According to a leaked FBI assessment, “Black Identity Extremists” are a new group of domestic terrorists who pose a serious and violent threat to American law enforcement. The assessment is based on unsubstantiated grouping of unrelated police shootings and has drawn much public scrutiny for its apparent advocacy of racial profiling.
Rakem Balogun, an outspoken black activist in Dallas, is considered the first person to be targeted as a “Black Identity Extremist”. After being detained for nearly 6 months on weapons charges, VICE met up with Rakem on the day he was released from prison to learn more about the events leading to his arrest and real-world repercussions of the new “Black Identity Extremist” label.

Tell me why the feds don’t show up to KKK compounds like that
I'm so proud of him. Black Power!
Yet Mark and Patricia McCloskey from St Louis get the support of the presiden for drawing weapons at a crowd. Pray for America fellow citizens for a war is brewing.

dont act like the government isn't infiltrating white groups
pure fluff piece
its marlo from the wire
Pretty sure this guy got picked up by the feds for shooting at someone lol. But of course that doesn’t make the news. I’m pretty sure it’s all on video somewhere
In my country you're not allowed to open carry a bow and arrow (and I think you also can't "open carry" a sword) … but hey 'murica
“White Supremacist Infiltration of Law Enforcement”
this is an actual title to a document from the FBI.

Could use Guerrilla Mainframe in DC right now.
Wow, this is deep
I like what Guerilla Mainframe is doing, but what good are their guns if they have to put them down when police show up? I've never seen Police ask Open Carry Texas to put their guns down
1:30 when he gets out the car the transformation is jokes 😂😂
the problem is that if tomorrow, me, a white chick, decides to found the same group, the FBI wouldn't target me and my foundation as "domestic terrorism". THIS IS THE F PROBLEM…that if this was done by a group of white people, fbi wouldn't made all this mess. its clear that they still don't want blacks to upgrade or stay together to power up….,there is still too much daily racism… and I'm glad my brothers and sisters these days are speaking up. 💪 I wished to be over there with y'all and protest with y'all
…feels impotent and guilty… #blacklivesmatter
What about the god-damned KKK and the Aryan Nation?
Cointelpro is alive and well
Crappy video.
"Weapons of mass destruction, what weapons are you lookin for"
jeezusfvck….. literally being a black activist labels you as a terrorist now
Meanwhile in Michigan white supremacy pacifists pay a friendly visit to the legislature while heavily armed with love and roses.
Balogun was being charged in a one-count indictment with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, citing a 2007 domestic assault charge in Tennessee.
He likes putting himself in danger…
