Lynching
For 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
