“You have no credibility because of ignorant comments like the one you made stating that black men were routinely killed in the streets for crimes that they didn’t do.”

Nearly 3,500 African Americans were lynched in the United States between 1882 and 1968. That’s about one racially motivated murder per week for eighty six years.

Perhaps ‘routinely’ was the wrong word. Would you be happier with ‘frequently’?

You failed to mention the 1,300 whites who were lynched also.

You really don't want to turn this into a political issue do you?

The guy is a murderer and if not for the racial sensitivity at the time he was initially convicted, it's likely he would have received the death penalty and been sent to prison rather than a "farm"..where he should have been sent in the beginning thus eliminating any possibility of his escape.

He is now a product of your liberal judicial system that you are hopelessly trying to defend.

I call BS. Not to mention, more white people are killed by black people each YEAR than that.

You seem pretty good with statistics.

How many whites were murdered by blacks in the last five years?
