This is racial healing?
“...thousands of victims of lynching...”
Thomas Sowell writes that there were about 500 lynchings from 1865 to 1955 or so.
Getting sick of living in the past. If you’re black, Asian, white, or anything, just be grateful every waking hour that you live in this the greatest country on God’s green earth.
Let’s look at more recent history, such as the case of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom. Warning, it’s sickening beyond belief. It didn’t get much publicity, of course.
“Lynching memorial recognizes victims of racial violence in America”
Will there be a plaque nearby to place the issue in context?
I never read about a historic monument that is being allowed to stand these days without someone suggesting that a college professor be paid to create a plaque to place the monument “in context.”
What about all the Lynchings for Stealing Horses and Cattle????
In the history of the world people of all race, creed, and colors have been enslaved. Atrocities of all kinds have happened, people have not only been lynched but butchered by armies and rulers of all stripes. Yet here in America everything is set in Black vs White and Racism is and will be pushed by those very people who say they abhor it.
Witness Kayne West, he is a friend of Trump’s and proclaims it and what happens. He is totally excoriated by the Democrats and the rest of the Left Wing Liberals who practice their Hypocrisy and mendacity everyday.
I hate to break it to these morons that lots of whites were lynched by lynch mobs.
I hope they point out that many of the victims were lynched because they were Republicans.
Maybe they should also include the (white) Catholics lynched by Protestant mobs in the South and California? San Francisco had a horrible incident where a mob lynched an Irish firefighter on his way home from work, along with several other Irish and French Catholics unfortunate enough to be on the street. The same was true in the South, where there were several lynchings of Catholics.
The KKK hated three groups: blacks, Catholics and Jews. The Jim Crow laws dealt with Catholics and blacks, and Jews just kept their heads down. However, in Miami in the 1920s, developers boasted “always a view, never a Jew” to sell their properties.
So, yes, we shouldn’t overlook this, but we have to resolve it and move ahead. Catholics and Jews, although still cautious in this newly atheistic USA, have recovered and blacks have to do the same.
If the memorial were to point out that many of the lynchings were done by Democrats for the crime of blacks voting Republican. Fact.
That isn’t part of the narrative. Did they count all the lynchings in New York City during the Draft Riots? Ha ha... You get One Guess.
Never forget how vile and despicable their actions are. Talk about irredeemable, somebody’s got a huge case of PROJECTION
Is 1/3 of the memorial dedicated to the wytpepo lynched? And are the anti-lynching laws of 1918, that set America aside as one of the select countries that wouldn’t tolerate extra-judicial justice, mentioned at all?
And why is the memorial in Alabama, a former Spanish slave territory, instead of one of the urban northern/mid-west cities like Chicago, famous for lynchings and post-Civil War discrimination?
Looking at wiki, lynching seems to remain popular in Haiti, D.R., Mexico, South Africa, Nigeria, Palestine (and, not making the entry yet, Peru). Just in case anyone was thinking of traveling.
Just because someone was lynched (black or white) doesn’t mean there was no underlying crime committed by the person who was lynched.
Given the disparity in interracial violent crime rates since the 60’s, blacks have evened the score many times over.
No, this is whipping the slaves back onto the Dem plantation for the mid-terms and 2020. Blacks could’ve put Hillary over the top in PA, WI, MI - and didn’t. Their attitudes must be adjusted by white liberals who won’t live within 50 miles of them...
Will Chicago get a bigger memorial for each year of black on black murders?
Where is a memorial to the incredibly disproportationate numbers of whites are victims of black crime?
