A bunch of black people were successfully targeted by foreign intelligence agencies seeking to tap their racial angst to undermine the US, and now are trying to blame other people for that happening.

Because examining why they were ready to believe such narratives, or why the black community in particular was targeted, would raise uncomfortable questions for the NAACP.

One of the main points of the boycott is that the Black community was targeted through misinformation campaigns with the goal of supporting voter suppression. That's how they were targeted.

That wouldn't be uncomfortable questions at all for the NAACP.

It absolutely would be: why were black people ready to believe such negative narratives about their homeland?

The narratives black people were targeted by are untrue memes that play to their racial fantasies.

Admitting that’s how the black community was compromised — that they were racists against their home — would be extremely uncomfortable for the NAACP.

What is "racial angst"?

Exactly what the two words together mean — perhaps understand English before asking rhetorical questions?
