Fred Hampton: In Plain Proletarian English

[hersheyslim]

Plain And Simple!!! R.I.P. Chairman Fred!

[Jawilliams84]

It's amazing how young hampton was to be a speaker with powerful words. To make the goverment kill him. Ppl lets take notes we gotta history of leaders that left there words for us.Just food for thought!!!

[lamborger]

Easy to understand, clear thought process and irrefutable point. And it's not just talk, he died for the cause. Hell yea.

I don't know how else to say this: this is one baaaaddd mothafucka.

[Ricoapon]

Thanks for posting these clips of Fred! It feels like I know him...

[freesince1865]

"As soon as these motherfuckers go, we go."

hell yea

[PaulGreen11]

That was the Realist shit I have Ever heard.

[iamAMANdotcom]

i Hate that this Brother never got a chance to finish the fight..........if he was still alive the PIGS will be in check.......FUCK HOOVER....FUCK WILLIAM O'NEAL...its special places in HELL for people like them

[kareembankjosef]

@datascatter Perhaps, but I was only responding within the context of his comment. I did write "I think", which implied the possibility of me being wrong.

[kenricashe]

This is awesome but it's unfortunately yet another example of how the people who have the best chance of leading true revolution are also the ones who get assassinated. As Chris Hedges concluded recently: "The game is over. We lost." The best we can do now is prepare for the inevitable collapse of society.

[SolomohnEnnis]

"[P]lain proletarian worker's language...". Who says that? Fred Hampton you're prolific. Love it.

[kareembankjosef]

@SolomohnEnnis "prolific"-- I think you choosed the wrong word in this instance. I'm assuming that you are complimenting his usage of the language. "prolific" has nothing to do with language in terms of word choice. perhaps the word you were looking for was: eloquent, articulate, poignant, powerful. Just a few words that's more fitting

[BillionGODSun]

All Power to the People

[stikymufinpants]

My report on government corruption brought me here.

[Fremglerk]

It amazes me that people can watch this video and whine about being mistreated by blacks when they're staring at a man who was murdered by the police he's talking about! How can any white person complain about Hampton's attitude? He was killed for pointing out that the cops in his community were beating and shooting his people!

Hampton, Newton and Searle all knew they would be targeted for telling the truth and did so anyway. You're moaning about insults when Hampton risked his life for us.

[hustleking17]

Some asshole missed the like button.

[chadsimmons]

great vid but you spelled his name wrong in the title!

[sivadeferrera]

@chadsimmons Thanks, Didn't realize.

[peasah2005]

Brother Fred Hampton is a courageous revolutionary hero.

He was smart. non-feared, dedicated and he was the main brother that brought in political self-consciousness amongst all our people and people who were for freedom and humanity as a whole.

[Vertsk8er419]

revolutionaries don't die, they multiply

[psychoinhell]

@Vertsk8er419 I wish what you say was true, yet I fear that bling culture has sapped the people of their motivation. Too many people strive to be like the enemy, rather than to become greater than the enemy.

[hateonme17]

the FEDs killed FRED not a people it was a government agency

[cardabanks]

That is my Man damm he bad.

"I am .... a Revolutionary, You gonna have to keep on repeating that. I am a Proletariat. I am the People. I am not the pigs"

Probably the illest quote ever

Be Blessed

[casanovaMIA1]

The fucking white men's house is burning like Malcolm said and we got house negros trying to put the economy back together. letsgo back home and build our own economy we got most of the worlds resources at home any way and then crackers feeding us lies and robing us blind. Fuck being president or a senator.

[iseetheirlies]

They don't want the economy fixed. What they ( the globe holders) is Amerika to become a 3rd world nation. Then they can control us with federal hand outs. They also help propel racism so we the real people in this country will be too busy fighting each other we will not see what they are doing. This is a global takeover by the world bankers, so they rule us all the same...as slaves. And so they can practice their eugenics programs on us all. Heads need to peep the science before it's too late.

[SJamesGray]

I hear that. The banks just keep getting richer and richer while the people are losing their jobs, their homes, everything.

[kayakbruce1]

All our houses are burning to warm the billionares. Plant food , get off the money system. Become literate about basic survival. Books and real education for the children. Compassion and love for your neighbor, remember the bank manager does not live in your neighborhood, why support his/her job with your money?Walk for your health, set a good example and put those cigerrettes down. Put your life in your own hands. I am not my skin color. I am a man, a friend and self determind person. peace out

[cboneofenglewood]

@kayakbruce1

Dang. Cig's too? Gonna be hard, but I will try...

[xLovelyRockStarx]

wow how come white people are being called dumb asses and some said kill whitey. thats racist too! im a big supporter for equal rights and stuff but you guys saying that tears down everything people like Fred Hampton have tried to accomplish. back then not all white people were against black people. look at riot footage, there are white people. why should the color of your skin matter?

[revolutionary1973]

i agree!!!

[illwise23]

Listen dont focus on that issue but rather the brutality the white folks commited against blacks. Guilty conscious hurts. The color of ones skin in America matters rockstar dont fool yourself. You are either deaf, blind or ignorant. You need to wake the F up for real.

[xLovelyRockStarx]

i dont have a guilty conscious because i didnt do anything to feel guilty for. you are clearly the blind person because i didnt say that the color of ones skin doesnt matter, im asking why should it matter. im so fucking sick of getting treated like shit because im white and other white people did this shit. all i was trying to say is if maybe people stopped saying racist shit, there wouldnt be as many problems. youre the one that needs to wake the fuck up and get over yourself

[JawnieMacBeezy]

@xLovelyRockStarx Nor should yu have a guilty conscious. ANYONE that attacks yu because youre white is wrong nd should do more research on what Fred Hampton preached. The problem is with the oppressor, not white people....most of the oppressors just happen to be white

[ipwnorcs]

@xLovelyRockStarx Stfu, please. You have no god damned idea what the BPP stood for. They state clearly, and back it up with action, that they are for proletarian revolution and peace between all races of the oppressed. White people are so god damned sensitive, you think anyone pointing out some racist bullshit that flows forth from you is an attack on you. If only most people were so bold. You must be feeling guilty if you are so damned worried about what you say.

[hueybshootin]

MY HERO KILL WHITEY

[alexshawalexshaw]

i think what they wanted was peace amoung blacks and whites dumb ass

[hueybshootin]

eat a big black dick bitch KILL WHITEY

[dontbeascab]

Quite literally what they wanted was socialism and by that they meant not only peace between all races but an absence of exploitation of any man by any man.

[poopyscoopy5]

It really makes me sad... I would fight on the side of this man but I would be shot based soley on the fact that my skin is white. You have to realize that not all whites are against you. I want peace and a world without all these corrupt governments keeping me from doing what I really want to do. They want us to be sheep, or pawns, and thats exactly what we are as long as we stand divided. United we would be kings. But keep thinking your blacks and whites... heaven forbid anyone was rational.

[LoveTruth86]

Mabye you do not know that such organizations had white allies. For you it is merely an issue of class or government corruption, exploitation etc...but there is a racial dynamic when it comes to the lives and history of black people.

[eyeofthesquirrel]

Fred Hampton didn't promote bigotry, in fact he argued for unity but don't take my word for it just watch "The Murder of Fred Hampton" on youtube he says it himself somewhere in the beginning of pt.2. And from hollywood to msm to highschool textbooks when it comes to history its always part truth used to establish a big lie. I suggest looking up the voices of the movement and letting them speak for themselves.

[HeNicerThanMe]

I still can't believe they killed him. Damn. Imagine him, Huey Newton, and Malcom X all working together. OMG. The power structure would collapse on itself.

[Screamingdk]

It's that time now more then even back in the 60's for a serious rev. All the bros coming back from Irag will be more ready then back in the 60s. And they won't all be working for BLACK WATER.

[HeNicerThanMe]

I'm not sure if they'd be ready and down. the masses have been dumbed down effectively. COINTELPRO get somebody to sell you out for like $500 and a new car -- BOOM! revolution down the drain.

[red34birds]

Incredible new info on this case in the new book JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters.

The CIA connected cop who was involved in the NOV 2nd Chicago plot on JFK was the same guy who lead the assault on Hampton and Clark in 1969!! Must see book. Changed Daniel Ellsbergs mind on JFK assassination. Douglass is now at work on new book on CIA military intel. assassination of MLK and Malcolm X

[Yusuf76us]

[pantherude]

people of today should listen to these words!!..ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!

[MopacMurtaza]

Man if you want an example of what a human being should be like, Fred is among the top 10 with Che Guevara, Huey P. Newton and Malcolm X.!

All Power To The People!

[psychoinhell]

I have to agree. Great man that he was. Definitely the same sort of person as a Malcolm X, Thomas Paine, Che Guevara, Emiliano Zapata, Leon Trotsky, etc... We can only learn from these people an try to be the best human beings we can hope to be. Within the same vision of our teachers!

[MopacMurtaza]

Great you agree man...

[embozcada19]

Well said "mopacMurtaza" top 10 dats right revolutionaries who fought and turn der words into action..long live la revolucion, freedom for all oppress people aboard and at home, we need to stand up to dis pigs

[krizza3d]

BUCK BUCK BUCK BUCK

[JohnHasSeriousQ]

Socialism in this country, International Socialism around the world for the beginning of the end of all wars! International Socialism leads to Communism: Jobs for all, healthcare as a birth right, education as a right of passage, freedom! Workers of the World Unite!

[embozcada19]

well said respect

[Xproletariatx]

Wish i could talk like that. That goes to show, it comes straight from the heart, "in plain proletarian workers english"

[redmunkee]

Definitely one of the best orators from the BPP.

[fysh117]

I love the way he talked, great public speaker

[spatilatuti]

Fred Hampton was great. I'm so glad that people can have the chance to see a truly inspired motivated communicator. His murder by the Chicago Police Department with cooperation by the FBI bears great relevance to what is going on right now with Patriot Act
