New Anti-Lynching Bill - 10 years in prison for yelling a racial slur... (accuse, racist)

[DUNNDFRNT]

Did anyone here read the article? The bill was introduced by the senate in 2019, not 2020, it passed the GOP senate sent to the house, ALL the house did was change the NAME of the bill, where it passed 410-4. How was this passed with emotion during a crisis, i thought 2019 was peak MAGA america.

Silly question: Doesn't lynching involve... hanging someone?

Don't introduce those confusing "facts" into the argument. Heads will explode!

Does this go only one way?

no longer. the term has been stretched beyond recognition to cover all kinds of things that aren't lynching at all.

Yep.

And just like I already don't speak to or make eye contact with any woman I don't know, the same will go for anyone of color once they pass this new thought crime law. Just stare down at the ground when walking past black people, never speak to or make eye contact with any of them. Live in the proper fear that is required for a land ruled by "guilty until proven innocent" and the accusation alone can destroy your life.

Ah, the legislative balkanization of America. So nice to see us all being told to avoid and fear each other.

Why do black people call eachother n words all day, but if someone they aren’t friends with says it, they get prison over it?

[ThinkingOutsideTheBox]

No, just NO! I’ve been mistaken for Black and called N word but also heard people of my own race bash Blacks and use the N word. No one needs to go prison for saying a word but anyone who walks around beating people unprovoked like many of he rioters did do need to be locked up.
