Omowale was speaking in an interview set to air Sunday night on this reporter’s talk radio program, “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio,” broadcast on New York’s AM 970 The Answer and News Talk 990 AM in Philadelphia.
Omowale used the interview to claim five states as belonging to the “Black Nation”: Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Alabama, and Georgia.
The revolutionary stated: “We just need to start migrating back to those states and taking control of the economics in those states. If black people move in, most definitely white people will move out. So it’s not a hard process for us to have our own country within a country.”
Omowale is also co-founder of the Huey P. Newton Gun Club, a black militant gun group named after Black Panther Party founder Huey P. Newton. According to reports, Dallas shooter Micah X. Johnson “liked” the Huey P. Newton Gun Club and Omawale has said that he recognized Johnson from black community events in Dallas. …
… The Huey P. Newton Gun Club says on its website it is seeking to “develop over time to a regimented Black Army.”

Endquote.


If you can't be bothered to read the answers to the questions you pose, why pose the question in the first place?

So what? For every Black person who expressed those thought there are probably two White people saying the same thing.

They are all doing the same thing; expressing their frustration with what they perceive are injustices.

Are 'well-regulated militias' only for white people? Scary when blacks do the same thing?

uh huh

Incorrect assumption.


The op comment was that Rush Limbaugh reported that the black panthers wanted separate states. According to the quote I easily found in a less than one minute search, the statement from Limbaugh was correct.


I didn't say anything about whites wanting the same thing and nothing about the 2nd Amendment. A question was asked, I answered it.
I am not the one adding the inflammatory rhetoric.


If you would address the OP and topic it would be a nice change of pace for the entire board since it seems the only way people can converse here is in insults and attacks.

He was implying, at least in the segment that this was a major theme of the group. The major theme of the group is that they want less police shootings.

How many blacks actually want independent states within the US? Is that not absurd to project that on all of BLM?
I doubt this is actually what Limbaugh said but if he did he is absolutely wrong. BlackLivesMatter has NEVER spoken about creating an independent Black state. They could never even CONCEIVE of a nation-state if they tried. Unless, of course, it was a state run by black feminists, homosexuals, transvestikes, hoodlums, thugs and pimps. But that would not be a state, would it? That would be CHAOS. And chaos IS what they want...and chaos IS what they are getting!

How can we solve the issue when we scream such things.

Is he not guilty what so many have accused BLM of (including myself)? BLM misuses statistics, ie showing total number of unarmed blacks getting shot by police while ignoring that most were justified (ie a person driving a car and hitting cops on foot is considered unarmed if they are shot). Is Rush not misusing the words of a few BLM knuckleheads and implying it represents the majority?
He was commenting on this article from Breitbart....EXCLUSIVE.

"EXCLUSIVE–New Black Panther Leader: Blacks Need to Migrate to Five Southern States, Form ‘Country Within a Country’"



All he did was comment on published media, as he always does...
