By Kenny Anthony

 

Melanoid people should be very familiar with the exceedingly dangerous Bedwench archetype. Some of the most typical examples in mainstream media that we could easily point to would be Sage Steele, Omarosa Manigault, and Michelle Malkin. In pop culture, TV shows such as Scandal, starring Kerry Washington who plays a character named Olivia Pope, a Black woman that is sexually submissive for white corporate men, has a massive cult-like following in the Black feminist/Negro Bedwench community. The same cult-like following exists in the Cosplay community, and Negro Bedwenches tend to be heavily involved with the anime movement. On social media, known trolls like Feminista Jones fit the Bedwench prototype, and those like her make a living by hating Black men that aren’t in the LGBTQ community. But for anybody still playing catch-up, here’s a detailed run-through of what we’re dealing with.

A Negro Bedwench in the 21st Century is a Black woman that’s willing to go above and beyond to satisfy non-Black males & defend the white-male power structure. These women are gatekeepers for white supremacy, and generally have an intense feeling of disdain for Black people, especially Black men. So much so, it would be practically impossible to tell a white supremacist and Black feminist apart when the conversation topic is centered around straight Black males.

Furthermore, the goal of a Negro Bedwench is to be accepted, sexually disrespected, protected, and unreservedly dominated by a white male, regardless of his social class & personal financial position. However, they consider anybody non-Black as “the next best thing”. It’s extremely common for a Negro Bedwench to have a Hispanic, Asian or Middle-Eastern partner.

The Bunny Ruckus Negro Bedwench is a different branch of the standard Negro Bedwench. Like the standard Negro Bedwench, the Bunny Ruckus panders to the ruling demographic by exuding self-hatred and regurgitating white supremacist talking-points. The difference is that they’re usually middle-aged, visually unattractive and overweight by society’s standards. You’re likely to see them with raggedy hair (occasionally blonde), and it’s usually a cheap wig or weave. Also, they tend perpetuate the “loud obnoxious sassy Black woman” stereotype in exchange for white amusement. These qualities make those in the dominant society comfortable around the Bunny Ruckus because their egos never feel threatened. Donald Trump mascots and white supremacy collaborators, Diamond and Silk, are the epitome of The Bunny Ruckus Negro Bedwench.

Another example of the Bunny Ruckus Negro Bedwench would be Mollena Williams-Hass, 47, a self-proclaimed Feminist and writer. Below is a picture of Mollena Williams-Hass with her husband, Georg Hass.

Her blog, titled “The Perverted Negress”, is one that paints a vivid picture of her numerous Bedwench escapades & daily slave-like routines. She claims that her obsession with slavery began at 8 years of age, specifically when she was watching the American television miniseries based on Alex Haley’s 1976 novel, Roots. Here is a quote from her speaking about the experience:

I have fantasies about really bad things. If you go back and look at what feminism is about, it’s about us taking charge of our bodies and our destinies. The ability to choose a master/slave relationship is a mark of how far feminism has come.”

Her suspected white supremacist husband (Georg Friedrich Haas), has said that he plans on promoting this lifestyle to the younger generation. Georg stated that he hopes to “embolden younger people”, and that he’s already started to do so with his students. Mollena states that when she was first introduced to the “Kink Community”, Black people that were already a part of it were totally against master-slave relationships. She said that they were prepared to be violent if a Black person took the role of a slave. But according to Mollena, these threats did not make her refrain from such activities.

These are Mollena’s 2009 comments in an interview with Andrea Plaid from Racialicious: “I think my ancestors would be delighted that I can fucking choose to do this for a few bloody hours. I can go into the Big Ass Ice Cream Parlor of Racism and have a sample spoon, and leave. I’m not trapped there being force fed the Rocky Road Ice Cream of Oppression until I am sick.”

It must be mentioned that Mollena overcompensates by parading herself as Pro-Black on social media platforms, and she regularly has a Black-Power fist as her profile picture (twitter: @Mollena).

Not only does she expose the hidden agenda of present day Black Feminism, she shows us that the Black feminist mentality is pseudo, toxic, counter-productive, irrational and irresponsible. It’s simply regurgitated Misandrynoir rhetoric from emotionally hurt women that need healing.

Feminism (as we know it), was introduced to the Black Community to divide and conquer the Black nuclear family by promoting the “independent woman” ploy, which is an ideology that no other community subscribes to. This was used to destroy the energy and momentum of Black Civil Rights groups such as The Black Panther Party, and switch our focus onto matters that were never a real cause for concern. By doing this, the importance and relevance of the Black alphamale became null and void, and the carefully orchestrated welfare obligations (not being eligible if you had a man in the home), meant that Black women no longer felt like they needed Black men to love, support and provide.

Also, the feminist movement was pioneered by open white supremacists such as Susan B. Anthony, a woman that famously said: “I will cut off this right arm of mine before I will ever work or demand the ballot for the Negro and not the woman”. It’s important to add that white feminists revere and regularly pay tributes to Susan. This clearly indicates that the “camaraderie” and “white allyship” among Black and white feminists is truly non-existent & disingenuous. White feminists have never cared about Black women’s issues, and they’re known to practice misogynoir more than any other group.

Black females are not seen or treated as women by society, the treatment of Sandra Bland and the violent incident in McKinney, Texas, 2015, involving the white supremacist cop Eric Casebolt & 15-year-old Dajerria Becton proves this. We have not received our rights as Black people, so until we’ve successfully overcome our first hurdle, it’s ridiculously illogical for a person that’s only viewed as Black to fight for something which doesn’t apply to them.

While Black feminists continue to be duped by faux women’s empowerment, 52% of white women voted for a known sexist, misogynist, chauvinist and racist, Donald Trump, because white women understand the concept of race first. The white female voters knew that Trump would be persevering whiteness once elected as president, so they got on code and jumped on team white supremacy. They managed to temporarily pause the gender-specific war that’s happening in their community, and they rightfully prioritized the self-preservation of their people. Black feminists are incapable of practicing this concept because they’re too busy being used as pawns by white feminists. They’ve been tricked into schemes such as the anti “cat-calling” movement, which is essentially just white feminists trying to criminalize the straight Black male image.

If one of our greatest leaders, such as The Most Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, presented an immediate remedy which could kill white supremacy in 24 hours, Black feminists and the Black LGBTQ community would jeopardize our livelihoods over the petty personal discrepancies that they have with the Nation of Islam & their teachings. Which again, highlights the huge differences between white feminism and Black feminism, and it lets us know that Black feminism has nothing to do with the advancement of our race. Overall, Black feminists have achieved nothing on a grand-scale for Black people since its inception, especially in comparison to groups which they’ve openly disrespected such as The Black Panther Party and The Nation of Islam.

If we were to go by the definition, egalitarian feminism would play integral role in uplifting Black women, however, today’s current practice is the complete opposite.

While we continue to be at war with white supremacy, our number one focus as Melanoid people should be self-preservation by any means necessary. Our advice: Be alertdo not let your children go outside unsupervisedconnect with like-minded Melanoid peoplecreate international allies, and exercise your Second Amendment.

Making Good on an Unfulfilled Promise, the Battle for Reparations Continues https://www.melanoidnation.org/making-good-on-an-unfulfilled-promise-the-battle-for-reparations-continues/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/making-good-on-an-unfulfilled-promise-the-battle-for-reparations-continues/#comments Mon, 20 Feb 2017 14:33:04 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=3908 By Amy Lukau

A Michigan Congressman has re-introduced legislation to provide reparations to African Americans before the 115th Congress.

At 87 years old John Conyers is unrelenting. The legislation, known as H.R. 40 seeks to do the following:
“To address the fundamental injustice, cruelty, brutality, and inhumanity of slavery in the United States and the 13 American colonies between 1619 and 1865 and to establish a commission to study and consider a national apology and proposal for reparations for the institution of slavery, its subsequent de jure and de facto racial and economic discrimination against African-Americans, and the impact of these forces on living African-Americans, to make recommendations to the Congress on appropriate remedies, and for other purposes.”

Conyers said, “I’m not giving up” and that “slavery is a blemish on this nation’s history, and until it is formally addressed, our country’s story will remain marked by this blight.”

Beginning in 1989, Conyers a member of the House Judiciary Committee has repeatedly introduced HR. 40, a bill that would establish a commission to examine the institution of slavery in the U.S. and its early colonies, and provide appropriate recommendations.

On August 18 2016, the United Nations concluded the history of slavery in the United States justifies reparations for African Americans, “In particular, the legacy of colonial history, enslavement, racial subordination and segregation, racial terrorism and racial inequality in the United States remains a serious challenge, as there has been no real commitment to reparations and to truth and reconciliation for people of African descent,” the report stated. “Contemporary police killings and the trauma that they create are reminiscent of the past racial terror of lynching.”

Some would argue that former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton offered apologies, however, their action were merely symbolic that purposely left out monetary claims.

The U.S. and select nations of the world have provided reparations to marginalized groups in the past, for example in 1980 for Japanese Americans who were placed in U.S. internment camps during World War II, restoration of lands to Native Americans, and the billions that Germany paid to Jewish Holocaust survivors.

Conyers bill, H.R. 40, is numbered in recognition of the unfulfilled promise to freed slaves of “40 acres and a mule.”

The harm caused by slavery has impacted descendants. After decades of Jim Crow segregation there has been racial discrimination and policies that still affect many African-Americans today in education, housing, healthcare, and the criminal justice system Conyers told Congress in a letter.

Three Executive Orders In: A Script from an Old Playbook https://www.melanoidnation.org/three-executive-orders-in-a-script-from-an-old-playbook/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/three-executive-orders-in-a-script-from-an-old-playbook/#comments Fri, 10 Feb 2017 13:19:20 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=3831 By Amy Lukau

This past week, the American people saw the highly contested confirmation of Jeff Sessions take place. And it was yesterday that many in the black community, aware of Sessions political ideology were in no way surprised by the three executive orders signed by President Trump.

The newly minted Attorney General is the head of the Department of Justice. For those who are unaware, the Department of Justice (DOJ) is a cabinet-level agency responsible for enforcing the laws of the United States federal government. DOJ ensures public safety against foreign and domestic threats, including terrorism, and preventing crime.

The three executive orders will focus on “gang members, drug dealers, drug cartels and crimes against law enforcement officers.” The orders also give more authority to law enforcement.

President Trump referred to these orders as “public safety” orders reducing “the threat of rising crime.” The President then went on to say “I am directing the Department of Justice to reduce crimes and crimes of violence against law enforcement officers.” “It’s a shame, what has been happening to our great, our truly great, law enforcement officers. That is going to stop today.”

During his confirmation ceremony, Sessions said the U.S. has “a crime problem” and then went on to say “I wish the rise that we’re seeing in crime in America today were some sort of aberration or a blip. My best judgement, having been involved in criminal law enforcement for many years, is that this is a dangerous, permanent trend that puts the health and safety of America at risk.”

If one follows current events, the executive orders should not be an absolute shocker. Last week at the beginning of Black History Month, Pastor Darrell Scott in meeting with the President said he met with local gang leaders in Chicago.

“They’re going to commit that if they lower the body count, we come and do some social programs. They want to work with this administration. THEY reached out. I didn’t reach out to them” Scott stated.

It was confirmed later on in the week that the meeting with local gang members never occurred. Scott stated that he had ‘misspoke’ due to lack of sleep.

Nevertheless, those watching closely saw his statement for what it was, a political performance play. Those in the black community were indirectly being told what would happen in our inner cities if crime did not quell. The stage had been set.

The President made reference to “the threat of rising crime” while there has been constant outcry by those in the black community after police shootings of black civilians. President Trump did not mention accountability measures that police should be subject to when speaking of enforcement reform.

In 2016 1,153 people were killed by police, according to KilledByPolice.net.

http://www.killedbypolice.net/kbp2016.html

The President has misrepresented crime statistics before. For example, he was correct when he cited a statistic from the Brennan Center for Justice, which found that, in the largest 30 cities, homicides increased by 14 percent from 2015 to 2016. But in that data set, one outlier city – Chicago – was responsible for 43.7 percent of the total increase in homicide rates in 2016.

These executive orders have a quotidian aura to them. Reminiscent of the time Bill Clinton presided over the largest increase in federal and state prison inmates of any president in American history. Clinton supported the 100-to-1 sentencing disparity for crack versus powder cocaine, which produced staggering racial injustice in sentencing and boosted funding for drug-law enforcement.

Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow explained it perfectly, saying that when Clinton left office in 2001, the United States had the highest rate of incarceration in the world. Human Rights Watch reported that in seven states, African Americans constituted 80 to 90 percent of all drug offenders sent to prison, even though they were no more likely than whites to use or sell illegal drugs. Prison admissions for drug offenses reached a level in 2000 for African Americans more than 26 times the level in 1983. All of the presidents since 1980 have contributed to mass incarceration, but as Equal Justice Initiative founder Bryan Stevenson recently observed, “President Clinton’s tenure was the worst.”

The alarm has been triggered. It is up to us as Americans, especially Black Americans to be vigilant in lieu of these orders and act accordingly. Strategies will be needed on how to combat what is already here and say not this time. WE see you.

Black Man & His Son Were Treated Rudely By Owner Of Dry Cleaning Business https://www.melanoidnation.org/black-man-his-son-were-treated-rudely-by-owner-of-dry-cleaning-business/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/black-man-his-son-were-treated-rudely-by-owner-of-dry-cleaning-business/#comments Wed, 03 Feb 2016 19:55:25 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=3185 ATLANTA, GA — For well over a year now, we here at Melanoid Nation have gone to great lengths to provide you with information on a plethora of Black businesses, regardless of whether they’re small business, mid-size business, or large businesses. We have constantly ‘beat the drum’ by informing  (and encouraging) you on how and where to patronize Black-owned businesses, and the following story is yet another example of why we in Black Society don’t have a choice but to support those who support us.

Ben Hill Custom Cleaners is a dry cleaning service located in the Metro Atlanta area, and it is owned by a non-Melanoid person. A Black man and his son pulled up to the drive-thru to pick up his dry cleaned clothes, and was met with an extremely rude reception by the business’s owner. Check out the video below to see the the whole scenario unfold for yourself.

 

There is an old saying that goes, “Go where you are celebrated, not tolerated”. In this case, the owner of Ben Hill Custom Cleaners did not even display the slightest inkling of tolerance for his Black customer(s). Black Society, are THESE the types of people who you trust to give you exemplary customer service?

The Need For Mentorship In Black Society https://www.melanoidnation.org/the-need-for-mentorship-in-black-society/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/the-need-for-mentorship-in-black-society/#comments Tue, 08 Dec 2015 08:59:34 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=2849 The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines a mentor as “someone who teaches or gives help and advice to a less experienced and often younger person”. In Black Society, there lies a misconception that our youth lack the intelligence and/or the motivation to reach great heights in their lives, and in many cases, this couldn’t be farther from the truth. One of the fundamental issues that our youth face as they strive to “get their weight up” in an increasingly competitive society is their lack of mentorship.

One interesting element to consider when addressing this issue is the fact that other racial groups are inclined to be rich in social capital–a system put in place that benefits countless non–Melanoid people–as they continue to ensure that they will have the resources in place to succeed.

 Another sobering aspect in regards to the issue of mentoring in Black Society is that it appears that many of the men and women who once served as mentors for legions of young Black youths are nowhere to be found. In an age of mere children being led by children, it is critical that the life experience and abundant wisdom of some of our elders be utilized to guide our youth as they embark upon their careers.

There is statistical data that strongly supports the call for mentorship…particularly in Black Society. According to information in a 2015 report provided by the Young People’s Perspectives on the Outcomes and Availability of Mentoringthe youth benefit from mentoring in the following ways:

  • 55% more likely to be enrolled in college than those who did not have a mentor.
  •  81% more likely to report participating regularly in sports or extracurricular activities.
  •  More than twice as likely to say they held a leadership position in a club or sports team.
  •  78% more likely to volunteer regularly in their communities.
  •  Nearly nine in ten respondents who had a mentor said they are now interested in becoming mentors.

Although this wasn’t included in the aforementioned itemized statistics, mentoring is also guaranteed to invoke the spirit of entrepreneurship and political/social activism among Melanoid youths, thus empowering them to become greater assets to Black Society and bigger threats to systematic racism/white supremacy which wields a debilitating effect on Melanoid people worldwide.

There Is New Information Revealing Black People’s Exposure To Deadly Vaccines https://www.melanoidnation.org/there-is-new-information-revealing-black-peoples-exposure-to-deadly-vaccines/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/there-is-new-information-revealing-black-peoples-exposure-to-deadly-vaccines/#comments Thu, 22 Oct 2015 01:30:26 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=2768 ATLANTA, GA — This upcoming weekend (Oct. 23-25), a rally has been organized to take place in the Georgia state capital to raise awareness of vaccinations, and the dangers that they bring.

The Vaccine-Injury Awareness League are gathering in front of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to demand mercury-free vaccines. Extensive studies have long linked mercury to debilitating–and deadly–side effects, such as various forms of cancer in adults, and autism in vaccinated newborns.

Among the people in attendance this weekend will be Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who delivered a pre-recorded message in regards to the disturbing trend of the negative side effects of vaccines. The video message of Kennedy was viewed by a gathering of a predominately Black crowd at a follow-up meeting to October 10th’s historic “Justice Or Else” rally. Kennedy mentioned that these poisonous vaccines are being dumped into Black areas across the country, with many young Melanoid children experiencing autism at an unprecedented rate. The majority of those affected by these harmful vaccines are Black boys, which could also very well explain the correlation with the miseducation (and eventual incarceration due to being denied opportunities during their formative years) they receive all too often.

Kennedy also went on to state that mercury is 1,000 times more fatal than lead, and that the “problem with African-Americans are the mercury-filled vaccines that make their way into your communities. This is similar to the infamous and wicked Tuskegee syphillis experiment exposed by my uncle in the 1970s.”

In a related story that appears to be more than coincidental, members of the white Jewish community have expressed the need for vaccines with kosher ingredients to ensure that it not only infringes upon their religious beliefs, but also keeps them exempt from being exposed to the mercury-filled vaccines.

Here is the video of Robert F. Kennedy’s message.

Based on the demographics of the area where his shopping trip took place on Monday (Whitefish Bay), it would be a safe bet to conclude that there aren’t many Melanoid people in the vicinity ost would automatically assume that he was either a professional athlete and/or a man of means. Contrary to conventional belief, the employees of Schwanke-Kasten had an opposing perception of Henson.

“They (workers of Schwanke-Kasten) locked the door and told me to go away. After I rang the doorbell twice everyone went to the back. No one answered the door or told me what was going on,” Henson wrote on his Instagram account that was later removed for some reason. Henson was followed by two police cars, which parked across the street and watched him for approximately 5 minutes.

After being interrogated about his reasons for being outside of the jewelry store, cops eventually explained to the store’s employees that “it was safe” for him to come into the store to look at a watch that he (Henson) wanted to see. “The employees finally came out of the back and proceeded to conduct business like they previously were as we walked up,” Henson wrote on the now deleted Instagram post.

The cops ran his license plates, and eventually the Milwaukee Bucks power forward was escorted inside the store by the officers.

According to a statement written by the store owner on Monday night, Henson’s vehicle was deemed “suspicious” because of the license plate, which was issued by the dealer.

Henson also wrote in the Instagram post that “This was one of the most degrading and racially prejudice things I’ve ever experienced in life and wouldn’t wish this on anyone. This store needs to be called out, and that’s what I’m doing.”

Here’s John Henson’s reaction to the situation.

Black Man Killed By Race Soldier In Florida While Waiting On Tow Truck https://www.melanoidnation.org/black-man-killed-by-race-soldier-in-florida-while-waiting-on-tow-truck/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/black-man-killed-by-race-soldier-in-florida-while-waiting-on-tow-truck/#comments Mon, 19 Oct 2015 17:20:35 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=2739 PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL — A person should never expect to have their life taken away while seeking emergency assistance. In the case of 31-year-old Corey Jones, that’s exactly what happened to him.

Mr. Jones, who awaited a tow truck on the side of Interstate 95 after his vehicle stopped working in the wee hours of yesterday morning (Oct. 18), was shot and killed by a race soldier cop. The slain Jones was identified by his brother, who says that he was contacted by Corey (stating that he was in need of a tow truck) shortly before he (Corey) was murdered.

Corey Jones was a drummer who played in many bands and churches in the area.

The investigation of this case has been turned over to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO). As usual in the event of race soldiers killing Melanoid people, the officer in question has been placed on paid administrative leave.

Gwen Jimmere: Taking It One Step Further By Taking True Ownership Of Her Products https://www.melanoidnation.org/gwen-jimmere-taking-it-one-step-further-by-taking-true-ownership-of-her-products/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/gwen-jimmere-taking-it-one-step-further-by-taking-true-ownership-of-her-products/#comments Sun, 18 Oct 2015 20:43:22 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=2720 In recent years, much discussion has taken place about the need for ownership in Black Society in regards to building a viable economic base that can counter–and compete with–the economy of the dominant society. One woman has adhered to such principles of ownership and is now a living example of how it’s done.

Gwen Jimmere is the CEO and Founder of NATURALICIOUSa natural hair care company that refers to themselves as a “beauty innovation company”, according to the company’s website. After what started out as a passion project, Ms. Jimmere has grown her company exponentially, with her products now on the shelves of major retailers such as Whole Foods Markets throughout the U.S., Trinidad, Indonesia, and she’s looking to have distribution in South Africa. If that wasn’t enough, she owns the patent on her collection of products.

With a background in marketing and communications, she wanted to create something that “to ensure ownership, as well as a legacy for my company” she said in a recent interview that she had with Black EnterpriseIn addition to being the CEO of her own company, she also co-owns Pitch Proofa program where she coaches coaches and trains small business owners on how to prepare for, enter and win business pitch competitions, as well as how to successfully attract equity investment opportunities. She also she consults entrepreneurs on business strategy, marketing, advertising and distribution.

Gwen Jimmere has taken her destiny into her own hands by taking the initiative to pursue ownership of a collection of products that she has created.

Black College Students Were Handcuffed Because White Customers Complained Of Being ‘Uncomfortable’ Around Them https://www.melanoidnation.org/black-college-students-were-handcuffed-because-white-customers-complained-of-being-uncomfortable-around-them/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/black-college-students-were-handcuffed-because-white-customers-complained-of-being-uncomfortable-around-them/#comments Thu, 15 Oct 2015 21:06:36 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=2688 WASHINGTON, D.C. — With the nation’s capital city witnessing a high usage rate of racial profiling phone apps, such as SketchFactor  and participating in online platforms like Operation GroupMe, it comes as no surprise that innocent Melanoid civilians in D.C. are subject to harassment and danger by members of the dominant society.

Earlier this week, 18-year-old Jason Goolsby and his friend–both students of Howard University–were just hanging out near an ATM when police approached them under the guise of Goolsby and his friend having met the descriptions of being “suspicious”. According to the cops, this “suspicious” person in question had allegedly been seen in the same area by (bank) customers who complained of being “uncomfortable”; with the possible intent on robbing people.

The Metro Police (in D.C.) reports read that three individuals were approached by the cops, and one ran away, which resulted in a chase. Here’s what the report read:

“The individual resisted, and was handcuffed while resisting after he refused to stop,” the report stated. “The person making the video was interfering with police, and was also detained while the incident was investigated.’

Goolsby, whose Twitter account is @darealbighomiee, tweeted the following video that recorded the police harassment:

After seeing this incident unfold, it becomes much clearer as to why these phone apps are extremely popular among white supremacists in the D.C. area. One way that we as Melanoid people can counter this harassment is for us to also download these apps, and report suspicious–and potentially threatening–behavior coming from suspects and predators of the dominant society.

Here is a link to the Jason Goolsby story.
