Investigation needed of voter intimidation case By now many have seen the YouTube video taken Nov. 4, 2008, depicting alleged voter intimidation at a Philadelphia polling place - showing two New Black Panther Party members in paramilitary uniforms, one with a night stick.
While discussions were held between the original Panthers and the new to create understanding and progress, $1,500 was raised for two powerful Field Up films: "A Power Sun" and "Wrack 2. Dhoruba Bin Wahad and Councilman Charles Barron were among the original Black Panther Party members who spoke at the event, which addressed issues such as the storied Black Panther Party's history as well as the plight and legacy of political prisoners/ POWs, and raised funds for upcoming films on the New York Black Panther Party, New York 21 and Black Liberation Army (BLA).
Ninety-five percent of the courtroom trials that went to trial, we won," [Bobby Seale] argued. He said that then-FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover - who viewed the Black Panthers as "a threat to the nation's internal security" - had worked with local police around the country to attack Black Panther headquarters in the cities where they existed. It was in one such shootout, in 1969 in Chicago, that Black Panther Party leaders Fred Hampton and Mark Clark were killed. "Some of y'all should step up" and become leaders in the struggle, Seale said. "You are the leaders. "Black Panther Party members are all over the country," Seale said. "They're shining examples of people who evolved from fighting institutional racism in America."
Former Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean on Sunday accused Fox News of racism for airing without verification a videotape of Agriculture Department official Shirley Sherrod apparently making racist remarks, which led to her dismissal. I think Fox News did something that was absolutely racist," Mr. Dean on "Fox News Sunday." He said the reporting by the conservative- leaning cable network on the Justice Department investigation of New Black Panther Party members outside a Philadelphia voting station during the 2008 elections also had racist undertones.

Previous Documents Contradict Sworn Testimony by Obama Official that Political Appointees Were Not Involved in Decision to Drop Voter Intimidation Lawsuit WASHINGTON, Aug. 11, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that a federal court rejected a claim of the attorney work product doctrine by the Department of Justice (DOJ) for documents prepared after the government dismissed its case against the New Black Panther Party for Self Defense on May 15, 2009, and ordered the agency to provide better justification for withholding those documents related to the aftermath of its decision to drop its complaint against several members of the New Black Panther Party who were accused of engagi...
Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. should resign. He is a disgrace to his office and to his country. Mr. Holder is a race baiter. On Tuesday, he testified during a House Appropriations subcommittee hearing on the voting rights case involving members of the New Black Panther Party. In the 2008 election, Black Panthers - dressed in military fatigues and wielding a club - threatened voters at a Philadelphia polling station. They denounced the voters as "crackers" and vowed those voters would not be allowed to help defeat then-candidate Barack Obama. Their goal was to bully and intimidate. This was a clear case of violation of voting rights. Such behavior may occur with impunity in banana republics - not in the world's leading democracy.
The film explores the Party's conflict with the L.A.P.D. and the US Organization, the killings of Party Members Alprentice "Bunchy" Carter and John Huggins at U.C.L.A. in 1968, as well as the shootout between the L.A.P.D. and the Black Panthers on 41st Street and Central in 1969. The film contains new interviews with former Black Panther Party members along with archival footage detailing the history of racism in Los Angeles from the perspective of the participants who lived to tell about it.
It is certainly "racialist" for Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., under pressure from President Obama, to dismiss the case against the New Black Panther Party members accused by white witnesses of voter intimidation during the 2008 presidential election ("Racialist Justice," Comment & Analysis, Friday). It is equally egregious for the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division to have adopted "a policy of refusing to enforce civil rights laws on behalf of whites victimized by minority perpetrators," in the words of the editorial. This administration routinely allows reverse discrimination - that is, discrimination against whites - to take place. Consider the following examples.
While the upstate tribute is in its 44th year, the store shut-down has fewer years, but a great tradition and understanding. From 1 to 4 p.m., the shops along the busy strip close down in honor of Malcolm X. From Avenue to Verizon - all except "MoBay's and the Juice Bar," said activist attorney Roger Wareham, a member of the December 12th Movement who organized the annual action - were closed. Scores of everyday people joined Sons of Africa, Malcolm X Commemoration Committee and Black Panther Party members for the annual pilgrimage and the subsequent shut-down of stores on 125th Street.
