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.”
The new carpetbaggers would have the acres and a mule recipients drained dry in 90 days.
Republican president Lincoln proposed reparations for freed slaves. Democrats opposed it.
And the evil donkey believes he will slip reparations past us. Ha ha ha ha ash holes like this will kill them in November. They will HAVE to answer question after question about their position on reparations. If they say NO they lose the craziest of crazies they need to have any chance. If they say YES we swamp them at the polls and they get buried with their crazies.
Make no mistake on this: These people mean to destroy you. They mean to kill you. They mean to erase you and everything you stand for and everything you love from the face of the Earth.
They are to you as the "palestinians" are to Israel.
You’d have anaravy and a WALL around north Florida would be mandatory
It is not true that assimilation failed. Liberals, democrats and other Marxists have been fighting against assimilation for 150 years. The current system is their gravy train.
Drain the swamp.
Yeah, I know.
Still, they should be kicked out of the country for sedition.
If that would apply, LOL. Dunno.
One must always deduct the cost of freedom from any reperations and when that is done, the formerly enslaved must pay the balance...
Yeah, it’s so bad here but they haven’t the sense or courage to emigrate
Just G O
I think all of us civilians put in Japanese Prison Camps during WW II anywhere in the world need reparations, too. We all have suffered physical ailments and mental problems consequent to that experience, loss of property, and many lost family members. I think all Jews who spent their WW II experience in Axis POW camps need compensation as much as we who spent that time, years of time, in the Japanese camps.
I think there may have been some compensation for the Jewish people, but I never have even received an apology for the years my family and I and all the others spent eating lugou and getting thinner and thinner. The older women with severe osteoporosis have not received help ...and the list goes on.
Meanwhile very few Americans (or their offspring) who stayed stateside during that time even realize today the Japanese had POW camps for civilians.
And don’t think for a moment a similar scenario can’t be played out here in the USA. Easily and just as silently.
You sent me a link to a book cover.
No, genius, you keep trying to push indentured servatude, which is NOT chattle slavery, as being “white slavery”, which it is not.
Now go do an actual search, and find a link to an actual mainstream source.
You likely did, and that is why this is the only thing you linked to.
Is he asking to be put on a “Plantation Reservation”?????
His statements seem to indicate he’s partial to the south.
Fine. Waiting for someone to lead that movement. Is it you?
I would welcome an open fight. I don’t see it happening yet, though. What would be the tipping point?
“While it is true that indentured servants only served a limited term (3 to 7, or more, years)”
Yeah, that’s why it isn’t slavery.
These people were not sold, nor was it hereditary, and these people had legal rights.
People that try to equate this to chattle slavery just sound like idiots.
For the 65-percenters maybe some reflection on their single parents is in order as a community exercise in humility.
Lincoln, second inaugural:
“Yet, if God wills that it [the war] continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman’s two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said “the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.”
300,000 dead Union soldiers.
nearly as many confederate men
the South destroyed (it was 25 years before the agriculture and livestock recovered),
suggests that the slavery debt was paid, on all counts.
“1. No there was no white slavery.”
Yes, there was. Ask the Irish.

So if my ancestors came from England as an indentured servant what say you.
Liberia
Forgot: The black people who have done well within the “white ghettos” of their lives and minds seem to have done exceptionally well. I love it that they have. They took the yoke of servitude, cast it asunder and thrived. Now I think it is time for them to stand up to the ideas they have been inexorably bowed to the yoke of white domination. I really think it is time for them to acknowledge many many blacks are placing false blame for their miserable circumstances and maybe help to “fix”.
I notice no Asian people and no northern European people have blamed others, like some black leaders, as the put-down and worn out people from Asia and northern Europe worked their ways out of servitude to great respect within all populations in this country.
And as blacks make up 13% of the total population of this country, I doubt it would be too difficult to work within the population to fix it if the urge was there.
Fix it rather than encourage race wars is a much better idea...otherwise make sure they get to Africs where they will be much appreciated I am sure.
