Racists Endorse Obama on Candidate's Website, Says Aaron Klein

WASHINGTON, March 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Just as Sen. Barack Obama
sought to distance himself from controversial racial remarks made by his
pastor, an anti-American-government, anti-white and virally anti-Semitic black
supremacist party has endorsed the presidential candidate on Obama's own
website.

"Obama will stir the 'Melting Pot' into a better 'Molten America,'" states an
endorsement from the New Black Panther Party, or NBPP, which is a registered
team member and blogger on Obama's "MyObama" campaign website.

The NBPP is a controversial black extremist party whose leaders are notorious
for their racist statements and for leading anti-white activism.

Malik Zulu Shabazz, NBPP national chairman, who has given scores of speeches
condemning "white men" and Jews, confirmed his organization's endorsement of
Obama in an interview with WND today.

"I think the way Obama responded to the attack on him and the attempt to
sabotage his campaign shows true leadership and character. He had a chance to
denounce his pastor and he didn't fall for the bait. He stood up and addressed
real issues of racial discord," stated Shabazz.

"I have nothing but respect for Obama and for his pastor," said Shabazz,
referring to Jeremiah Wright, Obama's pastor of nearly 20 years whose racially
charged and anti-Israel remarks were widely circulated last week landing the
presidential candidate in hot water.

Shabazz's NBPP's official platform states "white man has kept us deaf, dumb
and blind," refers to the "white racist government of America," demands black
people be exempt from military service, and uses the word "Jew" repeatedly in
quotation marks.

The NBPP endorses Obama on its own page of the presidential candidate's
official site that allows registered users to post their own blogs.

The group labels itself on Obama's site as representing "Freedom, Justice, and
Peace for all of Mankind." It links to the official NBPP website, which
contains what can be arguably referred to as hate material.

While it appears anyone can initially sign up as a registered supporter on
Obama's site, it isn't clear whether the campaign monitors the site or
approves users. There is a link on each blog page for users to report any
abusers, such as those who post controversial entries, to the administrator.

Obama's campaign did not return repeated phone calls seeking comment on
Monday.
