Fred Hampton, CoIntelPro, Nipsey, and Judas' Kids ....
If you've ever talked with me, about CoIntelPro, you'll know how I feel about it; It was one of the most destructive operations ever executed on black people -- and it has not stopped yet.
Unfortunately, still, not nearly enough of us understand what happened; or what 'all' they did; many of us think it ended with the Black Panthers; and do not realize it was influential in creating beefs between Crips & Bloods - the FBI has been all in our mix -
Almost any time black people come together and begin moving in a positive direction, the FBI finds a way to infiltrate; often using someone who looks just like we do; talks like we do; so they can fit in, get in good with the people at the top, and Derail the movement from within.
The method of dealing with our positive movements, do not always include Killing ---> although, until I see ole boy who killed Nip actually Sentenced to Jail for what he did; I keep hearing about setbacks and it keeps falling off the radar; IT 'seems' like he is being protected --- > so I'm still thinking he was 'sent' by the FBI to murk Nip; b/c Nip was about to influence way too much positivity in the very communities the FBI already attempted to shut down ..........
They don't want gangs moving from illegal activity, to getting money legally through business; through investing; through group economics; They find ways to derail these movements whenever they can - because CoIntelPro never stopped.
Shout outs to everyone involved in the making of #JudasAndTheBlackMessiah :: I know there was controversy over the casting of Fred Hampton -- Valid controversy; but much of what is going on with that topic (of blacks from overseas being cast to play historic American Black roles, that should go to American black actors ...) -- Much of that, is 'a branch' of CoIntelPro as well :) ::: It's done on purpose, TO create division within the black diaspora; and it works; However, I appreciated what Daniel said about it; he understands what's going on; he set out to portray that role with as much respect as possible; and He did that!
I've always said that too; had Fred Hampton lived .... the Black Race would be in a different place now; He was more powerful than Martin and Malcolm. He could MOVE The hearts and minds; he was so educated - that he would have inspired So many of us; and the FBI knew that; they made sure to take him out early. Super sad.
But, to parallel his story, with that of Jesus -- was Genius; I never really put it together like that myself; but the Judas ... was really Judas; another lost soul, found, but still controlled by outside forces; sent in - but doing the work, filled with regret; It can't feel good to betray your people; No matter how many cars, clothes, perks, or gas stations come with it. Many of them truly are unhappy, and it shows. Also last but certainly not least - I loved all the women in this movie;
Women played such a huge role within this film, because they play a huge role in the lives of black people. They are our mothers, our sisters - our comrades; I loved, that it was pointed out, that the men will respect the women. The Black Panthers would have done too much good for black people, and it had to be stopped. I hope everyone sees this film, so we can all better understand, what we must do, to fix all that has been broken.
