Piece, be Steel: Black Church Members in Minnesota ‘Stay Prayed Up’…AND Proactive

Melanoid Nation — Sat, 20 Jun 2015 02:39:22 +0000

After race soldier Dylann Roof’s terroristic murders of nine innocent Melanoid church members in Charleston, South Carolina on Wednesday, the decision of Black Christians to “turn the other cheek” is no longer an option, if they want to ensure their survival.

A group of Black churchgoers in Minneapolis have wisely chosen to adhere to the “eye for an eye” method, when it comes to protecting their fellow members and pastor. Pastor Larry Cook, head of the Real Believers Faith Center in north Minneapolis, says that his church was hit with threats that he took seriously. He says, “We just took wisdom from the Word. The Bible says to be wise as serpents, but harmless as doves”, in reference to staying vigilant and fearless in the face of potential attacks upon the church, while simultaneously remaining level-headed in the process. “We think it provides us a chance to defend ourselves.”

In this current race war waged on the masses of innocent Melanoid people, the members of Real Believers Faith Center are only asking for the right to assemble and worship in peace without their lives being threatened by white extremist race soldiers.

Are Black People Changing Their Minds About Gun Ownership?

Melanoid Nation — Sat, 06 Jun 2015 18:52:27 +0000

Can you recall a time in the not-so-distant past when there was a major push in Black Society to discourage and/or disarm Melanoid people from the firearms they owned? From persuasive ads featuring celebrities, to the fly-by-night gun buyback programs that sprung up in urban areas around the country, the common misconception held among those in the dominant society was that the root of the issue of gun violence stemmed from Melanoid people in this country. The propaganda seemed to be working its magic on the minds of Melanoid people, until now.

Like everything else in life, however, times–and the minds of the people who live it–change. With the recent senseless killings of Black men, women, and children at the hands of law enforcement and white extremist vigilantes, the concept of implementing gun control within Black Society is generally no longer even being considered among the oppressed individuals of this “free country” who stand on the wrong end of injustice. Much of our Melanoid family around the country is taking the initiative to exercise the same rights that their non-Black counterparts have long used , and are getting armed themselves. For years following the end of the era of stand-up firearm-bearing Blacks such as the Black Panther Party of the 60s and 70s, there was a stereotypical notion in Black Society that the only people who owned firearms were the “good ol’ boys” of the dominant society, criminals, and the standard gun connoisseur who we witness at the gun shows.

Last year, The New York Times featured a report that covers the issue of Black gun ownership in America. Check it out in the video below.

As a means of proactively dealing with the escalated aggressive acts of racism in this country, many Blacks are beginning to form gun clubs, which is what members of the dominant society have done since the early days of this country. We’ve even witnessed Black gun advocates create platforms on sites such as YouTube, where they’ve amassed a substantial following. In the process, they’ve dispelled (some of) Black Society’s preconceived notions of what a gun owner should look like. If people in the dominant society embrace their rights to defend themselves, then shouldn’t we as Melanoid people do the same?

Black Man in Georgia “Flips the Script” on Would-Be Carjacker

Melanoid Nation — Wed, 27 May 2015 17:39:34 +0000

A Melanoid man in the Atlanta area decided to take matters in his own hands to defend his life.

Hashim Fannin was just minding his own business one afternoon earlier this month, when a 61-year-old white male by the name of Edgar Horn decided to casually enter Fannin’s vehicle and utter the question, “You know what this is?” Mr. Fannin, rightfully assuming he was in the process of a robbery attempt, immediately got his firearm and drew down upon Horn.

“You went to bed and woke up an idiot?” Fannin recalled telling Horn. “You messed up — big time.” Check out the scenario in the video clip below.

Mr. Fannin’s situation with the would-be carjacker serves as a reminder for the need for Melanated people to protect themselves from thugs such as Edgar Horn.
