#TBT 45 years, to the day.... cops murdered a brother on his way to doing great things. Ill take today to remember him and the original Rainbow Coalition. Along with Bobby Lee, Fred Hampton organized the original Rainbow Coalition along with the Young Lords and the Young Patriots Organization. Fred Hampton had already engineered a truce between black gangs in Chicago, but as he began to organize poor whites, Latinos, Indians and Chicanos in the city to fight against oppression, that is when he really became a threat. In Bobby Lees own words, Once the party departed from the “hate whitey” trip and got serious about building real politics, we were a threat—plain and simple. The FBI were always watching us. But the Rainbow Coalition was their worst nightmare. The government and systems in place are allowed to conduct business as usual and remain due to the division of the people. If we fight amongst one another, we remain distracted. While distracted, we fail to focus our energy, discussions, solutions, etc. towards the real issues. We witness and experience this daily. As my beautiful friend Cornelia Rose eluded to in a post of hers, as long as there are sides, well never get to where we need to be collectively. A lot of what they were organizing against then, we are still organizing against today... just lacking the solidarity we need. Weve got to face the fact that some people say you fight fire best with fire, but we say you put fire out best with water. We say you dont fight racism with racism. Were gonna fight racism with solidarity. ~ Fred Hampton Type of clip youll rarely see: youtu.be/js7SIWw7yEE
