Yeah well that is horrific, to my recollection the last lynching of a black person was in 1973. Recently we learned that the pig’s dad Fred was arrested and then released after he got picked up by the authorities at a KKK rally and Woody Guthrie wrote a song about it called “Old man Trump”. The pig claims his dad was innocent and just got swept up in a raid. I guess he thinks that’s a good story since ICE killed Renee Goode, Alex Pretti and a host of people of all colors. His paternal grandfather whom came from Bavaria to escape their draft was just as bad. From what I remember he came here during the Alaskan Good rush to sell liquor and women to poor gold miners. So, it must run in his family, maybe even in his genes thanks to epigenetic medications of his genome! Praise the lord we are all genetically programmed for apoptosis or brain cell death. Nature has its own way of solving problems and karma can crush you!

I’ve learned so much from a PBS story series during Black History Month. Things we never were taught in any while community schools. About the four young black men, also known as ‘The Greensboro Four.’ They were refused service at a Woolworth’s counter and refused to leave. They stayed until closing time. I wish I could’ve been sitting beside them. Or a seat on a bus of Freedom Riders.

There are many horrible stories. I don’t understand hate because of the color of a person’s skin. I still don’t.

I wanted to be a Black Panther. I thought Angela Davis was cool. Of course, being the only white child marching along with them may have raised eyebrows! My feelings of injustice was strong at nine years old. And they continued to grow along with me.

Anymore who doesn't believe White supremacists would go back to doing this is either ignorant (as you said) or a straight up racist cockroach!!!...If they did this to my son, he'll hath no fury for what I'd do to them!!

And don’t forget the Oklahoma massacre where the governor sent in the National Guard and they used airplanes to shoot down black citizens

Absolutely! The "Black Wall Street" massacre was a horror many refuse to remember

OMG! That is one horrible story! If I should see it somewhere like a newspaper, I cry and get so angry that there’s no word for it. And that awful stack of 💩 said later she lied.

That young man’s sweet face…. And the white trash down there still shoots at the sign there. It never ceases to amaze me how cruel people can be.

I know you’re in Heaven sweet boy. Nothing can hurt you now ❤️

So many egregious awful things that were waved off by the ‘law’

Exactly! Those women deserve justice. I’m hoping some disgusting pages rear their ugly heads.

What an absolutely horror. I was 12 yrs old at that time. I feel some shame for not remembering that killing. I was busy being a kid and he never had the chance to be kid. How awful. Those men should have been abducted to the north and faced the fury of the people not racist.their fury.about killing emmett.Im not saying racism didn't mean exist up in the north just that there were more of empathetic and non racist than the terrible south at THAT time. How sad and devastating for his mother.

Of course trump would and could carry out such a thing. Not a good bone in his body. Except his bone spur. He and his venomous posse are all racist and make ne want to vomit

Thank you for your reminderm1

I have those pics in my gallery, while I fight with a racist MAGAt here on Substack that states black people aren’t treated any different than anyone else.

It’s disgusting. It’s ignorant.

Emmett was in my opinion, a beautiful boy. Who never had the chance to grow into a man because those sub-humans who murdered him did so out of sheer hate and ignorance.

Racism is ignorance.
