A Joe’s Crab Shack near Minneapolis was visited by two Melanoid people on Wednesday when they noticed a photo depicting a lynch mob featuring captions with tasteless humor. Tyrone Williams and Chauntyll Allen–the two customers who noticed the photo, complained to management about what they saw, then opted not to dine at the establishment.

The Minneapolis chapter of the NAACP intervened upon hearing of the incident, and the chapter’s president, Nekima Levy-Pounds had the following to say in a press conference:

This disturbing incident that occurred at Joe’s Crab Shack, demonstrates that racism is still alive and well in this country. It is sickening to know that someone would make a mockery of black men being savagely lynched and then use that imagery for decorative purposes in a restaurant.

“I have felt sick to my stomach and stressed out since seeing that image on the table where I was planning to eat my food,” Tyrone told Minneapolis’s KARE 11.

Below is a video that was posted online a few days before the terrorist attack in Minneapolis, of two armed white supremacist planning a terrorist attack against Black protesters in Minnesota.

Police have arrested one of the three white men who allegedly fired into a crowd near the Black Lives Matter encampment Monday night.

Minneapolis police did not release the name of the  23-year-old suspect they arrested  in Bloomington at 11:20 a.m. Tuesday. Police are still searching for the other two suspects.

Authorities are weighing whether to treat the shooting of five people protesting near the Minneapolis Police Department’s 4th Precinct Monday night as a hate crime, sources familiar with the investigation said Tuesday morning.

The victims, all black men — ages 19 through 43 — were taken to hospitals with noncritical injuries, according to police.

The mainstream media has been very quiet about this terrorist attack on American soil. There are endless stories in the mainstream media about ISIS, Boko Haram, Syrian Refugee terrorists,etc. But the same attention should be given to these white supremacist terrorists who are carrying out attempted murder plots against Black citizens.

According to St. Paul’s KARE-TV, Abrams, who is autistic, was on his way home from his job at the Minnesota State Fair when he was approached by two officers, whose names were Peter Buzicky and Richard Wegner. Abrams explained he was wearing headphones at the time of the incident, so he could not hear the officers speaking to him. The officers reportedly stepped to Abrams to ask him for his I.D., and the situation escalated from there. According to Wegner’s report, Abrams refused to place his hands behind his head and was visibly irritated by the cops’ invasion of his personal space.

Abrams was then slammed to the ground by the officers, which resulted in him later suffering two seizures. The primary reason for Abrams’ frustration with the race soldiers closing in on his personal space is directly linked to one of the issues of Abrams’ condition, and that is “touch sensory issues” which make him extremely territorial.

Only after Abrams’ mother, Maria Caldwell, stated that her son was autistic, was he not charged. Unfortunately, it took the young autistic Melanoid teen to receive an unnecessary brutal assault from law enforcement to prove his innocence. The transit station (where Abrams was assaulted) is currently investigating the incident. Here is a video clip of the story below.

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.

And black children are not exempt from this. There has never been a time in America when Melanoid children collectively were not targeted by white supremacist practices in the education system. In spite of this,many Melanoid children still excelled educationally. Unfortunately, many black children are failed by this system.

Fortunately we have a few  courageous Melanoid educators in certain school districts who are trying to step up for these children.

As of Monday, Superintendent Bernadeia Johnson and her leadership team will review every suspension of Melanoid students in the Minneapolis school district, the Star Tribune reports.
The move comes after Minneapolis’ suspension policies have been under increased scrutiny from civil rights officials inside the U.S Department of Education and also follows a moratorium on suspensions of pre-kindergartners, kindergarteners and first graders that Johnson says has reduced suspensions by 50 percent.

The uneven race suspension data is not limited to schools in Minneapolis . Nationwide, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights found that black boys and girls are suspended at a higher rate than any other students — 20 percent for boys and 12 percent for girls.

Some conservative publications are already charging Bernadeia Johnson for practicing reverse racism because of these new policies.
