Lynching in America: Confronting the Legacy of Racial Terror

[S.J.]

>> Will Brown had been captured. A few minutes more and his lifeless body was hanging from a telephone post at Eighteenth and Harney Streets. Hundreds of revolvers and shotguns were fired at the corpse as it dangled in mid-air. Then, the rope was cut. Brown's body was tied to the rear end of an automobile. It was dragged through the streets to Seventeenth and Dodge Streets, four blocks away. The oil from red lanterns used as danger signals for street repairs was poured on the corpse. It was burned. Members of the mob hauled the charred remains through the business district for several hours. << -- Omaha race riot, 1919​

Sounds like something your muslim friends would do. No wonder Democrats are always defending them, they're just alike.

So you think a large percentage of you yanks are filthy depraved animals.

Yeah, the Democrats are pretty much filthy depraved animals. Thank you.

Even the Nazis did not stoop to selling souvenirs of Auschwitz, but lynching scenes became a burgeoning subdepartment of the postcard industry. By 1908, the trade had grown so large, and the practice of sending postcards featuring the victims of mob murderers had become so repugnant, that theU.S. Postmaster General banned the cards from the mails."[39]

Oh yeah, right. We are the biggest problem in the world right now. How are you a brit? Maybe we should have laid down our guns when they were threatening your Island. It would have saved you the trouble your having now.

American Cops are the new KKK
Pasco police shooting victim s American dream ends in violent reality US news The Guardian

Hey thats a terrible story. There are bad cops, but its not a coordinated effort to be bad like the KKK. There are many more good cops than there are bad. You dont hear about the good things they do every day because its not news. They also help people, go on emergency calls, etc. . So the next time you see some cops in the coffee shop, Why dont you just call them out on being KKK members? id like to see you do that.

i feel for that guy and his poor family, But you know, I've had friends from Mexico and Guatemala and believe me, they are much happier with our police force up here than their own.

It's kinda revealing that most of the posts here try desperately to deflect to "our Pres ignoring mass murders", "Democrats", "muslims" [sic] and "whites who got lynched". And even "they were guilty". How far we've come, this human race.

Even the Nazis did not stoop to selling souvenirs of Auschwitz, but lynching scenes became a burgeoning subdepartment of the postcard industry. By 1908, the trade had grown so large, and the practice of sending postcards featuring the victims of mob murderers had become so repugnant, that theU.S. Postmaster General banned the cards from the mails."[39]

That didn't take then, because the Duluth lynching postcard above was 1920; the Texas image above from 1916;

This is from 1926

Ink inscription on reverse: "July 8, 1926. Rocky Water Camp Fla." Local newspapers reported that the chief of police and the sheriff were overtaken by a mob while transporting James Clark to trial in Titusville. It was the third lynching of a black man in that region in two months.
​

And this one's no earlier than 1909, describing a "half-burned head"

Portrait of Will James. Circa 1907, Cairo, illinois. Gelatin silver print. James (alias) Froggie."

"Half- Burned Head of James on Pole" in Candee Park. November 11, 1909, Cairo, Illinois. Gelatin silver print. Real photo postcard. 3 1/2 x 5 1/2" ink inscription on reverse: "This Pole is in Candee Park. Enter section of Washington avenue and Elm st which have Will James (alia) Froggie half Burnt Head." Etched into negative, "Half Burned Head of James" and photographers name, "leBlock."

--- James was hung, riddled with bullets, dragged for a mile, then set afire in front of ten thousand spectators. (source)

So clearly this postcard practice, and the overt demonstration of it including spectating my women and children, went on for some decades.

>> in June of 1920, when Abe Zimmerman (Bob Dylan’s father) was an eight-year- old in Duluth the circus came to town.

One night, two local teenagers, 19 year-old Irene Tusken and James Sullivan, 18, decided to spend time behind the big top watching black workers dismantling tents and loading wagons.

Something happened — no one is sure quite what — but young Sullivan would later claim that he and the girl had been assaulted and held at gunpoint Then, so the story went, she had been raped by a group, five or perhaps six strong, of the black men. A subsequent examination by Irene’s own doctor showed no physical evidence of such a crime, but it didn’t matter. Six of the black workers were arrested. Incensed by press reports and rumours that the girl had died, a mob then broke into the city jail — the police did not resist — seized three of the men, beat them senseless, and lynched them.

There is a postcard of the event’s aftermath, 31/2 inches by 51/2 inches, showing an unabashed white crowd posed around three black corpses, each stripped to the waist.

The victims are depicted hanging together from a pole on the corner of 1st Street and 2nd Avenue East a site almost as far as it was possible to get from the ‘notorious South’. <<

They’re selling postcards of the hanging
They’re painting the passports brown
The beauty parlor is filled with sailors
The circus is in town.
Here comes the blind commissioner;
They’ve got him in a trance
One hand is tied to the tightrope walker;.
The other is in his pants
And the riot squad, they’re restless
They need somewhere to go
As Lady and I look out tonight From
Desolation Row

--- Bob Dylan, "Desolation Row", 1965​

Have had Desolation Row running through my head ever since I read this post. Not the worst song to have in your head. Thanks.

Hundreds of revolvers and shotguns were fired at the corpse as it dangled in mid-air. Then, the rope was cut. Brown's body was tied to the rear end of an automobile. It was dragged through the streets to Seventeenth and Dodge Streets, four blocks away. The oil from red lanterns used as danger signals for street repairs was poured on the corpse. It was burned.

(Feb. 10)

>> The Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) today released Lynching in America: Confronting the Legacy of Racial Terror, which documents EJI’s multi-year investigation into lynching in twelve Southern states during the period between Reconstruction and World War II. EJI researchers documented 3959 racial terror lynchings of African Americans in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia between 1877 and 1950 – at least 700 more lynchings of black people in these states than previously reported in the most comprehensive work done on lynching to date.

... many African Americans who were never accused of any crime were tortured and murdered in front of picnicking spectators (including elected officials and prominent citizens) for bumping into a white person, or wearing their military uniforms after World War I, or not using the appropriate title when addressing a white person. People who participated in lynchings were celebrated and acted with impunity. Not a single white person was convicted of murder for lynching a black person in America during this period. <<

Hard to believe this went on so recently. But those who ignore their past are condemned to repeat it.

How many black on black youth murders since 2000?
Much more relevant to America today, don't you think?

Lynching was done to blacks Indians and whites. It was a form of frontier justice. Here's a shocker for you, most of those lynched were guilty of crimes. Many people think those who committed crimes were given due process while those lynched, especially blacks, were completely innocent.

That's American public education <sigh>.

A form of frontier justice is murder. Almost none were given due process, and if so, lynching is still murder. American education teaches this part of our history accurately.

The lynchings were done by Democrats. And like you said, it wasn't that long ago.

Link?

Sure thing, dickwad.
