Just go back and read the posts please. This thread is nothing but people bringing up comparisons that are worse, and me saying so what. I didn't bring up barcelona or 9/11.
A bunch of you want to make the incident where a white nationalist murdered someone into a minor thing. It is not, and I wish you'd stop.
I pulled up the numbers earlier, and lynchings alone from 1868 to the 1950s were in the range of 5000. I put the link in that post.
THat's just the lynchings. It does not include the rape and arson. Or the 200 years before that, because it was just property depreciation.
THey make fucking movies about this. Gene Hackman, Willem Dafoe in Mississippi Burning? Go watch it.
And I hope you're all discussing this the same with all those black and Jewish friends you have.
People here died, neighborhoods burned, national guard mobilized, FBI, assassinations, all to win back some civil rights that slowly erode. And you guys call it a minor thing when the losers in that fight start rising up and killing again. They never went away, they never stopped killing. THey have a right to speak, but we need to keep the fucking volume down.
But y'all disagree with that somehow.
FFS go watch some of the movies.
