A day after Obama gave the over-rated speech on bringing the country together, his campaign continues to leave an endorsement from the New Black Panther Party up on his site.
The New Black Panthers, who inherited their name from the Black Panther Party of the 1960s, has a page on the Obama campaign’s public forums that says it is backing Obama because he “represents ‘positive change’ for all of America. Obama will stir the ‘Melting Pot’ into a better ‘Molten America,’” the group says.
A real “new politics” group, the New Black Panthers are. Some of their (actual) platform:
We believe that since the white man has kept us deaf, dumb and blind, and used every “dirty trick” in the book to stand in the way of our freedom and independence, that we should be gainfully employed until such time we can employ and provide for ourselves.
We believe further in: POWER IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE! WEALTH IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE! ARMS IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE!
Blame whitey. Check.
We want tax exemption and an end to robbery of THE BLACK NATION by the CAPITALIST. We want an end to the capitalistic domination of Africa in all of its forms: imperialism, criminal settler colonialism, neo-colonialism, racism, sexism, zionism, Apartheid and artificial borders.
We believe that this wicked racist government has robbed us, and now we are demanding the overdue debt of reparations.
Call the country racist and imperialist, demand reparations. Check.
We believe since the white landlords will not give decent housing and quality health care to our Black Community, the he housing, the land, the social, political and economic institutions should be made into independent UUAMAA “New African Communal/Cooperatives” so that our community, with government reparations and aid (until we can do for ourselves) can build and make drug free, decent housing with health facilities for our people.
Blame whitey again. Check.
We want education for our people that exposes the true nature of this devilish and decadent American society.
Call American society evil. Check.
We want all Black Men and Black Women to be exempt from military service.We believe that Black People should not be forced to fight in the military service to defend a racist government that holds us captive and does not protect us. We will not fight and kill other people of color in the world who, like Black People, are being victimized by the white racist government of America.
Call America racist that kills innocent people around the world. Check.
What is this, a Rev. Jerry Wright sermon?
The group Obama’s picked up the endorsement from also wants all Black people freed from jails and released to the authorities of the “Black Nation”, that Black communities should have their own little government, and blames America for just about every issue today.
And yet the campaign finds no reason to remove their endorsement from its website.
Update: Nice Deb has more.
