Activist and motivational speaker Rizza Islam claims “white nationalists” are perpetuating the spike in gun violence in poor black communities throughout Chicago.
Self-styled “humanitarian” Islam, who claims to have been acting as a humanitarian since his childhood, made the unfounded claim that “white nationalists” are responsible for the appalling crime rates affecting the Windy City.
White nationalists are allegedly disguising themselves wearing black “silicone body suits” in order to carry out mass shootings on a regular basis and frame black Chicagoans without leaving behind a shred of evidence.
In Islam’s tweet, he writes: “Why are the shootings in Chicago primarily happening over the weekend?? I don’t believe it’s us killing us alone. Not with the full silicone body suits that White men can purchase, wear and EASILY be mistaken as a Black man! The White Nationalists will find a WAY to murder us.”

Some Twitter users agreed with Islam’s suggestion that whites are purchasing expensive “silicon body suits” and going on murder sprees throughout black Chicago neighborhoods.
“There is an element of that no doubt, but we have to stop giving passes to lawlessness and senselessness and lack of moral character in those neighborhoods. That’s the truth and we both know that,” wrote one person.

Another person posted, “I’ve been saying this same thing for years… nobody is listening.”
To which another replied, “That’s because it’s insane. This feed reminds me of flat earth nut jobs.”

Islam also threw his support behind the recently terminated Nick Cannon, who lost his position as host of The Masked Singer after his anti-white and anti-Semitic remarks went viral on social media.
“Precisely! They removed people from their job simply because our brother @NickCannon spoke the truth! These are wicked devils who use their control to destroy lives and then ATTEMPT to flip the victim card while CREATING VICTIMS! It’s over for this system,” he wrote.

Moments later, Islam went onto tweet, “Brother @NickCannon was fired & lost his job with #Viacom faster than the officers who murdered #BreonnaTaylor & #GeorgeFloyd – Think about this! America doesn’t give a DAMN about Black people.”

Chicago recorded over 50 gun-related casualties, including 13 deaths, over the weekend as the Illinois city struggles with gang-related crime.
There is zero evidence any crimes committed in Chicago were commissioned by white racists wearing black silicone body suits.
