This racial nonsense is to set up American blacks in a similar situation to Native Americans - permanent wards of the state, with cash flowing in and no questions asked. The outcome over the last 50 years has been the same - many broken, hopeless people.

The goal of the libs pushing this sh!t is to ENSURE assimilation fails - and they are succeeding.

More white people are murdered by blacks every single year than all the blacks lynched in the South throughout all recorded history.

Also, it should be noted that white people lynched far more fellow white people than they did black people in the antebellum South.

Also, black people lynched black people. Were those black lynchers rayciss?

Thank you for your enlightened post.

The thing that strikes me in researching the antebellum South is that lynching occurs almost solely when the local populace lacks faith in the criminal justice system of their community.

Lynching was seen as doing justice to circumvent the corruption of the court system.

But this is merely my observation. Others please chime in.

Will Chicago get a bigger memorial for each year of black on black murders?

Thomas Sowell writes that there were about 500 lynchings from 1865 to 1955 or so.

And a third of those were of whites.

The first and only episode was set outside Paris, TX

It was a Josey Wales type story of Jay Hawkers and Union solders wanting to kill a Confederate who went back home to his farm.

About 10 years ago it aired.
