Because desperation. Kanye. Candace. The left may not allow it, but the individuals are still free to think and choose it. Much more of that is going on right under the surface, I have seen it myself.

Yes, it’s a dark stain on “America” – but especially a dark stain on the Democratic Party. Republicans have always been against lynchings, both real and metaphoric.

I wish Trump or other Reps would start calling the Dems the KKK party. Because Reps want to treat people as individuals, and Dems want to treat people as members of groups, with a tribal identity that confers different status based on the tribe.

Including the wider-elite tribe of college educated folk, who excuse lynchings done by Democrats, but get apoplectic about Reps calling what they’re doing a metaphoric “lynching”.

More Civility Bullshit (guess I should look at what Ann is saying lately, too).

The pattern you note goes back 60 years, at least. If you limit crimes against whites to blacks males under 24 you will find that subset is a small percentage of (less than 2%) of our total population. Subtract homicides committed by young blacks in the USA and you will find the homicide rate per capita here is lower than Canada and anywhere in Europe. A truth that upsets conventional wisdom. No one wants to utter that simple truth, but the left wants me to be defenseless.

1. Democrats are allowed to lynch, defenestrate, hog-tie (and a whole lot more) Republicans.

2. When Republicans try to defend themselves against Democrats who are engaging in lynching, defenestrating, hog-tying (and a whole lot more) Republicans, then it is the Republicans who are guilty.

Yes, quite simple and easy to remember (or should be if one makes any modicum of effort).

Palestinian rules!

According to the Tuskegee Institute, 4,743 people were lynched between 1882 and 1968 in the United States, including 3,446 African Americans and 1,297 whites. More than 73 percent of lynchings in the post-Civil War period occurred in the Southern states.[9] According to the Equal Justice Initiative, 4,084 African-Americans were lynched between 1877 and 1950 in the South.[10]

It’s dark and shameful but lynchings have been over for 50+ years. Meanwhile blacks are murdering whites by margins well over 3,446 every year.

We can’t change the violence of the past, but we might change violence in the present. But we can’t even discuss the problem of black-on-white violence, as well as black-on-anyone violence including other blacks, the numbers of which are way off the charts.

I obtained the statistics below from the DOJ for 2005. The DOJ has changed their formats and made it more difficult to extract these numbers. However, I don’t imagine the overall ratios have changed much.

White-on-Black-completed-violence-cases: 9,025
Black-on-White–completed-violence-cases: 131,006

White-on-Black-sexual-assault-cases: 10
Black-on-White–sexual-assault-cases: 37,460

Even though whites outnumbered blacks by a factor of 5.67 in 2005, blacks committed violence against whites by vastly larger numbers.

If a Martian looked at these numbers and accepted their accuracy, he would have to conclude American blacks are currently conducting violent race war against American whites.

I have a hard time understanding these numbers otherwise myself.

Maybe being gunned down or raped in a small venue situation lacks the iconic drama of a “lynching.” But the victim is just as dead or injured or scarred for life.

It seems to me this should matter.

And I don’t know about Chinese workers in the West. It wouldn’t surprise me. It was a Democratic president who put Japanese, including American citizens of Japanese ancestry, in internment camps.
