Malik Zulu Shabazz, the national chairman of the New Black Panther Party, predicted there would be an increase in racial violence following the re-election of Barack Obama in November.
In audio dated Tuesday, May 8, Shabazz said the group would play an active role in the 2012 election.
"Y’all move out fast and get ready quick, fast, in a hurry,” he said.
Speaking on an Internet radio program, he said that Obama has the support of minorities, gays and what he described as the white "MSNBC vote."
Those who oppose Obama do so purely out of racism, he added.
"I’m telling you that these 60% of white people who are against Barack Obama are going to be very, very, very angry come November when they lose again because the white ego and the white male ego, which is represented in the conservative movement and the Republican party, and the Tea Party, and these right-wingers and these gun-toters, are very racist, and they don’t believe that they should be ruled over by black people, and they’re going to become even more hostile than they are right now,” he said.
After calling First Lady Michelle Obama a "beautiful black woman," and claiming that having her as First Lady "is a blow to the white man’s ego," he warned that "hate crimes are going to be on the rise. George Zimmermans are going to be on the rise."
"What am I predicting? That acts of racism and violence and hatred towards black people are going to be on the rise, because white people fear that their influence is slipping and that their wall is slipping and that their country is being taken from them,” he added.
But Shabazz wasn't finished.
Towards the end of his rant, he made a chilling statement:
“And they’re going to cling to their God and their guns. We might have to, too. We gotta get ready fast, sisters and brothers. We have the summer to get ready, because we don’t know what’s coming down the pipes. And so we gotta get strong, and we gotta get there fast.”
Violent rhetoric is nothing new for Shabazz, who said in April the group needs to kill in self defense.
During the 2008 election, members of the organization were videotaped engaging in voter intimidation. The Justice Department, led by Eric Holder, however, refused to prosecute the group, and the Attorney General claimed the controversy was "made up."
