Aug. 29, 1915: Two African Americans Lynched in Texas

Lynchings were violent and public events that traumatized black people throughout the country and were largely tolerated by state and federal officials. This was not “frontier justice” carried out by a few marginalized vigilantes or extremists. Instead, many African Americans who were never accused of any crime were tortured and murdered in front of picnicking spectators (including elected officials and prominent citizens) for bumping into a white person, or wearing their military uniforms after World War I, or not using the appropriate title when addressing a white person.

That was 100 years ago.

It must have been a terrible time for black people.

But now, removing intra-racial violence, as it occurs most frequently within all races, blacks kill 2.5x the amount of whites every year as whites kill blacks. Accounting for population disparity, black people kill white people at nearly a 15x higher rate than white kills black.

Frankly.....I can't breathe.

The vast majority of Blacks who were lynched were accused of crimes, many of them violent and sexual crimes.

Whites were lynched as well. This is the one point that many like you want to overlook.

Lynching Statistics

You might point out that more Blacks were lynched than Whites, but that's because, just like today, Blacks had a much higher crime rate than Whites did.

From the rhetoric they post here, some cd posters on the left seem to be the most dangerous people in the country.

Waow...so amazing to see how the "pit-them-against-one-another" project is working.

The most dangerous faction in this country is neither young black men nor white conservative men.

It is the very tiny faction at the very top that rules us all. And mocks us. And stretches us. And abuses us, and plants the seed of ruthless competition, alienation and hatred among people of different races fighting for crumbs; all while they (and their next 20 generations) are Heavenly protected from any miseries of life.

Learn to direct anger to where it belongs and then ponder over solutions based on the real size of your true enemy.

I see the narrative will be to pretend to be outraged about 100 year old murders to pretend that blacks aren't killing whites every single day in this country.

As long as you've chosen to assign such a title, where's your thread about black "terrorists" killing whites and other blacks?

Oh...I see.

Again, what is the point of this thread OP? Perhaps a call to "kill whitey" because of events from 100 years ago?

If you're actually worried about "white American terrorists" that would be guys like this.
