The courthouse in racist video has a history

Henry Choate, 18, was accused of assaulting a white 16-year-old girl. He was jailed, but a mob of hundreds of white people kidnapped him from his cell. He was tied to the back of a car and dragged across town, and eventually hanged in front of the Maury County Courthouse.
 
Meanwhile, the courthouse and other sites like it have come to represent the series of lynchings that terrorized Black people throughout the Jim Crow era, and an enduring symbol of white supremacy, said Robert David Bland, an assistant professor of history and Africana studies at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

Beyond Choate, more than 230 Black people were lynched in Tennessee between 1877 and 1950, according to the Equal Justice Initiative.

Bland said the nation’s history of Black lynchings is often buried, with many people not even knowing that they occurred.

What exactly do racist want to achieve?



Think about it


Is your end game achievable?


Or are you being deluded by your leaders into destroying your own future?
 
Wash your true happiness down that filthy toilet


You joined a club that will limit your life into a heap of failure
 
Seriously dudes


What will you gain?

Nothing of value


The hate and scorn of your fellow earth dwellers
 
Hey Evince......These guys are telling you to shut the fuck up. Watch and WEEP...:laugh:

 
It’s sad how many dumb kids have already destroyed their lives by being an idiot on line


Being haunted forever by their past stupidity


Wearing loser crowns and trudging around loser trophies until they die
