Malik Zulu Shabazz, leader of the "New Black Panthers Party"
Imagine if some honkey said something like this to a black Congressman. The libbies panties would be in more knots than a reggae musician’s dread locks. From the Washington Times:
“According to Mr. [U.S. Congressman Frank R., R-Virginia] Wolf, Mr. Shabazz recently issued a statement that said: “These right-wing white, red-faced, red-neck Republicans are attacking the hell out of the New Black Panther Party, and were organizing now to fight back … We gearing up for a showdown with this cracker … He keep talking — we going to Capitol Hill, were just gearing up right now, well go to Capitol Hill.” (I know, this sounds like a parody–like something that I would invent a black panther saying about some old white dude. But I didn’t. And this Shabazz dude is supposedly a D.C. lawyer. )
The bruhaha resulted from the Congressman wanting the dismissal of charges of intimidation against Black Panthers members in Philly investigated. Congressman Wolf, don’t you know that you can’t investigate the dropped charges against the New Black Panthers while a brutha is in the House?
But just imagine if the roles were reversed: How about if the President of the N.R.A. said about a black Congressman: “These left-wing black, scar-faced, ghetto Democrats are attacking the hell out of the National Rifle Association, and we’re organizing now to fight back … We gearing up for a showdown with this niggah … He keep talking — we going to Capitol Hill, we’re just gearing up right now, we’ll go to Capitol Hill.”
Here is a little sample about Malik Shabazz’ philosophy of reparations, from an interview that he gave The Final Call:
When whitefolks organized the “boston tea party” in dispute with the way they were being treated , it was seen by the masses of white America as honorable. When Attorney Malik Zulu Shabazz, speaks on the reparations movement, and the right for Black people to be repaired, and obtain some good earth to call our own NOW in your eyes he’s doing wrong. In the eyes of history you are a Hypocrite. The settlements of America were developed, by differn’t armies fighting for land. The Blackman was in many of white America’s wars, but doesn’t reap the benifits of the victories. You can be in denial as much as you want, but the brother Malik Zulu Shabazz hasn’t lied .. and the end of your little white perspective, is being overrun by BLACK FACTS.
Dude, I’m with you about the general mistreatment of blacks in the past. But I DID NOT DO IT. I did not benefit from it. I did not have any part of it. I’m poor white trash from Michigan. Never even knew any blacks until I was in college. Tell me again how any of it is my fault? And now you want ME to pay reparations? You can drag reparations out of my cold white hands after I am dead.
Chawn Kweli, “The Blackman was in many of white America’s wars, but doesn’t reap the benifits of the victories.” WRONG! Here’s a “little white perspective” for you, the biggest war this country has ever been in (by number of deaths) was the Civil War! A war which was overwhelmingly fought by white men for, among other things, to end slavery. I’ll make you a deal. I’ll help you get reparations for slavery if you pay back all those white and black families that lost loved ones in the Civil War. Deal? Want to guess who will come out the loser in that deal? Oh and by the way, I cut and pasted all the quotes from your post and a word of advice, If your gonna be a national spokesman for someone then learn to spell or at least use spell checker next time.
