Former Klansman David Duke Endorses Former Black Panther Charles Barron in Congressional Race
When former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, David Duke, announces his support for former Black Panther, Charles Barron, in a Congressional race, then you know
the world as you know it has changed.
Duke is an avowed white supremacist who ran in both the ’88 and ’92 presidential primaries. Even though Duke is from Louisiana, he announced his support for Barron’s 8th Congressional district in New York via YouTube.
Many believe Duke’s support can be tied to the fact that both he and Barren hold anti-Israel positions.
Both Barron and Duke have record of calling out Israel for its atrocities.
“In a race for Congress between an anti-Zionist black activist and a black activist who is a bought and paid for Zionist Uncle Tom, I’ll take the anti-Zionist any day,” said Duke in his ‘endorsement’.
Politics makes strange bedfellows, I guess.

No fan of racist David Duke but at least he was honest about it.
wow!!! I think all politicians could use a dose of this guys sense of realism!!
Like my southern Daddy use to say to me, “Who would have thunk it?!
Many Southerners like myself have more respect for a man who looks you in the eye and tells you he doesn’t like you than for one who rubs your back just before stabbing you.
Put nothing past the white man; especially the KKK grand wizard.
He’d hang us all if given the opportunity.
Clearly, some black people are too naïve and trusting. Like we haven’t been betrayed by the twinkle of blue eyes before.
Go ahead and sleep, just keep one eye open.
This is another example of major contradiction within the rank of a socio-political agenda in AmeriKKKa surrounding pathologies of race and power. If this move will sensationalize Duke’s position, this devout racist man and leader of hatred, is willing to suspend his lynch mob affiliation toward blacks in order to politicize a heartier position of hatred against jews; two groups in America who have been under the threat of white hate groups. Not all jews are pro Israel either! And many blacks equate what is pro-Israel to symbolize the historically anti-black revile of America, which the Klan is intrinsically connected. I’m trying to think of every other possible motive behind a white supremicst klansman voting a former black panther councilman to congress, other than pro-Israel…maybe there isn’t one but I have to wonder.
did barron accept his endorsement?
It doesn’t change my mind about David Duke, but definitely makes me interested in Charles Barron. Any Black politician with the courage to oppose U.S. pro Zionist policy is worth supporting. I wish I knew of a few more, but that kind of courage is extremely costly. After all it was the U.S. government that killed off and incarcerated the Black Panthers.
Elaine I agree with you. How could this even be something to speak on. I mean he compared two black men not a black & a white man. He related to this black man who has something in common with him…..HATRED!!!!! It doesnt matter that these two hate each other & that the greed of white people have destroyed this entire planet! How could one support this black nationalist if he is willingly going to be associated with the KKK? I mean whether he acknowledges it or not….there is now a link. We need to be careful who we put into office….this is disturbing!!!!
Just because Barron speaks for the community, he is full of hatred? Also where did you see that he accepted Duke’s endorsement? Do you know anything about New York City politics or Councilman Barron?
The only reason that he is endorsing Barron, is because he knows that most people won’t vote for a candidate, that is endorsed, or backed by the KKK. Even though Israel, is a racist country, and practices genocide, and apartheid, evidenced by their slaughter of the Palestinians, and their support for the apartheid regime in South Africa, and their recent deportation of the Sudanese, and other African people, which they describe as an cancer, not all Jews are racist.
I used my absentee ballot to vote for Barron, even though I don’t agree with a lot of his positions, because we don’t need any more Black politicians that will just follow this President, and congress blindly, and will put up a fight for our share of the pie.
It is getting “FREAKY” in here!
The anxiety over a potential Charles Barron victory is needless. I’m sorry that KKK leader David Duke was so easily goaded into endorsing Councilman Barron. He’s not the well-informed white nationalist he claims to be if was so easily played by the Zionists he hates.
I have no tolerance for either racism or anti-semitism (or other types of hate) but the hysteria over Barron (and now Duke) is unnecessary. See my posts here – http://wp.me/p18KKd-wM
This lamebrain dingbat endorsed this Black guy because he is mentally ill…..People who is bias or prejudice are mentally ill and a recent studies indicated that they are low in intelligence……..
@mshoneebrown, co-sign what you said 1000%.
If Barron is smart he will capitalize on all of this recent controversy by connecting Bloomberg’s “Stop and Frisk” law to his Democratic primary as a WEDGE issue. If Barron comes out strong against “Stop and Frisk” as his #1 campaign issue, he will win, period!!!
Charles Barron’s main issue is the stop and frisk policy of the NYPD.
Change… Whenever and However it comes is… GOOD!
That wuz an endorsement?
At Louisiana State University, David Duke and I were students of Emeritus Professor of History Dr. T. Harry Williams. To be sure, Duke did not lose sight of the fact that the head of the early Klan met with Black Nationalist Marcus Garvey (UNIA & back to Africa) rather than discuss similar matter with Dr. DuBois & the NAACP. David has a precedent for this endorsement. Dr. Williams would be proud!
It’s annoying to hear criticism of Obama as if he’s in control of everything! He doesn’t have enough control to pass legislation because too many people didn’t vote for the house/senate/congressional seats that are undermining his every endeavor. It’s a numbers game. What do you think ‘right to vote’ legislation is about?.. Control the numbers, control the outcome!
They, the Klan and Bk Panthers are the exact same type of organization! If you can put one in office you can not be against or stop the other.
Be careful of half truths, and question motivation.
Its time to realize, politicts do make strange bedfellows. I absolutly agree with David Duke. Israel is a RACIST country, . Barron is right on the mark. Black or white, HE HAS A PAIR, whic your cirrent admin does not have. erick holder is a joke, we need Politicians who have the courage to speak the truth. As a former member of the Panthers I support barron 100% . GO BROTHER, you are laying a great foundation. The Hat lady http://www.youtube.com/user/bilalscaps
