Chauncey DeVega, black writer, podcaster, and self-proclaimed "ghetto nerd," shared an essay on Daily Kos in which he reminds those that are horrified by the brutality of ISIS burning Lt. Muath al-Kasasbeh alive to remember that white Americans did the same thing to blacks in the past.
"American Exceptionalism blinds those who share its gaze to uncomfortable facts and truths about their own country," wrote DeVega. Adding that just like their Islamic cohorts, "white lynchers" practiced their own "unique cultural ritual" that was just as "gruesome" and "medieval" as ISIS "for almost a century." And instead of making a video of the crime and posting the propaganda on the Internet as is done today, whites of old shared "the spectacular lynchings of the black body" through postcards and "other media."

Dems are doing the same to America right now.
And blacks kill whites daily. What does that have to do with the Middle East?
Blacks kill whites on a daily basis, I don’t see the same kind of outrage from this idiot..the left will always make excuses for what Muslims do because they both share one common bond, both despise America
By the thousands?!!!
DeVega is an ignoramus who apparently knows NOTHING about the facts and truth of America's history.
Otherwise he wouldn't be a Muslim apologist, since Muslims sold blacks into slavery, and he wouldn't be supporting the Democrat left, who committed all the crimes against blacks.
No, "white people" didn't -- DEMOCRATS DID IT.
There’s somebody here with the statistics. He/she posts them quite a bit. Are you saying whites burned blacks in the thousands?
Do you want to super-size that with a BARF ALERT?
no moral equivalency. Whites who believe in natural rights, as a group, know that it is wrong. mohammedanism, as a would view, does not think that violation of natural rights is wrong.
interesting. I thought there were eerie similarities between the ferguson protesters and ISIS; just no beheadings. more burning stuff. slightly less rape.
Exactly. It has nothing to do with the Middle East, of course. It’s just a way for Obama and his fans to confuse the issue.
No I’m certainly not. You’d have to prove that happened for me to believe it!
If Egyptians were black, and Egyptians enslaved the Jews, don’t blacks owe Jews reparations.
Point out to these unconcerned leftists the white people that burned blacks were democrats. IE the leftists of the day.
Cut from teh same cloth as the leftists who endorsed eugencis and abortion to cut down the numbers of minorities, and make the minorities pay them for murdering their babies.
Then I guess it’s alright people go around burning blacks again?
Convoluted logic of the left says it’s OK since ISIS is burning people alive.
He must have forgotten South Africa when black terrorists put tires soaked in gasoline around the neck of their black opponents and set them on fire in the 1970s and 80s. Maybe he didn’t forget, just chose to ignore more facts to further his agenda.
Egyptians also enslaved actual black people too, in fact Egypt took part in the slave trade long after the U.S. gave it up.
funny...a third of those lynched by those white Democrats were also white
So, was it right when white people did that? If it was wrong then, clearly ISIS is wrong today. What’s this idiots point?
