Baltimore Protest Organizer Spouts Inflammatory Rhetoric On NBPP Radio

Malik Zulu Shabazz, the racist and anti-Semitic for*mer leader of the New Black Pan*ther Party (NBPP), who has taken credit for orga*niz*ing protests in Bal*ti*more in the after*math of Fred*die Gray’s death, went on the NBPP’s Black Power Radio ear*lier this week to express his inflam*ma*tory views.

While Shabazz has attempted to por*tray him*self as a civil rights leader in Bal*ti*more, he openly expressed his big*otry and praised the actions of riot*ers in Monday’s broad*cast of Black Power Radio.

Dur*ing this broad*cast, Shabazz praised pro*tes*tors “espe*cially the youth, who rose up like the Pales*tini*ans did, rose up against the police state, rose up against occu*pa*tion, rose up and caused a rebel*lion in the streets.”

In response to claims that riot*ers are dam*ag*ing their own com*mu*nity, Shabazz asked, “What do you mean our com*mu*nity? How much of it did we own? Forty-four of the stores that were burned down in Bal*ti*more were owned by out*siders or Kore*ans. We didn’t own those stores.”

Shabazz also jus*ti*fied the burn*ing down of a CVS claim*ing that such stores are “tak*ing all our money…what really has CVS done for our com*mu*nity? They gave out a few jobs and took a whole bunch of money from us.”

While dis*cussing those who do not agree with his tac*tics, Shabazz stated, “There are a lot of haters out there against Attor*ney Shabazz [and] the New Black Pan*ther Party. And we’re gonna stop all this god*damn talk*ing and raise up an army and deal with you motherf—ers.”

By appear*ing on Black Power Radio, Shabazz, who stepped down from his lead*er*ship role with the Pan*thers in 2013, reaf*firmed his con*tin*ued involve*ment with the NBPP, the largest orga*nized anti-Semitic and racist Black mil*i*tant group in America.

In the same broad*cast, Hashim Nzinga, the cur*rent leader of the NBPP, injected anti-Semitism into the dis*cus*sion, employ*ing a com*mon trope of his: that a sup*pos*edly Jewish-controlled media nefar*i*ously por*trays Black peo*ple in a neg*a*tive light. “And with your Jew*ish and your mostly meno*rah, I mean major*ity, uh, minority-owned TV sta*tions, going to paint a pic*ture like something’s wrong with us,” Nzinga stated.

Nzinga also offered inflam*ma*tory lan*guage describ*ing a “geno*cide” tak*ing place in Amer*ica. “That’s all in you, white man, is to fight and kill. And when you can’t fight or kill, you go hunt…You’ve got to be killing some*thing. And right now, it’s killing the Black man off.” He added, “We ain’t gonna let you do it no more.”

The NBPP com*monly takes on racially-charged issues under the guise of cham*pi*oning civil rights as they also did in the after*math of the shoot*ing of Michael Brown in Fer*gu*son and Trayvon Mar*tin. How*ever, the group’s demon*stra*tions, con*fer*ences, and other events often blend inflam*ma*tory big*otry with calls for vio*lence, tar*nish*ing its efforts to pro*mote Black pride and consciousness.
