The FBI's goal was to prevent the rise of a Black Messiah, who could unify large numbers of people.
Fred Hampton wasn't a threat because he was a Black nationalist.
He was a threat because his message unified Black, Hispanic, and White people that had previously hated each other.
Just like MLK.

![Page from the FBI document from March 4, 1968:
Goals of the Counterintelligence Program
1. Prevent the COALITION of militant black nationalist groups. In unity there is strength; a truism that is no less valid for all its triteness. An effective coalition of black nationalist groups might be the first step toward a real "Mau Mau" in America, the beginning of a true black revolution.
2. Prevent the RISE OF A "MESSIAH" who could unify, and electrify, the militant black nationalist movement. Malcolm X might have been such a "messiah"; he is the martyr of the movement today. Martin Luther King, Stokely Carmichael and Elijah Muhammad all aspire to this position. Elijah Muhammad is less of a threat because of his age. King could be a very real contender for this position should he abandon his supposed "obedience" to "white, liberal doctrines" (nonviolence) and embrace black nationalism. Carmichael has the necessary charisma to be a real threat in this way.
3. Prevent VIOLENCE on the part of black nationalist groups. This is of primary importance, and is, of course, a goal of our investigative activity; it should also be a goal of the Counterintelligence Program. Through counterintelligence it should be possible to pinpoint potential troublemakers and neutralize them before they exercise their potential for violence.
4. Prevent militant black nationalist groups and leaders from gaining RESPECTABILITY, by discrediting them to three separate segments of the community. The goal of white supremacy is to... [Note: The text usually continues to list the three segments: 1) the "responsible" Black community, 2) "white liberals" with "vestiges of sympathy," and 3) Black radicals themselves.]
5. A final goal should be to prevent the long-range GROWTH of militant black nationalist organizations, especially among youth. Specific tactics must be developed to prevent these groups from recruiting young people.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6vwhi5d44wq5ttdhu5rrfbx3/bafkreif2kjfc3vmzfrvuuta2khvkou5sb5go3zw5czpa6xskyiym3epqxi@jpeg)

No one is saying you have to think AOC would be a good presidential candidate or, worse still, that she's the exact same kind of leftist as you but the tone of coverage is really laying bare how much of the media is run by men who hate younger women they perceive as having notions of themselves

This is a subtle point but I’ll try it out as a “yes, and”: What Minnesota (not just Minneapolis) showed us is even bigger than “love your neighbor,” because in Minnesota, “neighbor” is a more expansive category than proximity. It’s anyone who needs help.
My theory of the moment: The extraordinary courage of ordinary people in places like Minneapolis is reawakening us to our social and economic ties to immigrants. It's making "love thy neighbor" cool again. That's the ultimate antidote to MAGA hate.

I miss when the only time I saw open white supremacists on television was when they were being beat up by drag queens on daytime talk shows.
I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

I am blessed to have never missed a meal due to poverty—I know my homies are not so fortunate. I don't think there's a shame in that. I think the hunger of poverty is God crying out for justice.

FURTHER: “degenerate art” was targeted for destruction. Some of these pieces, we only have black and white photos memorializing. Sometimes less.

Time for your quarterly reminder that degenerate is a Nazi term, indicating the literal degeneration of a gene pool. Things this referred to: interracial marriage! Queerness! Disability!
It pretty much indicates they don’t think you’re human!
It’s not a cutesy way to say “leftist”
