Killer Mike Captures Audience When he Points Out Why Poor White People Never Aligned with Poor Black People

This same idea is why the south as a culture was against the idea of freeing slaves. The idea was even if you were a dirt poor white farmer, at least you weren’t a black person, at least you were better than that.

Fred Hampton of the Black Panthers was able to bridge a lot of these gaps and build class consciousness and solidarity in the process, all at only 21.

And then the FBI killed him.

As a leftist this is so important, also like remember not to be a class reductionist and work on racism and sexism and the like or we will literally never have the rev.
