Montgomery – Melanoid Nation Foundation https://www.melanoidnation.org Fri, 15 Apr 2016 03:09:46 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 White Supremacist Male Harasses Black Woman At Bank ATM in Alabama https://www.melanoidnation.org/white-supremacist-male-harasses-black-woman-at-bank-atm-in-alabama/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/white-supremacist-male-harasses-black-woman-at-bank-atm-in-alabama/#comments Fri, 15 Apr 2016 03:09:46 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=3377 In a very disturbing video that was taken today in Montgomery Alabama, an open white supremacist male is seen violently harassing a Black woman as she is using the ATM outside of Regions Bank location.  The white supremacist male can be heard calling the Black woman a “whore” and a “nigger”.

The victim calls for another person in a car waiting for her to get the white supremacist’s license plate number.  The white supremacist male is so comfortable with his racism, he can be heard saying: “get the law..They aren’t gonna do nothing”.

Here is the video below:

 

There are many white feminist organizations that have put a lot of resources into promoting and combating street harassment. The white supremacist thug in the above video not only made a racial epithet to the victim , he also made a gender epithet by calling the woman in the video a “whore”.

Are these white feminists organizations going to speak up for this Black woman, or are they going to save their outrage for Black men who “harass” women by saying “hello” to them on the street?

So Much For Black Symbolism… https://www.melanoidnation.org/so-much-for-black-symbolism/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/so-much-for-black-symbolism/#comments Wed, 12 Aug 2015 20:38:57 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=2163

The strong move silent, and the weak cause riots.

You’ve heard the old saying above, right? Of course, this isn’t indicative of ALL members of Black Society, because the occasional uprising is merely the voice of the unheard and downtrodden Melanoid people who seek outlets to vent their pent up frustrations with the injustices served by systematic white supremacy. What’s disappointing, however, are the Melanoid people who choose to participate in movements with ulterior objectives such as the Black Lives Matter movement, and “Hands up, don’t shoot”.

Over the course of our colorful history, symbolism HAS been used, yet it was used strategically. One prime example of this was when the Honorable Marcus Garvey’s UNIA opted to design a flag that would serve as a biting rebuttal to the dehumanizing song released in 1900, titled: Every Race Has A Flag But The CoonOn another occasion, Montgomery, Alabama’s bus boycotts in the mid 1950’s (in response to the Rosa Parks arrest) were a symbolic, yet action-based gesture that eventually crippled the local economy in the state’s capital city.

In 2015, many (not all) of our movements have been reduced to the level of empty promises and hot air-powered rhetoric. In spite of this, there is no one particular group in Black Society to blame, because this issue isn’t limited to just one group. For future reference, let us as Melanoid people be mindful about co-signing movements that may appear to be Black on paper, yet anti-Black in its truest essence. Movements with catchy slogans come and go, yet codes of conduct have true staying power.
