I don’t think it’s useful to look at the FBI through a racial lens. It has consistently murdered and oppressed people of all races and creeds from its very beginning. It’s not even altogether clear the FBI was founded legally.
We’re talking about an organization that spied on FDRs political enemies for solely political reasons and then leaked the results of those investigations to discredit his opponents. The same FBI that conducted mass wiretappings, break-ins, extortions, blackmail, murder, and, lots not forget the tried and true tactic of “infiltrating” groups, plying them with goodies and arms and then persuading them to go commit violence, then arresting them.
They’ve done this to anti-war activists, communists, right-wing extremists, Muslims, libertarians, white supremacists, weirdo cultists, and racial equality activists. And normal people who got in their way, or who were just plain unfortunate. And they almost always get away with it.
And they haven’t stopped, either.
If the FBI can be said to have a “ideology”, it’s not white supremacy. It’s the defense of the managerial elite and their status quo, and utter conviction in their rightness to do whatever it takes. And they are just about as beyond effective political control as the CIA.
