Previously, none of the cable networks other than Fox reported this story, casting doubt on its accuracy. However, the Associated Press has since investigated and just published the following story on the Justice Department's refusal to charge the New Black Panther Party with voter intimidation and civil rights violations:
Ex-Justice Dept lawyer says whites' rights ignored By Jesse Washington AP National Writer
[Excerpts]
"PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Witnesses described an ugly scene: Two members of the New Black Panther Party threatening white voters the day Barack Obama was elected president, flinging insults like 'white devil' and 'you're about to be ruled by the black man, cracker.'"
"The fallout from the case has become even uglier. Most charges against the men were dropped for lack of evidence, the U.S. Justice Department says. Now a former Justice Department lawyer is accusing his ex-superiors of ignoring white voters' rights and creating a systematic 'one-way' approach in which only minorities are protected."
"The claims by J. Christian Adams are the latest installment of a long-running dispute over Justice Department enforcement of the nation's civil rights laws. It's a political fight over such volatile accusations as black-on-white racism, double standards and payback - issues that are magnified with black men serving as president and attorney general."
"'To some, the civil rights laws are not meant to protect all Americans, they are meant to protect certain Americans,' Adams, a conservative who helped prosecute the case against the New Black Panthers, wrote in a June 28 essay on pajamasmedia.com. He quit the Justice Department on May 14."
"On Election Day 2008, King Samir Shabazz and Jerry Jackson dressed in black uniforms of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, whose website recently made such statements as, 'the white man has kept us deaf, dumb and blind, and used every "dirty trick" in the book to stand in the way of our freedom and independence.'"
"The men stationed themselves near the entrance to a polling place in a largely black neighborhood. Shabazz carried a nightstick. Their actions quickly came to the attention of police, who told Shabazz to leave but allowed Jackson, a certified poll watcher, to remain."
"Shortly before President George W. Bush left office, the Justice Department filed a civil lawsuit against the two men, the New Black Panther Party and its leader, Malik Zulu Shabazz. The defendants never responded to the government's lawsuit, which had the same effect as a guilty plea."
"Before any penalties could be handed down - and after Obama appointed Eric Holder to run the Justice Department - charges were dropped against everyone but Samir Shabazz."
"[Adams] wrote that some people see selective enforcement of civil rights laws 'as a backdoor way to achieve reparations for slavery and discrimination. If the American public won't tolerate monetary reparations, which they won't, then a one-way approach to civil rights laws is seen as the next best alternative.'"

Haven't you been paying attention?
DOJ had a solid case for five months. Holder takes over, drops it, and has refused to cooperate with both Congress amd EEOC.
This is the same Holder who declared that whites are not protected under the new Hate Crime Law because they have not been "historically" targetted because of race. Where has he been the past 50 yrs.?

Ask Zepp how he'd feel if Paris had been one of the white voters who was assaulted. The video shows them focusing on females.

Oh poor little you. Your equalizing of white suffering with black suffering is a bit ridiculous. But since I have not followed this case you are discussing, I'll agree that laws should be administered equally regardless of race.
