The Rainbow Coalition was a multicultural movement of cross-racial class solidarity, founded on this day in 1969, in Chicago, Illinois with the coming together of the Black Panther Party, the Young Lords, and the Young Patriots.
These organizations were under the leadership of Fred Hampton, Jose Cha Cha Jiménez, and William "Preacherman" Fesperman, respectively. It was the first of several 20th century Black-led organizations to use the "rainbow coalition" concept.
The Rainbow Coalition expanded quickly, including various radical political groups like the Lincoln Park Poor People's Coalition, Students for a Democratic Society ("SDS"), the American Indian Movement (AIM), and the Red Guard Party.
The Coalition brokered treaties to end crime and gang violence and organized to establish class solidarity across racial lines. On December 3rd, Fred Hampton was assassinated by the Chicago Police Department and the FBI, and the Rainbow Coalition effectively dissolved.

fucks me up that americans unironically put ranch on pizza
I put american style ranch on the italian style pizza pie, that's international dining sweetie

#jesuisyankee
even as a USian i didn't know about this until a year ago
have you tried it tho?
It saves mid pizza sorry
Not an on, but a dip in situation CAN be good but the pizza itself has to fucking suck. Like a frozen grocery store cheese pizza. However I work at a decent scale Italian food/pizza place where we make actual for real good ass pizzas and people have asked for ranch on numerous occasions. We don't have it
To clarify though, on a really shitty pizza it does have this wonderful effect where it's pretty fucking good, but it's like how dip makes a chip better.
