It appears that may have been the goal. Surely some have fallen hard. This reminds me of the low level gov't worker that was found hanging with something written on his chest to imply it was a murder. Many simpletons jumped on the bandwagon saying, iirc, that it was republicans, tea partiers, conservatives, etc. Folks were foaming at the mouth eating up the conspiracy. When the facts came out that it was a suicide *crickets*. I suspect this is SSDD.

That's my point. That's my point. But only "they" have a right to speculate? LOL. We know what they can do for me, right? So, when the facts come out and If my suspicion is wrong, then I'll be wrong. What's the big deal? In the meantime, I'm having fun with the stormfront crew!
Do you have factual evidence to back up the statement that whites are known for lynching? I've seen people on this board make the comment that blacks are known for robbing people, having poor work ethic, etc.... but I think that's an unfair generalization to make because I've met more that contradict that statement and who are in fact very upstanding human beings than those who fall into that category. (Kind of goes back to judging people by the content of their character)
So by your own admission, if he was in prison for murder previously..... does that mean he was going to murder someone else since the past was a predictor of his future? If that were true (and it's not) maybe someone else knew this and decided to prevent it from happening. I've never lynched anyone (or even thought about it) but since my ancestors have done it in the past and I'm white, does the predictor say I'm eventually going to do it?
As far as credit... for a while it is considered before you get more credit, or a job, etc.... But eventually a record of making payments on time, etc... can clear up your credit history and it can be rebuilt. People learn lessons from past mistakes and work not to repeat those mistakes. Similarly many have used history as a diagram of what mistakes not to repeat since we know the outcome had ill results before.
We all make uneducated opinions and poor decisions. The difference is that some of us will actually admit when we are wrong and learn something from it.
Oh please with the uneducated facts, smats, blats! YOU likely make an opinion based solely on the face of the facts presented to you. Why hold me to a hire standard? Because I suspect a White person of lynching him? Well it's not unheard of. Now had this been such a rare occurrence throughout the history of the South, I'd agree with you. Remember: HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.
How many whites were murdered by blacks the same day? Black men are known for murder and violent crimes to a vastly greater extent than whites or asians. I'm sorry, that's not an opinion like "whites are known for lynching", it's a cold hard statistical fact.
How many Blacks were murdered by White police officers on the same day? Better yet, how many Whites killed one another on the same day?

Corrected it for you. Thought you would want it to be correct.
I don't think any white person nowadays would be brave enough to hang a black man in a county that's 85% black. A true white racist would likely avoid Claiborne County like the plague.
It is not yet known whether he was killed or took his own life.
I doubt he killed himself.
however, the population in the deep south is not overwhelmingly white. Surprisingly there are very few blacks in the northwest and Rocky Mountains areas.

If he was murdered, I would think that it was at the hands of another black man. The odds are the greatest in that case.

Well, listen. If a White man in Florida can shoot up some Black men for their music being played too loud (in broad daylight) what makes you think lynching can't make a come back?
People are so bent out of shape since Obama. This country has always been divided down racial lines, but it's worse since POTUS took office.

Could be. Then again maybe it's not. I don't believe this is the case though.
