Yes we do. WHY do we need an anti lynching bill? Why are our elected officials wasting time and tax dollars debating such unnecessary & ridiculous bills?Sen. Tim Scott Says 'It's Good To Be First' As The Only GOP Senator To Sign On To Anti-Lynching Bill
On CBS's "Face The Nation," Sen. Tim Scott had a difficult time trying to explain why no other Republican has signed on to the anti-lynching bill that he has put forth.
-------------------------
The GOP is 90% white.
This is Tim Scott:
Do we need any further explanation?
Just more shrimp on a treadmill bullshit.
Without having seen the bill and not being willing to take the word of a blog that won't even link it to know if that's a fair description, seems to me the question "why do we need an anti-lynching bill" should be directed to those on this site who continuously post laundry lists of "these Democrats voted against anti-lynching bills". Stuporgurl ( PoliticalChic ) comes to mind but there be many.
If anyone would know the answer to that, they should.
So I'm sure they'll be along any second now to explain why those Democrats had it right all along.
Any uh, second now....
"...Democrats voted against anti-lynching bills"
They were responsible for lynching blacks and any whites, Republicans, they could.
The Democrat Party has always been the party of slavery, segregation, .....and violence.
They didn't just vote against anti-lynching bills.....they blocked every one.
"Between 1882 and 1964, nearly five thousand people died from lynching, the majority African-American. The 1890s witnessed the worst period of lynching in U.S. history. Lynchings, often witnessed by large crowds of white onlookers, were the most extreme form of Southern white control over the African-American population, regularly meted out against African Americans who had been falsely charged with crimes but in fact were achieving a level of political or economic autonomy that whites found unacceptable.
The history of failed attempts to pass federal antilyching legislation goes back to 1894, when a House bill to set up a committee to investigate lynchings failed. In 1922, the House passed a bill to make lynching a Federal crime, but despite President Warren G. Harding’s support, Southern senators filibustered and defeated it. In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt failed to support an antilynching bill proposed by the NAACP, fearing that key Southerners lawmakers would retaliate and interfere with his New Deal agenda."

"Another way Democrats could keep blacks from being elected ... antilynching laws, but Democrats successfully blocked every antilynching bill. ... a federal antilynching bill in Congress, but Democrats in the Senate killed it."

Yup...Democrats are only looking out for the best interests of black folks......and Attila was just sightseeing.
So much verbiage, so little answer. In fact no answer whatsoever. I just knew you wouldn't let me down.
So here it comes again, prepare to duck ---- incoming:
"Why is anti-lynching legislation necessary?"
Cue non-answer in four... three... two....
And while you're unable to handle that, be equally unable to handle this:
"...Democrats voted against anti-lynching bills"
They were responsible for lynching blacks and any whites, Republicans, they could.
Link to any lynching, anywhere, any time, that required -- or recorded -- a political party to participate is ---------- where?
Want a resource? Here, go look in my old thread on the topic. Strangely enough for all your feigned interest I don't remember you ever showing up there. Lots of others of your persuasion did though, finding the whole topic inconvenient.... just as they whined when I posted about the Tulsa Race Riots. Or the Silent March in New York protesting East St. Louis.
Guess you'll avoid this like kryptonite too. As I said I knew I could count on you.
When was the lastime we've had a lynching?
So why do we need this?
All this does is trying to make murder a federal crime....and I say no.
