Another group we don't talk about is the Unia military core, they went blow for blow shot for shot with the kkk. It got so bad that Marcus Garvey and the grand wizard agreed to meet up and call a truce on the bloodshed because both organizations were losing a lot of members.

MLK was militant in his final days too.

Deacons of Defense played chess and they won. If black folk are armed, we need to be smart about it.

The Deacons informed the chief that if that happened again, "there would be some killing going on." The Klan never did that again.

Cross burning ended suddenly the night that a cross was set on fire in front of a clergyman's house. Shots rang out aimed at the Klan as the torch touched the cross. The Klan departed and never repeated that trick.

Black panthers wouldn't have let that shyt go down. The police is only treating us like this because they know we don't have a defense mechanism. Lets create the "Black peacekeepers of America" or some shyt. nikkas walking around with guns to protect black lives from ANYBODY harming us. Something like

On July 10, 1964, a group of African American men in Jonesboro, Louisiana led by Earnest “Chilly Willy” Thomas and Frederick Douglas Kirkpatrick founded the group known as The Deacons for Defense and Justice to protect members of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) against Ku Klux Klan violence.






Deuteronomy 28:49

fukk it, I got to read it

The spring and summer of 1964 was a time of growing anti-segregation demonstrations in Jonesboro. The Klan responded at one point with a menacing parade through the black section of town – led by the chief of police. The Deacons informed the chief that if that happened again, "there would be some killing going on." The Klan never did that again.

Cross burning ended suddenly the night that a cross was set on fire in front of a clergyman's house. Shots rang out aimed at the Klan as the torch touched the cross. The Klan departed and never repeated that trick.

Let these cacs tell it, African Americans were always passive victims and owe whatever they have achieved to all those good white folks who marched with Dr. King.
