This was discussed in the last year around here. Horrible shite and of course most students never heard about this or many shitty things in our history.
There was some other "sides" to the story that thers had pointed out in this issue, but I have no reason to believe the criminal justice system at that time would have done anything in favor of a black man in just about any situation.

With that said, I feel no white guilt what-so-ever. Both my grandparents were dirt arse poor and probably came from some kind of indentured servent bullshite.

Seriously, our countrymen have done some damn shitty stuff, but we are still a far better place than 90% of the rest of the world.

Yea after I thought about it, I feel kind of silly for feeling guilty. But I can't help it when I see people who look exactly like my grandfather and great grandfather doing shite like that whether it's old footage from Ole Miss, Baton Rouge sit-ins, or stuff like Greenwood and Rosewood.
