Black Panther Leader Defends Group in Voter Intimidation Uproar (plus videos)
Fox News ^ | July 9, 2010 | Staff/Megyn Kelly

Posted on 07/09/2010 1:46:58 PM PDT by jazusamo

The chairman of the New Black Panther Party, in an interview Friday with Fox News, defended his group amid an uproar over a voter intimidation case dropped by the Obama administration, a move that an ex- Justice Department official alleges was for racial reasons.

Malik Zulu Shabazz distanced himself from the actions of Minister King Samir Shabazz, seen in an amateur video from November 2008 brandished a billy club at a Philadelphia polling station, an incident that led to charges of coercion, threats and intimidation. The Black Panther chairman told Fox News' Megyn Kelly that the actions caught on video "were outside of organizational policy."

"We still do not condone the carrying of nightsticks at polling places and we have been consistent on that since Day One," he said. "Any individual member that violates organizational policy cannot be attributed to the organization any more than any individual member of the Catholic Church, one of their acts can be charged to the Vatican."

Malik Shabazz's comments come after J. Christian Adams, who quit the Justice Department last month over the handling of the case against the Black Panthers and its members, accused his former superiors of instructing attorneys in the civil rights division to ignore cases that involve black defendants and white victims.

Adams' allegations have led the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights to plan a new round of subpoenas and call for a separate federal probe.

Our racist hatred is okay because we were once slaves.

Have a nice day. :)

Malik Zulu Shabazz has been taking back pedaling lessons from John f’in sKerry (who, believe it or not, served in Viet Nam) and Juan McAmensty McCain.

These guys were always racist and Obama and Holder know it! The important thing this illustrates is the race payback policy played by this administration.

Notice how Press Secretary Gibbs pretended he hadn't heard about the incident. MSM isn't covering this either and they both hope the publicity will go away. It won't.

Good one! :-)

Half the time this Shabazz sounds illiterate, he has a hard time getting the words out of his mouth and he’s supposedly an attorney.

Good interview.

Megyn did an excellent job of putting Malik on the defensive as to what group is stirring up racial divisions in America(New black panthers).

Yep...Obama, Holder and Gibbs have tried to ignore this hoping it would go away but it’s not.

Agreed, Megyn was great, he’s not even close to her intelligence.

Thanks, that’s the “real” NBPP and is a far cry from what Shabazz was trying to make it out to be.

So according to him, the Catholic Church should not be liable for the actions of errant priests? So all of the people suing the church should not be suing the church? Minister Shabazz said so.

"Half the time this Shabazz sounds illiterate, he has a hard time getting the words out of his mouth and he’s supposedly an attorney."

Some organization awarded Shabazz the "Young Attorney of the Year" in 1998 or 99. I am not impressed.

Based on those photos every one of these NBBP members need to go to a CCW class and learn how to handle a weapon safely

Of course, we can only hope one of them accidentally trips when holding his weapon with the finger on the trigger and blow a nice size hole in their empty heads !!!
