The duality of American life and death
December 4 marked the 33rd anniversary of the assassination of Black Panthers Fred Hampton and Mark Clark, set up for execution in Chicago by an FBI contract agent. Hampton was barely 21 years old, a brilliant, one-time pre-law student and Youth Leader of the West Suburban (Chicago) branch of the NAACP, where he organized 500 members. Hampton then founded the Chicago chapter of the Black Panther Party and rose swiftly to national prominence. Police riddled Hampton's body with bullets while he lay helpless, drugged by the FBI's employee.
The people who haul white lawyers and Catholic nuns off of airplanes will kill a Black activist in his bed the very same night. This is what passes for equivalence in a racist society.
White folks are being put on some serious lists. Under the perverse duality of America, that means the canaries are already dying.
