So let me get this straight...going down the road they are praying for...some klansmen dragged him to the middle of campus, broke his legs as he screamed in agony, and lunched him, in public...then disappeared without a trace?


Yeah that seems totally plausible

From what I recall Cleveland is one of the towns with the most whites in the delta.
So, it probably has like 2000 in total

It is pretty Sus but isn’t the area like 60%+ black?


I just read the Delta State was 36% black and 52% white back in 2023 (rest in various single digits). In 2020 the city of Cleveland was 49.3% black and 43.6% white, and the county was 64% black.

I know someone who grew up in Cleveland, and the number of blacks today has likely push past 50%. I thought it had passed 50% before 2020, but the total population for the city and county keeps dropping making it not just about who is moving in but who is moving out.

It feels like it for Delta standards. My high school in the 80s was maybe 60% white and there was also a private academy there too. However just north nearby was Mound Bayou the only 100% black town in the US.

I frequent the Mississippi delta. Am deeply familiar with it.

I'm skeptical of, "unconfirmed reports," and the OP should've left that shite out.

Hell, the op'er could be that unconfirmed report. He didn't cite any information whatsoever.

That said, there's not a single individual reading this post with walking around sense, coupled with knowledge of Cleveland, Mississippi circa 2025, that would believe this young man was lynched by white people.

Because let's just go on and get that out there: a white, "mAgA" Republican didn't break a black man's legs and hang him in Cleveland. That shite ain't flying any more.

Prayers to his family, and to him, and hopefully he didn't decide to cause even more strife on his way out with his suicide (which is a leading cause of death for black males), and OP: cut this shite out with your supposed, "unconfirmed" sources with no trace of citation of said sources, because it's worn out.

I don’t subscribe to your desires, but for you children to deny these things happened just fits in with your ignorance of reality.

This has happened in the past and every time a black man hangs himself whitey gets blamed.

I wouldn’t be surprised but I would be prone to not believe that in these times.

Maybe he just wanted to stir up some shite and die too.
