If you are a white man you are merely banned from the mall.
Scottsboro Boys accused of raping 2 white women, found guilty in spite of fact one of the women recanted her story.
A judge with one big smiling face said they were wasting money to bother with a trial.
326 lynchings in Alabama in the 19th century. Black men accused of rape or attempted rape of white women. Whites lynching when they felt it was necessary to protect white women.
Yet Judge Roy Moore has the gall to talk of a "witch hunt" and call his underage accusers liars whose mothers gave him permission to ask them out.

(28,979 posts)A Southern gentleman: a man of
chivalric manners and good breeding; a man of good social position; a man of wealth and
leisure. Aristocratic at heart, Victorian in his manners, the
Southern man was characterized by autonomy, self-discipline, and integrity, combining all the
elements of older chivalric codes with an acute sense of private and caste power. They had the single-minded
conviction that God had put them on earth to rule, protect the southern belle as well as the
values of the south.
