Quanell X (born Quanell Ralph Evans on December 7, 1970, in Los Angeles, California) is a leader of the New Black Panther Party in Houston, Texas. His father, Brian Chris Evans, and mother were both Nation of Islam converts from Los Angeles. After his parents divorced, Quanell moved to Houston to live with his mother and younger brother in the South Acres neighborhood and had attended Worthing High School.
Quanell 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. It was during this time that Quanell claims to have had a life changing conversion and decided he would devote his life to the betterment of African-Americans in Houston.
In September 1990, Quanell was inspired by a Louis Farrakhan speech at Sam Houston Coliseum, and joined the Nation of Islam. The newly dubbed Quanell X quickly became a spokesman in the organization.
In July 1992, Quanell 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, Quanell 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."
"If 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."
Quanell formed a paramilitary group named "MFOI", for "Mental Freedom Obtains Independence." The new faction did not attract significant membership. After the MFOI failed, Quanell joined the New Black Panther Party under the leadership of Khalid Abdul Muhammad; he is now a local leader of the organization.
Since becoming a leader of the New Black Panthers, Quanell has made himself and his views heard through public demonstrations and assistance with the surrender of outstanding suspects to law enforcement agencies.
In 1999, at the trial of John William King for the 1998 slaying of James Byrd, Jr., Quanell and his entourage briefly disrupted proceedings.
Jeffrey Battle served as a bodyguard for Quanell 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, Quanell 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, Quanell 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 Quanell forcibly from the chamber.
Quanell X has gotten into the fray calling for Chuck Rosenthal's resignation following the email scandal has shown that he had sent and received racist messages, and has organized a rally to take place outside the county courthouse January 24, 2008
Main article: Joe Horn shooting controversy
Quanell 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.
Quanell, who believes the shootings may have been racially motivated approached Horn's house to speak to the media. He was greatly outnumbered 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. Quanell could not be heard over the noise, even when using a bullhorn. Quanell 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.
After Quannel's last attempt to get to hurt another white person, the city of Pasadena, Texas has made it illegal to protest in front of a person's private residence. I am glad that the people of Pasadena stood up against this racist jerk. He hates whites and he has his nose in everything that has to do with hurting whites in any way. If he can assist in the removal of a white politician, government employee or state or local official, he will do everything in his power to do so, and in Houston, the local media gives him a voice. He is now working to remove a local prosecutor from office and he and his supporters have been successful in doing so.
The Nation of Islam, the Black Panther Party and all these related organizations are nothing but the black man's KKK. These are the kind of people that now support the Democratic party.
