'We're in your house': Armed black protesters march through Georgia Confederate park

Scores of armed black protesters marched through Stone Mountain Park in Georgia, calling for the removal of an infamous Confederate monument and warning “redneck” militias that “we’re in your house.” America is nearing total race war. We never thought its gonna be the blacks who start it though. We always thought its gonna be all the white victims of black on white crime who are gonna have enough but nope, all it took is just for a few blacks to die at the hands of white cops and boom…

Footage from the march, which brought out 100 to 200 demonstrators, showed heavily-armed black protesters marching through the park on Independence Day, leading some on social media to react with worry at what appeared to be a volatile situation as protests across the country have descended into violence.

“Threat. Counter threat. Because threats don’t mean s**t to us. Ya’ll been threatening us since Birmingham,” one man said through a loudspeaker at the event, going on to specifically target right-wing groups such as the Boogaloo Boys and Three Percenters, organizations that have been accused of being extremist militias.

“I don’t see no white militia, so to the Boogie Boys, the Three Percenters and all the rest of you scared-ass rednecks: we’re here… We’re in your house. Let’s go. NFAC…,” the man continued as others gathered in a military-style marching formation behind him.

The “NFAC” appears to refer to the name of the group behind the gathering, which is the ‘Not F**king Around Coalition.’

The park where the demonstrators made their stand is highly controversial thanks to a large carving of Confederates Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and Stonewall Jackson. Another video shows a protester calling the park the “birthplace of the Ku Klux Klan,” referring to the fact that the racist organization was “reborn” at the park.

In 1915, card-carrying members of the KKK built monuments to slavery at the location, including a plantation house, according to the Atlanta History Center, and held a “rebirth” ceremony. The KKK still holds annual rallies there.

Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams previously called for the removal of the Confederate monument, which is part of a light show on Independence Day that tells the tale of the Confederacy to visitors. There have been renewed calls for its removal since the May 25 death of George Floyd.

Other video from the protest shows those gathered being told that if they are “not ready” to give their lives, then they can get out “right now.”

Despite many on social media reacting to clips of the Saturday demonstration with worry, officials say the protesters conducted their business peacefully.

“It’s a public park, a state park. We have these protests on both sides of the issue from time to time. We respect people’s First Amendment right,” John Bankhead, a spokesman for the Stone Mountain Memorial Association, told WXIA-TV.

Footage did, however, show members of the gathered group, referring to themselves as “black militia,” arguing with white people in their cars, warning one driver: “We are your worst nightmare.”

Race-related protests around the nation have painted similar tense moods. Continued demonstrations in Portland saw activists shooting fireworks at a courthouse and police using tear gas to disperse crowds attempting to build barricades, while a Baltimore demonstration included the toppling of a Christopher Columbus statue.

Other protests around Independence Day included footage of protesters burning and stomping on the US flag outside the White House.

  1. The last time i check we in the UK ain’t got $hit militia groups there. And that’s why you can talk the way you do, but try bringing that over in the US. I dare you…that’s why those so call boogie boys & 3 percents kkk BS are just plain cowards!
    I don’t think you piss black folks enough to really want to mess with them. That’s just real talk. lol kkk my a$$!!
    For the record, those NFAC was not there for war, they were there for a threat made against blacks across the country on 4th of July, and the government & Police fail to take the threat seriously!
    So, so since the government did not which to act upon said threats upon citizens, then this was the reason the militia was created…to defend, to protect, both foreign and domestic threats to its citizen communities, who are helpless.
    So, don’t think you can make cowardly “threats” Over the Internet not knowing what our rights are in America, according to the constitution.

    • Do the math, Micheal. 13% blacks in the U.S. That is roughly 12 whites per black. The numbers are bigger in favor of whites since most blacks are non violent. They would never stand a chance. Too many of us have put up their shit for too long. I have said before, I will not shoot you because you are black, but I will shoot you if you attack me because I am white.
