New Black
Panther Party
The New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense (NBPP)
is a U.S.-based black political
organization founded in Dallas,
Texas, in 1989.
Despite its name, NBPP is not an official successor of the Black Panther Party.[1] Members
of the original Black Panther Party have insisted that the newer party is
illegitimate and have firmly declared, "There is no new Black Panther
Party".[1]
The New Black Panther Party is currently led by Hashim Nzinga.[2] Malik Zulu Shabazz announced on an October 14, 2013 online
radio broadcast that he was stepping down and that Nzinga, then national chief
of staff, would replace him.[2] Chawn Kweli, who, initially, served as NBPP
national spokesman replaced Nzinga as national chief of staff. Still, the NBPP
upholds Khalid Abdul Muhammad as the de facto father
of the movement. When former Nation of Islam (NOI) minister Khalid Abdul Muhammad became the national chairman of the NBPP
from the late 1990s until his death in 2001, He, Shabazz, and many other,
breakaway members of the NOI followed minister Muhammad to the NBPP during this
period. Nzinga served as personal assistant to minister Muhammad.
In April 2010, Malik Zulu Shabazz appointed French Black leader
Stellio Capo Chichi as the representative of the movement in
France.[3] Capo
Chichi has been holding the position of head of the francophone branch
of NBPP.[4]
The Anti-Defamation League, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights consider
the New Black Panthers to be a hate group.
Controversies
Calling the NBPP extremist, critics have cited Muhammad's
Million Youth March in Harlem,
a youth equivalent of the Million Man March, in which the
protest against police
brutality included speakers calling for the extermination of white South Africans. The rally ended in scuffles with the New York Police Department as
Muhammad urged the crowd to attack officers who had attempted to confiscate
firearms. Chairs and bottles were thrown at the police, but only a few in the
clash suffered injuries. The Million Youth March was subsequently named an
annual event.
Alleged voter intimidation in Philadelphia
During the 2008 presidential election,
poll watchers found two New Black Panther militia members
shouting racial slurs outside a polling place in Philadelphia.
Bounty for George Zimmerman's capture
Another controversy occurred in 2012 after the NBPP offered
a $10,000 bounty for the "legal citizen's arrest"
of George Zimmerman,
the perpetrator of the shooting of Trayvon Martin. The group also
stated that it believed in "a life for a life".
The bounty offer was condemned and repudiated by Martin's family and others,
including the Rev.
Jesse Jackson.
The NBPP's organizer, Mikhail Mohammed, said that the United States Constitution granted the right to
a citizen's arrest, but he also said that "I don't obey the white man's
law, I don't follow the American law."
