Heavy reports that Wallace recently marched With the Not Fucking Around Coalition (NFAC) in Louisville and Tulsa. NFAC is is a black nationalist paramilitary organization that advocates for black liberation and separatism.
In social media posts leading up to Wednesday’s shooting, the suspect identified himself as a part of the New Black Panther Party for Self Defense. The Southern Poverty Law Center calls the group, “bigoted, anti-white, antisemitic Black Nationalist group that preaches hate toward the LGBT and Jewish communities.”
Oren Segal with the Anti-Defamation League told WFTV that the group has “a long history of promoting not just anti-white bigotry but explicitly anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry.”
Wallace posted photographs from a Tulsa March earlier this month on Black Wall Street. The New Black Panther Party for Self Defense was present at that march and a group was filmed telling a large crowd to “kill everything white in sight.”
President Biden spoke just days after that March in Tulsa and called “white supremacy” our most dangerous threat.
