Terrorist Micah Xavier Johnson was identified as responsible for the shooting and murder of Dallas Police on July 7, 2016. Micah Johnson shot 12 police officers and two civilians, killing five of the officers, who were shot by Johnson in a sniper-style, elevated location. The terrorist was killed in a parking lot, after refusing to negotiate. It was the deadliest day for law enforcement officers since 9/11. The U.S. Army said that Johnson was a part of the Army Reserve for six years and served for nine months in Afghanistan, where he received military training in weapons.
Dallas police say Johnson had bomb-making materials, ballistic vests, rifles, ammunition, and a personal journal of combat tactics at his home. It was reported that Johnson sought to “exterminate whites,” especially white officers, according to Texas local media. The report also stated Johnson had been a part of the Houston chapter of the New Black Panther party a few years ago.
CBS News also reported that terrorist Micah Xavier Johnson was also a supporter on social media of the Nation of Islam (NOI), which is led by Louis Farrakhan, as well as the Black Riders Liberation Party. It must be understood that the NOI hate group does not recognize white people as “human beings,” but rather than “white devils” that were created through a mystical process they call “grafting,” and who had not “evolved” as human beings.
On July 8, 2016, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) wrote that: “Micah Xavier Johnson, the man identified by police as the sniper who shot 12 law enforcement officers at a protest in Dallas last night, was a fan of black separatist hate groups monitored by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Johnson liked on Facebook the New Black Panther Party (NBPP), the Nation of Islam and the Black Riders Liberation Party, all listed by the SPLC as hate groups.”
On July 11, 2016, CNN reported that an extremist Facebook page supporting the Nation of Islam group defended the terrorist act: “After the shootings and the death of Johnson, one of those Facebook sites devoted to the teachings of Elijah Mohammed took a page form the online playbook of ISIS and made the Dallas cop killer a martyr.
The site posted Johnson’s photo with the message, ‘R.I.P.’ for the man who ‘stood up to injustice.’ ”
Micah Xavier Johnson appeared in a photograph at an event with “hip hop” musician Richard Griffin, known as “Professor Griff,” who made songs with extreme lyrics. Richard Griffin was known for racist statements, and Griffin was a member of the Nation of Islam. On July 8, 2016, although Richard Griffin posed in an embrace of terrorist Micah Xavier Johnson, Richard Griffin stated that he did not know him.

Extreme hatred of whites is part of the ideology of the NOI extremists, which is described by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). The SPLC states regarding the NOI: “NOI members continue to promote racist and anti-Semitic ideas,” and regarding its leader Louis Farrakhan that: “the deeply racist, anti-Semitic and anti-gay rhetoric of its leaders, including top minister Louis Farrakhan, have earned the NOI a prominent position in the ranks of organized hate.” SPLC has also stated regarding the NOI that: “Founder Wallace D. Fard (alternately, Farad Muhammad) and his ‘messenger’ and successor Elijah Muhammad preached a hybrid creed with its own myths and doctrines. These held that over 6,000 years ago, the black race lived in a paradise on earth that was destroyed by the evil wizard Yacub, who created the white ‘devil’ through a scientific process called ‘grafting.’ Fard and his disciple preached of a coming apocalyptic overthrow of white domination, insisting that the dominion of evil was to end with God’s appearance on earth in the person of Fard. Following this, NOI predicts an epic struggle in which the Nation of Islam will play a key role in preparing and educating the Original People, who ruled the earth in peace and prosperity until Yacub’s ‘blue-eyed devils’ came along to gum things up. The Nation of Islam teaches that intermarriage or race mixing should be prohibited. This is point 10 of the official platform, ‘What the Muslims Want’ published 1965. NOI’s connection to Islam is through its founder Fard. NOI believes, like other Muslims, that there is no other God but Allah, but they redefine ‘Allah’ by saying that he ‘came in the person of W. D. Fard.’ ”
SPLC also states regarding the NOI that “During the early 1980s, the deeply bigoted language for which NOI is infamous for today became daily fare, exacerbated by the charged atmosphere surrounding Jesse Jackson’s 1984 presidential bid. Farrakhan made several of his most infamous remarks during the campaign, including calling Hitler ‘a very great man’ and Judaism a ‘dirty religion’ (some say he actually termed it a ‘gutter religion’). While these and other remarks ultimately spurred Jackson to publicly disavow Farrakhan, the controversy actually increased the NOI leader’s visibility and appeal to many African Americans angered at the attacks on him. Farrakhan’s racist venom continued, to the point that he was banned in 1986 from entering the United Kingdom, where officials cited concerns for racial harmony. He frequently reiterated the ‘dirty religion’ theme along with references to the ‘so-called Jew’ (arguing that the ‘true’ Jews were black North Africans) and constant accusations of secret Jewish control of financial and political institutions. One of the most baseless attacks came in the form of a 1991 ‘study’ ordered up by Farrakhan and written by NOI’s “Historical Research Department.” Entitled The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews, the book uses isolated examples of Jewish merchants’ involvement in the purchase and ownership of slaves to place the onus of the slavery industry squarely on Jewish shoulders — a historical falsehood. While Jews remain the primary target of Farrakhan’s vitriol, he is also well known for bashing gay men and lesbians, Catholics and, of course, the white devils, whom he calls ‘potential humans … [who] haven’t evolved yet.’ ”
