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

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.

Typical Atlantic drivel; “racist right” is an oxymoron.

I thought the article made him appear to be a nut case, which is true.

One pass of an AC-130 or A-10 will nip that problem in the bud; for the more reluctant members there’s always Mr Ginsu, aka the Hellfire R9X.

Ha! The ones taking over this country have full control. Does anyone really think their bases weren’t covered before they started this gambit?

“John Fitzgerald Johnson. He is a former soldier,”

I will have to look around but I think this was called into question as well. Mainly for his lack of knowledge about weapons and some jacked up patches he was wearing.

All you have to do is find a couple of their social media accounts, post as a fellow member-in-arms with some choice words about their mothers, and then watch the mayhem and death erupt during their next meeting.

They always look like clowns. Yes, we have the type also. I wipe my arse with what the Atlantic writes.

Louisville. They marched in Atlanta suburb Stone Mountain, then a month or two later they marched in Louisville, where they had a negligent discharge that wounded one or two of their own people. Having seen their look in Stone Mountain, I was unsurprised they managed a casualty ND in Louisville.

That said, they did manage to have ~100 people show up, all dressed somewhat alike, many with arms, marching in formation. If a white group had done something like that, the cries of “white supremicists!” from the media and Dem pols would have been deafening.

“A Black Army Rises to Fight the Racist Right”

I really wonder if these folks realize they are only 13% of the US population. If they start shooting and find out that most of the millions of guns sold probably went to white folks will then then be begging the government to SAVE US?

The Atlantic?

The Atlantic is filled with crabs and sewage and dead fish.

It’s also the name of an ocean.

IIRC, there was an “Other Than Honorable” discharge in the story.

Their main weapon against their perceived enemies on the Right? Fraud. Add to that fear mongering and outright violence, and you have the rantings and desperation of a movement that is crumbling, at least in popularity with their supposed tribe. More and more people are waking from woke, and realizing that they have been had, and abused by these charlatans.
