The proclamations only get more unhinged from there: "ISIS AND HILLARY RACE WAR PLOT TO KILL ALL BLACK & WHITE WOMAN OF AMERICA WITH MS-13."Īnd: "YAHWEH BEN YAHWEH Taught Us To Vote Republican & is Now VINDICATED."Īnd: "BLACKS FOR TRUMP SUPPORTS SENATOR JEFF SESSIONS" Links on that site lead to another one,, which claims that the "Real KKK Slave Masters" are "CHEROKEE Indians (Hidden Babylonians)." His website,, proclaims on the landing page: "LATIN, BLACK AND WHITE MUST UNITE!" One sign, held by Michael the Black Man, read: "Blacks against Obama." He started a private radio station, BOSS 104.1 FM, to broadcast his radical beliefs, and began causing a ruckus in public.Īt an Obama campaign speech in Coral Gables, Fla., in 2008, he and a group of other protesters loudly interrupted the future president, shouting "Barack, go home!" and waving signs that declared "Obama endorsed by the KKK," reported the Miami New Times. Eventually, he became Michael the Black Man, an anti-Democrat - or as he calls them, Demon-crat - who preaches the Bible and abhors homosexuality. In later years, Woodside changed his name to Maurice Symonette. Maurice Woodside, who denies the cult was violent or murderous, was acquitted along with six others. Yahweh was sentenced to 11 years in prison.
He also testified that Maurice Woodside was the cult member who stabbed a Louisiana man named Leonard Dupree in the eye with a sharpened stick. Woodside testified in court that his brother had helped beat a man named Aston Green, who argued with Yahweh and was taken to the Florida Everglades and beheaded with a dull machete, reported the New Times. Ricardo Woodside, Maurice's brother, had once been in the cult but left after his mother's death. In the early 1990s, the New Times reported, Woodside, Yahweh and 14 other members of the cult were arrested by federal agents and charged with racketeering and conspiracy in 14 murders and a firebombing, reported the New Times. Woodside followed Yahweh's fiery teachings for years, even after the leader allegedly denied his dying, cancer-stricken mother medical treatment and instead prescribed her "vegetables, nuts, and herbs," prosecutors once said in court, according to the New Times. The two men met when Woodside was 21 years old. That same month, New York Magazine and the Miami New Times published articles recounting the sign maker's story.īefore he started calling himself Michael the Black Man, the man identified as Maurice Woodside joined a cult led by Hulon Mitchell Jr., who went by Yahweh Ben Yahweh and eventually turned violent. Rally watchers came away perplexed after one event when white women were seen waving the signs. The signs drew national attention at the time, but not because of Michael the Black Man. "Blacks for Trump," the candidate said again.
