David Cole – Taki Mag July 5, 2022

Thirty-five-year-old Nicole Mokeme was Portland, Maine’s BLM superstar. She founded “Rise and Shine,” a woodsy retreat where “BIPOCs” could gather and rant about whitey.

As Mokeme stated on her website, “as the awareness of white terrorism began to rise, black youth suggested the need for sacred Black space.” So she founded a black prideaway hideaway dedicated to “Black Liberation for Black people in Maine and beyond. A place where people of color explore the woods and not feel like we’re on white territory.”

Mokeme moved from Philly to Maine to get away from “white territory.” There’s “black genius” for ya.

Mokeme was of course a huge “defund the police” advocate (George Soros is currently spending big to take over the Portland DA’s office).

Last month, as Mokeme was setting up a Juneteenth shindig at the “Black Excellence Retreat” in Acadia National Park, her boyfriend, 35-year-old Raymond Lester—an excellent black man—turned her into pothole filler in a rage-motivated hit-and-run. Lester, an inveterate criminal, had been a lifetime beneficiary of “progressive prosecution,” having evaded a 2008 domestic violence assault conviction ($300 fine), a 2010 domestic violence and theft conviction ($300 fine), an April 2011 arrest for violating a protective order (five days in jail), and a July 2011 felony domestic violence assault and criminal mischief conviction (six months).

In one domestic violence incident, Lester broke his then girlfriend’s jaw with a hammer and strangled her unconscious.

Between 2012 and 2021, Lester was arrested for drug possession, theft, stolen ID, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, felony receiving stolen property, and forgery. In 2021, he was arrested for assault yet again, but even with all his priors, prosecutors offered a “deferred disposition,” in which Lester avoided prison by promising to “not engage in new criminal conduct.”

He agreed, and promptly murdered Nicole Mokeme.

When I read that story, I have to admit that my first thought wasn’t “Oh, what a tragedy” but “At least they got one of their own.” That may not be the Sunday-school reaction, but it was sincere. “Finally, one of those ‘defund’ freaks paid the price instead of some innocent white girl or elderly Asian.”
