Added DiffLines:

* RuleOfSymbolism: Just like the titular Judas, Bill is a friend of the "messiah" given money to betray him and eventually lead him to his death, [[spoiler:and just like Judas he kills himself out of guilt]]. This is especially emphasized in the ending.

It's now Angry Black Man Stereotype and the example doesn't seem to count.


* AngryBlackMan: Fred Hampton and the rest of the Black Panthers. [[TropesAreTools Very justified in this case, however.]]



* NiceGuy: While his impassioned speeches give him [[HeroWithBadPublicity a bad reputation]] as an AngryBlackMan, Fred Hampton is a hero who fights for the oppressed and cares deeply for those around him.

* ChummyCommie: Fred Hampton is a socialist and repeatedly references the theories of UsefulNotes/MaoZedong. The film treats him as an inspirational, heroic figure.

I could be wrong, but it doesn't seem like we still need preview links when a film was released nearly a year ago

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Already uncomfortable with his work against the Black Panthers, Bill is disgusted with himself when [[spoiler: he helps plan Fred's assassination]]. While we can't know for sure, it's most likely not a coincidence that he [[spoiler: [[DrivenGoSuicide killed himself]]]] the night a documentary featuring him admitting to his involvement in the matter aired.

Added DiffLines:

* TitleDrop: The title is partway dropped when Hoover is giving the briefing to his FBI agents about Hampton and the need to stop him. As Hoover puts it, Hampton has every chance of being "A Black Messiah" in the vein of Martin Luther King Jr and Malcolm X, so they must stop him before it comes to that.
