“…On December 4, 1969, the Chicago police killed BPP leaders Fred Hampton and Mark Clark. Police had access to Hampton's bedroom because the FBI shared information with police that they gathered from secret informant William O'Neal (Haas, 2010). By enabling law enforcement agencies to operate without external oversight or authorization, secrecy can facilitate reprehensible behavior.…”

In this article, we explain how secrecy influenced the communication and decision-making processes within COINTELPRO-Black Nationalist Hate Groups, the FBI's covert program to disrupt left-leaning Black political organizations between 1967 and 1971. Memos exchanged between the FBI Director and field offices reveal how the organization strategized to conceal its identity as the source of anonymous communication. The Bureau developed explicit techniques for managing the content of their messages, the materials used to construct print messages, and the distribution of those messages. The Bureau's techniques suggest that organizational secrecy involves a high degree of coordination between members, but it may also endanger the organization's longevity and the public welfare.

“…In her case study of the arrest, conviction, and execution of Robert Nixon—the inspiration for Bigger Thomas in Richard Wright’s Native Son —historian Elizabeth Dale sketches an unbroken record of torture and murder of (predominately) black men by Chicago police back to at least 1871 (Dale, 2016). And of course there is the 1969 assassination of Black Panther Fred Hampton, which was backed by the FBI and executed by the CPD (Haas, 2011).…”

The US Senate Intelligence Committee report on CIA torture and the Guardian’s exposé of the Chicago Police Department’s “off-the-books interrogation compound” at Homan Square have again thrust torture into debates concerning the nature and limits of state and police violence. Following a longstanding pattern, key actors framed both cases as revelatory and exceptional and used them as fodder for public condemnation and calls for reform. In order to confront and contest similar patterns of facile outrage, we theorize a cultural-cognitive process of disavowal, whereby the inherent violence of the US state is willfully situated by its subjects in politically and culturally redacted black spaces. Here, black spaces allow political subjects to disavow the many horrors—rendition, torture, murder—committed on their behalf and in the name of security. We argue that these are not simply metaphorical, imaginary spaces, but rather material landscapes linking the certainties of US imperial violence to routine and uncontested acts of police violence and the interrogation rooms, jail cells, and prisons of an intensely racialized, yet largely disowned mass-carceral regime. Our aim, then, is to map the state’s black spaces in order to demonstrate the reciprocities between war and police and to situate the politics of redaction within broader systems of violence and dispossession.

“…Marxism is a revolutionary politics; however it is based on a class analysis of global capitalism and does not view racism as the fundamental organising principle of the West (Hall, 1983). The Black radical tradition is organised around the Diasporic connection of people of African ancestry and the economic determinism of Marxism led to some Black scholars turning away from the movement (Wright, 1954 (Haas, 2009;Wendt, 2006). In the African context Black Radicalism was also attacked in the form of Western intervention against Pan African leaders 6 such as Patrice Lumumba in the Congo (Blum, 2004).…”

This word separation has been misused...a better word than separation is independence Malcolm X (1970, p.9) Black Radicalism believes in the centrality of racism to Western imperialism and a Diasporic commitment to the liberation of Africa; existing in distinction to Black Nationalism, Marxism and Critical Race Theory. A Black radical critique of schooling is presented and the mischaracterisations of Black radicalism as segregationist and separatist are examined. Black independent education is a necessary feature of Black radicalism and the Black supplementary schools movement in Britain exists as a potential space where such an education can be developed.
