Minister Malik Shabazz Threatens to ‘Burn Down’ Detroit Over ‘White Supremacy’

Minister Malik Shabazz –not to be confused with Malik Zulu Shabazz, the Chairman of the New Black Panther Party– drew attention Monday evening at a financial board hearing in Detroit, where he said that he would burn down the city before seeing it “taken over” by an emergency manager in the wake of the city’s debt crisis.
(Related: Are Michigan’s financial rules really a big government power grab?)
An activist in his own right with the New Black Panther Nation/New Marcus Garvey movement, Shabazz said: “This is white on black crime…This is white supremacy, and we will fight you. And before we will let you take over our city, we will burn it down first.”
The statement was a reaction to the Detroit’s declaration of financial emergency on Monday, and the consequent “emergency manager” that could be appointed if the city’s budget is not restructured. However, the financial review team, Governor Snyder, and Mayor Bing have all said that they too want to avoid such an outcome, and are working to find an alternate solution by the end of the week.
According to Detroit Free Press, “For many in attendance [at the meeting], the state’s threat…stirs bitter memories of unfair wages and forced segregation.”
Shabazz explained that he sees “fascism being inflicted upon the peoples of the inner cities of Michigan,” particularly in the cities where emergency managers have taken over. But though many are sympathetic to the struggles of those in Detroit, that doesn’t mean they agree that burning down the city is the best solution.
WJBK-TV met up with the minister after the event and pushed back on the race-baiting, telling him, “You’re out of your mind!“ The colorful reporter, Charlie LeDuff, even asked, “What the fu** is a matter with you?”
LeDuff and Shabazz were eventually able to reach a conclusion with Shabazz conceding, “Don’t burn it down…Don’t burn the city, but burn evil and injustice and white supremacy — not white people.”
But not before a passionate conversation:

Posted on March 29, 2012 at 3:25pmI live near Detroit. It’s wasteland. Detroit has, for the most part, brought it’s ills upon itself. It’s allowed Progressives complete run of the city and county for 40 years. You can drive for miles past endless blocks of what used to be middle and lower-middle-class neighborhoods that are now nothing but abandoned, boarded-up, and collapsing houses that now house nothing but drug addicts, dealers, homeless, and criminals. Not even the *police* dare drive through many of those areas at night, and a regular person takes one’s own life in their hands even driving through in broad daylight.

Posted on March 28, 2012 at 5:07pmLet me get this right. People borrowed way too much than they could afford and stayed in these houses for free for extended periods and when they had to leave they burnt them down? Did anyone force them to take the money? Now a black majority city lies in ruins because they burnt much of it down and once again it is whitey’s fault. When is the black man going to stop blaming everyone but himself for the blight they have created by doing destructive things to themselves and their families. There are plenty of good examples out there that proves it can be done. Is it easy – no. Now if you want to be pissed at someone look at which party you voted for the last 50 years that promised you everything and made you a dependent slave. So how has that worked for you? Now look at the blacks that have taken on personal repsonsibility for themselves and their families you will see success much more often.

Posted on March 28, 2012 at 5:42pmThe differences really come down to values, faith, education, liberty, freedom, work, truth and not skin color. Blacks disproportionately did not get onboard with these values of our forefathers. I am proud of my country when I see blacks and whites who have worked together and fought Wars side by side. I am sick when I see them or anyone else belly aching about their situation in this land so blessed and free.
The lines of distinction are being drawn for all to see. If you turn a blind eye now, you’ll be lying to yourself and then deserve whatever comes from it.

Posted on March 28, 2012 at 10:32pmRight on George. Too many people have turned their eyes fromthe truth and now that they are so deep in the hole, they not only won’t work to get out, any help offered just gets used for things that WON’T help; from drugs to alcohol and everything in between that perverts the mind and lends itself to social depravity. The downward spiral was started a hundred years ago and there were too many people willing to let it keep happening as long as it didn’t affect them, now that it affects most everyone, the one thing to bring us out is faith in God and prayer.
