You would think, I said you would THINK that in a nation where right-wing politicians readily pontificate their desire to stop abortion, put prayer in schools, place the Ten Commandments and Nativity Scene on Court House property would have addressed the public lynching issue long ago but Old South traditions die slowly. Consider please America's history of white-mens' hate towards people of color. I dare say, if blacks had been lynching whites the anti-lynching hate crime bill would have been enacted many years ago.
This week the United States Congress passed an anti-lynching bill making lynching a 'hate crime.' Damn it now, don't think everybody is on board stopping these redneck pastime pursuits because four Republicans voted against the anti-lynching bill. I suppose they believe hooded white guys riding around in the darkness of night, burning homes and lynching blacks is a 'fun' sport rather than a 'hate' crime.
I pray one morning, I will wake hearing the voice of Rod Serling saying, "You are waking from a shadow-land nightmare called, The Twilight Zone."
