“The motive for his blatant lies are as clear as they are racist,” El-Shabazz wrote. “It is widely known that Mr. Briggs is in the pocket of those in our community who seek to inject their racist views into this important race.”
El-Shabazz, who is African-American, offered no evidence that Briggs, who is white, was motivated by race or acting on behalf of anyone but his readers.
