BRINGING BLACK HISTORY TO LIFE

Lynching

bodylg.jpgFor a while now I have been Facsnated with the tale of lynching in this country.The tale of lynching includes all races both men and women. But it is more than obvious that black people where the overwhelming victims of this shameful american pasttime.  Although this is a unfortunate and tragic time in American history it is also rich and interesting. This tragedy features thousands lynchings and millions of outrageous incidents designed to opress the black american population. Things such as W. E.B Dubois finding a black mans severed Knucles at a downtown atlanta department store, or James Weldon Johnson almost bieng lynched by the Florida National gaurd for escorting an african american lady who looked white in public, or the spectacle lynchings of Jesse Washington and  Marry Turner.

I plan on following up my podcast and presentations with podcast with interviews of historians and social scientist who have studied this outrageous American subject.  The excuse/justification for lynching was usually rape of white women by black men  but a careful study of the recorod reveals the real reason for this discaple behavior was simply southern societies refusal to accept black people as human biengs or treat them as human biengs and american citizens entitled to the rights enjoyed by them.

It is only posible to treat humans the way white southern society(america to be truthful) treated black people after you have convinced them and yourself that they are inferior.

I plan to follow up this post extensively with other post about lynching in more specific details. My aim is to demonstrate that the Federal goverments and State Goverment allowed and even assisted a system they knew violated American Laws that ensure freedom and protection to all of its citizens. It is my objective to use material that is well verified, documented and accepted by all credible historians and socials scientist which will prove that the federal and state goverment’s all over America knew  exactly what was going on and some goverments (which black people pay taxes to)  even participated in the
1) Murders of thousands of black people
2) Attrocities committed against black people
3) Constitutionally illegal policies  that cause the black population great pain and harm
4) Taxation without representation

This video cast by Goode Davis is example the type of material I will be posting, recording and linking to. I hope you find this podcast interesting. Mark Bey

  6. I am doing a paper in my African American Literature class and I decided to choose the topic of Lynching and how it affected African American writers. In my brief two days of gathering material, I found myself completely horrified at the injustice towards African Americans. I seen a picture of a Black man hanging WITH young children watching on WITH glee. I was more horrified just seeing these childrens faces. Lynching is part of American History, and children need to know of it. Showing pictures of it is at the disgretion of parents, but i do not know what is worse denying the truth of our past as if it never happened or letting children see graphic programs or video games. If we deny our past, we are just as bad as those people who committed these horrible crimes against African Americans.

  8. to the person who commented about the “pinata” I dare you to say that in public in front of real people. You are a coward for writing something like that and using a false name. Stay in the closet where you belong.

  9. The person who wrote the ‘pinata’ comment should repost it with their real name. That is the sad thing about people like ‘Slave Master. They only have strength either in numbers with other cowards or else they hide behind a fake name and hurl these pathetic comments out but don’t have the balls to back anything that they say up. They are truly worthless.
