We got to face some facts. That the masses are poor, that the masses belong to what you call the lower class, and when I talk about the masses, I’m talking about the white masses, I’m talking about the black masses, and the brown masses, and the yellow masses, too. We’ve got to face the fact that some people say you fight fire best with fire, but we say you put fire out best with water. We say you don’t fight racism with racism. We’re gonna fight racism with solidarity. We say you don’t fight capitalism with no black capitalism; you fight capitalism with socialism. -Fred Hampton

    It’s so weak to class voting demographics by race anymore. It’s just not accurate and just a little racist

        This is the dumbest thing anyone has tried to accuse me of.

        It doesn’t matter if he’s black, he’s limping people by their race and applying a general belief onto them

        There’s a word for that. And also the practice is entirely inaccurate and inappropriate
