DOMHOFF: ON THE RULING CLASS RESPONSE TO GHETTO UNREST OF THE 1960'S

Domhoff (1986) talks about how the ruling class responded to the ghetto unrest of the 1960's. There was a concerted effort to identify and remove the most intelligent African Americans from the ghetto. Intelligent African Americans were given scholarships to elite prep schools and universities. It essentially removed the potential leaders of civil unrest and rebellion from ghetto neighborhoods. This Program sponsored by the FORD AND ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATIONS was named "A Better Chance" (ABC). These foundations provided the funding for CIA covert operations. ABC could have been one of these covert operations.
This program helped to prevent the rise of another Black leader on par with Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Huey Newton, Angela Davis etc. This was the carrot as opposed to the stick of assassination and draconian drug laws that were designed to put African Americans in prison. Once the African American Leadership was removed the FBI replaced them with their agents. Do not take my word for it. The FBI's head of Counter Intelligence William Sullivan's "Plan to Promote a New Negro Leader" is in the government document cited and linked below.

Haldeman Diary Shows Nixon Was Wary of Blacks and Jews
Published: May 18, 1994
In one entry, Mr. Haldeman, referring to the President as "P," said: "P emphasized that you have to face the fact that the whole problem is really the blacks. The key is to devise a system that recognizes this while not appearing to. Pointed out that there has never in history been an adequate black nation, and they are the only race of which this is true. Says Africa is hopeless. The worst there is Liberia, which we built."

DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR., CASE STUDY
www.icdc.com/~p...
I. INTRODUCTION
From December 1963 until his death in 1968, Martin Luther King, Jr. was the target of an intensive campaign by the Federal Bureau of Investigation to "neutralize" him as an effective civil rights leader. In the words of the man in charge of the FBI's "war" against Dr. King:
No holds were barred. We have used [similar] techniques against Soviet agents. [The same methods were] brought home against any organization against which we were targeted. We did not differentiate. This is a rough, tough business. 1
The FBI collected information about Dr. King's plans and activities through an extensive surveillance program, employing nearly every intelligence-gathering technique at the Bureau's disposal. Wiretaps, which were initially approved by Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, were maintained on Dr. King's home telephone from October 1963 until mid-1965; the SCLC headquarter's telephones were covered by wiretaps for an even longer period. Phones in the homes and offices of some of Dr. King's close advisers were also wiretapped. The FBI has acknowledged 16 occasions on which microphones were hidden in Dr. King's hotel and motel rooms in an "attempt" to obtain information about the "private activities of King and his advisers" for use to "completely discredit" them. 2
FBI informants in the civil rights movement and reports from field offices kept the Bureau's headquarters informed of developments in the civil rights field. The FBI's presence was so intrusive that one major figure in the civil rights movement testified that his colleagues referred to themselves as members of "the FBI's golden record club." 3
