Following is the 10 point "Platform" for the NBPPFSD that up until a week age was listed as a supporter on BO's website.
What the New Black Panthers Want
What the New Black Panthers Believe
1. We want freedom. We want the power to practice self-determination, and to determine the destiny of our community and THE BLACK NATION. We believe in the spiritual high moral code of our Ancestors. We believe in the truths of the Bible, Quran, and other sacred texts and writings. We believe in MAAT and the principles of NGUZO SABA. We believe that Black People will not be free until we are able to determine our Divine Destiny.
2. We want full employment for our people and we demand the dignity to do for ourselves what we have begged the white man to do for us. 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!
3. 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. A form of reparations was promised 100 years ago (forty acres and a mule) as restitution for the continued genocide of our people and to in meaningful measure and repair the damage for the AFRICAN HOLOCAUST (Maangamizo/Maafa).
We believe our people should be exempt from ALL TAXATION as long as we are deprived of equal justice under the laws of the land and the overdue reparations debt remains unpaid. We will accept payment in fertile and mine rally rich land, precious metals, industry, commerce and currency. As genocide crimes continue, people’s tribunals must be set up to prosecute and to execute. The “Jews” were given reparations. The Japanese were given reparations. 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.
4. We want decent housing, fit for shelter of human beings, free health-care (preventive and maintenance). We want an end to the trafficking of drugs and to the biological and chemical warfare targeted at our people. 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.
5. We want education for our people that exposes the true nature of this devilish and decadent American society. We want education that teaches us our true history/herstory and our role in the present day society.
We believe in an educational system that will give our people “a knowledge of self.” If we do not have knowledge of self and of our position in society and the world, then we have little chance to properly relate to anything else.
6. 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. We will protect ourselves from the force and violence of the racist police and the racist military, “by any means necessary.” 7. We want an immediate end to POLICE HARRASSMENT, BRUTALITY and MURDER of Black People. We want an end to Black-on-Black violence, “snitching,” cooperation and collaboration with the oppressor.
We believe we can end police brutality in our community by organizing Black self-defense groups (Black People’s Militias/Black Liberation Armies) that are dedicated to defending our Black Community from racist, fascist, police/military oppression and brutality. The Second Amendment of white America’s Constitution gives a right to bear arms. We therefore believe that all Black People should unite and form and “African United Front” and arm ourselves for self-defense.
8. We want freedom for all Black Men and Black Women held in international, military, federal, state, county, city jails and prisons.
We believe that all Black People and people of color should be released from the many jails and prisons because they have not received a fair and impartial trial. ‘Released’ means ‘released’ to the lawful authorities of the Black Nation.
9. We want all Black People when brought to trial to be tried in a court by a jury of their peer group or people from their Black Communities, as defined by white law of the Constitution of the United States.
We believe that the courts should follow their own law, if their nature will allow (as stated in their Constitution of the United States) so that Black People will receive fair trials. The 6th Amendment of the United States Constitution gives a man/woman a right to an impartial trial, which has been interpreted to be a “fair” trial by one’s “peer” group. A “peer” is a person from a similar economic, social, religious, geographical, environmental, historical and racial background. To do this, the court will be forced to select a jury from the Black Community from which the Black defendant came. We have been and are being tried by all white juries that have no understanding of the “average reasoning person” of the Black Community.
10. WE DEMAND AN END TO THE RACIST DEATH PENALTY AS IT IS APPLIED TO BLACK AND OPPRESSED PEOPLE IN AMERICA. WE DEMAND FREEDOM FOR ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS OF THE BLACK RED AND BROWN NATION!
We want land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice and peace. And, as our political objective, we want NATIONAL LIBERATION in a separate state or territory of our own, here or elsewhere, “a liberated zone” (“New Africa” or Africa), and a plebiscite to be held throughout the BLACK NATION in which only we will be allowed to participate for the purposes of determining our will and DIVINE destiny as a people. FREE THE LAND! “UP YOU MIGHTY NATION! YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH WHAT YOU WILL!” BLACK POWER! History has proven that the white man is absolutely disagreeable to get along with in peace. No one has been able to get along with the white man. All the people of color have been subjected to the white man’s wrath. We believe that his very nature will not allow for true sharing, fairness, equity and justice. Therefore, to the Red Man and Woman, to the Yellow and to the Brown, we say to you
“THE SAME RABID DOG THAT BIT YOU, BIT US TOO!” ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
If I say that I’m ROTFLMAO, I suppose I’ll be called a racist, right?
Uh....is there a state we can give them.....please. Then, everyone else could live in peace, maybe. But, of course we'd have to wall it off!
Chewing on Uncle Mombata's thighbone?
Substitute the word “white” for “black” and see how PC you are.
Obama is racist and socialist. Otherwise, I am sure he’s a nice guy.

Arkansas is my pick.
RATSMy response: Get a job.
As I read their miserable manifesto, all I could conjure is hands outstretched saying “gimme gimme gimme”. How curious that they say they want freedom, but want others to take care of them.
The government has already given into all of their demands. They just don’t want to work for them.
They’ve already got a state: the state of dementia!
“criminal settler colonialism” Oh i think they got their revenge on the evil white settlers. They murdered a lot them and then starved because no one could/would farm the land.
“Yep. This platform worked so well in South Africa and in Rhodesia, oops.. Zimbabwe. < / SARC “
You forgot Haiti.....
So in a nutshell:
WE WANT,WE WANT,WE WANT,WE WANT,WE WANT,WE WANT,WE WANT,WE WANT,WE WANT,
Gimmie,Gimmie,Gimmie,Gimmie,Gimmie,Gimmie,Gimmie,Gimmie,Gimmie,
Victim,Victim,Victim,Victim,Victim,Victim,Victim,Victim,Victim,
The Obama campaign was stupid to allow that. I wonder what they were thinking? Pretty much Obama’s organization has run a skillful campaign. They never needed these thugs.
I’d say you summed it up pretty well
” We want all Black Men and Black Women to be exempt from military service”
“son, there aint no draft no more”- Sgt Hulka
That want a free ride on everybody else’s dime . Hate to disappoint you sport but it ain’t gonna happen . You might get “repatriation “ but I really don’t think that the folks in the old country are gonna put up with you crap hat act for very long before the “jungle justice “ gets implemented.
He needed street cred.
“My response: Get a job.”
I ain’t workin’ fo’ da’ man, baby!;)
Well trained Dem Socialists aren’t they!
I think he means he wants a law prohibiting blacks from serving...even if the want to. I got a feeling one of the obstacles to them spreading this hate is military service and a military mentality.
been saying that obama , his wife and his rev plus the congregation are racists but do you find it ironic that the media haven’t called them what they are.
now imagine if McCain had said and done all these things
witch hunt wouldn’t describe it
seems the left has no problems with racism , what from a KKK senator to blacks being racist towards whites.
no no no not there but either vermont or massachusetts
also send all the illegals there too
now just sit back and watch all the libs go mad
are they aware that affirmative action is there , aprogramme which is geared to wards being racist towards whites and giving blacks a job or school placemnt or even a house based on skin colour
and I thought we were supposed to not look at skin colour so why do we have this programme
LOL! Yep, they sound like Obama supporters alright. They sound like Wright.
Well..they say they demand jobs, but hate the capitalists who would be employing them. So it must be whitey’s fault.
Heh...back in the 1990s, I read in the dead tree media that some black activists (and congresspeople?) here in the US were royally PO'd because African airport security staff were waving through visiting (white) Americans and Britons, while grilling black tourists. When confronted, the unapologetic airport staffers explained that white tourists were there for photo safaris and humanitarian purposes and were not often caught in illicit activities, while too many black "tourists" were caught drug dealing , smuggling, and doing even worse . No idea how this "controversy" was resolved (if it ever was).
Black Business Yellow Pages!?! But those are CAPITALISTS, they are EEEEVEEEEL and no longer black, according to millionaires Wright and Obama.
Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr:
"In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01. White America and the Western world came to realize that people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just 'disappeared' as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring Black concerns."
http://www.cmaucc.org/EMRJeremiahWright2.pdf
Rev. Wright in a sermon on Sept. 16, 2001:
"We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America’s chickens are coming home to roost...."

One thing: New Black Panther Mouthpiece
"..Born Paris Lewis, Shabazz is, for all his radical exploits, a member in good standing of the Washington, D.C., Bar who graduated from Howard University School of Law in 1995..."
That is better than Hillary Clinton did:
Well, the democrats are the historical racists in America. Abe was a republican; a century later, those who fought most fiercely against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 were democrats. Read Sen. Byrd. The whigs/Republicans were at the head of the Abolitionist movement, look up SOS Seward for example.
The best thing about this election cycle is that it marks the beginning of many black voters finally seeing and feeling that they are, in fact, and have been for a long time, taken for granted, diminished, and otherwise kept on the proverbial plantation by democrats.
If democrat suicide were not so serious, it would be hilarious.
Popcorn fodder.
But, we need two strong parties. We need Scoop Jackson, HHH, Nunn, Richard Russell, Truman, John Kennedy et al., as the loyal opposition. Not a bunch of far far left wing socialist pansies taking over a venerable party. It’s a shame.
But, if Obama is not at the top of the ticket, the democrats may as well rename their party. How about the BWP, the Bitter Women Party. Oh, they have room for the rich elites and metrosexuals out there.
I may be old, ok I am, but I cannot believe that the democrats have put themselves in the position of letting the move on wing control their nomination.
I just do not see HRC winning the GE. No way. Negatives are too positive. Obama may be a challenge until his way out leftist agenda is revealed. Even then, he could win due to this pathological need for racial catharsis by whites who never owned a slave, have already paid for the “birth defect” but still feel guilty enough about everything to pay reparations and buy carbon credits at the same time. I may be wrong, but that way of thinking seems absurd.
I did think Rice’s comment was moving, to the effect that “Blacks loved and had faith in America when America neither loved nor had faith in blacks.” There’s truth to that I think. I lived in segregated times, and in retrospect it was shameful. But who says otherwise? Nobody.
We’ve come a long way in a short time, and the time for reparations, apologies, 40 acres and a mule are long gone. If I were Obama’s speech writer, I would have had him say that he disagrees with Wright’s GD America approach. “My approach is may God continue to bless America.” Nothing to lose everything to gain by expressing that sentiment.
"During his fugitive years, Mr. [William] Ayers said, he lived in 15 states, taking names of dead babies in cemeteries who were born in the same year as he. He describes the typical safe house: there were usually books by Malcolm X and Ho Chi Minh, and Che Guevara's picture in the bedroom; fermented Vietnamese fish sauce in the refrigerator, and live sourdough starter donated by a Native American that was reputed to have passed from hand to hand over a century."
(snip)
"Mr. Ayers, who in 1970 was said to have summed up the Weatherman philosophy as:
'Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that's where it's really at,' is today distinguished professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
And he says he doesn't actually remember suggesting that rich people be killed or that people kill their parents, but 'it's been quoted so many times I'm beginning to think I did,' he said."

Allies in War
By David Horowitz
FrontPageMagazine.com | Monday, September 17, 2001:
ON THE MORNING OF THE ATTACKS on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, along with a million other readers of the New York Times including many who would never be able to read the paper again, I opened its pages to be confronted by a color photo showing a middle-aged couple holding hands and affecting a defiant look at the camera. The article was headlined in an irony that could not have been more poignant, "No Regrets For A Love Of Explosives."
The couple pictured were Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, former leaders of the 1960s’ Weather Underground, America’s first terrorist cult. One of their bombing targets, as it happened, was the Pentagon.
"I don’t regret setting bombs," Ayers was quoted in the opening line of the Times profile; "I feel we didn’t do enough." In 1969, Ayers and his wife convened a "War Council" in Flint Michigan, whose purpose was to launch a military front inside the United States with the purpose of helping Third World [Maoist-communist] revolutionaries conquer and destroy it.
Taking charge of the podium, dressed in high-heeled boots and a leather mini-skirt – her signature uniform – Dorhn incited the assembled radicals to join the war against "Amerikkka" and create chaos and destruction in the "belly of the beast."
Her voice rising to a fevered pitch, Dohrn raised three fingers in a "fork salute" to mass murderer Charles Manson whom she proposed as a symbol to her troops. Referring to the helpless victims of the Manson Family as the "Tate Eight" (the most famous was actress Sharon Tate) Dohrn shouted:
"Dig It. First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, they even shoved a fork into a victim’s stomach! Wild!"
(big snip)
Today William Ayers is not merely an author favored by the New York Times, but a Distinguished Professor of Education at the University of Illinois, Chicago.
His Lady Macbeth [Bernadine Dohrn] is not merely a lawyer, but a member of the American Bar Association’s governing elite, as well as the director of Northwestern University’s Children and Family Justice Center.

That guy in the sheets is the same guy Barack Hypocrite Obama supported, campaigned for, and raised money for in the 2006 election. I guess Obama doesn’t have a problem with people with KKK connections and who use the “n-word” on national cable news shows, as long as they are democrats.
Puerto Rico
At the population density of Queens, Puerto Rico could house seventy million.
BTW, Lincoln wanted to ship them to Africa.
I believe EVERYBODY should be exempt from taxation, but this is the real world, so “as little as possible” will have to do...
ping to self.
OBAMA LINKSORAMA.
It worked for the East Indians.
Cheers!
OBAMA LINKSORAMA.
My response to this Manifesto is simple: what about NO don’t you understand.
Well, that’s the emotional response that we all had. Do you think you could come up with a rational argument to counter each of the ten points?
How about a one way ticket back to Africa? Then you can do anything you want. No taxes, no government, no military, whatever you want, you can have it there.
