FBI report on black 'extremists' raises new monitoring fears
Associated Press ^ | Nov 18, 2017 11:43 AM EST | Sadie Gurman and Russell Contreras

An FBI report on the rise of black “extremists” is stirring fears of a return to practices used during the civil rights movement, when the bureau spied on activist groups without evidence they had broken any laws.

The FBI said it doesn’t target specific groups, and the report is one of many its intelligence analysts produce to make law enforcement aware of what they see as emerging trends. A similar bulletin on white supremacists, for example, came out about the same time.

The 12-page report, issued in August, says “black identity extremists” are increasingly targeting law enforcement after police killings of black men, especially since the shooting of Michael Brown roiled Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014. The report describes cases in which “extremists” had “acted in retaliation for perceived past police brutality incidents.” It warned that such violence was likely to continue.

Black leaders and activists were outraged after Foreign Policy revealed the existence of the report last month. The Congressional Black Caucus, in a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, said the report “conflates black political activists with dangerous domestic terrorist organizations” and would further erode the frayed relationship between police and minority communities. “I have never met a black extremist. I don’t know what the FBI is talking about,” said Chris Phillips, a filmmaker in Ferguson.

Before the Trump administration, the report might not have caused such alarm. The FBI noted it issued a similar bulletin warning of retaliatory violence by “black separatist extremists” in March 2016, when the country had a black president, Barack Obama, and black attorney general, Loretta Lynch. …

In other words, Whitey must accept death at the hands of those who wake up with protective skin coloration.

I’m sure AP would have been fine with the feebeye infiltrating those “extremist” Taxed Enough Already rallies.

Identity politics are on the rise, and the only identity politics that are not allowed are for whites, Christians, heterosexuals, and males.

Are they looking at publicly accessible stuff? If so I think it’s watchfulness but not “spying” as we know it.

Like the fictional “anti-Muslim backlash” after every terrorist attack.

Bess, I never met a White Extremist. All I know, in Chicago, hundreds of blacks are killed each year by blacks not whites. What do you say about that, Bess?

I got the trifecta if not more for that: rednecks ;-)

All we got to do is bring in the idea that rednecks come in many colors, and voila! The seeds of a new cultural revolution.

As such they’re quite rare. Most “despised” whites are too busy living to have enough time on their hands or boredom in their minds to go out doing something destructive.

Why can’t they just leave out the word BLACK and go after people who are threats.

Tired of the word games .

Nothing to worry about. Stop killing cops IN COLD BLOOD, and that will stop the FBI and others from tracking you guys.

Come to think of it...lots to worry about.

This is the ‘pool’ black extremists come from - violent from the get go...

https://www.amren.com/the-color-of-crime/

Crime rates

There are dramatic race differences in crime rates. Asians have the lowest rates, followed by whites, and then Hispanics. Blacks have notably high crime rates. This pattern holds true for virtually all crime categories and for virtually all age groups.

In 2013, a black was six times more likely than a non­black to commit murder, and 12 times more likely to murder someone of another race than to be murdered by someone of another race.

Interracial crime

In 2013, of the approximately 660,000 crimes of interracial violence that involved blacks and whites, blacks were the perpetrators 85 percent of the time. This meant a black person was 27 times more likely to attack a white person than vice versa. A Hispanic was eight times more likely to attack a white person than vice versa.

Urban centers

In 2014 in New York City, a black was 31 times more likely than a white to be arrested for murder, and a Hispanic was 12.4 times more likely. For the crime of “shooting”—defined as firing a bullet that hits someone—a black was 98.4 times more likely than a white to be arrested, and a Hispanic was 23.6 times more likely.

If New York City were all white, the murder rate would drop by 91 percent, the robbery rate by 81 percent, and the shootings rate by 97 percent.

In an all­-white Chicago, murder would decline 90 percent, rape by 81 percent, and robbery by 90 percent.

Police shootings

In 2015, a black person was 2.45 times more likely than a white person to be shot and killed by the police. A Hispanic person was 1.21 times more likely. These figures are well within what would be expected given race differences in crime rates and likelihood to resist arrest.

In 2015, police killings of blacks accounted for approximately 4 percent of homicides of blacks. Police killings of unarmed blacks accounted for approximately 0.6 percent of homicides of blacks. The overwhelming majority of black homicide victims (93 percent from 1980 to 2008) were killed by blacks.

That’s because they only know how to be urban monsters. We should try to teach them how to be rednecks.
