Fred Hampton

[Ricoapon]

@NIGGAKILLAMF-- My ignorant self would tell you to go suck a dead man's dick, bitch!!! It would also say that just because of your silly ass comment I should knock out the next punk ass low-life peckawood cracka ass terrorist I see... BUT, that's not me anymore! People like you should be thanking Fred Hampton because people like him keep me out y'all ass! Watch ya mouth and ya fingers boy!

[Sedabres]

wrote my senior thesis in college on Fred Hampton - his story electrified me with emotion. we were robbed of a great mind and active soul at such a young age, due to racist cops and FBI and COINTEL PRO who sought to silence him with violence.

as a white man, it opened my eyes to how our government chooses to react to movements from the left.

[RoccRilla]

what we gonna do about all this? it aint 2 late...

[uomomalvagio]

I can't believe that Obama is even being mentioned in the same breath as great human being such as Fred Hampton. In fact it's pretty insulting to the Chairman's memory. I've watched a lot of clips, and read a lot, on the net of Fred's speaches and interviews and don't remember him ever saying anything like "the people should struggle until the rulers appoint an African American president to continue their criminal rule under the cover of a black face" Obama is an act of desperation by the rulers

Fred Hampton born 1948

died 1969 murdered by the chicago pigs

[SideStreamFTW]

Fred Hampton, R.I.P. One of the greatest influences to my life. He died cause he had a voice and a plan for the people.

[raplover24]

good quote and also it was on the movie panthers

[peasah2005]

Brother Fred Hampton is a true revoutionary, because he wanted his brothers and sisters to free ourselves from the injustices we were oppressed and exploited by and still done so.

Brother Fred Hampton is a great revolutionary and hero who inspired with a knowledge of political thoughts.

[fronterapdx]

Any coincidence that the comfort of Das Kapital equals the "safe rate" (+/- 3-6%)?

Don't fret; when they (we?) come to take it, what you HAVE is what you OWN. Gross aggregation is for NOT!

Family, Water, Guns, MRE, Drugs.

In that order; bitches...

[lamborger]

The capitalist class (bourgeoisie) MUST keep the working class and poor (proletarian) from demanding their rights and freedom. They must do this because the comfort of the capitalist class (also called the top 5%) is in conflict with human rights (for example paying a living wage would raise the cost of production) so they must find ways to divide the proletarian to keep them from demanding these rights. A convenient way to do this is to divide them by race.

[vonmises6]

been reading the communist manifesto i see......i agree with meat of your argument but keep in mind that they would not be able to do this without participation of the government and therein lies the real problem. free market capitalism is the way to go. it is when big business merges with government to the point that it is hard to tell the difference(where we are now and have been for a while)that you get such problems

[lamborger]

So they own the government. That is what they aim to do. The capitalist is a very unrealistic and quite idealistic (or sneaky) individual. They will say that they don't want the government involved in the economy but only when it benefits the proletarian, when they need a bailout (see 2008) they love big gov. then. I know this isn't "real capitalism" but it is what will inevitably happen if the free market is unregulated. If you don't think so, you're dreaming. Sorry.

[lamborger]

Even the most "free" of the free marketeers (Reagan) ditched the whole "government is the problem" line with the SNL crash.

[vonmises6]

regulations are rarely(if ever) for the benifit of the worker. captilisim is what got you the computer that you are using, the toothbrush that you clean your teeth with. the people who are doing the regulating that you feel is a neccescity are the kind of people you described in your third sentance.

[lamborger]

"regulations are rarely(if ever) for the benifit of the worker."

Workplace safety regulations are nor for the benefit of the worker? A minimum wage law is not for the benefit of the worker? Child labor laws aren't... etc.

Actually, toothbrushes have been around since before capitalism was invented and the internet was invented by a government agency (NASA) would you like to try once more?

[vonmises6]

why yes i would. when i say capitalism brought you toothbrushes notice i did not say they invented them. what i mean is they brought large scale production which allowed everyone to have access to them at a reasonable price. yes i am familiar with Arpanet i am a networking specialist(mcse) and am working on my ccna. arpanet is not the internet as you know it now. the internet as you know it now is due to private companies. i can get into this further if you like.

[lamborger]

They have no internet in Sweden? Do Venezuelans have no toothbrushes? You're an idiot. Please stop typing, you're embarrassing yourself. You don't even know when to capitalize a word.

[vonmises6]

when did i say they did not have any Internet in Sweden? or Venezuelans not having toothbrushes? i see you can not make an intelligent response so you revert to minor errors in grammar and name calling. relax my friend i am not your enemy just someone who has a different opinion than you do. i suggest you study economics before you enter a discussion on capitalism vs socialism. i can recommend you some very good books that you can get for free if you are intrested

[lamborger]

As for your last "point," if you expect capitalism not to turn into capitalism you're dreaming and even if that DID happen, the majority of people would be screwed even worse. Only 5% of the population can be in the top 5%.

[vonmises6]

minimum wage laws cause restrictions on how labor markets operate ultimately destroying wealth and hurting poor workers. these laws actually eliminate opportunities for low-skill workers and waste resources. In competitive markets, minimum wages create unemployment, While they draw more people into the labor market, they reduce the amount of labor companies wish to hire. i am on the fence when it comes to child labor laws. send me a private message if you want to know my views on that.

[lamborger]

That's not how the real world works. In America, where we have strong unions and labor laws, only 13% of the population lives in poverty. In Indonesia (where neo liberal economics make large corporations the main source of employment) almost half live in poverty. You're on the fence when it comes to child labor? I don't need to hear your views, that tells me your a fucking idiot. OK with slavery too? How about genocide? Idiot.

[vonmises6]

labor unions have always been the primary source of anti-capitalistic propaganda.The steady rise in living standards in (predominantly) capitalist countries is due to the benefits of private capital investment, entrepreneurship,technological advancements.labor Unions routinely take credit for all of this while pursuing policies which impede the very institutions of capitalism that are the cause of their own prosperity.

[vonmises6]

Capitalistic competition is also why "child labor" has all but disappeared, despite unionist claims to the contrary. Young people originally left the farms to work in harsh factory conditions because it was a matter of survival for them and their families. But as workers became better paid thanks to capital investment and subsequent productivity improvements more and more people could afford to keep their children at home and in school.

[vonmises6]

Union-backed legislation prohibiting child labor came after the decline in child labor had already begun.

[sarah20xoxo]

nice video. he was a great guy. did many good things

[Max47Addict]

It's a product of capitalism and the society that capitalism perpetuates.

[red34birds]

From the very beginning (Bacon's Rebellion of 1676, rich whites have used race to prevent the working class from uniting accross racial lines.

[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

[yumabilal]

define exactly in your own words what you mean by class society and ill write you a book. . but proletariat is right on target when he mentions capitalism. . . racism is an economical tool used to concentrate more wealth into fewer hands . . if a sect of society can deem another group as being inferior, they can try to justify unequal distribution of collective wealth to their own benefit. . racism is and always has been economical at its purest form

[HeNicerThanMe]

well said. Racism was engineered to justify certain people having LESS than other people. think about it... imagine you were the owner of a company and you were legally allowed (as was back in the day) to pay a person 50% less than another person for the same work, and work them harder, just because of their race. the slaves were taken out of africa to build america and other places. they were FREE LABOR at the expense of their FREEDOM. 400 years of FREE LABOR. wow.

[JeremyForest]

One of the greatest political leaders in the Black community in Chicago. I even met his son at the Rock the Bells concert yesterday, and it was a historic moment. Fred, Sr. went to Proviso East High School.

[LarueSams]

Hampton was not a racist. White racist society attacked him and he fought back with his words and actions. Not guns and hate.

[kungblao]

Nobody Cares.

[Xproletariatx]

Fred Hampton was a real revolutionary, in the marxist sense too. Its still captures me how a young man like Fred Hampton-he was only 21-was able to become such a diligent, astute, indefatigable leader. He understood that racism was a product of class society, particularly capitalism. He understood its effects, and also how to smash racism. When the pigs murdered him, he had a copy of a book by LENIN. He was a true marxist, and a dedicated revolutionary.

[Xproletariatx]

Its not a surprise that people like rammer257 and other right wingers are supporting Obama. I mean, cmon, does Obama really challenge Bushism??? He wants to stay in Iraq with a redeployed military. Hes not serious about ending NAFTA. He supports the military on college campuses. Hes stated support for unilateral strikes in Pakistan, and said the US will protect its "vital interests" in the middle east (Iran). Oh, and he wants to up the military funding. Definitely not a real alternative.

[peasah2005]

Obama is continue what Uncle Sam has made him do, what else?

America is about terror and nothing else.

Obama is doing what the beast known as Uncle Sam has got him to do and that's of course invading Africa, Cuba, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, China, Vietnam etc.

[krumbum92]

Why worry about Obama? Maybe you should both realize that we are being blatantly cheated by a two-party system. A vote won't free any of us from anything, the elections are rigged. If you want, and believe, in radical social change, then you need to take direct action, much like the BPP.

[NikkiIsMexican]

why did this turn into obama? fred hampton WAS a revolutionary. don't taint his legacy by talking about the politicians who weren't willing to help him out and ultimately had him killed.

[brownhornet71]

The blue print of black survival has been in place for a long time. Theres no more black leaders, and it's gonna remain that way. Obama can not change white america. No one man controls this country. If you have that mentality u want live long. Come together as

as a unit first. Then we'll make our mark!! BPK.

[eklectyk]

Fred Hampton was and still is a revolutionary! We've got to do our part to make sure his voice is still heard.

[rammer257]

ektyklec: Fred Hampton is DEAD! He can't do a damn thing for you or us! Must the leaders die before fools listen?

OBAMA '08!

[whir]

you're a tool.

[rammer257]

whir:  You are a slave!

[peasah2005]

@whir

Nice one, because that immature rammer can't stand the heat, because America is so corrupt and she will never be forgiven for all her evil's she's still doing and just Obama is there, it doesn't change anything.

[peasah2005]

whir

rammer is a bumberhole who's idolising the so-called American Dream that's dancing because Obama is in power.

It was the samething when Martin Luther King was dancing too until when it came to Vietnam, he'd stopped dancing.

[peasah2005]

Bobby Rush is a trator.

Yer, he was with the Panthers, but what happened to him then?

Bobby Rush should've continue independently, but I guess he wanted more of so-called corporate America.

You are the biggest fool going, fool!

[rammer257]

peasah2005: Bobby Rush remains a hero in the Black community and has never wavered in his support of issues important to the masses.

We need more selfless, forward thinking leaders like Rep Rush and fewer idiots like you!

OBAMA 2008 & 2012 THANK GOD!!!

[peasah2005]

It takes an idiot to know the biggest one.

Bobby Rush will never be forgiven in our community, because if he's for the freedom of our people as he's suppose to, then what's he doing with so-called coporate America?

And shit, who are you calling a slave?

[peasah2005]

@rammer257

Yer that's why your supporting the most demonic nation in the world who cause nothing but friction(murder, rape and terror).

Just because Obama is there, it doesn't mean Uncle Sam will change his face.

[dontdewcriz]

Fred Hampton is a revolutionary, Fred Hampton was a good speaker, he knew the stakes, he knew the game the oppressors played, they shot him down cause they knew how dangerous he was. He was actually making a difference. We need more people like this man.

[rammer257]

It's NOW or NEVER!!!

The questions have been asked & ANSWERED!!!

OBAMA is the blessing that we begged GOD for!

Now what?

Everytime oppressed people beg GOD for a Champion, and GOD Delivers, the people are too Deaf, Dumb, Blind, Envious or FEARFUL to embrace the BLESSING!!!

OBAMA '08 our last BEST hope!!!

[headachehaver]

you just defiled this clip.

[rammer257]

head: A soldier fighting on behalf of his people never defiles them; he liberates them.

OBAMA, our Last Best hope!

[psychoinhell]

Obama serves his masters in the democratic party, which is why a nobody became a senator. The party would not of backed him if he was not SAFE!!!  The democratic party serves their corporate investors. So fuck Obama, just as hard as I say fuck Bush and fuck the entire system!

[rammer257]

psychedout: FUCK YOU! You're a dumb ass slave that does not know how to follow the leadership of anything but dead men! Fred is dead, dumb bitch! Wake up this revolution will not be televised. Email Rep Bobby Rush co founder of the Panthers and ask him why he called brother Senators candidacy a divine order from GOD. You are worthless!

[peasah2005]

Bobby Rush is a sell-out because when he was with the Panthers he was meant to be uplifting our people and so he's now decided to become a so-called Democrat.

If we are about freedom, then Bobby Rush has a funny way of showing it.

[rammer257]

peasah2005--Wow, 2005 must be your birth year! Your are so ridiculously WRONG that it is embarrassing! If Bobby Rush is a sell-out then we should ALL pray for more sell-outs!

You are typical of KNOW_NOTHING, DO-NOTHING people who simply live to criticize those actually making things happen!

You are of the immature mind that criticizes winners in all facets of life; always talking about what someone else should do!

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

COMPARE YOUR RESUME TO REP RUSH? YEAH RIGHT.

[rammer257]

headachegiver: You are hanging around the grave of a dead man while your community is dying and you refuse to step up to claim the damn presidency. Slaves refusing to leave the plantation!

OBAMA 08 with you or without you negro!

[peasah2005]

Ha, because Obama is in the so-called House, what so-called deliverance has he got to offer, because at the end of the day he wouldn't be for instance Reperations for the oppressed people of the world.

You are a dim-witted moron, who needs to get real.

[kcg5000]

and most of the stuff on youtube is shit, this stuff gives hope

[rammer257]

Hope of what? We are in a position to claim the Presidency and you don't know what time it is!

OBAMA 08!

[brownhornet71]

obama is a great speaker. to me he's after his time though. he would be perfect in the 60's and early 70's. i don't think he'll win, but he will make it, an exciting race to the finish. black panther kid.

[rammer257]

brown: How do we ever win anything but basketball games with morons like you on our team? You sound as dumb as Magic & Bob Johnson! Senator OBAMA IS ALREADY WINNING, FOOL! He has a 1st & 2-2nds! He also leads in the # of delegates won! Wake the hell up! The door is wide open-get off your ass and claim the White House! It took 400 years of blood sweat tears & suffering to produce Sen OBAMA & like the people of old you deny him. What say you, JUDAS?

OBAMA '08!

[brownhornet71]

Hey everybody has there own opinion about obama. i didn't say i didn't like the man. Your on here debasing me and other folks on here about there opinions. you calling us fools, and dumbass. thats not cool. if your a believer of obama, then thats great!! i never said u were a brainwashed nigga and why are you waiting on one man to change america. cause i think before i talk.

[rammer257]

brown: The one man I am waiting on is YOU! The Time is NOW! What are you going to do?

OBAMA'08!

[brownhornet71]

I'm doing my part here in Chicago.

Not only do i help out underprivileged black kids here with mentoring programs. I also own a business here in Chicago too. Showing our youth, that with good morals, good association, and dedication. You can accomplish many things in life. What are you going do?

[whir]

You're just like obama, full of slogans and unbacked statements. You need to start thinking about what makes a sound argument. Not these empty political slogans you keep mouthing off to people as some kind of an attack. Stop fighting people for voicing their opinion with crappy slogans that have no substance. Start actually voicing your own opinion.

[rammer257]

whir: You are an unworthy fool that is not worth an ounce of the blood this brother is willing to shed to make America & the World a better place for All!

Find some leader you respect and ask them about the blessing to the world that is Barack Obama!

Start with Minister Farakhan, young fool!

[whir]

you forget about the super delegates.

[rammer257]

whir: I don't forget anything! Just remember when the pens are lifted and the pages are dried where you stood at this important time in the history of the people of the World!

[whir]

You start building up the community with actual real community programming and stop lending your will and your voice to some man that is going to be president. Only the people can free themselves, no person in power can do it for us. You must become self sustaining and self empowered before you can actually be free, and i don;t see that anywhere in the obama campaign. All i see is keeping troops in iraq and deploying troops in Iran.

[rammer257]

whir: You sound like a foolish child that forgets with the anonimity of the internet You have no idea who you are taliking to! Both you and Sen Obama are much younger than me so I will use his work when he was your age! At 19 Obama fought for divestiture from S Africa & to free Mandela. At 23 He fought city hall to remove asbestos that was killing people in the projects! The whole reason he left to educate himself at Harvard Law was to raise the people up! You haven't done your homework!

[brownhornet71]

Beautifully said Whir. Its about action!! not about slogans. I live on the westside of Chicago. I see a community, thats going nowhere fast. We must uplift ourselves, as a whole. Not some Harvard grad who lives in a mansion in Hyde Park. If your for the people, live like the people. We must free ourselves!! BPK

[dumaka]

He did win so now what???

[Columbiz16]

like every revolution man die by a bullet thats not right

[lmao08]

how did he die?

[anarchoandpeace]

He was murdered by the pigs.

[BLACKNATIONALS]

...under orders from the US government.

[Columbiz16]

true

[fourcolor]

Everyone please go watch "The Murder of Fred Hampton", finally on DVD!

[RudeBoy170]

UHURU!

[AMERIUSB]

UHURU PUT YOUR FIST EVERYONE

[rammer257]

ameriu: Bullshit! Vote OBAMA for President!

Your fist doesn't mean anything! Claim the White House with your Vote!
