1. Interesting that a Liberal, Michele Norris, an award-winning journalist and founder of The Race Card Project, and former host of the National Public Radio evening news program All Things Considered, penned an article for the WaPo on lynching.
It is the sort of thing government school either hides, or tells as a propaganda half-truth.
Warning....may be disturbing.
2. In the article, https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...a5fd2a-f5ae-11e9-ad8b-85e2aa00b5ce_story.html,
Ms. Norris notes....
"A lynching involved a man, but sometimes a woman or a child, who was dragged from home, heels in the dirt, body contorting, convulsing with fear.
It took a mob, a rabble, a group of several people to carry out the deed. To hold the victim.
Bodies were burned and blowtorched and branded. They were gutted and skinned like animals. They were castrated, scalped, dismembered. It was the justification for human bonfires and dismembering bodies and turning toes into key fobs and skin into lampshades.
Lynching was the work of “good people.” People who held positions of stature and authority. Who went to church. Who taught their children the golden rule about Jesus loving all the little children. A rule with exceptions and bylaws and fine print. A rule that applied only to people with white skin.
According to the NAACP, 4,743 people were lynched in the United States from 1882 to 1968. (Yes, 1968.) Of that number, 3,446 were black.
This is our history. Our history. We will never fully understand how far we’ve come as a nation until we accept and acknowledge the spectacular abominations that passed as normal."
This is accurate and well put......as far as it goes.
I guess an election is coming, and time to rile the voting block.
It is only half the truth....what one gets from Liberals, the media, government schools....
The other half in a moment.....
