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.

They were threatening to kill whitey and put us all on notice while in Stone Mountain Georgia last July 4th while terrorizing all the locals who went to Stone Mountain to enjoy the holiday . So yes these are terrorists.

someone was/is bankrolling their gear. I spent a lot of time pouring over pics. Some guys had decent kits and with lots of mods on their weapons beyond the skill set of the average ghetto chump in a garage. Lots of LPV optics, etc. too.

most were simply fat, untrained and pathetic props in a propaganda war... not war fighters.

A few weeks ago, a group of armed Black men calling themselves the NFAC (Not F#@king Around Crew) peacefully protested at Stone Mountain, the birthplace of the KKK. It was a powerful visual to see in a state where open carry is legal but more often carried out by white men.

It turns out that their leader, Grandmaster Jay, has shared antisemitic posts and misquotes by Hitler on Twitter. This does not mean that his group feels the same way, but like athletes and television celebrities, he has followers.

“Before we lionize the NFAC for their march in Georgia today, be aware that NFAC founder Grandmaster Jay holds some antisemitic views. I doubt every person marching today knows about his fringe beliefs, but they’re worth being aware of before you publicly support the org.”

This guy sound like the next Jim Jones commanding his followers to drink the Kool Aid.

This Atlantic article was such BS. Saying Trump called for an insurrection and that his supporters sacked the capital. Oh, please. Does the author even know what sacking a city means?

You’re describing BLM, who this guy disavows. His coalition is blacks( mixed race, with a black father allowed) only.

Well, that was a load of horse shit.

Wasn't this the damn fool that claimed to have reached the rank of Sergeant Major while in the US Army?

Damned fool.

And so is the idiot that wrote this crap.

“To fight the racist right?” They’ll be swinging at nothing then—a myth.

"The Atlantic seems to be in favor of this group."

The Atlantic has always been a propaganda arm of the communist party of America...
Now that means it is an average American mainstream news & opinion source...

So the next smoking holes in the ground that were once American buildings and thousands of us alive caused by Muslims will be explained away by US intel as “just be glad it wasn’t done by white supremacists. At least we stopped those attacks. You can thank us later.”

NFAC=Not F-—ing Around Coalition

I thought you were joking but that's what it is! How eloquent.....

Although given their tendency to unintentionally shoot one another, perhaps they should change their name to JFAC (Just F-—ing Around Coalition)...

Don't post anything, don't join any groups and just swim with all the other fish in the ocean.

don't trust anyone trying to get you to "do something"..... just obey the law, smile and enjoy the rats eating each other.

That's how it always ends for these pathetic clowns.... every time.

I love our country, just remember that.............

The victor is not victorious if the vanquished does not consider himself so

So be of good cheer and be happy in the struggle brothers.

Bingo! There aren't many people around who actually describe themselves as "white supremacists" - probably not enough in the entire country, to fill the taxi cabs in our major cities, all at once. And funny thing: half (or more) of them, including a lot of the "leadership", are actually government informants/agents. That lets the feds bust somebody, whenever they need to trot out a 'boogeyman' for extra funding or publicity.

Odds are, John Jacob Jingleheimer Johnson (or whatever his name is) who runs the Just Effing Around Coalition is probably a government informant, too...
