Black men were given the right to vote mostly in theory. You really think black folks were packing the polls voting? 
very few lil fellla
You’re really just making yourself look like a complete buffoon at this point.

Honestly, I can't believe this stupid frick made that particular equivalence. He has to be trolling at this point. Although, given his lack of education about history at all, maybe he's just not aware.

I am just showing how society viewed women to give relevance to the situation, just how noting how society viewed black people back then is relevant….. They had only received the right to vote 30 some odd years prior to this incident, which was 50 years later than black men….

Except it doesn't actually bring nuance, you fricking idiot. Something major happened directly relevant to Mississippi, and combines the suffragists, the voting rights of African-Americans, and the realities of voting in Mississippi. I'm begging you at this point to read any fricking history book.

Also, just to give some reference to women and their treatment in society, black men gained the right to vote 50 years before that of women. Just a little reference for those that like references
I wonder if they'd hang a bitch for attempting to use her right to vote.

I hate saying this, because the term is so overused, but it’s relevant to this discussion.

Lol, that's not the reason I called you a moron. It's because of one particular event in Mississippi's history that is relevant to this entire discussion, especially since apparently I can't invoke first-person interviews or other relevant source material, but you can make these giant equivalences that both show you don't know anything about this era nor do you actually care about the nuance.

Lol. I'm genuinely amazed you went to this specific argument. It's so beautiful in its own retarded way.

The same month that Till was murdered, a black voting advocate was murdered in front of the sheriff in Mississippi. That's a much more accurate representation of how voting was viewed than some imaginings about the power dynamics between white women and black men, which aren't really relevant to this case regardless.

20 women were subjected to beatings and torture at Occoquan Workhouse, a prison in Virginia, in what became known as the “Night of Terror.”
On the evening of Nov. 14, the superintendent ordered his guards to brutally assault imprisoned suffragists. This “Night of Terror” galvanized support for the women’s suffrage movement at a critical moment.
The tortured prisoners included activists Dorothy Day and Lucy Burns. Some were left for dead after the beatings. They had been arrested for peacefully picketing for universal suffrage in front of the White House.

This reminds me of one of my favorite moments of early Facebook. Someone circa 2006, I beleive the 2nd year Facebook was usable for all colleges, someone started a group called “End women's suffrage” and had the tagline “enough is enough”. Thousands upon thousands of women and other “activists” joined it thinking they were fighting for women power. It was great .

Great, but there's still a relevant event regarding Mississippi, which is the subject of the discussion. I certainly didn't suggest that suffragists weren't persecuted, so I'm not sure the actual relevance of that anecdote to your point. Do you understand how to structure an argument? Serious question. You are going all over the place, and I'm telling you there is an illustrative event with regards to Mississippi itself that puts voting rights into relief.

How many of them were hung or dragged to death? Ok.

I am sorry this bothers you so much. Seriously. I can tell it is very emotional for you. I hope you can find some peace.

I think he's more so bothered by that asinine arguments put forth by lsupride87.
