Have you guys heard of Fred Hampton?
His story is super interesting, and more than a little terrifying.
Seeing as Jow Forums users so often engage in conspiracy theorizing (with very little legitimate basis), I find it weird that the murder by the government of a black revolutionary is never discussed. It's one of the best pieces of evidence that the US government is basically full of fascists and white supremacists.
My guess is that you're all implicitly racist, and a bunch of you are straight up Nazi's, so you'll never pay attention to or care about real government-led atrocities so long as they were victimizing black people or socialists.
Here's some stuff from his wiki article:
>Fred Hampton was an African-American activist and revolutionary, chairman of a chapter of the Black Panther Party, and deputy chairman of the national BPP.
>In 1966 Hampton enrolled at College, majoring in pre-law. He planned to become familiar with the legal system, to use it as a defense against police. He and fellow Black Panthers would follow police, watching out for police brutality, and used this knowledge of law as a defense.
>He became active in the NAACP. As an NAACP youth organizer, Hampton worked to get more and better recreational facilities established in neighborhoods, and to improve educational resources for Maywood's impoverished black community.
>Hampton hoped to achieve social change through community organizing and nonviolent activism.
>Hampton and his associates made a number of significant achievements in Chicago. Perhaps his most important accomplishment was his brokering of a nonaggression pact between Chicago's most powerful street gangs. Emphasizing that racial and ethnic conflict between gangs would only keep its members entrenched in poverty.
>Hampton was killed during a raid by a tactical unit of the Cook County State's Attorney's Office, with the Chicago Police Department and the FBI in December 1969.
