FBI Tracks & Arrests ‘Black Identity Extremist’ and Hardly Anyone Is Talking About It

Rep. Cedric L. Richmond (D-La.), the Congressional Black Caucus chairman, fears BIE is the new FBI version of COINTELPRO, referring to the program under J. Edgar Hoover designed to “prevent the rise of a messiah who could unify, and electrify, the militant black nationalist movement” and monitor, infiltrate and destroy civil rights organizations. The history of the federal government coming down on Black justice movements as a threat to national security and conflating Black activists with domestic terrorists is a long one. Hoover, who targeted Black leadership since Marcus Garvey, had his agency send a letter to Martin Luther King urging him to commit suicide, and called the Black Panther Party “the most dangerous threat to the internal security of the country.”

 

Don’t be fooled by Trump v. FBI beef…Remember who wrote the report, who framed & assassinated our most visible leaders, who infiltrated & destroyed our organizations and who is engaged in all-out war against Black freedom. The FBI.

Two things are true according to the experience of Black America: Trump is a threat to Black Americans…AND…so is the FBI…have we forgotten just months ago? Or better yet MLK/Malcolm/BlackPantherParty…etc

The “terrorist” designation serves to undermine Black activism and anti-racism movements. As Patrisse Khan-Cullors and asha bandele, authors of “When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir,” note, young Black activists are called terrorists and receive death threats. “I think what we’ve seen over the last four-and-a-half years, as this movement has grown, is a continued, you know, backlash from the right and ‘alt-right.’ And the first time, you know, we were called terrorists, I remember seeing our names on Bill O’Reilly’s show, and our faces. And I thought that that was frightening because I know who watches Bill O’Reilly,” Khan-Cullors recently said on “Democracy Now!”

“The truth is that the threat to police does not come from the black community. The threat from police — it certainly doesn’t come from black activists. It certainly doesn’t come from us. It comes from, typically, aggrieved, angry, crazy — whatever we want to call it — white men,” bandele added, highlighting the need for Black people to tell their stories to avoid the rewriting of history “by those who are lying.”

The FBI focus on Black Identity Extremists comes as white men emerge as America’s preeminent domestic terror threat, killing more Americans than are Islamic terrorists. According to a report from the Anti-Defamation League, white supremacists have killed 51 police officers since 1990, as opposed to 11 officers killed by left-wing groups. White supremacists are infiltrating law enforcement across the country, a situation of which the FBI is aware and investigating. Yet, while the FBI has designated Black Identity Extremists as a terror threat, it has not similarly identified white extremist groups who are killing the vast majority of police, suggesting politics rather than data are at play. At a November 2017 oversight hearing before the House Judiciary Committee Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.) pressed Attorney General Jeff Sessions on this racial discrepancy.
