    "If you don’t fight, then you don’t deserve to win. If you don’t move on these fascists, then you’re crazy. We say it’s no longer a question of violence or non-violence. We say it’s a question of resistance to fascism or non-existence within fascism."
    - Fred Hampton (also assassinated for opposing the American police state)

    UPDATE: #ShitMyMumSays, after seeing my post she said 'Don't forget this is before he went to Mecca.
    'Probably if he was born in 2000, his emphasis would probably be how the grassroots of all colours must fight together and emphasise the same points that #FredHampton made about all of us together'

    I agree that point is #ClassSolidarity by any means necessary

    On December 4th, 1969, Fred Hampton was murdered by Chicago cops for his activism in the Black Panther Party for Self Defense.

  6. December 4, 1969 - Black Panther party leaders Fred Hampton and Mark Clark were assassinated by Chicago Police officers with cooperation from the FBI.

    Hampton had founded the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party at the age of 20. He led in establishing the Breakfast for Children program and a free health clinic on the west side of the City. A main purpose of the Panthers was to resist police violence.

    One of Hampton's achievements was to persuade Chicago's most powerful street gangs to agree on a non-aggression pact. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, however, considered the Panthers as "the greatest threat to the internal security of the country." The Panther party headquarters had been raided three times with over 100 members arrested.

    The Senate Intelligence Committee, led by Frank Church (D-Idaho), revealed in 1976 that William O'Neal, Hampton's bodyguard, was an FBI informant who had delivered an apartment floor-plan to the Bureau with an "X" marking the bed where Hampton died. About 100 shots were fired by the police, just one from the building. The survivors, including Deborah Johnson, Hampton's pregnant girlfriend, were arrested and charged with attempting to murder the police.

  7. Why Calling Nick Fuentes a ‘White Fred Hampton’ Isn’t Just Wrong — It’s Threatening

    Frimpong’s video titled “Nick Fuentes: White Fred Hampton. Hear Me Out!” attempts to position Fuentes — a known white nationalist — as analogous to Fred Hampton, the legendary Black Panther and multiracial working‑class organizer. On its face, the move seems provocative — perhaps intentionally so — but on closer inspection it reveals a deeply incoherent political logic, one that betrays both the memory of Hampton and any serious account of solidarity across race, class, and […]

  8. "If you go to school you should wield the pen because the pen is strong too. Wield the pen on these fascists and call them what they are: highway robbers. They don't care about the rights of anybody, they don't think we need to have lawyers to defend ourselves or even the right to trial. These fascists are more fascist than the Germans could ever be." – #FredHampton #BlackHistory

  9. “But when I leave, you’ll remember I said with the last words on my lips, that I am a revolutionary. And you’re gonna have to keep on saying that. You’re gonna have to say that I am the proletariat. I am the people. I’m not the pig. You got to make a distinction. And the people are going to have to attack the pigs. The people are going to have to stand up against the pig”. --Chairman Fred Hampton

  11. Today should have been Fred Hampton's 77th birthday.

    The Black revolutionary was assassinated by the FBI and Chicago police.

    Today, we honor his life, legacy and revolutionary spirit in the struggle for justice and liberation.

    PS. It's not Stalin's Soviet or MbS' Saudi Arabia, it's the US of A who did it and their kids don't learn about it in school.
