HBCUs Listed as 'Potential' Terrorist Hubs

[Mandinka]

One of the critiques of Homeland Security is that it sometimes fails to properly train those who are gathering these data and offers little oversight of local agencies and centers. What's more interesting than the extent of the reach of Homeland Security is some of the groups labeled as "potential" terrorists, like historically black colleges and universities, which are thought to be a potential hub for terrorism. HBCUs were labeled as such by Virginia's Fusion Center. And here we thought that HBCUs were hubs for higher education and intellectual thought. It's not just HBCUs. Maryland police infiltrated local groups that lobbied for bike lanes and human rights. In Arizona, the Maricopa County Sheriff's Facial Recognition Unit, using a type of equipment prevalent in war zones, records 9,000 biometric digital mug shots a month. A contractor in Pennsylvania wrote an intelligence bulletin that flagged meetings of the Tea Party Patriots Coalition and environmental activists.

Too much seeking freedom, too much liberation talk. America isn't gonna allow blacks to be too black.

Next on the list will be Black churches because of their traditional roll in politics and that we cause trouble for potential neo-con candidates for they know how to fight back.
