11 ‘heavily armed' members of an extremist militia group arrested; media buries mention that they are Black
2021-07-04
[American Thinker] Imagine if these people were White! It would be the top story all weekend, and you know it. But they are Black, so only in the 22nd paragraph of this New York Times article does the word "Black" appear.

First paragraph:

Eleven men were taken into custody on Saturday after a lengthy roadside standoff between police officers in Massachusetts and a group of heavily armed men in tactical gear who claimed to be part of a group called Rise of the Moors.
...a Moorish Sovereign Citizens group.
Twenty-second paragraph:

“We do not intend to be hostile, we do not intend to be aggressive,” he added later. “We are not anti-government, we are not anti-police, we are not sovereign citizens and we are not Black identity extremists.”

Update from the Daily Mail at 1:15 p.m. ET from Skidmark’s link in comments to make it searchable for future reference:
Jahmal Latimer, who also goes by the title Talib Abdulla Bey, is the Moorish American Consular Post Head of the Rise of the Moors militia group.

#4  Good find, Skidmark. I see from it that Mr. Latimer claims to have served as a US Marine, and that 16,000 have subscribed to his videos.
