black woman, I worry that as some of our people look for pay-back for our history as servants, we will destroy are chances of eliminating the connotation of servitude within our race. I worry that we will destroy our own freedoms by our actions, without any help from outside racists or political powers.
This is nothing like the original Black Panthers, who were Black Americans, and never once used the word African because it is retroactive and anti-revolutionary. And even worse, their anti-republican sentiments contradict the principles of the founders of the Black Panthers who refused to identify with any ideology in the two- party system.
What jokes, I am sorely disappointed.
The afore-posted link is the interview which led my blood to boil just hot enough to write on this “man.” Geraldo Rivera is an American attorney, journalist, writer and host on Fox News. He was born in Brooklyn, New York and is half-Puerto-Rican as well as a common sense Conservative. Last night at 10 pm ET, seemingly hours of dialogue were exchanged between himself and the just-plain-wrong Shabazz who referred to Rivera as a “sellout” because he “does not support reparations.”
Long story short, I encourage all concerned, independent and conservative black Americans to research and form an educated opinion on the New BPP sine the US Department of Justice is slowly mimicking their principles. The decision not to move forward on a case in which New BPP members were outside of a polling booth screaming “You want freedom, Kill white babies!” and “Hey, you black man, let go of that white woman’s arm!” (Which was shouted at an interracial couple) is racist, cowardly and unconstitutional. For the Assistant Attorney General
Thomas Perez’s to state the Black Panther case “was not supported by the facts,” when there is avideo tape to prove the allegations, is deplorable.
Had the colors been switched, we would have a much different media and public reaction to this crime. Where’s Al Sharpton now?
