The lynching has begun... Again

http://www.wptz.com/politics/missing-black-man-found-hanging-from-in-miss/31899426


The most patient human community might now run out of patience, I know I have.



WASHINGTON (CNN) —The body of an African-American man, who had been missing since early this month, was found today by local police in Mississippi, according to a law enforcement official.



If they rule this a suicide they better have absolute proof that it was, and I want the proof from the DOJ not some local authority

Some of us have of course been saying all along that ALL opposition to Obama from the right is racism, period.

That sure once in a very rare while a republican or teapartier can find something Obama said or did that they were against before he was for it, but that is rare.

They oppose him ONLY because of his color and name, period.

Then 6 yrs of in your face racism and hate, shooting AfAm for no reason, etc, and now this.

What's next?

Do the most patient group of people in history finally react in a way other than law abiding and peaceful?

We know what white people would do if roles reversed, that we know for sure.

Non violence works up to a point,if your persecutors have no morals or shame than using only non violence makes you a punching bag. Even ghandi admitted this fact. I don't want the brown people to lay down and die nor do I want to see cowardly non racist whites standing by wringing thier hands afraid to stand up for their brown allies ,freinds and lovers. This racist bigot bullshit has got to stop how? It's up to us who are not racist and who have courage and the brown people of this country. Sure there was Martin Luther king but at the same time there were Black Panthers and Malcom X enforcing voting rights with guns.

That's why my great grandfather, grandfather, and dad had guns. 'Bama wasn't a pleasant place - and even though my dad spent the last 30 years of his life in Western NY - he never forgot. My husband is armed - but a shotgun to a former Italian Marine Sharp Shooter is all he needs.

And it was him hollering about this - this morning that woke me up.

Morning Joe covered it at the top of the show I guess . . .

Suicide, my ass! And the teen found dead rolled up in a blanket at a gym. Strange how he 'accidently' killed himself and rolled himself into a blanket.

No, it's a Big Fucking Lie, is what it is.


The Birchers have been singing the tune of 'race war' all my life. They just went by other names for a while, but they're back and not hiding anymore:

Fred Koch said:

“The colored man looms large in the Communist plan to take over America,” he said (p. 25) and “it will use the colored people by getting a vicious race war started.”

Koch's views on civil rights were identical to those of the John Birch Society. Early in the civil rights movement, the Birch founder labeled Dr. Martin Luther King a Communist and marshaled the Birch leadership to fight every piece of civil rights legislation.


http://sync.democraticunderground.com/1017252721#post15

They attack voting rights and the Democrats at every opportunity, as they say we are the party of blacks.

Infowars is one of the main propaganda venues of the Tea Party, Libertarians and Birchers. You will not find anything they say that does reflect the Koch platform described by Bernie Sanders and Harry Reid.

And like the Nazi Party, they plan for a 'race war' to happen to have right wing revolution to end the federal government so they can finish selling off the USA. There are roots that go back to the Confederacy and before that. Current voices bear other labels.

Some go directly back to the original ones. A KKK leader was interviewed on CNN recently by Don Lemon. This would never have happened when I was growing up.

Those groups were treated as fringe nutjobs. Now they're mainstream with a generation taught this by Rush, et al.

Were these the acts of old style racists or the new ones? Does it make any difference?

We need four more years of someone in the White House to clean this filth out of the public sphere, and the private one, too.

Why Isn’t A Possible Lynching in NC National News?

Lennon Lacy was a 17 year old African American high school student whose body was found hanging from a children’s swing set in a largely white mobile home park in rural North Carolina less than two months ago. The local police declared his death a suicide within nine hours of finding his body – despite the fact that the shoes on his feet were not his own and were two sizes too small, despite his parents saying that conclusion couldn’t be right and despite the fact that locals in the small, rural town he lived in have alluded that his death might have been a hate crime. Lennon Lacy, a 17 year old African American high school student, was found hanging by the neck in a largely white trailer park and local police closed the case on the possibility that he was lynched before performing any investigation. Why don't more people know about this?

Lennon’s family wants a federal investigation. The NAACP has asked for a federal investigation saying “we believed there was a good possibility of a race-based homicide and possible law-enforcement involvement in the decision to provide the State Medical Examiner with their conclusion that this was a suicide before any real investigation of a possible homicide had been undertaken.“

I wrote a diary about this yesterday. The title was provocative and specifically mentioned lynching. More people cared about a fire chief using the N-word. I find that shameful. I will keep writing about Lennon Lacy and the need for a federal investigation every.single.day until this community knows his name and why a federal investigation is important.

My diary from yesterday appears below. Whether or not you read it, please join me in pushing for a federal investigation into the possible murder by lynching of this child...

WTF??? Georgia teen was stuffed with newspaper after death, family lawyer says

The mysterious death of a Georgia teen has taken a bizarre twist with the revelation that an autopsy of his exhumed remains found his internal organs missing and his body stuffed with newspaper.

The family of Kendrick Johnson, 17, of Valdosta, Ga., was "outraged" and "devastated" by the discovery and believes his death was a murder that is being covered up, a lawyer representing them said Thursday.

Johnson, a three-sport athlete, was found dead on Jan. 11 in a rolled-up wrestling mat in his high school gym. State medical examiners concluded that he accidentally suffocated while trying to retrieve a sneaker.

But his parents, Kenneth and Jacquelyn Johnson, were doubtful about that conclusion. In June, they won a court order to have Kendrick's body exhumed for a second autopsy.

I'm sure there are many more, some of which I've heard of personally, but those are anecdotal despite the sources who were involved in the area I lived in. These things are not unknown far out in the country. We mostly hear of things in the city, but it's not just there.

I think we are in for a long and hard ride.

All issues in America come back to race, almost all.

Teaparty exists solely to be the racist party, so all politics are now race based as well.

Is how in the thread about this in General Discussion there are more than a few folks annoyed by the assumption this was more likely a lynching than a suicide. Why is it so farfetched and outrageous to think a black man in the Deep South could've been hanged for the color of his skin? Hmm..
