Leader of the New Black Panther Party on Obama: Like it or not he’s from Kenya and he’s a Mau Mau

The current chairman or leader of the New Black Panther Party (est.  1989 and not to be confused with the original Black Panther Party) is a man named Hashim Nzinga.

On Wednesday (August 13th 2014)  Hashim Nzinga was recorded, on video, making the following remarks regarding Obama, …like it or not he’s from Kenya and he’s a Mau Mau.

It should be noted that during the 2008 presidential election (Obama vs McCain), poll watchers found two New Black Panther Party militia members shouting racial slurs outside a polling place in Philadelphia on election day.

Two members of the New Black Panther Party, King Samir Shabazz and Jerry Jackson, stood in front of the entrance to the polling station in uniforms that have been described as military or paramilitary. King Shabazz carried a police-style billy club or nightstick baton, and is reported to have pointed it at voters while both men shouted racial slurs, including phrases such as “white devil” and “you’re about to be ruled by the black man, cracker.“

The US Department of Justice became aware of the incident on election day and started an inquiry. Under the Bush administration, a criminal investigation into the incident was started, but later dropped.

However, in January 2009 less than two weeks before the Bush administration left office the civil rights division of the US Department of Justice filed a civil suit under the voting rights act against the four (4) New Black Panther Party four defendants: King Samir Shabazz, Jerry Jackson, Malik Zulu Shabazz and the New Black Panther Party itself. The civil action accused them of using uniforms, racial insults and a weapon to intimidate voters and those who were there to assist them.

The case remained open when the Obama administration took office a few weeks later.

In April 2009, the civil rights division of the US Department of Justice seemed to win the civil case by default because the New Black Panther Party defendants failed to show up in court.

However, the following month a longtime Justice official, Loretta King (who was then the acting head of the civil rights division) decided to reduce the scope of the case.  The US Department of Justice dropped the charges against the New Black Panther Party, its chairman and the man who was not carrying a club.

The US Department of Justice pressed forward with the lawsuit against the man with the club, obtaining an injunction that forbids him from carrying a weapon near an open polling place in Philadelphia through the year 2012.
