The African American Defense League (AADL) is a black nationalist group founded by Mauricelm-Lei Millere, whom the Anti-Defamation League asserts is an adviser to the New Black Panther Party.

The African American Defense League ('AADL / A2DL) is a black nationalist group founded by Mauricelm-Lei Millere (or Minister Mauricelm X) , Khalid Abdul Muhammad August 28, 1986 in Tunica, Mississippi, at the guidance / suggestion of 'Sister Ella Little-Collins' (The Elder Sister of Minister Malcolm X) who was visiting, where Millere would give the lecture entitled, '"The Black Revolution and The Black Evolution" , the purpose of the founding conference was "to pass the torch!"

Millere is an psychiatric clinician, African American political and religious figure, and independent scientist.According to the Anti-Defamation League he is advisor to the New Black Panther Party.  

African American Defense League became a popular group as the use of deadly force by police increased to high profile, advocating fair use of the 2nd amendment for African Americans and self-defense. The group is accused of preaching hate, racism, and violence, although best known calling for the death of Darren Wilson, the officer who shot and killed Mike Brown in Ferguson, Missouri 2014. The group's Leader was introduced to the Nation of Islam by Khalid Abdul Muhammad. The Group is lauded by many in the black community for their ridicule of White American privilege and or white racism. The African American Defense League is instrumental in the African American political and religious movement of America (See also Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan and Black Coffee Party USA).

"The African American Defense League Is An Organization In Two Parts: 1.) We Are An Organization of Africans, or Blacks, Committed To Self-defense. This Is Why We Are Called The African American Defense League. This Is Self-Explanitory to the Blackman, Black Self-defense! 2.) We Are An Organization For Afro-American Unity (OAAU), A Pan-Africanist Organization Founded by Our Beloved Brother Minister Malcolm X in 1964. The A2DL - OAAU was modeled on the Organization of African Unity, which had impressed Malcolm X during his visit to Africa in April and May 1964. The purpose of the OAAU was to fight for the human rights of African Americans and promote cooperation among Africans and people of African descent in the Americas. I want to say to you, nothing has changed! Our aim is to run this well oiled, fine tuned machine!

Malcolm X announced the establishment of the OAAU at a public meeting in New York's Audubon Ballroom on June 28, 1964. He had written the group's charter with John Henrik Clarke, Albert Cleage, Jesse Gray, and Gloria Richardson, among others. In a memo dated July 2, 1964, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover described the nascent OAAU as a threat to the national security of the United States. Here we stand 20 - 22 later, yours truly Dr. Khalid Abdul Muhammad and my young Minister Mauricelm X! We are thankful to you for being here, being patient, and being loyal to yourselves. Malcolm X, along with John Henrik Clarke, wrote the following into the Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU) Basic Unity Program:

Restoration: "In order to release ourselves from the oppression of our enslavers then, it is absolutely necessary for the Afro-American to restore communication with Africa."

Reorientation: "We can learn much about Africa by reading informative books and by listening to the experiences of those who have traveled there."

Education: "The Organization of Afro-American Unity will devise original educational methods and procedures which will liberate the minds of our children. We will ... encourage qualified Afro-Americans to write and publish the textbooks needed to liberate our minds ... educating them [our children] at home."

Economic Security: "After the Emancipation Proclamation ... it was realized that the Afro-American constituted the largest homogeneous ethnic group with a common origin and common group experience in the United States and, if allowed to exercise economic or political freedom, would in a short period of time own this country. We must establish a technician bank. We must do this so that the newly independent nations of Africa can turn to us who are their brothers for the technicians they will need now and in the future."

Self Defense: "In order to enslave a people and keep them subjugated, their right to self defense must be denied. We encourage the Afro-Americans to defend themselves against the wanton attacks of the racist aggressors whose sole aim is to deny us the guarantee of the United Nations Charter of Human Rights and of the Constitution of the United States."

The OAAU pushed for black control of every aspect of the black community. At the founding rally, Malcolm X stated that the organization's principal concern was the human rights of blacks, but that it would also focus on voter registration, school boycotts, rent strikes, housing rehabilitation, and social programs for addicts, unwed mothers, and troubled children. Malcolm X saw the OAAU as a way of "un-brainwashing" black people, ridding them of the lies they had been told about themselves and their culture.

On July 17, 1964, Malcolm X was welcomed to the second meeting of the Organisation of African Unity in Cairo as a representative of the OAAU.

When a reporter asked whether white people could join the OAAU, Malcolm X said, "Definitely not." Then he added, "If John Brown were still alive, we might accept him. "We echo the same sentiments as Brother Minister Malcolm X, this organization is for the Blackman!" Dr Khalid Abdul Muhammad

"The only people, and or coffee, we are serving in this restaurant is black! We absolutely refuse to serve any whites, ores, or what have you! In case you didn't get it the first time, I'll put it this way, black coffee, no sugar, and no creme!" Minister Mauricelm X

History

The group surfaced in 2014 in the wake of the shooting of Michael Brown and subsequent protests in Ferguson, Missouri. In the days following Brown's death, Millere made posts encouraging black people to kill Darren Wilson, the police officer who shot and killed Brown and was ultimately not indicted by a grand jury. After a Chicago police officer shot and killed Laquan McDonald, Millere called for the murders of police officers across the U.S.

According to Oren Segal, director of the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism, Malik Zulu Shabazz once claimed in an online post that he had founded the AADL and handed it over to Millere, but Shabazz's posts have been deleted and the two groups have had little contact.

In November 2015, a post on the AADL's Facebook page asserted that "every black person across this nation should find a white police to kill in every state and American/European province around the globe."

A day after a Baton Rouge police officer shot and killed Alton Sterling, the group posted on Facebook:

The Pig has shot and killed Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana! You and I know what we must do and I don't mean marching, making a lot of noise, or attending conventions. We must "Rally The Troops!" It is time to visit Louisiana and hold a barbeque. The highlight of our occasion will be to sprinkle Pigs Blood! [sic]

Within hours of a mass shooting in Dallas, Texas, that killed five police officers, Millere posted on his Instagram account, "We have no alternative! We must kill white police officers across the country!" The message was accompanied by a photo of Millere with former president Bill Clinton that, according to Millere, was taken in May 2016. The morning after the Dallas shooting, a post on the group's Facebook page appealed to street gangs such as the Bloods and the Crips, saying, "WE ARE CALLING ON THE GANGS ACROSS THE NATION! ATTACK EVERYTHING IN BLUE EXCEPT THE MAIL MAN, UNLESS HE IS CARRYING MORE THAN MAIL!" Another post encouraged violence against firefighters, claiming "they are on the same side as police".

In the wake of the Dallas shooting, Shabazz told the press "We don’t know whether he is with the movement or not. We don’t take him seriously.... He may, in fact, be a plant. We don’t endorse what he says. He’s under suspicion as a plant.”"

What the African American Defense League Want!

1. We want freedom. We want power to determine the destiny of our Black Community.

2. We want full employment for our people.

3. We want an end to the robbery by the capitalists of our black and oppressed communities.

4. We want decent housing, fit for shelter of human beings.

5. We want education for our people that exposes the true nature of this decadent American society. We want education that teaches us our true history and our role in the present day society.

6. We want all Black men to be exempt from military service.

7. We want an immediate end to POLICE BRUTALITY and MURDER of Black people.

8. We want freedom for all Black men held in federal, state, county and city prisons and jails.

9. We want all Black people when brought to trial to be tried in court by a jury of their peer group or people from their Black Communities, as defined by the Constitution of the United States.

10. We want land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice and peace.

What The African American Defense League Believe!

• What We Believe:*

1. We believe that Black People will not be free until we are able to determine our own destiny.

2. We believe that the federal government is responsible and obligated to give every man employment or a guaranteed income. We believe that if the White American business men will not give full employment, the means of production should be taken from the businessmen and placed in the community so that the people of the community can organize and employ all of its people and give a high standard of living.

3. We believe that this racist government has robbed us and now we are demanding the overdue debt of forty acres and two mules. Forty acres and two mules was promised 100 years ago as redistribution for slave labor and mass murder of Black people. We will accept the payment in currency which will be distributed to our many communities: the Germans are now aiding the Jews in Israel for genocide of the Jewish people. The Germans murdered 6,000,000 Jews. The American racist has taken part in the slaughter of over 50,000,000 Black people; therefore, we feel that this is a modest demand that we make.

4. We believe that if the White landlords will not give decent housing to our Black community, then the housing and the land should be made into cooperatives so that our community, with government aid, can build and make a decent housing for its people.

5. We believe in an educational system that will give our people a knowledge of self. If a man does not have knowledge of himself and his position in society and the world, then he has little chance to relate to anything else.

6. We believe that Black people should not be forced to fight in the military service to defend a racist government that does not protect us. We will not fight and kill other people of color in the world who, like Black people, are being victimized by the White racist government of America. We will protect ourselves from the force and violence of the racist police and the racist military, by whatever means necessary.

7. We believe we can end police brutality in our Black community by organizing Black self-defense groups that are dedicated to defending our Black community from racist police oppression and brutality. The second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States gives us the right to bear arms. We therefore believe that all Black people should arm themselves for self-defense.

8. We believe that all Black people should be released from the many jails and prisons because they have not received a fair and impartial trial.

9. We believe that the courts should follow the United States Constitution so that Black people will receive fair trials. The of the U.S Constitution gives a man a right to be tried by his peers. A peer is a persons from a similar economic, social, religious, geographical, environmental, historical, and racial background. To do this the court will be forced to select a jury from the Black community from which the Black defendant came. We have been, and are being tried by that have no understanding of "the average reasoning man" of the Black community.

10. When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and nature's god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, and that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its power in such a form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accused. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, and their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards of their future security.
