Every day I see something that makes me more scared about what is happening in the US.
Black activist threatened with lynching in rural Indiana
We've been speaking to one African-American man about the very ordinary, everyday racist attack he faced.www.channel4.com
I always thought that the majority of black people live in the south?Saw that last night. Hard to believe shit like that happens. My black American friend says the south is a place that you should just avoid!
Perhaps the best thing would have been for the country to have been partitioned after the Civil War, a la North/South Korea?
With a large British force in the south to defend the confederacy from union aggression perhapsPerhaps the best thing would have been for the country to have been partitioned after the Civil War, a la North/South Korea?
Possibly, but from the 1920s onwards the was a very large migration North and west
I really don't think perpetuating slavery would have been a good idea!Perhaps the best thing would have been for the country to have been partitioned after the Civil War, a la North/South Korea?
From the photo is he another one who used to be a hippie ? Eta oh, the one on the left is one of the victims. Doh.
Mind, that lynching was threatened in the midwest - in Inidana. Equally, one of the worst race atrocities in American history happened in tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1921 (IIRC). It's a myth that American racism is an exclusively Southern thingSaw that last night. Hard to believe shit like that happens.

No them damn Yankees do it too
They most definitely do. Some of the most shocking outright hatred of black people I've ever accidentally overheard came when I was in a diner in Boston.
Or the cops could stop being rascists and have a lot easier time.
Why? When they stopped buying British guns the British stopped pretending to care about them.
it wasn't the british guns but the confederate cotton which attracted british interest. but it was a jest based on the bit about north/south korea in existentialist's post, imagining britain taking the place of the united states. these things are never so amusing when you have to explain them.
there have been several lynchings resulting in death - non white men hung to death by noose in trees - since BLM kicked off again this year.Every day I see something that makes me more scared about what is happening in the US.
