Written by: Tiffany Tubman

August 27, 2017

 

On top of the injustices in economics, education, entertainment, labor, law, religion, politics, and sex, the week has proven that we are moving towards an open season of overt racism and injustice worldwide. We focus on events in the United States, as they are world leaders, but we must all remember the SYSTEM OF WHITE SUPREMACY is global.

As Melanoid people, we need to be aware of every situation going on around us. This does not revert the HYON mentality. However, knowledge is power and we can study other group discrimination and reactions to improve our tactics. Think about being a member of XYZ football team. This week XYZ is playing ABC Football team. Last week ABC played AA Football team. So, you might not really care about AA football team because your focus is on ABC; however, you study that footage to learn.

This is the footage in review:

  1. Transgender troop ban-No more acceptance AND removal of current transgendered officers
  2. Trump pardons Arpaio
  3. Gorka resigns/WH states he was fired
  4. North Korea missiles launched
  5. President request open war support for Afghanistan
  6. Mueller on Flynn and Manafort in Russia investigation
  7. Hurricane Harvey
  8. Sierra Leone Mudslide
  9. MSM explores connections between alt-right terrorism and Russia

As we review these events, of highlight is the Sierra Leone Mudslide. As Sierra Leone battles a major tragedy, the world does not seem to care. Preceding Hurricane Harvey in Texas and parts of Arkansas, on August 14, after 3 days of heavy rains, a massive landslide in and around Sierra Leone’s capital Freetown created a national emergency that is fast becoming one of Africa’s worst disasters in recent memory.

The city’s cry for urgent support was largely met with silence. There have been no celebrity appeals, concerts, or large funding campaigns, beyond the typical appeals from relief agencies. No outpouring of sympathy, Facebook photo filters to show support, or one-minute silences observed before major sports events in Europe—or in Africa for that matter. At least 500 people are dead, 800 are missing, and 20,000 people have been displaced from their homes. Thousands of children have been orphaned.

AS of August 24, 2017, Sierra Leone has received $100,000 in aide from USAID and Canada is expected to send an additional $250,000 but that has not yet been received yet. As opposed to the disasters that hit Paris and Beirut in 2015, the US provided $20 million in aid to each city. There was a dramatic difference in response and coverage of disasters and terrorist attacks that were met with global empathy and coverage.

The famine endangering 20 million lives in South Sudan, Nigeria, Somalia, and Yemen this year has also been met with a slow response—amounts donated to the UN have valued each life at roughly $43. Additionally, the Trump Administration has approved 10 civilians, including 3 children killed in a raid by foreign and Somali forces in southern Somalia.  The United States is backing Somali raids for counter-terrorism operations.

There is a growing US military involvement in the Horn of Africa after Trump approved expanded operations against the al-Qaida-linked extremist group al-Shabab. The farmers and children were killed one by one after soldiers stormed into Barire village early Friday, August 25, 2017. Their bloodied bodies left on display. This is another example of the global system of white supremacy and the global epidemic of mass genocide on Melanoid people. These lives do not matter.

Another highlight is the Trump Administration Pardon on Sheriff Joe Arpaio. In his 20 years of power Arpaio referred to his jails as “concentration camps” and prisoners died at an alarming rate without explanation. One of his jailers nearly broke the neck of a paraplegic man who had the temerity to ask for a catheter. He often marched Latino prisoners into a segregated area with electric fencing. A black woman, Ambrett Spencer, was forced to give birth shackled in a cage with no medical support.

Sheriff Joe had a Phoenix New Times reporter arrested for covering his heinous and egregious acts at the Maricopa County Jails. This is something we can be sure Trump supports as he is known for his hostility towards media, CNN, and all noted “fake news” outlets. Under Arpaio, the MCSO failed to investigate hundreds of sex abuse cases, many of which involved children.

While Joe lacked money to provide adequate care to inmates, many going without enough food or medication, he somehow found time and money to send a deputy to Hawaii to look for then current President Barack Obama’s birth certificate. By 2013, a federal judge confirmed what literally everyone in Phoenix knew, Joe had been racially profiling Latinos, so he hired a PI to investigate the judge and his wife. He also kept on profiling people, which is why he got charged with contempt of court and was found guilty.

Joe also tried to destroy some of the hard drives containing material that was supposed to be turned over to the court and by 2015, his fondness for racial profiling has cost the county more than $44 million on top of the lives her ruined. His deputies also cost the county millions to settle lawsuits, where his deputies stood by as an inmate was brutally beaten among many other inhumane acts towards non-white people.

No surprise Trump could identify and sympathize with this blatant white supremacist. Per Congresswoman Maxine Waters, “Trump disrespects minorities, lifts up white nationalists, demeans women & every day finds a way to undermine civil rights. He is deplorable”. By pardoning Arpaio, Donald Trump just declared war on justice, equality, and the rule of law. We have a true villain in the White House. This Presidency is a direct threat to the safety and well-being of people of color in this country and worldwide.

On the pardon, Trump tweets the following:

Yet another reminder that we are living with the goal of survival in this government approved and led Racial Holy War. Again, your melanin makes you a target and apart of the war regardless to your desire to be included or not. There has been recent video footage released from the Charlottesville Terror Rally showing that a race solider stood idly by as a white supremacist shouts “Hey nigger” and attempts to shot an unarmed black man. However, the safety was on so he withdrew the weapon, released the safety and shot towards the unarmed black man into a crowd of people.

Video of Attempted Murder

Thus, Charlottesville Police say the man in the video, later identified as KKK Imperial Wizard, Richard Wilson Preston, was charged with discharging a firearm within 1,000 feet of a school. Clearly after viewing the video, the charge should have been attempted murder with a hate crime penalty added. He came to the march wearing a Kevlar vest and with a loaded firearm. At this point, all Melanoid people need to be protecting ourselves and practicing our Second Amendment right. Domestic terrorism is at an all-time national high and white supremacist are murdering non-white people with impunity.

Also, Donald Trump has weaponized the local police departments with military grade arsenal, a move unprecedented in U.S. history. This presidential pardon to Sheriff Arpaio is a dog whistle to the white supremacists that either way, they will be free to continue these horrible crimes. Even if a jury convicts, the president will pardon the offenses of these “very fine people”.

There are now several investigations ongoing to link the Charlottesville Terrorism incident to Russia and Nazi activity worldwide. So far, investigations have identified Richard Spencer’s wife, Nina Kouprianova, a Russian propagandist whose writings (under the pen name Nina Byzantina) mirror the Kremlin’s rhetoric, according to the Daily Beast.

CNN Covers Alt-Right and Russia Connection

Melanoid family, we have open discrimination on all once thought to be protected groups and an active criminal mob in the White House. Despite all levels of federal investigations, we must plan for this Rahowa to continue. Do not get your hopes up on the impeachment the dominant society has been discussing for the past 8 months. Although some people openly condemn his actions, no government leader or group has taken any action to stop Donald Trump. At this point, we must demand action. We must demand meaningful action that will destroy this system of global white supremacy and replace it with a system of justice for mankind, both domestically and internationally.

As Hurricane Harvey unfolds, Melanoid Nation will keep you aware of the impact to our communities and what we can do to help. If we want to ensure our people get help, we must donate to our people directly. The plan will be communicated to you and we will keep you up to date with the situation affecting Melanoid people in Texas and Arkansas.

We cannot depend on the federal government to provide the necessary aid as it has now been discovered that Trump withdrew infrastructure requirements just days before the hurricane.

 

For those boycotting the NFL, we have provided a list of their sponsors. Not watching the game may not have a significant enough impact so we have to make sure we do not support NFL merchandise or sponsors.

Reachfolk: The Online Platform That’s Connecting Black People On The Go https://www.melanoidnation.org/reachfolk-the-online-platform-thats-connecting-black-people-on-the-go/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/reachfolk-the-online-platform-thats-connecting-black-people-on-the-go/#comments Wed, 14 Sep 2016 08:53:50 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=3614 Today’s social climate has understandably cultivated the ‘Buy Black’ spirit in a manner that perhaps we haven’t witnessed since the days preceding desegregation in this country, when we had no other choice but to support each other economically. Melanoid people across the country have developed a genuine interest in patronizing and consuming Black-Owned businesses, services, and products. However, many grown increasingly frustrated with the process of locating such businesses to support, particularly when they’re traveling and/or moving to new cities across the country. If you’re one of the previously mentioned Melanoid people who are dealing with such a challenge, then don’t worry, because ‘There’s an app for that!’

For those who may be wondering, this app is named Reachfolkit’s about to make Black Society’s life a little easier–one city at a time. Created by podcaster and author Daniel FreeMan (who wrote the Bestselling book titled: How To Make A Dollar Out Of Fifteen Cents!), the platform is currently in its beta stages, and a campaign to raise the funds to complete the development of the app has been launched which can found by following this link.

Whether you’re looking for a Black Owned hookah lounge or a mechanic, Reachfolk is a surefire way to stay connected–no matter where you are.

Black Girl Survives Brutal Assault From Cop, Files Lawsuit https://www.melanoidnation.org/black-girl-survives-brutal-assault-from-cop-files-lawsuit/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/black-girl-survives-brutal-assault-from-cop-files-lawsuit/#comments Sun, 15 May 2016 21:07:02 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=3435 TACOMA, WA — Nearly two years ago to this day, a young and innocent Black girl nearly witnessed her life being taken from her by a race soldier cop.

Monique Tillman was 15 years old on the fateful day of May 24, 2014, when her and her brother were stopped by a white cop by the name of Jared Williams. The cop, who served double duty as an officer for both the Tacoma Police Department and as mall security, approached the siblings at the Tacoma Mall (working as mall security on that particular day), and warned them that they weren’t allowed to ride their bicycles to cut through the parking lot as a shortcut.

After pleading her case to the officer that she and her brother were only attempting to be on their way peacefully, Tillman appeared to disregard and elude the harassing mall security guard’s demands, most likely in fear for her safety. The officer (Williams) then proceeded to snatch the 15-year-old girl from her bike, choking her and grabbing her hair in the process. The assault continued with Williams applying over 50.000 volts of electricity (through a taser) to the young female.

According to The Free Thought ProjectTillman’s attorney Vito de la Cruz has filed a lawsuit, seeking damages from the race soldier cop, and several other entities that have neglected this attack on the Melanoid girl. Watch the video below to witness the turn of events on that day.

White Lies Matter https://www.melanoidnation.org/white-lies-matter/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/white-lies-matter/#comments Sun, 14 Feb 2016 00:33:20 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=3233             White supremacy is impotent without Melanated acquiescence. For over 500 hundred years, Melanated people have striven to live the “American Dream;” but, in a system that was never intended to provide Melanated people with justice and freedom, “White lies matter.” One might ask, “What white lies?”

            The first and most insidious white lie is that white supremacy does not exist. Many in the dominant society would like Melanated people to eschews over 500 years of American history and codified law in what the great documentary filmmaker, Mr. Tariq Nasheed, refers to as the “500 Year Long Coincidence.” This is the notion that blatant incidences of racial discrimination by suspected white supremacists toward Melanated individuals are merely by happenstance and does not indicate a larger structural flaw in society. The acknowledgment of the existence of white supremacy is important because it affects every part of the Melanated individual’s life. Without the acknowledgement of the existence of white supremacy, esteemed social scientist, Mr. Neeley Fuller Jr. says nothing in the areas of economics, labor, religion, education, law, sex, entertainment, politics, or war will make sense to the Melanated individual. The non-acknowledgement of white supremacy will eventually lead the Melanated person into making unyielding compromises to the dominant society and down a lonely road chasing after the elusive “American Dream.”

“Meritorious manumission” is the second white lie the dominant society uses to subjugate Melanated people and is the assertion that if a Melanated person is “exceptional” enough, he or she may be granted a full pass into white society; thereby avoiding all laws and pitfalls that have been set to ensnare Melanoid people. This white lie leads Melanoid people into courses of actions that are harmful on both the micro and macro level. Melanoid people seeking meritorious manumission will often couch their actions in religious terms; placing allegiance of their faith above the well-being of their race. This is contrast to those in the dominant society that places the well-being of the system of white supremacy above any religious differences. Meritorious manumission is a white lie that is intended to cause confusion and force Melanated people to appeal to the morality in white supremacist. However, if white supremacists had morals, there would not be a system of white supremacy. This fact leads the Melanated individual to three equally important conclusions.

First, Melanated individuals must cease any form of financial patronage with non-Melanoid people. This means that Melanated individuals should not spend their money with those who do not look like them. Boycotting works, as study of the Montgomery bus boycotts shows, and is an act of ethnic and economic solidarity. Along with boycotting non-Melanated businesses, Melanoid individuals need to build their own businesses and do for self.

The Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey has shown that Melanated people can practice cooperative economics and build businesses that both empower and unite the entire African Diaspora. White supremacy was created with mechanisms in place to keep Melanated people economically subservient to the dominant society. Melanated people cannot and must not wait for wealth and resources to be given from white supremacist. Melanated people must take what is rightfully theirs.

In a system that is continually being refined, Melanated people have no choice but to practice cooperative economics and protect their families and communities by any means necessary. With the proliferation of violence against Melanated people by white supremacists and race soldier police officers, Melanated people must be fully aware of current laws and actively practice their 2nd Amendment privilege. Also, Melanated people need to protect their own communities, instead of seeking assistance from the police, because white supremacy has been created to withhold justice from Melanoid people.

In the grand view, integration has come at the detriment of Melanoid people by making them economically reliant upon White supremacy for jobs and welfare. To become completely free, Melnaoid people must move to cities that have a large percentage of Melanated individuals, in order to effectively practice cooperative economics. The less interaction that Melanoid people have with white supremacists, the less white lies matter. In the words of the immortal Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey, “Up, you mighty race, accomplish what you will.”

Black Man Awarded $23.1 Million In Court After Being Shot And Paralyzed By Cop https://www.melanoidnation.org/black-man-awarded-23-1-million-in-court-after-being-shot-and-paralyzed-by-cop/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/black-man-awarded-23-1-million-in-court-after-being-shot-and-paralyzed-by-cop/#comments Sat, 06 Feb 2016 19:24:28 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=3193 FT. LAUDERDALE, FL — A young Melanoid male who saw his quality of life severely compromised at the hands of a law enforcement official is set to receive substantial compensation for his pain and suffering.

Dontrell Stephens is a 22-year-old who, like most other people who ride their bicycles around town, never expect to be shot by a race soldier cop. However, this is exactly what happened to Mr. Stephens in September of 2013.

Mr. Stephens was stopped by an officer by Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Sgt. Adams Lin on that fateful September date, and accused Stephens of reaching for a weapon in his waistband. As it turns out, Stephens was unarmed, and the only “dark object” that was in his hands at the time of his being stopped was a cellphone. Stephens explains that Adams Lin had already began to shoot him despite the fact that his hands were raised after being chased down and stopped.

Adams Lin, who’s Asian, was cleared of any criminal charges involving the shooting, and was promoted to sergeant after the incident. What’s alarming about Adams Lin shooting Dontrell Stephens was that he is a 12-year veteran of the sheriff’s office–ample time for an officer to gain the experience and proper judgement on how to deal with citizens–which makes his claims of innocence very suspicious at best.

Mr. Stephens’s attorneys say that their client will have more than $6 million worth of medical expenses in his lifetime because of the paralysis he suffered after being shot, and $18 million for his pain and suffering. A federal jury has awarded Mr. Stephens $23.1 million.

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 United Nations Is In Favor Of Reparations For Black People In U.S. https://www.melanoidnation.org/the-united-nations-is-in-favor-of-reparations-for-black-people-in-u-s/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/the-united-nations-is-in-favor-of-reparations-for-black-people-in-u-s/#comments Tue, 02 Feb 2016 02:38:35 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=3182 In spite of the vehement opposition by politicians, media personalities, and the general dominant society alike, one of the world’s most overarching organizations has taken a pro-reparations stance.

Last week, The Philadelphia Tribune reported that a group of American-born Melanoid people met with The UN Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent (a U.N.-sanctioned panel) to discuss recommendations on how to compensate Black Society with the long overdue reparations.

The current–and longstanding–climate in which Melanoid people have dwelt since the onset of slavery has become cause for alarm among U.N. officials, prompting Mireille Fanon Mendes-France of France (a U.N. chairperson) to express “extremely concern about the human rights situation of African-Americans”, as it was stated in a report that was discussed in the aforementioned meeting.

 The irony of the story yet again exposes the U.S.’s blatant denial of the gruesome history of slavery/racism that has crept into every nook and cranny of its 50 states. It also illustrates how this nation has gone to great lengths to deny Melanoid people the resources we deserve.

Ms. Cook-Snow, a Black woman who enrolled her two daughters in Pickerington High School North a couple of years back, says that her daughters are coming home to her crying on a regular basis.

The reason for her daughter’s grief? Constant racial remarks and gestures from the school’s white students.

“Some of the students think it’s okay and think it’s funny to say the N-word, say jokes about it,” says Roni Cook, one of LaRhonda’s two daughters. Roni, who was a member of the school’s cheerleading squad, eventually quit due to her being called a “nigger” by one of the white cheerleaders.

Pickerington High School North’s white students have spotted Snapchatting themselves dressed in a KKK uniform (as seen in this story’s featured photo), and one of the white female studnets posted a picture of herself on social media in blackface with a racial slur in the photo’s caption, which can be viewed below.

In lieu of the notoriety that the school has received for allowing its white students’ racist behavior to go unchecked for an extensive period of time, officials have implemented “sensitivity training” to attempt to convince white students to ‘get along’ with the Melanoid students of the school. Here is more on the sensitivity training in the following video clip.

Former Black Employees Of Sara Lee Factory Set To Receive Settlement After Being Mistreated At Workplace https://www.melanoidnation.org/former-black-employees-of-sara-lee-factory-set-to-receive-settlement-after-being-mistreated-at-workplace/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/former-black-employees-of-sara-lee-factory-set-to-receive-settlement-after-being-mistreated-at-workplace/#comments Sat, 26 Dec 2015 20:06:35 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=3024 Police killings and disproportionate incarcerations are two major issues plaguing Black Society, but it would be wise to add one more item to such a dubious list: workplace slavery.

Black workers of a Sara Lee plant in Paris, Texas–which closed in 2011–suffered atrocious mistreatment at the hands of white supremacist supervisors and staff. The workplace conditions that the Melanoid employees suffered were so vile and disrespectful, it was stated in the settlement (filed by 74 former Black employees at the factory) that the workers were subjected to “environmental racism”.

The Hillshire Brands Company, (formerly known as the Sara Lee Corporation), is slated to pay $4 million to the former Black employees who were mistreated. Reports reveal that the factory’s premises were covered in grafitti, with white extremist phrases and words such as “we hate these niggers”, “KKK”, and apes hanging from nooses–littered throughout the facility.

Not only was the blatant racism seen throughout the factory, it was also heard on numerous occasions, with the former Black employees recalling accounts of them being verbally assaulted by supervisors and co-workers with a barrage of racial epithets. The grievances of the Black workers were ignored by management.

The Black workers of the now-defunct Paris, TX plant were under the thumb of white supremacy at their job so much that it physically affected their health. CBS Chicago reported that the Blacks at this job were forced to do jobs in areas which were infested with black mold, asbestos, and other deadly substances. As a result of being railroaded into working in such deadly conditions, several of the employees developed cancer in the process.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) opened a two year investigation which concluded that the Melanoid people who were the victims of discrimination at this factory were entitled to the payout.

Follow this link to watch a video clip of a statement given by Suzanne Anderson, Attorney for the Dallas Chapter of the EEOC in regards to the settlement that is owed to the former Black employees of the Sara Lee plant in Paris, Texas.

Another Black Child With A Toy Gun Was Shot By Suspected Race Soldier In Florida https://www.melanoidnation.org/another-black-child-with-a-toy-gun-was-shot-by-suspected-race-soldier-in-florida/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/another-black-child-with-a-toy-gun-was-shot-by-suspected-race-soldier-in-florida/#comments Sun, 13 Dec 2015 19:53:12 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=2983 JACKSONVILLE, FL — One year after 12-year-old Tamir Rice was shot and killed by a race soldier in Ohio, another innocent Black child suffered an attempt on his life.

Jacksonville Sheriff Officers were called out to the home of a woman located off of Harts Road after she reported that a teen was shooting a BB gun to her window this past Friday evening.

Here is the video footage of the Tom Hackney, Director of Investigations, briefing the local media.

The shooting victim, who was a 14-year-old Black boy, was shot in the leg by a race soldier cop by the name of Josh Livinggood. The cop shot at the boy six times before one of the bullets connected with the boy’s leg. Fortunately for the victim, the gunshot wound wasn’t fatal. It should also be noted that the boy is mentally challenged, and his previous encounters with the police have involved his condition.

It was determined later that the boy was shot under the erroneous suspicion that he possessed a “Desert Eagle”, which is why the cop felt compelled to shoot the Melanoid child.

Here is the link to the story.
