A Black Army Rises to Fight the Racist Right
theatlantic.com ^ | Graeme Wood

Posted on 04/02/2021 3:09:44 PM PDT by RoosterRedux

The NFAC leader’s real name is John Fitzgerald Johnson. He is a former soldier, a failed political candidate, a hip-hop DJ, a rambling egotist, and a prolific self-promoter. His life sometimes seems like a long disinformation campaign about itself.

*snip*

Jay claims that the NFAC first appeared publicly when nine white supremacists came to Dayton, Ohio, in May 2019. No one seems to have noticed the coalition then, amid some 600 other counterprotesters. In 2020, however, it showed up in larger numbers (Jay claims thousands, but hundreds seems more realistic) at protests over Confederate monuments and over the killing of Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia; at protests over the police shooting of Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Kentucky; and at protests over the police shooting of Trayford Pellerin in Lafayette, Louisiana.

In Louisville, just two hours from where Jay and I sat, the NFAC first revealed the extent of its capabilities. On his YouTube channel, Jay posted a video of his troops in formation, and local news stations ran aerial shots. The men and women are ragtag and amateur, and their uniforms are not, well, uniform. One man has a Texas-flag patch Velcroed to his body armor; a woman taps the trigger guard of her AR-15 with a three-inch yellow fingernail. But my goodness, the weaponry—AR-15s galore, sniper rifles with scopes and bipods, high-capacity magazines, and enough “tactical” clothing to resupply an Army-surplus store. They look like World War II partisans meeting their clandestine commander for the first time. They stand in neat, spaced columns. I counted 28 rows of seven before I stopped counting. (By contrast, aerial photos suggest that the white militiamen present that day could have fit in a small school bus.) When Jay orders his people into motion, they go.

That is the group that were screwing around with their guns last summer and shot a couple of their people in Texas I think.

So basically conservative Americans of all colors can stand back and watch them annihilate themselves.

How is this OK but when white people do it they get harrassed by the FBI?

Always sad to see fake activists, funded by Soros or perhaps trained by the FBI, come out and make a nuisance of themselves.

“the coalition”

A bunch of white women, a few black women, a few black men, and handful of soy boys, more than a few Fellow White People, and whole lot of drug addicts and queers. Basically, the same mobs that had to receive incremental suppression in the 60’s.

Expressing how I feel about this would be disrespectful to Jim’s rules so I will refrain.

If I had to guess this organization is run by undercover FBI agents anyway.

Why is ‘the right’ racist, when its ‘the left’ who goes after the population as seperate ethnic groups, and not as who they are, “Americans”?

Didn’t this loser point a gun at a fed & get arrested?

How is he still able to keep his weapons?

I hope the Lord grants me an opportunity to get a sore shoulder dealing with these people some day.

All of a sudden the Atlantic is having orgasms about firearms possession. Whaddaya know. Remember this the next time they get all pious about getting guns "off the street".

“ Why is ‘the right’ racist, when its ‘the left’

Same reason the KKK is a far right organization, despite being founded by democrats to be a paramilitary arm of the democrat party used to terrorize blacks and any republicans sympathetic to blacks

The Atlantic seems to be in favor of this group.

So they’re a militia, which is bad, correct?

I don’t like a militia that is wrong-headed about the problems facing this country, but as long as are regulating themselves so they are not predatory or criminal or terrorist or planning anything of the kind, then they’re a well-regulated militia.

White supremacy is all but an invisible shadow in the United
States.

It has become such a non-entity, that the DOiJ and the FBU
has had to change the narrative from one of racism, to one
of terrorism.

And that is as much or more invisible than the racism was.
They sure are looking though. They talk and they talk and
they talk some more. Can’t point to any of it, but they
sure can talk and talk and talk and...

Meanwhile cities are under attack, whole business distracts have
been rioted, looted, and burned down.

None the less the powers that be can’t find one example of
that, and aren’t looking at all either.

LOL! You may not ever have to get a sore shoulder. They are very effective when left alone...
