U.S. Civil Rights Commission New Black Panther Case

Christopher, Coates, the former head of the Justice Department’s Civil Right’s Voting Division, testified on 9/24/2010 about charges that the New Black Panther Party intimidated Philadelphia voters in the 2008 election. The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights is investigating allegations that the Obama Justice Department dropped charges against members of the New Black Panther Party for political reasons.

As part of his testimony, he claims the Obama Administration told his department it wanted the department to stop using race neutrality when taking cases. They were only to take cases affecting racial and language minority votes. He also was instructed to no longer ask in the hiring process whether the applicant would adhere to the concept of taking race neutral cases.
