This is the real face of racism… former New Black Panther Party chairman Malik Zulu Shabazz says:
“Black power by any means”
He calls for an “uprising.” He calls to “change the order.” He calls for people to rise up and represent the “spirit of Denmark Vesey”… a slave in 1822 who planned to murder all the slave masters and their families. And then he calls for them to “complete what Denmark didn’t finish.” Is he calling for people to be murdered? He did say earlier “by any means.”
Listen for yourself and let me know what you think.

He says he’s there to “help.”
“Somebody have to come and fire up the field slaves.”
Who’s calling who slaves now?
He talks about Vesey “get(ting) us out of this condition.” Maybe he missed the memo, but slavery no longer exists here. It hasn’t for 150 years. So what “condition” is he referring to them still being in?
No matter what… this man is part of the problem… those who perpetuate hate. He called the slain “Charleston 9” part of the problem for aligning with “the enemy.” He says no forgiveness. Without forgiveness, how do we move forward? Do all descendants of slave owners have to be murdered in order for things to be made right? What’s it going to take?
The past cannot be undone. It’s the past. How about we move forward with the future in this land of opportunity? It’s not too late.
UPDATE: Here’s the followup interview with Shabazz “clarifying” his comments were not to kill anyone. You can listen and decide.
