Lynchings killed over 3,000 black men over the course of several decades. I haven't seen a figure for how many blacks were killed during Reconstruction by the KKK and similar groups--I would guess some thousands. Could it have been over 10,000? Maybe. Then add 35,000 or so black Union soldiers who died in the Civil War (but if the same ratio applies as with other Civil War deaths, only a minority of those would have been in battle or because of wounds suffered in battle--a majority would have been from disease or infection). Add slaves killed by their masters between 1619 and 1865.
Putting them all together the total must be way under a million, maybe under 100,000, for the entire period up to the deaths during the civil rights struggle. A long way of saying that the "millions" figure was just made up out of thin air.
The media is much more willing to put a spokesman for the NBPP on than to put on someone who wants to talk about Obama's birth certificate or about why the birth control mandate violates the first amendment.
Oh, I don’t doubt that a million black people have been killed in the US over the past 100 years. Mostly by abortion and other black people, though.
And the numbers in Africa are truly stagerring.
But it’s all Whitey’s fault. (Actually, a lot of it is - white liberals are to blame for a lot of this slaughter.)
“Who is the “they” who have killed millions of black men and women?”
These phrases have been batted around for so long it is racist to question them at this point. I remember someone pointing out that this country had slavery for less than eighty years after its birth (which is still wrong, but doesn’t square with the “300 years of slavery” tossed around by haters). There was slavery in the colonies, but they can kill British, Dutch or Spaniards for that - as a nation, 80 years.
