One day after Barack Obama delivered a speech calling for improved race relations in America, the blogosphere was buzzing Wednesday about whether his campaign planned to remove an endorsement by the New Black Panther Party from his Web site.
The New Black Panthers, who inherited their name from the Black Panther Party of the 1960s, has a page on the Obama campaign’s public forums that says it is backing Obama because he “represents ‘positive change’ for all of America. Obama will stir the ‘Melting Pot’ into a better ‘Molten America,’” the group says.
The NBPP, which has been led since 2001 by Malik Zulu Shabbazz, is identified by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a tolerance education organization, as an extremist hate group. The Anti-Defamation League calls NBPP “the largest organized anti-Semitic black militant group in America. … Under Shabazz, the group continues to organize demonstrations across the country that blend inflammatory bigotry with calls for black empowerment and civil rights.”
The NBPP lists on its Web site a 10-point plan for full employment for black Americans as well as housing, education, free health care and an end to the death penalty.

BACK to the TOP Indeed!
Obama: “I dare you to knock these racists off my shoulder, I dare you!”
Hmmmm. I wonder why the NBPP would want the death penalty abolished?
isn’t zero special...
any links to the hussien page at his site...
How can a man who hates white people improve race relations?
The Obama campaign has turned into Rod Serling’s version of an Amos ‘n Andy episode, where the Kingfish gets caught in his scheme to become president. I suppose he’ll be calling Agonquin J. Calhoun to bail him out before Sapphire finds out.
Heres the NBPP
Would be nice. I’m trying to look for it, but I can’t find it.
The bow ties are a nice touch.
lol.
Now if we could just get someone good enough to photo shop a picture of Obama, with a miniaturized “Rev”. Wright on one shoulder whispering into Obama’s ear, and a picture of Farrakan and the New Panthers on the other whispering into his other ear.:)
yeh- I had no luck either....that site is awful...
“Maybe Mr. Obama has not heard the ‘New Black Panthers’ say anything untoward,” wrote Steve Gilbert of Sweetness-Light.com, playing on earlier claims by Obama about his pastor. “Or perhaps he thinks we need to understand where they are coming from.”
