Black panthers to march at Duke Univeristy

This country is really becoming a three-ring circus. To have Duke kowtowing to the Black Panthers is like having the University of Berlin invite the Nazis in. Decent people, take note of what's happening. Protect yourselves. Speak out. Don't accept this crap. Arm yourselves.

[G.Mason]

" Asked whether his followers will be armed when they come to Duke, Shabazz chuckled and said, "I don't know if I can comment on that.""

Well I am certain the authorities will comment on that, and if they don't the citizenry will. (or should)

Anybody think this could lead to Rodney King-style riot

I think that is the desired result.

[popdonnelly]

(who by nature is a queen and a divine black woman

Not to mention a liar and a hooker. But if Shabazz wants to have fantasies, that's his business.

[L98Fiero]

"By the way, if the media wants a real party, why don't they invite the loser duo of the KKK and Nazi skinheads, and allow all three of these cretinous groups to rub each other out?"

Oooo, I'd pay money to see that! ;)

[chesley]

I thought so. Thanks.

[billbears]

And make sure you hold the march the same day there's a major immigration march that's supposed to happen in Raleigh and Winston Salem, also the night before the Durham primary. Think WRAL has enough reporters to cover all that?

[SauronOfMordor]

"We as black men cannot sit idly by and allow white men to rape black women, regardless of what our sister (who by nature is a queen and a divine black woman) was doing," Shabazz is quoted as saying in a media release announcing the event.

They believe that blacks are by nature kings and queens. That raises the question "If they are kings and queens, over whom are they intending to rule?"

The obvious answer, of course, is "US"

And if you think that objective is ridiculous, keep in mind that in 1930's Germany and 1918 Russia, relatively small but well-organized armed groups did succeed in seizing power

The New Black Pantloads must be trying to follow in the (Not Really A Reverend) Al Sharpton, World Class Race Pimp.

If it weren't for the Tawana Brawley fraud, Al would still be licking Percy Suttons boots instead of running for POTUS. The New Black Pantloads obviously are hard up for something to give them a reason for existing.

Khallid Muhammad

The star of the show, however, was Khallid Muhammad himself, who took the stage in the black paramilitary uniform of the New Black Panther Party for Self Defense, the organization he helped found after being booted from the Nation of Islam. Throughout his rambling hour-and-fifteen-minute-long speech, a group of uniformed guards surrounded him and mimicked his every step.

Back in the days when he was Farrakhan’s personal bodyguard, Muhammad carried a .38 hidden in a hollowed-out Bible. In some ways, he still does, attempting to cover his febrile hatreds in the rhetoric of self-empowerment and a sham version of Islam. Most of the time, the cover doesn’t work.

And so we learned that AIDS, asthma, and cancer are creations of the white government "against our people." In fact, said Muhammad, things here in the "United Snakes of America" (he had the crowd repeat the phrase) are so dire that young people must "lay the base for revolutionary change." He suggested as their models not only the Tienanmen Square protesters, but also the Vietcong, Fidel Castro’s troops, and "the youth who stood up with Moammar Al Qaddafi." Muhammad later gave a detailed explanation of the origins of the term "cracker."

There were actually a few moments when I found myself agreeing with him—as when he told the men in the audience to "respect the black woman," and when he criticized the violence and crudity of so many Hollywood movies. But those moments passed quickly—Muhammad went on to say that black men should respect black women because white women are inferior, and that Hollywood is bad because it is "controlled by the Jews." If too many black characters are getting murdered onscreen, the solution is to "make some movies where the cracker is getting killed."

With what must have seemed to him like superhuman restraint, Muhammad refrained from his usual habit of referring to Jews as "bloodsuckers." But he did take pains to catalogue the misdeeds of "the so-called Jews." He explained at length that black people are the true Israelites of the Bible, God’s chosen people, their rightful identity fiendishly stolen by the people today called Jews (whom he said had "just crawled out of the caves and hills of Europe a few days ago"). But in one of the mental contortions typical of Afrocentrism, Muhammad also told the crowd that blacks are the direct descendants of the ancient Egyptians—who enslaved the Israelites for 400 years and were drowned in the Red Sea for doing so. Such contradictions, of course, are irrelevant, the purpose of the story being simply to provide a rationale for hating Jews and for yet another round of Black Power salutes

our sister (who by nature is a queen and a divine black woman)

That sounds almost racist

[ricks_place]

who by nature is a queen. Welfare queen?

Your comment is at best stereotypical and at worst racist. There is no good reason to offend even one right-thinking, conservative, fine black Freeper.

P.S. She obviously was employed, though in a distasteful position.

>>Oooo, I'd pay money to see that! ;)<<

I was once in the middle of a riot started with a confrontation between skinheads and the Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigade. The Skinheads were carrying American flags and dared the communists to step on the flag. A police officer coming over to check the situation out slipped and fell - another officer saw him fall and issued and officer down call and it felt like every cop in Atlanta with a shotgun showed up.

I'd suggest watching from a distance.

[chesley]

That would probably be a blonde ice goddess.

[usmcobra]

I doubt they could afford the trip. I read an expo about the KKK a year or so ago. They only have about 20-25 real members, no money and nobody is joining up. The most overhyped "organization" in America right now.

The democrats cut off their funding of the Klan, that's why they are no longer a threat.

[Howlin]

Born Paris Lewis, Shabazz is, for all his radical exploits, a member in good standing of the Washington, D.C., Bar who graduated from Howard University School of Law in 1995. In 2003 he organized Black Lawyers for Justice. He is an inveterate organizer. As an undergraduate in 1988, he founded Unity Nation, a "Black Revolutionary" student group. This led to his association with the notorious Khallid Abdul Muhammad, then of the Nation of Islam, who later chaired the New Black Panther Party from 1998 until his death in February 2001.

Muhammad is best known for his address at Kean College in New Jersey in November 1993, when he was spokesman for Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. In the three-hour speech, Muhammad denounced whites, gays, Jews and Catholics, and called for the murder of every white person remaining in South Africa. [5] Muhammad was subsequently fired by Farrakhan, who stated that he differed not with the content of Muhammad's remarks, but only with his manner of delivery.

Shabazz emulates his late mentor in cultivating an inflated impression of his own power and importance. Just as the New Black Panther Party website claims that Muhammad's Kean College speech "shook the racist, Zionist, imperialist, white supremist foundation of the world," [6] Shabazz introduced Muhammad in 1995 by saying, "We want to bring on a man who gives the white man nightmares. We want to bring on a man who makes the Jews pee in their pants at night.... My big brother, Dr. Khallid Muhammad!" [7]

Like big brother, like little brother. At a February 1994 rally that Shabazz organized for Muhammad at Howard University, he warmed up the crowd by whipping them into a frenzy with a vicious anti-Semitic call-and-response. [8] In an October 2001 press conference that was televised live on C-SPAN2, Shabazz blamed Israel for the September 11 attack on New York's World Trade Center. [9] At an April 2002 protest outside B'nai B'rith headquarters in Washington, DC, he said, "Kill every goddamn Zionist in Israel! Goddamn little babies, goddamn old ladies! Blow up Zionist supermarkets!" [10]

New Black Panther Mouthpiece

[bdfromlv]

If you look up the FBI crime statistics on violent crime for rape of black women by white men the number nation wide is 0. or not enough to even report under white women by black men the number is around 20,000. the real disparity from the FBI records is they dont seperate hispanics from whites and the numbers are scewed to look like whitey is more of a criminal.

[SauronOfMordor]

Anybody think this could lead to Rodney King-style riot if the accused are found innocent while the Black Panthers are in town?

And Duke's campus is unarmed except for (maybe) campus security. Duke policy on weapons

It is against North Carolina state law and university policy to possess a gun, rifle, pistol, or other firearm of any kind, or any powerful explosive on university property. Likewise, students are not permitted to possess on campus any weapon, including mace, BB gun, stun gun, paintball gun, air rifle, air pistol, sword, bowie knife, dagger, slingshot, switchblade knife, blackjack, and metallic knuckles

If the Panthers show up armed, who is going to stop them?

[blueminnesota]

How is ridiculing this idiot's statement racist? You think that this woman is a "queen"? I'm speculating what kind of "queen" he is referring to. Take your self-righteous accusations elsewhere.
