It is currently led by Malik Zulu Shabazz, and espouses a radical black nationalist philosophy. It is loudly anti-Semitic and anti-white, and often considered a hate group.The party has been denounced by leading members of the original Black Panther Party, who claim that the New Black Panthers have no right to use the Black Panther name or image, and that their points of view do not represent the politics or philosophy of the old Black Panther Party.
