AND TWO MORE THINGS:

Copyright that poem of yours. That one is priceless and a gem.

The entire race allowed and supported it, though

A small minority of whites might have perpetrated the lynchings,but a countless number of them supported or refused to come against it. The fact that this genocide has gone virtually unpunished in every way shows how complicit whites are and have been in every facet of society. Law enforcement, government agencies,…

We should take the photos from the 30's, 40's and 50's and show them to the oldest black people from the towns where the lynchings took place. I’ll bet they can identify at least some of the white people in the photos who are participating in or cheering on terrorism.

The memorial of White men raping Black women would be a sea of plaques, like Arlington cemetery, and feature tons of US presidents...so uh, y’all racists don’t want smoke lol.

“Can’t we get over this?” In a word, no.

My mother talked about night raids and I feel like I seldom hear any talk about them. White men would come into Black family homes and rape everyone; men, women and children. History is written by the victors...

I have been told stories of a family member of mine that disappeared in East Texas. The only thing they did was “eyeball” a white person. Another had to leave everything they knew and move to California because the klan knocked on my family’s door and told them “don’t let us find his ass”. So for any white person to…

What’s necessary and important is frequently uncomfortable.

When the pendulum swings

I’ve also seen comments along the lines of “can’t you get over this already?” Funny, I bet they never say that to Jews. In fact, ONE movie about slavery, or ONE museum has them all up in…

dag so powerful

Dag I thought the kids that killed dude with the sandbag were Latino, not white. Now I am even more mad - just because they sandbagged a POC they let those white boys off - SMH

The sins of the father are to be laid upon the children.

Every year I play Strange Fruit and show a PowerPoint montage of lynching photos in my class. It’s powerful. I have one rule, if you puke, you better not puke in my F’ing room.

This monument is part of ripping off the Band-Aid and actually treating the wound.

A picture is worth a thousand words. The people that can’t handle the truth of those words are not people that I need to be wasting my time on.

A memorial of this kind should have been opened a long time ago. I am surprised that it took so long.
