How many lynchings of blacks by whites have there been in the last 10 years? To the nearest dozen is fine.
I’ll wait patiently while you do your research.
You miss the point. A lot of what drives behavior stems from what people BELIEVE, not what is actually true. Of course there are very few real lynchings in the last FIFTY years, much less ten. Yet (many) blacks apparently live in constant fear of it, despite a lack of real evidence. (That is precisely why we have lots of hoax claims — the claimants “KNOW” this is occurring RIGHT NOW, but believe the evidence is being suppressed. They must gin up a hoax to warn others of the “danger”. A herd of FBI agents were recently sent to investigate a garage door pull string at a NASCAR location. The FBI knew it was bs, but were ordered to indulge the fantasy, much like making a show of looking under the bed for monsters to calm a scared child. But it was done because to mollify the segment of the population that believes. I don’t know what Arbery was thinking — I’m offering an explanation of why he would risk struggling for the shotgun.
