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 don’t want your food stamps. We don’t want no government handout. We don’t want to be trying to fix up some paperwork so I can get Social Security. We want our own. Donald Trump, you don’t want us? You don’t want to be around us? Hot dammit, I don’t want to be around you,” Shabazz said during a “Save Our Sons: Stop the Killing” and "Condemn Donald Trump" National Black Men’s Convention march and rally outside of the White House on Saturday organized by the National Black Men’s Movement.
“We want land. We want our own. You don’t like us, Mr. Trump? Break us off some of this territory. You don’t like us, Mr. Trump? You don’t want to be around us? Then hand over the state of Florida,” he added. “You don’t want to be around us – make a trade. Give me Georgia. Give me Alabama. Give me South Carolina.”
Speakers at the National Black Men’s 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 you’re a son of a bitch, as Donald Trump says, who is your mama? Where I come from, you talk about my mama that’s some fighting words. Where I come from, a man don’t let nobody talk about his mama like that; he’s 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 didn’t 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. He’s the maker. He’s the owner. He’s the cream of the planet Earth, father of civilization and he’s the God of the universe. He is your father, cracker. Donald Trump, I’m your daddy. I’m your daddy and you’re a child that’s 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 who’s 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, ya’ll don’t understand that when you’re 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. “We’re going to make it a better day because a better day has already come with what you see before you.”
Whatever they demand would never be enough. If they got $10 million they’d complain someone else has $20 million. They wouldn’t take care of their land and parcels then complain they got ripped because someone else’s looks better.
Victimhood and complaining IS their life and livelihood.
Just gimme Florida, lol.
——Then hand over the state of Florida,”-——
I’m a floridian, and by all means give them the state including south Florida. The Cubans and Puerto Ricans will get along with them fabulously. /S
Giving them land? Is that going work like South Africa or Zimbabwe?
Too lazy to work for something, these cretins want hand-outs all the time. But even an imbecile would know that a president can’t give states away, so this is just another bid for attention by someone who deserves none.
Is he asking to be put on a "Plantation Reservation"?????
Why aren’t U.S. blacks demanding reparations from the slave traders who sold them: black African neighbors and Arabs. Of course, the black African neighbors have no money for paying reparations. However, oil-rich Arabs have lots of money for paying reparations.
And how about the Africans that the Arabs are enslaving today? U.S. big-mouth blacks are not worried about them?
Malik Shabazz needs t be ridiculed and pressed to disappear or alternatively to perpetrate the violence he represents.
If he chooses violence, then he will be put into the same political graveyards as Hewy Newton and all the rest of these backward field hands who have never left the plantation mentality of many generations ago, much to his detriment and those like him. He has refused to become an American and earn his own prosperity like so many other people of color have done.Instead he is a racists, a race mongering extortionist.
Malik Shabazz is nothing but a liberal fascist black power nationalist socialist destined for the political oblivion he and his ilk deserve. He has a choice, become American and make it great again,o rGTFO .
I can help you with that. ;-D
Instead if saying, ‘Mr. Trump, thank you for creating tons of jobs for blacks”, they’re saying, “Give us free sh!t”. Bottom line: They don’t want jobs. Jobs = work. Work is haaarrd.
If I were Trump, I would designate Nigeria.
Oh hell. Give them that stip of California from LA to Frisco, around 50 miles wide. Stipulate that it can no longer be part of America.
It was a joke post. They want a warm, tropical climate [the furthest end of FL actually is tropical] so give them an arctic chill. They wouldn’t take it in a hundred years.
We already did that! We bought you an entire country of your own, it’s called Liberia and I will happily buy you a one way ticket.
The class of GIMMEDAT. Pure welfare mentality.
No they did not.
Because I actually looked this up, because it became a meme used by gullible people that obviously never picked up a history book and are repeating something picked up on a fringe blog.
The only thing you did was replace the often used Irish aspect that is emphasized with just “white”.
While it is true that indentured servants only served a limited term (3 to 7, or more, years), they were not free during that term. The first Africans brought to the mainland English colonies came as indentured servants. It was only after about a generation that the Negro's term was extended to life, and chattel slavery began (Virginia was the first colony in what is now the US to do so, I believe.) By that time there were already free Blacks with white indentured servants. Not many, to be sure, but some.
On the other hand, what of all the mulatto, quadroon, and octaroon, slaves? Mulatto's are just as ‘white’ as they are ‘black,’ have just as many European ancestors as African, and quadroons and so on have more Caucasian than Negro DNA. Does not that make them white slaves?
Solely for Africans . . . .Kenya
Your Moses will lead you to your homeland
Start packing . . .
You would turn Florida into Haiti
Better option is Just Leave.
