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.

The students marched to UC Berkeley, where they voiced their displeasure for what had just transpired at their school that day. According to reports, a student was found creating a memo in the school’s library that read, KKK Forever Public Lynching December 9th 2015. Once questioned about committing such an act, the male student confessed to doing so.

In reaction to the threat that was made via computer on Thursday, the school has opted to use the exact same date of the threat’s manifestation (Dec. 9) to allow the Melanoid students of the school the opportunity to openly discuss issues of race with school district officials. Possible solutions to this issue will also be proposed among the students.

The Black Student Union of Berkeley High School posted the following Tweet in response to the terroristic threat made that day.

A memo littered with racist propaganda provides the call-to-action for the removal of the Melanoid citizens in Southfield by November, which is approximately 70% Black according to the 2010 U.S. Census report. The flyer also displays the photos of local politicians and law enforcement officials who all happenen to be white.

This is no coincidence that their projected time frame for the removal of Melanoid people from Southfield coincides with the election in November. Given the current climate of escalated white supremacy on all fronts, perhaps their goal may not be as far-fetched as we would want to believe.

There seems to be a method to this insane white supremacist way of thinking. Due to the recent upward trend in overt racism/white supremacy that has emerged in a manner that our people have not experienced since the Civil Rights Movement, it is now encouraged to condone the mass incarceration, miseducation, gentrification, and murdering of all Melanoid people in this society, because there is no longer a want or need for us within the framework of the dominant society.

There is a longstanding and verifiable narrative that exposes the direct correlation between the proud celebration of whiteness by overt racists/white supremacists and the bloodthirsty quest for Melanoid elimination. For much of the early 20th century in the U.S., a burning cross in the yards of Melanoid families signified that someone in that particular family was marked for death by lynching, burning, and other gruesome methods of torture at the hands of the Ku Klux Klan. In Europe, the chanting of racial epithets, the throwing of objects, and death threats from the mouths of dozens of thousands thuggish European fans at futbol (soccer) arenas means that the Melanoid player down on the field does not meet their approval, and they state their intentions to harm the Melanoid athletes who risk their lives to play a game they love and deserve to play. Simply put, whenever one of us gets called “nigger” by a member of the dominant society, death or violence toward us is soon to follow.

When white extremists such as the neo-Nazis hold rallies in American cities, their speeches are filled with hate and endorsements of attacking and killing Melanoid people in every way possible. All of this is done with a message that is unapologetically white at its very core.

So, for us to realize that the blatant and unapologetic celebration of white society and culture is racist is to also acknowledge the hypocrisy in their desire to do so. Their argument is that if Melanoid people can openly celebrate their culture and history, then why can’t they? First and foremost, Melanoid people under this system can never be racist because we do not benefit from societal exemptions such as white privilege. For members of the dominant society to demand that they be allowed to celebrate their whiteness without retribution, their true intentions are exposed, and that is to proceed with carrying out the centuries-long agenda of ensuring that their race survives…by controlling all affairs on the planet to ensure that they maintain their staying power, thus keeping this system as is.

The following video features commentary by white supremacist David Duke, who attempts to stir up white paranoia by suggesting that they may been soon eliminated by a Melanoid “threat” to their way of life.

Russellville mayor Randy Horton stepped in this past weekend, stating that this billboard suggests “a racist tone to many who have seen it.” In true white supremacist fashion, the city’s white establishment maintained its code of conduct by stating that the billboard was not able to be taken down because the city claimed to have no control over the billboard, according to the mayor. This poses as a potential threat to any Melanoid people who may live in close proximity to Russellville, because of the covert white supremacist propaganda that is being displayed on this particular sign.

In retrospect, the city of Russellville’s nonchalant attitude towards this sign exposes the hypocritical nature of white supremacy as it pertains to the young Melanoid students in Georgia who recently expressed their frustrations in this country by walking on the American flag in protest of racism white supremacy. This billboard is the proverbial burning cross in the front yards of vulnerable Melanoid men, women, and children across this country.
