“Denmark Vesey had a plan to kill all the slave masters in the state. Denmark Vesey had a plan to kill every last one of them and kill all of their goddamn families…(Minutes later as part of introducing a speaker who suggested to the audience that they arm themselves) “We got to complete what Denmark didn’t finish. Denmark didn’t finish his mission.”
“I said that but y’all took it out of context. I went over Denmark Vesey’s whole life history, I went over what kind of man he was, what kind of character he had. I went over…I did go over the revolt and what he was planning. First of all, I never said to anybody to kill anybody. Now, y’all know that that’s not right, to say that Shabazz said to kill anybody, that’s not right, I never said that. I gave honor to his history.”
“It was not a specific call to kill anyone…I did not mean we need to go and kill what doesn’t even exist. I meant carry on his general work as an emancipator.”

[Obama] represents the CIA set-up sabotage lie on an African leader and bomb [sic] that man like he’s George Bush … And his wife should leave the n***er tonight.
