New Black Panther Party
The New Black Panther Party (NBPP) is a U.S.-based black nationalist organization founded in Dallas, Texas, in 1989.
History
Despite its name, the NBPP is not an official, albeit unofficial, successor to the Black Panther Party. Members of the original Black Panther Party have insisted that the newer party is not legitimate and "there is no new Black Panther Party". The party is not influenced by Marxism, unlike the "old" Black Panther Party.
There are influences from the Nation of Islam. Similarities include stated black separatism and anti-White views. It is also one of the few pro-black organizations that politically correct sources correctly label as black supremacist and "hate group", possibly related to stated anti-Semitic views.
As of 2009, the NBPP claimed a few thousand members organized in 45 chapters, while others estimates are much smaller, no more than 100. There is also a splinter group named the "New Black Panther Party for Self Defence" or "NBPP SD" under Nzinga who was refused leadership in 2013 after Paris Lewis (Malik Zulu Shabazz)[1] quit.
Quotes
- Hashim Nzinga, Chief of Staff, is a longtime member of the NBPP and Malik Shabazz's deputy [...] Nzinga's bigotry is not limited to Jews or supporters of Israel. Referring to two white men charged with the murder of an African-American man in Texas in 2009, Nzinga called on Attorney General Eric Holder in August 2009 to "prosecute these white beasts" and "get down here to Paris, Texas, and give these white boys some Texas justice." During a December 2005 appearance on FOX's Hannity & Colmes, he expressed agreement with a statement by Kamau Kambon, a professor at North Carolina State University, calling for the extermination of white people.[2]
