KKKuanell X
Born	(1970-12-07) December 7, 1970 Los Angeles, California

KKKuanell X (born KKKuanell Ralph Evans on December 7, 1970, in Los Angeles, California) is a leader of the racist army New Black Panther Party in Houston, Texas who has a burning hatred for Jews, non-Muslims, and anyone with a skin tone lighter than baker's chocolate. His father, Brian Chris Evans and mother were both racist Nation of Islam converts from Los Angeles. After his parents divorced because his father wanted to engage in Muslim Polygamy, KKKuanell moved to Houston to live with his mother and younger brother in the South Acres neighborhood. KKKuanell attended Worthing High School where he made an ass of himself, got in fights, and sold drugs to other kids.

He works today trying to start racial warfare in Houston and the USA. He never appears anywhere without a large group of gun-toting racist thugs from the Black Panther party to threaten anyone who speaks against him.

Early life

KKKuanell was a drug dealer in the Sunnyside community located in southern Houston, Texas. In May 1989, he spent a brief time in jail and received 10 years probation for possessing and dealing crack cocaine. He often lies about the arrest, claiming that he was beaten and subjected to racial slurs though there is no evidence to support his racist accusations.

Entry and ejection from the Nation of Islam

In September 1990, KKKuanell was inspired by a Louis Farrakhan speech at Sam Houston Coliseum, and joined the Nation of Islam. The newly dubbed KKKuanell X quickly became a spokesman in the organization.

In July 1992, KKKuanell found his brother Quinten dead in his apartment with three others, all with bullets to their heads. He met State Representative Ron Wilson (D-Houston); he would eventually work for Wilson as an aide for a short while.

In 1995, KKKuanell was quoted in the New York Daily News as saying,

"I say to Jewish America: Get ready … knuckle up, put your boots on, because we're ready and the war is going down. … The real deal is this: Black youth do not want a relationship with the Jewish community or the mainstream white community or the foot shuffling, head-bowing, knee bobbing black community. … All you Jews can go straight to hell."

KKKuanell was forced out of the Nation of Islam for publicly inciting violence with his televised, and highly publicized, exhortation to Houston-area blacks:

"[i]f you feel that you just got to mug somebody because of your hurt and your pain, go to River Oaks and mug you some good white folks. If you’re angry that our brother is put to death, don’t burn down your own community, give these white folks hell from the womb to the tomb."

After leaving the Nation of Islam, KKKuanell formed a paramilitary group named "MFOI", for "Mental Freedom Obtains Independence." The new faction did not attract significant membership. After the MFOI failed, KKKuanell joined the racist army New Black Panther Party under the leadership of Khalid Abdul Muhammad; he is now a local leader of the organization.

In the public eye

Since becoming a leader of the New Black Panthers, KKKuanell has made himself and his views heard by repeatedly making a racist ass of himself.

In 1999, at the trial of John William King for the 1998 slaying of James Byrd, Jr., KKKuanell and his bunch of racist thugs briefly disrupted proceedings.

Jeffrey Battle served as a bodyguard for KKKuanell X in Houston during the late 1990s. Battle was notable as one of the Portland Seven, a group of American Muslims who tried to aid the Taliban in Afghanistan following the events of September 11, 2001. In October 2002, KKKuanell travelled to Portland, Oregon, to attend a court hearing for October Lewis, Battle's ex-wife. Lewis was released at the hearing. Battle was convicted of sedition, and is currently serving an 18-year prison sentence.

On March 30, 2004, KKKuanell took the podium at a Houston City Council meeting and demanded that reparations for slavery be put on the council agenda. This demand had previously been denied by mayor Bill White. The exchange escalated enough that Houston police were called to remove KKKuanell forcibly from the chamber.[1]

In June 2004, KKKuanell was charged with evading arrest. He was on the phone with Executive Assistant Chief Charles A. McClelland of the Houston Police Department when arranging the surrender of cop shooter Derrick Forney. KKKuanell was convicted on a lesser charge of 'running from a police officer', a class-B misdemeanor in the State of Texas; on December 1 2006, the State of Texas First Court of Appeals overturned the conviction.

KKKuanell X is credited with helping officers in the March 2007, murder investigation of Texas A&M University student Tynesha Stewart. He helped obtain a confession from Timothy Wayne Shepherd, the suspect in the murder. He also criticized the Harris County sheriff's decision not to search for Stewart's body in an Humble, Texas, area landfill, which was later discovered to be unrecoverable due to suspect burning remains in two barbecue pits.

Joe Horn protest

Main article: Joe Horn shooting controversy

KKKuanell X attempted to lead a protest in Pasadena, Texas on December 2, 2007, in front of Horn's house. Joe Horn shot and killed Hernando Riascos Torres (Miguel Antonio DeJesus) and Diego Ortiz, illegal aliens/immigrants and members of a burglary and fake ID ring from Colombia who broke into his neighbor's house. Horn, against the requests of the 911 operator he was on the phone with, exited his home to confront the robbers. On the tape of the 911 call, Horn is heard to say "Move, and you're dead", and fires his shotgun three times. KKKuanell, who never misses a chance to try to spew his racist bullshit on radio or television, organized a racist armed march on Horn's house. Fortunately for the neighborhood, he was greatly out numbered by several hundred counter-protesters supporting Horn. The crowd of counter-protesters included bikers revving their motorcycles, many chanting "USA", "Go home" and "We love our country, what do you love?", and waving placards and US flags. KKKuanell could not be heard over the noise, even when using a bullhorn. KKKuanell left the area about 8 minutes later, having been unsuccessful in attempting to speak. He returned soon after with more supporters and attempted to speak again, but the counter-protests continued. Riot police were readied in case of violence between the two groups.

KKKuanell eventually made a speech on another street away from Horn's house. The speech included chants of "black power" and the exhortation for blacks to ignore "white law." The Black Panther party he leads has been connected to death threats made to Joe Horn on the District Attorney's answering machine.
