This adds on to what I was saying in the other topic about how white supremacy is an attack on white people too but they are too stupid to see it. Think about the most well known black leaders that were assassinated.
MLK lived to get the Civil Rights act passed. His next move was to basically unify people across racial lines and push the agenda that Bernie Sanders is pushing now. That's when he was assassinated.
When X was all about black rights and didn't give a fuck about anyone else, he was safe. As soon as he started talking about how black rights could be achieved by working with others and not necessarily seeing others as the enemy, he was assassinated.
Now look at Fred Hampton. When the BPP was believed to just be serving the black community, their leaders largely managed to stay alive even with the negative propaganda against them. As soon, as they started getting other races, particularly whites involved, to start a huge movement to benefit blacks and other poor people, Hampton was assassinated.
The point is that as I've said time and time again, racism as a concept in this country was created to keep the people from forming a united front to fight on behalf of the common man. Every time a black leader steps beyond trying to win for blacks and towards trying to actually make the country a better place, that leader has been killed. The people in power don't care about throwing crumbs to black people her and there to make us feel like we're accomplishing something. What they absolutely won't allow is for black people to use our struggle to enact change that robs them of their power.
