Black Students – Melanoid Nation Foundation https://www.melanoidnation.org Wed, 10 Feb 2016 10:17:19 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 White High School Student Delivers Terroristic Threats To Black Students https://www.melanoidnation.org/white-high-school-student-delivers-terroristic-threats-to-black-students/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/white-high-school-student-delivers-terroristic-threats-to-black-students/#comments Wed, 10 Feb 2016 10:16:52 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=3206 MIDDLETOWN, OH — A 15-year-old white student was arrested yesterday after it was shown that he made threats to kill the Black students at his school this past Thursday.

The school known as Middletown High School, has a student body comprising of a majority white student body, but this fact didn’t seem to satisfy the white male student, who was taken into custody upon discovering a note that was written by him describing his intentions of killing Black students in the school. The note was thereafter given to the school’s resource officer, Brandon Highley.

To see images of the racist and threatening note, please view the video below.

According to Cincinnati’s WCPO, both authorities have declined to comment on the matter at hand, instead attempting to reassure both the students and their families that the situation has been properly handled and that everyone is safe.

Middletown High School isn’t the only high school in the state of Ohio to contain cases of savage scholastic racism within its walls. Last month, there was a report of similar treatment of Black students in Pickerington, OH, which is approximately two hours northeast of Middletown, which involved a young Melanoid girl receiving nasty racist taunts and epithets via social media from the white students at that particular school.

In the midst of Middletown High‘s officials and law enforcement’s joint efforts to protect the identity of the white male who threatened to kill Black students, it illustrates another example of the glaring double standard that has been established between young Black teenage boys and their white counterparts.

Black College Football Players Go On Strike To Protest Racist Activities On Campus https://www.melanoidnation.org/black-college-football-players-go-on-strike-to-protest-racist-activities-on-campus/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/black-college-football-players-go-on-strike-to-protest-racist-activities-on-campus/#comments Sun, 08 Nov 2015 18:12:26 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=2873 Fifty-eight of the University of Missouri’s 84 football scholarships go to Black players…all of whom have decided to boycott playing because of their call for the removal of the school’s president, Tim Wolfe.

A statement has been released via Missouri’s Legion of Black Collegians group on Twitter, showing their stance on the matter.

The players are wanting Wolfe gone because of his alleged negligence in dealing with the slew of racist incidences occurring on campus, one of which involved Missouri Students Association president Payton Head–who is Black–called the n word by whites on campus. Many of the university’s students have used the hashtag #ConcernedStudent1950 to show their support for the ongoing movement.

Here is a link to the story.

5 Steps To Success For Melanoid Students (College Edition) https://www.melanoidnation.org/5-steps-to-success-for-melanoid-students-college-edition/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/5-steps-to-success-for-melanoid-students-college-edition/#comments Fri, 25 Sep 2015 18:16:18 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=2553  

For many young Melanoid men and women around the United States this is the beginning of a new adventure for them. They will be attending college at a higher rate than any time in the history of the United States. While they are attending there are some things that they as students may not understand and will have to encounter them head on with no preparation. For many of our young men and women they are first generation college students and do not have the experience of having a relative or close friend to talk to about the upcoming challenges they are likely to face on college campuses. As Melanoid people we attend more predominantly white institutions than HBCUs (historically black universities) and with that an entire different set of circumstances must be dealt with for Melanoid students. The white supremacists know this and for this reason, Melanoid students will have a hard time navigating through the system of higher education. We here at Melanoid Nation have created a few things for Melanoid students to look for while they are on campus this fall:

1. Beware of causes that do not concern you but want your participation

Groups on college campuses want to recruit Melanoid people for their numbers, but do not want their influence or ideas. The feminist groups, LGBT groups and political groups such as the “young conservatives” are just a few groups that want Melanoid people in numbers but there are little to no resources in these groups for Melanoid people.

2. Steer clear of “Multiculturalism” and “Diversity”

On many predominantly white campuses across the country they have created these terms to show that they are not racist but multiculturalism and diversity simply means any “minority” will receive resources or affirmative action, it is not specific. Gay white men and women fall under “minority” status.

3. Beware of the “Campus Coon”

Yes they’re Melanoid people, but they’re on the “coon train”. They are actually more prevalent on college campuses than you think. Steer clear of them because they are also in black organizations such as fraternities, sororities and in faculty.

4. Seek out mentorship

Try to gain mentorship and networking skills from people who have your best interest. Being that you are a Melanoid student you will be pursued by organizations to represent them and their ideology. Make sure to ask any organization you join or think about joining what are the benefits of you joining and what resources do they have specifically for Melanoid people.

5. Avoid being exploited at ALL costs

Your universities may want you to take pictures to be on the campus brochures to help them promote “diversity” and “inclusion” yet you will notice that they are not practicing what they preach. Make sure that you decline all invitations to do so UNLESS they are in contractual agreement to do something for Melanoid students. They do this with other groups all the time so they’ll DEFINITELY do this to Melanoid people. The University of Wisconsin as caught photo shopping diversity into their brochures, so be careful of the white supremacist tactics when dealing with certain people on campus.
