I was curious about Malik Shabazz,and this is what I found:

Shabazz was born and raised in Los Angeles, California.[3][4] He graduated from Howard University and Howard Law School.[3] In 1995, while he was a law student, Shabazz ran an unsuccessful campaign for a seat on the Washington, D.C., City Council.[4][5]

In 1996, Shabazz founded Black Lawyers for Justice.[1] In 1998, he was recognized by the National Bar Association with its “Young Lawyer of the Year” award.[6] Later that year, he again ran without success for a seat on the D.C. Council.[6]

Shabazz first came to widespread public attention in 1994, when Unity Nation, a student group he founded, invited Khalid Abdul Muhammad to speak at Howard University.[7] Introducing the speaker, Shabazz engaged in a call and response with the audience:

“Who is it that caught and killed Nat Turner?”

“The Jews!”

“Who is it that controls the Federal Reserve?”

“The Jews!”

“Who is it that has our entertainers... and our athletes in a vise grip?”

“The Jews!”[5]

A year later, Shabazz told an interviewer that everything he said was true, with the possible exception of the assertion concerning Nat Turner.[4]

The Anti-Defamation League describes Shabazz as “anti-Semitic and racist”.[1]

Shabazz followed Muhammad’s lead and joined the New Black Panther Party about 1997. When Muhammad—who greatly expanded the organization and rose to its chairmanship—died in 2001, Shabazz took over as National Chairman.[6] The group is described by the Anti-Defamation League as “the largest organized anti-Semitic and racist black militant group in America”.[8]

The principles promoted by Shabazz include:

Black nationalism[4]

Black Power[2]

Support for reparations for slavery[9]

Conspiracy theories about Jewish involvement in the September 11 attacks[10]

The view that Jews dominated the Atlantic slave trade[11]
Anti-Zionism[11]
