During the International Hurricane Katrina and Rita Tribunal we heard all sorts of testimony about white vigilantes ‘hunting’ down Black folks. This was in addition to the widespread police brutality. In some instances New Orleans police were seen riding with and working with white vigilantes who claimed they were protecting their neighborhoods.

Former Black Panther Malik Rahim of the organization Common Ground was witness to white vigilantes who were roaming his neighborhood in Algiers which is located on the West Bank of New Orleans. This was one of the few places in the city that did not experience flooding. It was the only neighborhood in all of New Orleans that still had safe drinking water.

According to Malik, Black people who discovered the what good shape Algiers was in came over seeking refuge. Sadly they found themselves being chased off or gunned down by mobs of angry whites who patrolled the neighborhood. Black people including Malik who were from Algiers found themselves being threatened by their former neighbors.

During his searing testimony Malik offered up a documentary he and his comrades from Common Ground put together. In the documentary we get to see and hear angry white people bragging about how they were shooting and killing Blacks while they were barbecueing. It seems so outlandish to the point of dis-belief until. They went out at night on what they called ‘pheasant Hunts’. Malik estimates that over 200 Blacks lost their lives to white vigilantes.

During his testimony Malik talked about military occupation and how soldiers who came straight from Iraq were brought over to patrol New Orleans. Algiers was ground zero for many of these troops. Malik talks in great detail about Black neighborhoods being under-seiged and Black people being terrorized as bullet ridden Black male bodies were turning up everyday.

Shed some light on this one, Juss.

I Wouldn't Say It Was 200 But The Number Doesn't Matter Because 1 Is Too Many

Now When Katrina Happened I Was On The Side That Flooded :nod:... The Algiers Area (Which Is A Majority Black Area... Very Nice In Some Areas And Not So Nice In Others And It Has Like 20 Blocks Populated By Rednecks) Is On The Side Of The River That Didn't Get Any Flooding

Now What Happened Was Everyone Was In A Panic So An "Every Man For Himself" Mentality Spread Like Crazy On The Side That Didn't Flood... But On The Side That Did Flood People Were Wilding Out But The Majority Of People Were Helping Each Other Out...

Anyway Word Of Mouth Spread That Theives Were Crossing The Bridge To The Non Flooded Side Of New Orleans To Come Take Stuff (Which Wasn't True Because The National Guard Had It Blocked Off) So A Few People (White Guys) Decided To Get Their Shot Guns And Blast At Anyone They Did Not Know... According To Them It Was A Coencidence That Everyone They Didn't Know Was Black

They Patroled Their Neighborhood In Trucks With Their Guns Questioning Anyone They Thought Looked Suspicious

I Have Fam In Algiers And They Said That The Groups Would Ride Around Blasting Rock Music Shooting In The Air...

Take It How You Want To :paper:

BTW I Live In Algiers Now... Only Black Home Owner On My Block... I LOVE IT! They Don't... I Live Around Old White People... I Mean OLD... Retired Cats... Big Nice Houses... And They Hate That I'm Younger And We're Neighbors But They'll Be Alright

Im not sure what this has to do with anything...but ok...(i happen to be married to one of those "cute black women")


This had nothing to do with race to me!
Katrina was a horrible situation for everyone....white, black, or any other race you can think of!
I'm sure I could find some article's blaming black people for various crimes, and vice versa...my point being....let's all stop blaming other races for every wrong thing that comes along.....if what the man says is true, then fine, lets find those people and prosecute. But in reality, all these type of "searing testimonies" do is spread hate and discontent, and continue to separate our already wide racial boundaries.
I'm no optimist, and i know that racism will always be in our society...im just tired of it and we (americans) need to at least try to get along....because trust me when i tell you....there are alot of nasty countries/people in this world that would slice our (americans) throats just because of what we are....regardless of race.

and i bet youve got a colored tv too right!

way to go!!!

[Tarheel_Nation11]

ha this is real funny. Yeah Im pretty sure there will be an extensive search for these vigilantes riding around in trucks "Pheasant hunting." If the races were reversed they might bring back the guillotine for this one. its funny you are worrying about other countries slicing your throat, when you live in a country where you an get shot 42 times for pulling out ya wallet. Thats a weak argument. Time to wake up bro

:nod:

Grew up the later part of my teen years in a neighborhood like that, they'll get over it
...but, then again they won't hesitate to call the police when things start to pop off...or when the music is too loud (no 10's in the Cadillac in the driveway at 3 in the mornin'):neutral:

You see Mrjef31....when you decide to post that first comment about that man talking bullshit because of his association with the Black Panthers you fucked up right there. People like you talk about being American and who you married etc, etc, that says nothing to me but one thing......your the biggest racist of them all. If you really want us to get along you have to free your mind, when that happens you will not see Black Panther and automatically think this man is full of shit. Your hate is hidden deep inside you..........I wound not be surprise if you were out there with those people.....but you would have a sheet over your head.
