White High School Students In Ohio Post Racist Pictures On Social Media To Terrorize New Black Students

PICKERINGTON, OH — After two excruciating years of fighting with her daughters’ high school, LaRhonda Cook-Snow had enough. 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.

Black Woman In Ohio Suffers Property Damage By White Extremists

In the minds of many, the South is where the majority of the U.S.’s racism occurs. However, events that have occurred in recent years have dispelled that theory.

In Youngstown, Ohio, a Melanoid business owner by the name of Nicole Rhodes has been forced to fear for her life. Earlier this week, she was met with the sight of her Ford pickup truck destroyed by fire. Attached to the truck was a menacing letter left by white extremists. The following photo reveals the content of the letter and her truck that was destroyed:

After being exposed to such horrific imagery, Ms. Rhodes went on to say “This can’t be real. This just can’t be real,” Rhodes told the New York Daily News on Wednesday. “It just cannot be this serious. Black skin just can’t be this serious. Black skin just can’t make you go destroying property.” Although Ms. Rhodes is currently an owner of a building which houses a beauty salon in the area, she is working towards relocating her business elsewhere.

The attack on Nicole Rhodes and her family appears to be a tactic long used by white supremacists when attempting to disenfranchise Melanoid people from positions of power and ownership. Attacks of this caliber have taken place numerous times in this country’s history, and it is no exception in 2015.

Neo-Nazis Plan An Armed Rally In Toledo Ohio This Saturday

Melanoid Nation — Fri, 17 Apr 2015 03:36:26 +0000

Toledo police have devised a tentative setup for the planned neo-Nazi rally in downtown Toledo this weekend, which calls for both police and a boulevard to be between members of the National Socialist Movement and the public.

The rally, slated for 3:30 p.m. April 18, also will close a significant portion of downtown to vehicle and pedestrian traffic and will be secured by several area law enforcement agencies. Streets, including parts of Adams, Superior, North Michigan, North Erie, and Beech, will begin to close to vehicles and pedestrians at 11 a.m. that day. Street parking will shut down the night before.

A Lucas County Common Pleas Court judge today denied the city of Toledo’s request to prevent those attending the planned neo-Nazi rally downtown on Saturday from bringing weapons. So the white supremacists will be allowed to open carry their weapons.

This event provides more proof that the month of April is a significant month among white extremist groups.
