Oh, I get it. Yeah, this position doesn’t make any sense coming from a supposed Black liberation group. But then again, Black Hammer is probably an op by our friends in Langley, so we shouldn’t expect too much consistency.
They’ve been involved in a couple kind of scammy schemes – like telling people that, for a fee, they can erase their “settler status,” etc. There was also Hammer City, a “decolonized community” to be built in Colorado. The land was pretty much useless – though BH justified this by saying that colonized people have, I kid you not, ancestral knowledge that enables them to farm anywhere – and it turned out that BH didn’t even own it. After a couple clearly staged photos of them building stuff, they got turned out by the local police for squatting. They never could produce a proper deed to the land, which raises the question of what they did with all the donations they received.
They’ve also done a lot of weird performative stuff that seems expressly designed to discredit communism. Like burning the diary of “kkkolonizer” Anne Frank, upholding Mao but at the same denouncing “kkku kkklux kkkommunist KKKarl Marx,” and a lot of other weird stuff. They’re kind of like Bob Avakian’s RCP – another infamously crazy “Maoist” group – but on steroids.

What did the Black Hammer do that you say they are so shitty?

Ahh, it seems Khmer Rouge or Gonzalo but with black characteristics.
