DURHAM - The national chairman of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense says his group intends to march at Duke University on Monday to "deal directly" with lacrosse players about charges of rape of an escort service dancer at a team party.
Duke's campus police are coordinating with the Durham Police Department to prepare for the black-separatist group, which has a reputation for coming to its protests armed.
Malik Zulu Shabazz, a Washington lawyer who is the leader of the New Panthers, said he will be in Durham to rally with local black leaders and monitor progress of the criminal case against Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann, the two students charged with raping and kidnapping the dancer.
"We are conducting an independent investigation, and we intend to enter the campus and interview lacrosse players," Shabazz said Thursday. "We seek to ensure an adequate, strong and vigorous prosecution."
Duke is a private institution, and its campus is private property. Shabazz said he has not sought permission to enter but that his group has "received no word that we are not welcome."
John Burness, Duke's vice president for public affairs and community relations, said Thursday that the university will allow a controlled march on campus, as long as the New Black Panthers follow specific rules.
"As an institution we support free speech, and we will treat them like any other group," Burness said. "But we do not permit weapons. We will take necessary steps to keep the campus safe."
One of the key tenets of the New Black Panthers is owning firearms and knowing how to use them, according to the Anti-Defamation League, a national Jewish group that has monitored Shabazz and his followers for years.
"They are a racist and anti-Semitic group," said Myrna Shinbaum, a spokesperson for the New York-based league. "These guys come armed. They carry shotguns to demonstrations. The authorities down there should know this."
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."
A flier distributed by the group this week displays photos of Finnerty and Seligmann and calls for those who have "had enough of disrespect and racism from Duke" to assemble at the front gates of the university's West Campus at 10 a.m.
"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.
In a telephone interview Thursday, Shabazz said he and several local black leaders will meet with Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong about the case Monday. Nifong did not return a message late Thursday seeking to confirm that a meeting is planned.
A "town hall" meeting is also planned at 6 p.m. Monday at St. Joseph's African Methodist Episcopal Church on Fayetteville Street. Shabazz is set to be the keynote speaker. The Rev. Philip R. Cousin Jr., the minister of the church and a Durham County commissioner, did not return calls about the event. Representatives of the NAACP and the Nation of Islam are also expected to attend.
New Panthers' origin
The New Black Panthers is listed as a racist hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization more often cited for its efforts to monitor the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazis and other white supremacists. The Panthers is also disavowed by the Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation, named for the activist who helped found the original Black Panther Party in 1966.
According to the Anti-Defamation League, the New Panthers are a black separatist militia founded in 1990 by Khallid Muhammad, who was removed from a top leadership post at the Nation of Islam after Louis Farrakhan reportedly found his statements against Jews, Catholics and homosexuals too radical.
Shabazz became the group's leader in 2001, after Muhammad's death. He has drawn media headlines in recent years for claiming that Jews were evacuated from the World Trade Center before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and voicing support for Zacarias Moussaoui, the so-called "20th hijacker" who was found eligible for the death penalty this month for his role in the Sept. 11 plot.
Shabazz, who said the group's current membership numbers in the "low thousands," backed away from claims published in a Durham newspaper Thursday that the New Black Panthers are providing security for the dancer and her family after she received death threats.
The accuser's mother told The News & Observer on Thursday that Panthers came by the family's house Wednesday and offered their protection, but the family decline
LOL. I guess the scary part is that this moron should be living under a bridge in a cardboard box, spouting his incoherent crap to passersby while collecting enough spare change for a MD 20-20. Instead, there are those who will listen, follow, and act on his hatred.
Only thing I know for sure is that if he ever succeeds in his attempts to start a racial war, he better stay out of my AO.
Simply because of the color of their skin and history, which has led to racism against every other group who these panthers decide to target ...
Um, the last time somebody suggested that here in North Carolina, it didn't work out all that well, for anybody:
Little Truth In Truth And Reconciliation
On April 18, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission will be back before the Greensboro City Council asking for its endorsement, which means Nelson Johnson, one of the instigators of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and one of the Communist leaders of the “Death to the Klan” rally that precipitated five deaths on Nov. 3, 1979, will most likely be present.
Johnson apparently likes to be on television, which seems to be one of the main reasons that after 25 years this heinous event in Greensboro’s past is being brought to the forefront.
This meeting would give the Greensboro City Council an opportunity to pass a resolution honoring Nelson Johnson. At just about every meeting, the City Council passes a resolution honoring someone for the good they have done for Greensboro. Johnson was one of the ring leaders of the Maoist Communist organization that was responsible for causing the shootings and for those shootings being in Greensboro. Now he is once again reminding the nation that there was a shootout in Greensboro in 1979, without noting that most of those involved in the shootout were not from Greensboro.
It would be an appropriate time for the City Council to recognize Johnson with a resolution noting how much harm he has done to the reputation of the city and dishonor he has brought to the people of the city.
There is no justification for the Klan-Nazi-Communist shootings, but there is also no good reason to remind everyone that 25 years ago there was a terrible shootout in Greensboro.
For years, when I traveled I would have to explain to people that although I grew up in Greensboro, I was not a member of the Klan, that I didn’t know any members of the Klan and that the Klan was not allowed to go into black neighborhoods and shoot people. Lately people have been asking questions about golf tournaments, college basketball and furniture. But this Truth and Reconciliation mess has an opportunity to remind everyone about the Klan-Nazi- Communist shootings.
Some of the facts about the Klan-Communist shootings seem to have been forgotten. It has become a big civil rights issue. The members of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission present the shootings as racially motivated. The truth is that four of the five people who were killed were white and that both sides had weapons. The cars of the Klan-Nazi group that came to the rally were attacked by the Communist Workers Party. But the Klan had bigger, better and more guns than the Communist Workers Party members. The result was that five members of the Communist Workers Party were killed. Four of them were white, and two of the four were doctors.
Because the incident happened in Morningside Homes, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission would have you believe that the shootings were racial and that the Klan came into an economically deprived black neighborhood and mowed people down. But although the rally was held by the Communists in a poor black neighborhood, most of those involved were not even from Greensboro. By holding the “Death to the Klan” rally in Morningside Homes, Johnson and the Communist Workers Party endangered the lives of many innocent people, including children.
Every story seems to mention that two all-white juries found the killers not guilty. What the stories usually don’t mention is that the Communist Workers Party members refused to participate in the trials. It is extremely hard to convict people when the witnesses won’t testify. Saying that the juries were all white makes it sound like the shootings were racial, but it was really a bunch of white racists shooting and killing mostly white Communists.
The rally was a “Death to the Klan” rally, but the issue was unionizing textile mills in the South. People in this area don’t get too excited about union rallies, but a “Death to the Klan” rally was enough to get people interested, particularly because the Communist Workers Party had attacked a Klan rally in China Grove earlier that summer.
The Communist Workers Party challenged the Klan to a confrontation because the Communists wanted the publicity to spread the word about their cause. What they failed to realize is that the Klan and Nazis took the “Death to Klan” rally seriously. This should not have been a surprise to the Maoist Communists of the Communist Workers Party because they were zealously dedicated to their own cause.
There was a lot of guilt on both sides, but it was not predominantly a racial issue, and to make it one now is wrong.
The City Council should politely listen to the Truth and Reconciliation people and then send them on their way. The best thing for Greensboro would be if the City Council voted unanimously not to recognize the group in any way, shape or form, but because it is being presented as a racial issue, it isn’t likely that will happen.
I don't think a bunch of white players are going to sit down with a bunch of black racists carrying guns.
"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.
I'm not sure how much longer American can survive the current climate we're in, but someone needs to tell these racist punks to take a hike.
That's funny because if a white man said that today, he'd be hung in the town square. By white metrosexual acadamians.
Ah, he's dead.
The first smart thing they've done in years, from what I can tell.
The Klan?
Read my posts up the thread about Greeensboro.
And as a reminder to those who don't know, the Communist Workers Party was formed AND still resides in Durham County.
I thought that deserved a little more attention, given the racist lies in this article.
Would you care to bet the ranch on the extent of her reportable Social Security earnings since she was of age to work and certify she did not collect public assistance during that time ?
Maybe the panthers will clash with the illegals who are supposed to "demonstrate" tomorrow.
About a month ago, I was watching television when an ad aired showing a white man on a public bus. At his command, various people on the bus perform for his amusement. When he comes to an ample-bottomed black girl, he tells her to "shake your junk." On cue, she jumps up, grabs the bus pole and pops her booty up and down to the beat. The tag line for the commercial, for Amp'd Mobile, says "Have the power to entertain yourself."
I was stunned. Watching a black woman being reduced to a tool for sexual gratification, much in the same way female slaves were used by their white masters for sexual pleasure, made me sick to my stomach.
It's an image I haven't been able to shake during the barrage of news coverage of the Duke lacrosse scandal, in which a black exotic dancer has accused white members of the Duke University lacrosse team of raping her.
Initially, I felt angry toward the white men in these incidents, but I soon realized that the real culprits are the performers and purveyors of hip-hop music, who have legitimized and popularized the degradation of black women.
Black women are the writhing wallpaper in the ubiquitous rap videos, gyrating and panting, decorating the borders of hip-hop like living blow-up dolls. We are the props in the thug fantasy, a symbol of sexual subjugation that shows the world that black men have arrived.
In 2000, they reported 89 rapes...of course, the fed's won't classify who performed them and who were the victums.
You don't seriously think it is only black women who are their only targets.
You think that this woman is a "queen"? I made no comment as to the womans "queen qualities"
I'm speculating what kind of "queen" he is referring to. It is your particular speculation which strikes me as at best sterotypical and at worst racist; labeling black women as Wefare Queens is uncalled for.
Take your self-righteous accusations elsewhere. Your hyper-reaction indicates that my comment has struck you in a sensitive location.

Very probable. Might also be interesting to see how Shabazz the nut-job managed to get a degree from Harvard. I'll bet this is one graduate Harvard wishes they could strike from their record. I'd also be interested to know if the this guy paid one thin dime towards his own education or if the tax payers covered it for him. He's an insult to white people and an embarrassment to blacks. It is unfortunate that the press allows him to skate by with these types of comments.
""As an institution we support free speech, and we will treat them like any other group,"
Has Right to Life ever been allowed to march on Duke's campus?
I did not write the article, I just posted it. And I belive the author is focusing on the black women in this article highlighting the subject at hand.
Why would I make such a bet or certification? I have no special knowledge of the woman's life other than that ...she works hard for the money.
