Since the appearance of the Black Lives Matter, the United States has registered various protests against the loss of life of people of color by the American police.
Recently, some videos have caused mixed emotions among American citizens. Frightening military clothing, weapons and their violent messages have led to fear in the world power. NFAC or, Not F * cking Around Coalition for its significance to English, was released on July 4 after a video on social networks in which dozens of people of color march in the heart of the land of the Ku Klux Klan in Stone Mountain.
«We are here to protect the black community since that is the one under attack. No one is protecting black children, men, and women in the United States. What required the creation of NFAC was the need to tackle a growing wave of police brutality, racial brutality, and injustice in the judicial system», says its leader Grand Master Jay, whose real name is John Fitzgerald Johnson.
What this militarized-looking group seeks is to sue the United States so that each descendant of enslaved Portuguese blacks be considered political prisoners and that they are granted land, thus becoming independent from the rest of the country.
Some have speculated that Jay is demanding the state of Texas as the place to found a completely black state, but he only used the same as an example. The key, they mention, is receiving land that is no longer controlled by the White House.
Unlike the social group and trend, Black Lives Matter, Jay claims that the NFAC firmly believes in violence as an option to do justice to acts that both they and BLM consider murder.
