On December 4th, 1969, the Black Panther Party’s Illinois Chairman Fred Hampton was murdered by police. But his story is about much more than the raid that took his life. The movement Hampton helped create was unique, and revolutionary.
In the late 1960s, Fred Hampton helped lead a coalition of activists, working across racial lines against a corrupt city government that threatened their communities. At the core of their work were social programs, including free breakfasts, health clinics, and legal aid. Hampton named the group the Rainbow Coalition. And because of their impact, it wasn’t long before they got the attention of the police and the FBI. What followed was an assassination, and a coverup.

I took a Black Power Movement class and we learned about the BPP and I swear it just made me angrier. The BPP was not a threat but was only deemed as a threat bc they did something that scared the US, which was unite oppressed groups together. Imagine what the rainbow coalition could’ve been today had Fred not been killed. The U.S thrives off of division because it makes it easier to control certain groups. That’s why things such as racism and classism exist.

To be as fair as possible to the NRA, they supported gun control laws prior to the rise of the Black Panthers, and in fact explicitly disavowed gun wielding white supremacists during the civil rights era. The also supported gun control laws in the 1930s that prevented mail order guns and restricting the sale of actual machine guns.

@tirthpatel1562
@tirthpatel1562 2 роки тому
@@DrQuak First of all, the step that they took in 1930s to stop the sale of MGs, SMGs and mail order guns was to sheild the production of handguns from regulation and not some nobel cause, although the move was marketed as if it was to keep it out the hands of 'gangs'. Also the NRA didn't have any form of proper lobbying structure at that time. Now, disavowing white supremacists doesn't hold much water if you mirror white supremacist talking points in order to increase sale to your overwhelmingly white consumer base (a tactic which is used by the people who hold the highest positions in the company till this day.) So no, they hadn't actually pushed for gun reform prior to the rise of the Black Panther Party and their innovative outlook towards the 2nd Amendment.

It's not that they're too afraid to teach it - it's that they're not permitted to teach it by the US government. In the US, school syllabus is highly controlled and monitored by the government due to its dark history(and present). The more Americans that know the real truth about their own history the less patriots, which means less enrollment in the military. For such a warlike and militarised nation, this cannot do. It's the same with all imperialist countries like Britain and France. Education in these countries is highly selective, controlled and streamlined.

I feel blessed to have attended an HBCU where my black sociology professor taught about this and many more racist practices that the U.S. government committed against the black community. This story along with the FBI's cointel pro, black Wall St, etc was all taught to show how black Americans went from post slavery growth and independent economic networks to widespread unemployment and crime ridden communities within a 10yr period between 1960-1970
