New Black Panthers Open Trenton Office (NJ)

Divine Allah sat on a red plastic chair inside a one-room efficiency apartment in Trenton, trying to explain the need for black militarism in one of New Jersey's poorest cities.

In a little more than a month since opening a Trenton office, Allah, the party's national youth leader, has met with street gangs, held food drives and traveled to the storm-torn Gulf Coast and clashed with police over alleged harassment.

Like its predecessor, the New Black Panthers are no new adversary to law enforcement. The original Oakland-formed Black Panther Party, which died out in the 1970s, rose to fame in the 1960s with armed, televised speeches claiming police brutality. But these are not your father's Panthers: The new generation black revolutionaries does not focus on Communist ideals.

"We deal with more African-centered programs," said Allah, who heads the Trenton office. He said the new party is concentrating its fight on combating homelessness, gang violence and a poor educational system within the black community.

An American flag even flies outside the new Panthers' Trenton office. That's out of respect for the group's landlord, a veteran who Allah says was the only one in the neighborhood willing to rent to them. "That's the one compromise we made because we saw the brother had a heart," he said.

A splinter group of the Nation of Islam, the new party made national headlines in 1998 when then party's founder, Khalid Muhammed, rallied an armed group of new Panthers to Jasper, Texas. The Panthers were prepared for a fight following the murder of James Byrd Jr., a black man killed when three white men dragged him from a truck, decapitating him.

The new organization has 41 chapters around the world, including London and Germany. In New Jersey, the party has its state headquarters in Newark and the new Trenton office.

Allah acknowledges the party's new brand of militarism, which includes anti-Semitic rhetoric and demands that public school systems "stop teaching white supremacy to black children," has the caused it to be denounced as a racist group.

The Southern Poverty Law Center lists the new Panthers as a hate group, placing it in the same category with the Ku Klux Klan. Zachary Chester, president of the NAACP's Trenton chapter, said his organization does not support the group.

Even some members of the original Black Panther Party, including founder Bobby Seale, have publicly criticized the new group. They filed a lawsuit several years ago to stop the new party from using the original group's name.

The Black, the Red and the Brown Nations must be given reparations. The American white man owes us reparations. England owes us reparations. France owes us reparations, Spain and all of Europe. Africa owes us reparations and repatriation. The Arabs owe us reparations. The “Jews” owe us reparations. All have taken part in the AFRICAN HOLOCAUST and the slaughter of 600 million of our people over the past 6,000 years in general and 400 year in particular. We know that this is a reasonable and just demand that we make at this time in history. Wha-?! Where do I begin? They think it's reasonable to demand reparations for something allegedly done 6,000 years ago? And who decides which people are descended from the gulity and which from the innocent? And why aren't they demanding justice for the "yellow" race? Or is the "yellow" race guilty like the white? There's a whole lot of stupid here. I wonder how many people agree with this $^*!

Sounds like Zimbawe; wants the White man to support them so they can come around and steal what he has built then bitch because he White man does not build more. When the world is Socialist, or Communist (what's the difference) who will produce so the utopian idiots can survive?

I second that.

I'm so effing tired of every anti-American whining group of brats. I just want them to dry up and disappear.

If they want CWII. Let's get down to the dirt.

Give me, Give me, I want, I want. I'm owed this, I'm owed that.
These people and those that think like them even though born in the U.S., them and those that have never been outside the U.S. nor their relatives, are not really Americans. They either don't know how or don't want to.
Any time I see a person that refers to themselves as anything that has a hyphen in front of American instead of just being an American with a heritage, I hold suspect of being a true American because they think (IMO) they belong to the group or country before the hyphen before being an American.

This proves that Islam is only an attractive "religion" when people have an ax to grind. It's also a religion that excuses the sins of the heart like hate, lying, and even murder. (As long as you pray, Alah akbar while decapitating an infidel you'll be okay) That's why it's the number one "religion" in the prisons of the US.

So, I suppose this Anti-white-Christian-Jewish organization is going to make intimidation a full time job.

I really worry for this country. Everyone is out for themselves. Women, Blacks, Gays, Muslims, you name it. There is no sense of common good. Everyone has the F@@@@ you what are you looking at attitude. It's always someone else's fault for the bad decisions I made kind of crap. Sick.

Why don't the Black Panthers talk about family. Like how many black women with children have no husband. Is that the white mans fault? Why do some black women have multiple children with multiple fathers? Why does this destructive culture exist?

Why did black organizations dismiss trade schools as racism when black men didn't want to study a scholastic profession, but rather a trade like auto technician? They claimed it was funneling blacks away from traditional colleges and high schools. Why is the word commitment completely absent from the black mans brain? Why is the sense of family in the black community defined by gang membership? Why are women "bitches"? Why are men "dogs"? Why do black people consider some of their own people "sellouts" or speaking "white" when speaking proper English?

Have the black panther's considered these things?

These questions are not asked because of hate or malice. These questions are subjects that have been raised by people in the black community. There are those who asked what has Jesse Jackson done that was so wonderful for the black community? If black folks actually stopped feeling like victims Jesse would be jobless. Jesse needs your anger and hate.

They sound like the Black Panthers of the 60's. What a joke when they say they aren't focused on Communism! Whatever they say, their purpose is to destroy the "decadent American society". This kind of hatred mixed with rage will lead to very bad things. Wonder if Hillary! will help them out when they get into trouble with the law again. Her sympathies are with them in every enraged fiber of her being.

"I wonder how many people agree with this $^*!"

Quite a few from my experience, sorry to say. That's what makes it so disturbing.
