Just as soon as you do everything in your power to find me one living person who was involved in those lynchings.
The black anger is illogical. Who are they mad at? The lynchers? They are all dead. The people who stood by and allowed the lynchings to happen? They are dead too.
The only one left to be mad at is "The White Man."
So, they are mad at "The White Man" who was not even alive at the time that the people they never knew were victimized? They are mad at "The White Man" who now, despite still having a great deal of power in this country's government, respects their right to equality under law?
Agreed, the pictures are disgusting and awful. The ironic part is that they will be described by some as inhuman, when in fact they represent everything that humanity represents - ignorant conflict and hatred. The fact of the matter is that the period of ignorance and hatred displayed in the pictures has now past, and people, beginning with the alleged "leaders" of the black community, who, if not stopped, will send civil rights back another 50 years, to stop this senseless conflict over something for which no one alive today is responsible.
