Crime is much more complicated than that. At the end of the day, AAs share more in common with white southerners than any other group.

If 75 of them hadn't shown up armed at the courthouse and killed 10 white folks it never would have happened.


frick that. How about if a mob of white people didn't show up to lynch someone (they recently lynched a white guy so this was clearly a credible threat) it would have never happened.

The black people that responded thought (mistakenly) they had been asked to support law enforcement by the sheriff.

Not sure we really want to condemn armed citizens who want to stand up to a mob.

Any of those high quality VOX videos apologize to you for lying to you about the origin of Covid just to spite Trump?

Just skate around acknowledging that the black mob killed 10 people, which kicked off the ball...

A mob of any race doing that to another might want to expect a response.

They were disappointed they didn't find anything...

Yeah, because there is no evidence to support the claims of 300 dead that libs so want to be true.

The state already went through the records back in 2001. 39 deaths between both blacks and whites.

eta-Not surprising since it's Wapo, but they just say whites marched on Greenwood with no mention at all of the ten dead at the courthouse.

Yeah, that's why we haven't been hearing about it for decades. I guess enough time passed and witnesses all died, so they could spin their bullshite about it.
WTF do you even think you mean? In the era of lynching, a group of black citizens LEGALLY assembled at the courthouse in case there was another attempted lynching and they were set upon. And even if that weren't the case, whites went on an absolute rampage of killing, imprisoning and destruction.

WTF is up with you assholes having to perpetually whitewash actual history? Are you really pretending that blacks were to blame for the atrocities they endured in their home American city?

Again….. someone man up and answer this…. Why the passion for this and none for fhe massive amounts of blacks killed by gang violence each weekend. The numbers that are mourned for here are killed week after week after week after week in liberal ran cities.

Yet.. something that happened a century ago is noted.











Pop quiz! What was the name is the innocent little girl shot and killed outside of the Wendy’s in Atlanta during the riots there??? No Google? You don’t know?!?!? Why do you not? You know the name George Floyd. Why not her?



Cmon. Attempt a coherent answer.

Democrats created that environment. They instigated a lot of white people to hate black people. To view them as evil or lesser. Democrats spread a lot of antiblack propaganda. Making it so that black people believed (rightfully at times) that they would be lynched if they committed any crime against a white person.

What's disappointing is that instead of getting rid of skewed legal systems, we just went the other direction. Modern hate crime laws work in pretty much the same way. Ifa black person attacks a white person for being white, it's not considered a big deal..but if a white person attacks a black person for being black, then that white person is pretty much imprisoned for over a decade.

Passion? It's just history. Ask the history deniers in this thread why they are so eager to deny history.
