Some of the racially derogatory comments made by the New Black Panthers chief that raised brows during Bubbas Tampa Bay-based radio show included the following racial rant:
Let me tell you, the things thats about to happen, to these honkeys, these crackers, these pigs, these pink people, these - people. It has been long overdue. My prize right now this evening
is gonna be the bounty, the arrest, dead or alive, for George Zimmerman. You feel me?

A few days after using Bubbas show to make the infuriating racial remarks, the new Black Panthers Chief of Staff was interviewed by Tampa News 10 reporter Melanie Michael. The headline for the report was: New Black Panther Party chief of staff Michelle Williams apologizes after George Zimmerman radio outburst. However, in the interview conducted by Melanie Michael, there doesn't seem to be an apology, only the Tampa Bay 10 News headline that claims Williams apologized.
According to Melanie Michael, Williams spoke openly. "My words were out of anger. I did not incite, I did not promote, nor did I encourage anyone to go and pick up a gun," Williams told Melanie Michael, which was apparently enough for Tampa Bay News 10 to label her remarks an apology.
Michelle Williams is no stranger to police. Williams, once known as Michelle Conyers, has allegedly been arrested on multiple charges in the past, ranging from aggravated assault with a handgun to fraudulent use of personal information, fraudulent use of a credit card, petty theft, two counts of grand theft, two counts of forgery and exploitation of an elderly person, according to a separate Channel 10 News report.
The Tampa Bay 10 News report by Melanie Michael raised more eyebrows and the station was bombarded by email, partly because of the headline's claim that William had apologized for her racial rant when the interview showed a tearful but defiant Williams.
