Anderson Cooper And New Black Panther Leader Clash Over Group Meddling In Trayvon Martin Case
Mediaite ^ | March 26, 2012 | Frances Martel

...Minister Mikhail Muhammad spoke to Anderson Cooper today to try to explain just what his group was doing. In the process, he “indicted” Zimmerman with “1st degree murder” and accused Cooper of not “caring about the Martin family.”

“He committed murder, he committed a hate crime,” Muhammad told Cooper, explaining, “we decided to take it upon ourselves and coalition with other groups, with other black people who have had enough.” Cooper tried to explain two key faults in their plan: that Zimmerman hadn’t been charged with anything, and “Trayvon’s parents don’t want you.” Neither seemed to matter. “We are military, we are here to support Trayvon’s family,” Muhammad argued, bizarrely, later adding they weren’t really doing this for Trayvon Martin– “they have killed millions of black men and women so not only are we calling for justice for Trayvon.”

“You tell our justice department and Eric Holder and our President Obama to get off up their ass and do the work and the rest is done!” Muhammad argued, then trying to convince Cooper that “we can make a citizen’s arrest when the government will not do their job according to the Constitution.” “Factually… that doesn’t make any sense,” Cooper replied, but Muhammad wasn’t having it. “I don’t obey the white man’s law,” he replied, adding, “you don’t care about Trayvon’s family.”

“You have no idea what’s in my heart or my mind, or what I’ve been reporting,” Cooper replied politely, and asking him to explain why the Southern Poverty Law Center “says you’re a hate group.” The answer? “The white man cannot call anybody anti-Semitic, he is not Semitic, he is a racist, a murderer…” It was that kind of interview.

Some law authority needs to subpoena those fundraising efforts and name the donors. If they really have that much money put down, then every donor is culpable and should be charged. If any of it came from Big Hollywood or Big Sports, hell to pay.

By putting a ten thousand dollar bounty of Zimmerman’s head they are conspiring to commit murder, right?

The actual term would be "Solicitation to commit Murder", the same as hiring a professional assassin, or as the old-line Mob would put it "taking out a contract"...

I think that in the case of the Oklahoma woman (probably a “typical white woman” like Obama’s grandmother), she was raped and killed by one individual (not by a group). I could be wrong. Still a horrible crime and one that would be labeled a hate crime if the races were reversed.

this surprised me I confess...conventional wisdom is they victimize each other mostly...not true

the reality is this by a small margin.."Blacks commit more violent crimes against whites than against blacks"

The first blacks in the British mainland colonies arrived in 1619, the year before the Pilgrims arrived in New England. A few years later when Powhatan's brother organized an attempt to exterminate the white colonists in Virginia, the Indians didn't try to kill the blacks.

Slavery involving Africans was in full operation in the Spanish colonies for over 100 years before Jamestown was founded--the working conditions were often horrendous and the life expectancy of slaves very short (it was cheaper to buy fresh arrivals than to spare the existing slaves so they would live longer).

During the same period Africans were enslaving Africans and wars were being waged to capture people who could be sold to the European slave traders. Probably a far higher number of Africans died in Africa as a result than have died at the hands of white people in the United States since 1619. But that doesn't count just like black-on-black murders are not newsworthy.

I think you are wrong. I believe the police are looking for more suspects.

“Tulsa Police are looking for two vehicles, one driven by the attackers and one belonging to the victims. Police say the attackers also stole items from inside the home.”

Look up LBJ’s quote (off record of course) about signing the Civil Rights Act.

I assume you are talking about the following quote:

'I'll have those n*ggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years."

I am glad you brought that up. I thought he said "100 years".

LBJ had a longer time frame in mind.

Johnson was a shrewd and ruthless politician. The master of " making the deal". He was a Political Animal (Beast is a better discripton).

In defense of Johnson, I don't think his intentions were to destroy the country.

“I always considered the SPLC to be part of the enemies camp.”

We’ve met the enemy and it’s them...a bad paraphrase but what the heck.
