(926 posts)to tell me that people who are LYNCHED are NOT murdered? What the hell is it supposed to be? A bass-ackwards version of CPR directed at POC, with a sickening focus on people like me? Do you even know what LYNCHING is defined as?
"White Americans used lynching to terrorize and control Black people in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Learn more about the history of this barbaric practice and how NAACP worked to end lynching."
Unfortunately, lynching hasn't disappeared.
Lynching is the EXTRAJUDICIAL KILLING of people because of their color, their ethnic origin, the language they speak, their religion, ad nauseum. He was LYNCHED, (run over twice in front of his child), because he refused to basically GIVE the acreage that his parents, (FORMER SLAVES) had literally sweat, bled and work to acquire. He'd prmised his parents that not only wouldn't sell the land but he would work to buy more property.
That inbred, mouthbreathing knuckledragging cretin then threatened a 9year old boy with murder, (mind you, he'd just watched his daddy crushed under the wheels of a "truck". The creep then added the sobriquet that he would kill the rest of the family, including his "BLACK N****r Bitch mother IF he EVER told anyone who killed his papa.
That man lived the rest of his life with HORRIFIC PTSD. So, guess what? YOU don't get to tell me that the LYNCHING of my GGrandfather wasn't that but murder, (STOOPID comment). Because it's clear as day that you have NO EARTHLY idea that you're talking about.
