Malik Shabazz, former chairman of the New Black Panther Party and president of Black Lawyers for Justice, called on President Trump to provide reparations for slavery or designate territory solely for African-Americans.
We must have reparations, full compensation for the theft of our land, the theft of our bodies, the theft of our people from Africa, the theft of our dignity; the desecration of our souls decade after decade after decade after decade. As I said, we dont want your food stamps. We dont want no government handout. We dont want to be trying to fix up some paperwork so I can get Social Security. We want our own. Donald Trump, you dont want us? You dont want to be around us? Hot dammit, I dont want to be around you, Shabazz said during a Save Our Sons: Stop the Killing and "Condemn Donald Trump" National Black Mens Convention march and rally outside of the White House on Saturday organized by the National Black Mens Movement.
We want land. We want our own. You dont like us, Mr. Trump? Break us off some of this territory. You dont like us, Mr. Trump? You dont want to be around us? Then hand over the state of Florida, he added. You dont want to be around us make a trade. Give me Georgia. Give me Alabama. Give me South Carolina.
Speakers at the National Black Mens Movement events included representatives from the New Black Panther Party and other organizations such as city-level Black Lives Matter groups and the National Action Network. Shabazz, who organized the rally, slammed Trump for calling an NFL player who kneels during the national anthem a son of a bitch.
If youre a son of a bitch, as Donald Trump says, who is your mama? Where I come from, you talk about my mama thats some fighting words. Where I come from, a man dont let nobody talk about his mama like that; hes ready to throw down. Where is your toughness, black man? Where is your hard-nosedness, black man? Where is your anger, black man? Where is your militancy, black man? Donald Trump says black men are sons of bitches and thereby he calls, pardon me, but I have to say it, he calls the black woman a bitch as well, he said to chants of Black Power from the crowd. The black woman is the mother of all living things on the planet Your women didnt take care of your babies. It was black women on the plantation that took care of your little nasty babies.
Shabazz continued, Donald Trump, the black man is not a son of a bitch. He is the original man. Hes the maker. Hes the owner. Hes the cream of the planet Earth, father of civilization and hes the God of the universe. He is your father, cracker. Donald Trump, Im your daddy. Im your daddy and youre a child thats out of line. This is a child in the White House throwing a temper tantrum every five minutes what kind of fool is this, unable to control his emotions?
John Cheeks, head of the United States Citizens Recovery Initiative Alliance, also called for reparations or recovery benefits for black Americans.
We need our unpaid due. We need it now. We cannot live in this country without money. How many can live without money? Raise your hand. I thought so. We have a president whos in the house that our ancestors built for free. We have a congressional seat who is at the Capitol that our ancestors built for free, he said.
We have the senators at that Capitol who enjoy the dome for free. It is time for all industries, all institutions, all associations and yes, we have public utility companies who have benefitted from slavery, such as your water company and your gas company, he added. How do you think water was purified? Who did it? How do you think the gas lines were buried in the street? Who do you think did it?
Cheeks said African-Americans should attach a note to their utility bill payments that reads, My ancestors are still looking for their unpaid wages.
Dr. Cornel West, who described himself as a revolutionary Christian, explained why he decided to join the rally and spend time with the New Black Panther Party.
This is very important because we need to be able to come together across political, ideological and religious lines. People ask me all the time, why is it that you spend time with the New Black Panther Party, with brother [chairman] Hashim [Nzinga]? West said at the rally. Why do you spend time with brother Malik Shabazz? I say, yall dont understand that when youre a love warrior you love black folk in all the different forms and all the different embodiment. Why? Because I am who I am because somebody loved me, beginning with my mama and my father.
The Southern Poverty Law Center designates the New Black Panther Party as a hate group, calling it a virulently racist and anti-Semitic organization whose leaders have encouraged violence against whites, Jews and law enforcement officers.
Arthur Reed, a community activist from Baton Rouge, urged the crowd not to sit back while police kill innocent African-Americans such as Alton Sterling. Sometimes the only thing that this man understands is hand-to-hand combat and we cannot continue to sit back and play the coward role and pray for a better day, dammit, Reed said at the rally. Were going to make it a better day because a better day has already come with what you see before you.
Hell, them Aryan Nations Boys was willing to surrender the whole south east, including Florida (except Latino homeland in the south part of the state) to American Blacks.
I’m not for segregation so I still think it would be a bad deal.
But, I would trade Texas for the Baja and some of Sinola since were talking land swaps.
“Im certain that was of great comfort for them to know they were only slaves for a decade or two.
So? That is irrelevant. Those people cited were convicts. That’s like crying about the convicts shipped to Australia.
“Im also certain the teenaged Irish girls ....”
Again, that isnt remotely what anyone is talking about. The children of indentured servants were not considered indentured servants.
The USA has spent over $15 TRILLION on welfare-food-housing-clothing-’education’-medical-legal-and other support for the blacks.
We have raised a FERAL ARMY that hates us.
The pushback is coming. They are NOT going to like it at all.
The GIMME DAT’s have been heard from——again & again & again.
Take cal instead
Again, that isnt remotely what anyone is talking about. The children of indentured servants were not considered indentured servants.
Correct. They were considered property and treated accordingly.
L
” My ancestors are still looking for their unpaid wages. “
It is called $4 trillion in welfare paid to blacks already.
“Correct. They were considered property and treated accordingly.”
Yeah, of their parents, just like kids today are.
Yeah, of their parents, just like kids today are.
Riiiiggghhhhht.
L
No.
Once they the way of Zimbabwe, Haiti, and Venezuela, they will demand money or become a terrorist state with borders with the US.
Yes, Liberia would be a good choice. If they were given Florida, we would have to build a wall around it, because I think they would be trying to invade the rest of us.
You don’t really think that what I posted is any kind
of an endorsement of that ridiculous idea, do you? The
truth be known, many of the “victims” would rather have
the issue to whine about in perpetuity than “forty acres
and a mule”.
The leaders want the issue in perpetuity so they have a carrot to lead their followers around with.
The Followers just want “free stuff.”
It isn’t just black leadership. Look at the Swamp RINOs for the GOP-E treat us.
Ha ha ha ha. The worst part about this whole debate is, that even in Mass. and most of New England, there are a lot of “normal folks”. Unfortunately, they are outnumbered and outspent by the wealthy, know-it-alls, that run those places.
But, you do make a great point.
Neither is the modern day sex slave who has been kidnapped and is now imprisoned in a brothel, and may die there if not rescued or able to escape. It's still slavery. If you are an adult working for no renumeration and are unable to quit, you're a slave.
President Trump never said that.
If Malik Shabazz hates America, then leave it.
Why have Liberia when you can have Florida ? Gotta aim high.
They just need to kick a $100 donation over to Morris Dees and “dey be coo.”
