Georgia – Melanoid Nation Foundation https://www.melanoidnation.org Tue, 01 Mar 2016 21:14:50 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 There Is Another Klan Rally That Is Scheduled To Take Place In April https://www.melanoidnation.org/there-is-another-klan-rally-that-is-scheduled-to-take-place-in-april/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/there-is-another-klan-rally-that-is-scheduled-to-take-place-in-april/#comments Tue, 01 Mar 2016 21:14:50 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=3299 STONE MOUNTAIN, GA — After this past weekend’s melee that ensued in Anaheim, CA that saw Klan protesters confront Black citizens, another rally has been slated to take place across the country during a traditionally notorious month.

On Saturday, April 23, 2016, Klan members and other white extremists (as well as their sympathizers) will be coming together at Stone Mountain, GA at 11:00AM (Eastern Time).

Word of this upcoming event has been circulated by several internet-based forums, particularly the white supremacist site known as stormfront.orgHowever, the most notable site in which the news has spread is Facebook, the same site which has gone to great lengths to shut down any and every significant Black movement and/or sharing of information, as well as prominent Black people who use their platform on Facebook to challenge systematic racism/white supremacy.

Follow this link to view the Facebook event page for this upcoming event.

Melanoid people should be placed on advance notice about events such as this, because innocent Black people could have their lives spared by doing so in the event that these white extremists get emboldened to carry out attacks on the Black citizens of Stone Mountain and surrounding areas.

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?

KKK Looks To ‘Advance Klan Country’ In Georgia, Gains an Unlikely Ally In The Process https://www.melanoidnation.org/kkk-looks-to-advance-klan-country-in-georgia-gains-an-unlikely-ally-in-the-process/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/kkk-looks-to-advance-klan-country-in-georgia-gains-an-unlikely-ally-in-the-process/#comments Sun, 15 Nov 2015 18:58:44 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=2894 The Ku Klux Klan wants to literally mark their territory in the state of Georgia.

After the white extremist group  saw their requests to adopt-a-mile close to the North Carolina border rejected by the Georgia Department of Transportation, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) came to the aid of the Klan by challenging the rejection.

Maya Dillard Smith, Executive Director of Georgia’s ACLU branch, released the following statement:

Accessing the Georgia courts to defend ones constitutional rights is fundamental to protect those very rights. But the state of Georgia believes Georgians only have the right to exercise defense of their most fundamental rights, only if the state says so. It’s that kind of unchecked power that erodes individual liberty guaranteed to each Georgian by the U.S. and Georgia state Constitution.

Although the Klan technically does have the right to “adopt-a-mile”, perhaps the most interesting issue about this story is the ACLU’s willingness to assist the hate group in having their requests granted by the state. The mile that the KKK looks to adopt is located on Route 515 near the border of North Carolina.

If this appeal is granted to the Klan, this would send a vivid and threatening statement to Melanoid people who are living, working, and/or traveling around or through this stretch of highway.

Here is a video showing the Klan’s appeal to adopt a mile in North Georgia, which has being in the works for the past three years.

Here is a link to the story.

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.

Farrakhan In The Black Church https://www.melanoidnation.org/black-clergyman-believes-theres-room-for-min-farrakhan-in-the-black-church/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/black-clergyman-believes-theres-room-for-min-farrakhan-in-the-black-church/#comments Wed, 23 Sep 2015 16:49:39 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=2541 ATLANTA, GA — Last week, we featured a story here on Melanoid Nation that involved the Hon. Minister Louis Farrakhan being banned from giving speeches in Charleston, S.C. based on the local Black clergymen (in Charleston)’s conjecture that Minister Farrakhan’s message against racism/white supremacy would be too ‘controversial’.

Fortunately, not all Black clergymen feel this way. An interview has been conducted by Rolling Out that features one man by the name of Dr. F. Keith Slaughter. Dr. Slaughter is the Dean of the Morehouse School of Religion on the campus of the Interdenominational Theological Center in Atlanta. In the interview, he explicitly elaborates on the importance of Farrakhan’s alliance with the Black church.

His (Farrakhan’s) message is consistent with the original and authentic message of liberation that began the Black church in the U.S. We must be reminded that the Black church began as a resistance movement to counterbalance the impact of the racist Christian church, which was/is rooted in White supremacy.

….There are many Black “so-called” leaders whose messages counter the message of Farrakhan … how about Dr. Ben Carson, for instance? I believe we are at a point in our history as an oppressed people whereby we can no longer allow space for “false divisions” based on social constructions to determine whether we support each other or no.

As a Black clergyman himself, Dr. F. Keith Slaughter’s outspokenness on this topic breathes new life into what some Black churches have contrived to be a “controversy”. He sheds light on the outlandishness of certain Black churches’ refusal to be remotely involved with anything that will enlighten–and embolden–their Melanoid members to be Black-first. Not only is there room for Minister Farrakhan in the Black Church, there’s also room in Black Society for Melanoid people who will unapologetically speak truth to power, such as Dr. F. Keith Slaughter.

Here are video clips which show Minister Farrakhan’s year-long travels to various churches around the country, campaigning for the Justice Or Else! movement.

White College Staff Member Gives Black Student Unjust Treatment https://www.melanoidnation.org/white-college-staff-member-gives-black-student-unjust-treatment/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/white-college-staff-member-gives-black-student-unjust-treatment/#comments Thu, 14 May 2015 18:22:49 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=1703 Kennesaw State University student Kevin Bruce is a young Melanoid college student who sought assistance from his advisor just like countless other college students have done in the past. However, his encounter with the advisor’s office wasn’t as pleasant and seamless as he deserved it to be.

In a story featured on Complex’s web site, Mr. Bruce was patiently awaiting assistance from his advisor, when a white woman approached him saying that the police will be called on him for sitting in the lobby of the office waiting for assistance. Mr. Bruce took to Twitter and posted screenshots of his correspondence with the school:

https://twitter.com/IamKB_/status/598702816983719936

 

If you watch the video in the story above, it will clearly show that Mr. Bruce calmly waited in the lobby, but was aggressively approached and threatened by the woman who called the police on him. This just goes to show yet again that many members in the dominant society are coming at us from every angle, even if it entails discouraging our youth’s academic progress.
