It will indeed one day be the nation of Islam. That is unless Christian Hispanics stand up to it in the future.
Not everyone is calling for peace after Charlotte’s night of violent protests.
.J. Murphy of the Nation of Islam, a black nationalist political and religious organization, called for an African-American economic boycott of Charlotte, the largest city in North Carolina.
“Don’t spend no money with no white folks that don’t respect us,” he said at a press conference with black leaders Wednesday.
Murphy said there has been no redress for the grievances of the black community, as young men are shot and killed. He said the discrepancy between various accounts of a deadly shooting on Tuesday — Keith Lamont Scott’s family said he had a book while police said he had a gun — demonstrates the need for “our own independent investigation.”
His comments came shortly after city leaders, including Police Chief Kerr Putney and Mayor Jennifer Roberts, urged the public to stay calm as authorities investigated the fatal police-involved shooting of Scott, 43.
During a separate press conference, Putney said Scott had a handgun — despite what his family told the media — and did not cooperate with the police officers’ commands to drop the weapon. He said Scott stepped out of his vehicle holding the gun, “posing a threat to the officers,” and was shot by Officer Brentley Vinson.
