The New Black Panther Party, a group described by many as being the largest organized anti-Semitic and racist Black militants in America, has used troubling language to describe several of the events scheduled to be held Saturday, April 23, in New York City, Washington, DC and about 40 other cities across the United States during its "National Day of Action. 

The leaders of the NBPP have stated that opposing Jews and "Zionism" is one of the "pressing issues" they wish to address, among myriad other social and political issues.  Its leadership has also made threats of militant action in some cities, with one NBPP leader recommending that children attending the Philadelphia event wear bicycle helmets and another claiming that "we are trained and ready here in Killadelphia," according to officials with the Anti-Defamation League in New York City.
The group's organizers are calling the April 23 "Day of Action" its most ambitious endeavor since the Million Youth March of 1998, which ended with clashes with police in Harlem after a series of anti-Semitic and racist speakers took the podium.
While involved in flagrant voter intimidation on behalf of President Barack Obama, the Obama Justice Department refused to press charges and was exposed for being overly lenient with a militant group that espouses racial hatred. The NBPP endorsed Senator Obama during his presidential campaign.
According to the ADL, the New Black Panther Party has a long record of anti-Semitic and racist rhetoric, and the group continues to make clear its antagonism toward Jews and "Zionists."
"Malik Zulu Shabazz, the anti-Semitic and racist leader of the New Black Panther Party (NBPP), has sought to recast himself as a serious civil rights leader in recent years by cloaking his bigotry and intolerance in religious and civil rights principles and inserting himself in high profile, racially charged issues around the country," according to ADL officials.
Shabazz’s -- whose birth name is Paris Lewis -- efforts have been supported, at times, by prominent members of the African-American community, which has provided him with a measure of status as a legitimate leader. This status is also reinforced by members of the news media who provide him with enormous coverage while ignoring his divisive record.
At 42-years old, Shabazz’s attempts to gain acceptance and respectability are tainted, however, by his long record of racism and anti-Semitism, which he continues to embrace. That record includes promoting conspiracy theories about Jewish foreknowledge of the September 11 terrorist attacks and canards that Jews control the media and were “significantly and substantially” involved in the transatlantic slave trade.
The group's anti-Jewish agenda is clear from promotional materials and comments by NBPP leaders in the run-up to the events:

• Promotional materials for the event include Zionism among the "pressing issues" necessitating the action.
• Promotional materials for the event state that the event goals "must be achieved by any means necessary."
• The NBPP has cited opposition to Zionism and what it views as Jewish economic exploitation of Blacks as being among the reasons the NBPP is organizing the event: "It's good to expose the manipulation... the abuses of the Zionists and the Jews, how they have manipulated our community and [sic] sucking are resources," said national chairman Malik Zulu Shabazz. "They still have their hands in our economy. They still are making money off of us... why don't we start to impact the economy of our oppressor?"
• The NBPP has indicated that it plans to organize a rally outside of at least one Jewish institution in Baltimore. In addition, Shabazz has cited an alleged assault of a Black teenager by Jewish men in Baltimore in November 2010 as being among the reasons that supporters there should mobilize: "If … you're mad about it and you're ready to load up and go over there and go deal with it on April 23, check right on in."
