Stevenson hopes the (lynching) memorial and museum will be the first step towards a process of truth and reconciliation on the model of South Africa and apartheid or Germany and the Holocaust. His ambition is that each of the 800 counties where lynchings occurred will set up their own copy of the rusted steel monument, which in turn will encourage an end to the silence and the beginning of discussion and healing. (Healing? No this isn't about healing its about keeping wounds open)
Stevenson’s conviction is that slavery didn’t end in 1865, it evolved into lynching, then segregation and now into a modern dystopia where 2.3 million Americans are incarcerated and one in three black males born in America can expect at some point to go to prison. (well, try obeying the law then)
He draws a single unbroken thread uniting all these manifestations of racial dominance: “The idea that black people are not the same as white people, they aren’t fully human or evolved, and are presumed dangerous and guilty. That’s why American society today is so non-responsive to shootings of unarmed black people,(are you kidding? those are the ONLY shootings getting covered) to disproportionate expulsion rates of black kids, to putting handcuffs on four- or five-year-old black girls – we’ve been acculturated to not valuing the victimisation of black people.”

When blacks commit overwhelming amounts of crime we are not supposed to paint it with a broad brush cause that's "racial profiling"
But when some whites in the past committed crimes its time to get out the broad brush--all whites (or at least white males) of today are to be blamed for it and must "atone."
BTW let me know when there is a memorial to all the disproportionate white victims of violent black crime since the 60s.
Says the nation that sold the opium that addicted China.
It wasn’t white people in South Africa who were putting tires around the necks of black people and setting them on fire.
Black on black murders in a six month period far exceed the total number of lynchings that occurred in the US over a 100 year period.

When are blacks going to atone for their weekly killings??
Dude, that was like centuries ago.....
I wonder if they know what Shaka Zulu did instead of lynchings.
I beat blacks, women and children.
I’m a white male sadist.
Cause they’re hardest hit. How do they print such BS in The Guardian?
To borrow a saying from the LGBTAEIOU crowd, “ I’m white, male, conservative and heavily atmed. Get used to it. “

Guardian has to divert attentioon from all of the stabbings by the lutherans....
I don't care about the alleged lynchings. That's ancient history. How about we deal with the hear and now?
“Armed”- autocorrect is on drugs.

What lynchings? I never lynched anyone. My parents didn’t lynch anyone. My grandparents didn’t lynch anyone. As far as family stories go, my grandparents didn’t lynch anyone. Why am I responsible for everything?
Excellent.
Mic drop!
Guardian===> Maoist rag.
“There is (a) class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public.
Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs
— partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances,
because they do not want to lose their jobs. ... “
“There is a certain class of race problem-solvers who don’t want the patient to get well,
because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living,
but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.”

Assholes like this guy should take a stroll through Englewood in Chicago on some Saturday night at 1 AM with a couple of $20 hanging out of their pocket.
The availability of the drug caused their addiction?
That's about 55 a year--less than 10 percent of the annual number of homicides in just one city, Chicago, in recent years.
