See if you were just any random frenchman commenting on American politics this is the point where I'd forgive your ignorance of something nobody outside the states would ever know about. The Black Hebrew Israelites are a large movement with fractious groupings, not a 'personal story'. They're born out of Harlem and alongside other black identity / nationalist / supremacy movements like the Black Panthers, Nation of Islam, Moorish Temple, etc. All the far-left BIE groups are just different flavors of the same thing, they hate cops, they hate jews, they hate white people. Black Hebrew Israelites are particularly nutty compared to the rest because its their belief that the real jews were black and mainstream jews are imposters and devils- that's what their cult believes. And we're not talking the beliefs of one random unabomber, its maybe 40-80,000+, mostly on the east coast and around NYC but also around black majority cities. They're a common sight on street corners screaming at passerbys and harassing them with insane ramblings. They had a major march in 2018 in Memphis
here's a video from them as they protested alongside other leftwing groups after the Michael Brown shooting;

If, instead of learning by heart the false news you grab on reddit or 4chan, you read this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Hebrew_IsraelitesSince 1896 aka more than 120 years; at this stage it will be harder for you to describe them as terrorists or whatever; It's still an exceptional incident.
Maybe as a Murican you should know that your country is full of "in the name of Gawd" shitters ? Whatever is their color !
The real enemy here is social tension, inequalities, and divide. Guys like the prez you elected have such a great pleasure to
blow on the embers, like any far right gov btw.
Why all these events are happening during Trump presidency ? This is the global picture.
