I have informed fellow citizens of political parties, their platforms, their

background, and this article will be about the New Black Panther
Party whose platform, planks and racism hasn’t changed much from the
‘old’ Black Panther organization, as well as a plea to stop racism and
instead promote unity through education and effort in the memory of a
man who believed in unified brotherhood.

First some background which takes us back into time …

January 18th is a Rev. Martin Luther King Day, a day set aside by the
government to commemorate the life of the reformer by peaceful means,
a major force in the civil rights movement of African Americans, and an
ordained Christian minister. Martin Luther King was the hero of the
civil rights movement whose results we see today, not because of his
race or his skin pigmentation, but because of his message of peace
between citizens of the United States.
But not all movements were peaceful.

Terms began to surface like Black Power and organizations like

the Black Panthers soon became noticed and infamous. It was the
turbulent 1960s.
The Black Power movement actually began in the 1950s, but wasn’t
publicly known much until the 1960s. It was more of a statement or icon
rather than a real movement, but it led to organizations like the Black
Panthers. While Martin Luther King and groups like the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and
the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) worked towards
desegregation and equality in an effort of Negro and Caucasians working
together to reduce and hopefully end racial discrimination and
stereotyping. The SCLC was headed by Rev. M.L. King Jr., and made an
impression on many of all racial-ethnic backgrounds in his insistence of
a nonviolent change in the way Americans viewed each other. His
famous I Have a Dream speech is partly transcripted here:
!"

We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and
discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into
physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights
of meeting physical force with soul force. The marvelous new militancy
which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust
of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by
their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied
up with our destiny. They have come to realize that their freedom is
inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone. … Go back
to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back
to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of
our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will
be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair. say to you
today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and
tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the
American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up
and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be
self-evident: that all men are created equal." I have a dream that one
day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of
former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of
brotherhood. … I have a dream that my four little children will one day
live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin
but by the content of their character. … I have a dream that one day,
down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his
lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; one day
right there in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be able to
join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and
brothers. … This will be the day when all of God's children will be able
to sing with a new meaning, "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of
liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's
pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring." … And when this
happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from
every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we
will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men
and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be
able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual,
"Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last
Reverend King never lived to see that dream fulfilled, where African
Americans became part of the workings of government, holding public
office, speaking for constitutionalism, a growing population of middle-
class Americans, lawyers, successful businessmen, professors,
economists, scientists, diplomats, and candidates for the office of the
President of the United States, like Alan Keyes.
Rev. King never lived to see intellectual journalists and economists
writing and speaking words of truth, warnings of what is happening
within our government, hailing the roots of our freedom and liberties
that he so eloquently mentioned in his famous Washington, DC speech.
He talked of peace and he talked of brotherhood – not the Brothers of
the Hood, but a trodden ethnic people who refused to be second-class
citizens any longer. Reverend King knew that education was the key to
success in all a person does in life, and knowledge was the key to fight
against ignorance and bias. True equality could not be reached by
creating an ideology that promoted inequality, like Black Power and
those African Americans who did not want equality but segregated with
their own rules and their participation in society be reflected upon the
skin rather than their character or their qualifications to pursue their
choice of education and occupation. Social parasites of corruption
like Jesse Jackson (and son), Barack H. Obama, and Al Sharpton,
who had forgotten their claimed mentor’s words and ideologies
described in his historic speech that relayed to all his dream, a dream
that all could share and realize.
Blind hatred or revenge for wrongs against his ethnic people was not
part of Martin Luther King’s ideology, he knew that many out of the
population never experienced slavery or knew anyone who did, but there
was still bias and bigotry which could only be turned to unification of all
people of the United States through peaceful discussion, fellowship and
understanding of each other. Unification, not diversity and
multiculturalism was his message. Unification that made America
strong and detered the threat of tyranny and foreign influences against
the icon nation of freedom and liberty is what should be.
But some did not want to listen to Reverend King’s message. Some
wanted revenge against a populace who never owned slaves or knew
anybody that did. Instead of peaceful methods they wanted a physical
revolution. Their agenda had no room for equality, but an agenda based
on the ideology of the concept that they were owed something by people
who didn’t participate in bigotry and racial hatred. They were doing
what had been done to them, stereotyping and exalting their race above
others, despite not being the only ethnic group in America who had
suffered transgressions in the history of the United States.
Thus in this atmosphere, especially after the tragic death of Reverend
M.L. King, Jr., felled by an assassins bullet, the story begins for
the Black Movement – a movement not for equality, but a retribution
for all the suffering since the first slave was brought to America before it
had become a sovereign nation. Retribution against a people who had no
part in such racial activities and institutions.
Malcolm X, who sometimes seems more of a hero to the African
American than MLK and the Nation of Islam were part of the Black
Power movement.
It was Stokely Carmichael, head of the Student Nonviolent
Coordinating Committee (SNCC) who increased the popularity of
the Black Power term in 1966. Carmichael transformed the SNCC into
an activist organization that began as multiracial, but turned into an all-
black organization. Two members joined in 1966, Huey
Newton and Bobby Seale and the organization was transformed into
the Black Panther Party for Self Defense (BPP), initially to keep an eye
on police racial violence. By the late 1960s, the Black Power movement
had left a dark stain of violence upon the American society.
In the late 1990s, the New Black Panther Party for Self Defense was
formed, derived from the original radical black nationalist group whose
power ended in the 1970s. The former leader or founder was Khallid
Muhammed died in 2001 and was replaced by Malik Zulu Shabazz,
an attorney in Washington, DC. Despite Shubazz being an educated
lawyer, the organization still has the agenda to inflame bigotry with
black empowerment diatribe and continued civil rights demonstrations
despite the fact that the civil rights laws of the nation has been in place
since the 1960s. As the original organization, the militant black
nationalist concept remains with Marxism as their political platform.

In 1990, the Black Panther Militia regained its strength, enlisting street
gangs into the militia and providing them with weapons training. Their
ideology is much like the militia organizations, like Aryan Nation,
whose agenda is racial supremacy – only on the opposite side of the
racial fence. Michael McGee is the prime figure in this racial militia,
formerly a Milwaukee alderman, forming the initial militia there and
another chapter in 1992 in Indianopolis. There is also a group in Dallas,
inspired by McGee, and led by Aaron Michaels who would become the
founding chapter of the NBPP. The Anti-Defamation League site
provides more detail in the Black and White Power movements.
The Nation of Islam, affiliated with all of this, is also part of what Erica
at Jefferson’s Rebels discusses about the underground movements of
Islamic Fascists and concern about our government keeping a watchful
eye on the wrong organizations, and not the ones who represent a threat
to subversive activities and the growth of racism instead of the
repression of racism.
So, on the day commemorating Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., should not
his dream of peaceful coexistence and strength through unity be posted
everywhere to remind bigots that the road to peace between peoples is
not the sword, but the pen and mutual understanding and respect.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation
where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the
content of their character
Am I, a Caucasian, not being judged by my character but the
pigmentation of my skin? Or because the 44th President of the United
States is a Negro I cannot speak out against his socialism and
unconstitutional ideology?
Do the radicals not see the reason for success in life for anyone is not
without effort, education, and true equality?
Do they not see that the African American role models should
be Martin Luther King, Thomas Sowell, Clarence
Thomas, Thurgood Marshall, Walter E. Williams, Alan
Keyes, Star Parker and Larry Elder; and not Malcolm X, Louis
Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson, and leadership of such organizations as
the NBPP or street gang leadership?
Youth of America must realize that success can only be attained from
education, attaining knowledge (which is the true power), and hard
work – whether they live in urban areas or rural.
The flames of racism must be extinguished on both sides of the racial
fence, for the reformation of our government from its state now back to
a Jeffersonian republic can only be obtained by a united American
society.

Don’t let the smooth talkers, the political parasites, and those who use
racism as a means to blackmail be the ones who decide your future – let
the wisdom from classic education, that which the Founders of this
nation had the privilege to have, be our youth’s guide towards making
the world better and returning our nation back to the principles and
ideologies that made it great from the beginning.
Don’t fall prey to the Marxist scheme of divide and conquer – unity is
the only way to equality and the preservation of the US Constitution and
its Bill of Rights.
The only black and white we should refer to is the color of text and paper
and the keys on a keyboard.
