Malik Shabazz, former chairman of the New Black Panther Party and president of Black Lawyers for Justice, called on President Trump to provide reparations for slavery or designate territory solely for African-Americans.

“We must have reparations, full compensation for the theft of our land, the theft of our bodies, the theft of our people from Africa, the theft of our dignity; the desecration of our souls decade after decade after decade after decade. As I said, we don’t want your food stamps. We don’t want no government handout. We don’t want to be trying to fix up some paperwork so I can get Social Security. We want our own. Donald Trump, you don’t want us? You don’t want to be around us? Hot dammit, I don’t want to be around you,” Shabazz said during a “Save Our Sons: Stop the Killing” and "Condemn Donald Trump" National Black Men’s Convention march and rally outside of the White House on Saturday organized by the National Black Men’s Movement.

“We want land. We want our own. You don’t like us, Mr. Trump? Break us off some of this territory. You don’t like us, Mr. Trump? You don’t want to be around us? Then hand over the state of Florida,” he added. “You don’t want to be around us – make a trade. Give me Georgia. Give me Alabama. Give me South Carolina.”

Speakers at the National Black Men’s Movement events included representatives from the New Black Panther Party and other organizations such as city-level Black Lives Matter groups and the National Action Network. Shabazz, who organized the rally, slammed Trump for calling an NFL player who kneels during the national anthem a “son of a bitch.”

“If you’re a son of a bitch, as Donald Trump says, who is your mama? Where I come from, you talk about my mama that’s some fighting words. Where I come from, a man don’t let nobody talk about his mama like that; he’s ready to throw down. Where is your toughness, black man? Where is your hard-nosedness, black man? Where is your anger, black man? Where is your militancy, black man? Donald Trump says black men are sons of bitches and thereby he calls, pardon me, but I have to say it, he calls the black woman a bitch as well,” he said to chants of “Black Power” from the crowd. “The black woman is the mother of all living things on the planet… Your women didn’t take care of your babies. It was black women on the plantation that took care of your little nasty babies.”

Shabazz continued, “Donald Trump, the black man is not a son of a bitch. He is the original man. He’s the maker. He’s the owner. He’s the cream of the planet Earth, father of civilization and he’s the God of the universe. He is your father, cracker. Donald Trump, I’m your daddy. I’m your daddy and you’re a child that’s out of line. This is a child in the White House throwing a temper tantrum every five minutes – what kind of fool is this, unable to control his emotions?”

John Cheeks, head of the United States Citizens Recovery Initiative Alliance, also called for reparations or “recovery benefits for black Americans.”

“We need our unpaid due. We need it now. We cannot live in this country without money. How many can live without money? Raise your hand. I thought so. We have a president who’s in the house that our ancestors built for free. We have a congressional seat who is at the Capitol that our ancestors built for free,” he said.

“We have the senators at that Capitol who enjoy the dome for free. It is time for all industries, all institutions, all associations and yes, we have public utility companies who have benefitted from slavery, such as your water company and your gas company,” he added. “How do you think water was purified? Who did it? How do you think the gas lines were buried in the street? Who do you think did it?”

Cheeks said African-Americans should attach a note to their utility bill payments that reads, “My ancestors are still looking for their unpaid wages.”

Dr. Cornel West, who described himself as a “revolutionary Christian,” explained why he decided to join the rally and spend time with the New Black Panther Party.

“This is very important because we need to be able to come together across political, ideological and religious lines. People ask me all the time, why is it that you spend time with the New Black Panther Party, with brother [chairman] Hashim [Nzinga]?” West said at the rally. “Why do you spend time with brother Malik Shabazz? I say, ya’ll don’t understand that when you’re a love warrior you love black folk in all the different forms and all the different embodiment. Why? Because I am who I am because somebody loved me, beginning with my mama and my father.”

The Southern Poverty Law Center designates the New Black Panther Party as a hate group, calling it “a virulently racist and anti-Semitic organization whose leaders have encouraged violence against whites, Jews and law enforcement officers.”

Arthur Reed, a community activist from Baton Rouge, urged the crowd not to “sit back” while police kill innocent African-Americans such as Alton Sterling. “Sometimes the only thing that this man understands is hand-to-hand combat and we cannot continue to sit back and play the coward role and pray for a better day, dammit,” Reed said at the rally. “We’re going to make it a better day because a better day has already come with what you see before you.”

We must have reparations

NO.

[Reno89519]

RepRations? Fine, so long as it is tied to repatriation. Give them money, renounce citizenship, and get one way ticket to Africa.

[PIF]

The Indian tribes of America and descendants of Anthony Johnson refuse to pay ...

[fieldmarshaldj]

The time for setting aside territory was in 1866. It’s a little late now.

[Reverend Wright]

“We want land. We want our own. You don’t like us, Mr. Trump? Break us off some of this territory. You don’t like us, Mr. Trump? You don’t want to be around us? Then hand over the state of Florida,” he added. “You don’t want to be around us – make a trade. Give me Georgia. Give me Alabama. Give me South Carolina.”

I think California, Mass and NY States should voluntarily hand themselves over.

The residents of these ultra-liberal states like to talk big about their commitment to “social justice”.

Walk the walk !

The man’s ignorance cannot be expressed in the language that I am familiar with.

[KyCats]

Could probably slice off a section of northern Alaska for them.

Could probably slice off a section of northern Alaska for them.

Only until we find oil there. Ask the Indians in Oklahoma. I'm okay with reparations for anyone who was a U.S. slave, or whose parents were held in bondage. Before that, the Statute of Limitations has lapsed. Of course,penalties would be paid by the slave holders themselves.

[Mark17]

The Southern Poverty Law Center designates the New Black Panther Party as a hate group, calling it “a virulently racist and anti-Semitic organization whose leaders have encouraged violence against whites, Jews and law enforcement officers.”

I thought the SPLC was a virulently racist, anti white, anti Semitic hate group???? Did they finally get a clue? I find that, hard to believe.

[pepsionice]

It would seem like that if you open up this Pandoras Box of reparation....you’d have around 300-different groups, cultures, tribes, etc....wanting a ‘piece’. You would just end up with hundreds of ‘monarchy-like’ territories existing, and in continual conflicts with each other.

[Telepathic Intruder]

There were white slaves in America before there were black slaves. If time has run out for them to get reparations, then it has for blacks too.

[Sivad]

Ain’t going to happen. But for the sake of discussion
let’s say the US supplies enough land and funds to
satisfy your demands. Will that buy perennial peace?
If I pay for your “forgiveness “ then I expect to no
longer have to listen to your tales of victimhood from
those who were never victimized by me in the first place.
The history books can now reflect that the account is
settled.

[semaj]

Shabaz = Farrakhan Jr./wannabe

[Moltke]

Did they finally get a clue? I find that, hard to believe.

Competition. Fighting to milk the same cow. Can't have that.

[outofsalt]

Special field order 15. Thank General Sherman when you see him.

None of these blacktivist clowns believes they’ll get reparations in the sense of cash and land; their real goal is to maintain the current entitlements (free rent, food, public education, government jobs, quotas for jobs in the private sector) - and it is working. There is no legal defense for affirmative action, yet it is still here.

The black leadership, together with white liberals, know assimilation has failed and are grasping at the next best thing: The de facto reparations they’ve been reaping for half a century now.

[4Runner]

I can’t believe we as a nation tolerate a racist black male talking about a white sitting U.S. President with such hatefulness and hostility and disrespect. He should be arrested and charged with hate speech.

[kearnyirish2]

“Nation” is hate speech now; we’re part of a global community without borders /s

This lunatic sounds just like the professor of a "Black Studies" class I took:

“If you’re a son of a bitch, as Donald Trump says, who is your mama? Where I come from, you talk about my mama that’s some fighting words. Where I come from, a man don’t let nobody talk about his mama like that; he’s ready to throw down. Where is your toughness, black man? Where is your hard-nosedness, black man?
