re: According to the NAACP, 3,446 blacks were lynched between 1882 and 1968.

That is a terrible tragedy, no question. But if you think about it, that averages out to about 38 per year nationwide during that period.

By contrast, 2,205 blacks were killed in homicides committed by other blacks in 2014 alone according to the FBI.

Kind of surprising considering the fact that evil racist white males are the source of all the problems in the country. I guess white privilege really killed those 2,205 people

Yes jim crow, slavery, reconstruction and the rampant raping, terrorizing, and oppressing of millions of people isn't that bad either?

common its labor day, I don't want to work to refute all y'all

How about the hundreds of thousands of white boys that died in Yankee blue to free the slaves? I mean, if we're just deconstructing arguments to mere numbers and all, shouldn't we throw those in the "white folks may not be the devil after all" column?p

Excellent point. African Americans who turn a blind eye to black on black murders are hammering this point home for you.

Instead they are focused on the boogie man that hasn't lynched anyone since 1981. Maybe it's time they regroup and focus that energy elsewhere.
