Melania Trump on social media etiquette: 'Sometimes you have to fight back'


LYNCHburg

Trump's "Be Best" initiative focuses on opioid abuse, social media practices and general well-being. A priority of the campaign focuses on preventing cyberbullying.


She has faced criticism, in part, because of her husband's frequent use of Twitter to disparage and insult his critics.

Holy F*** . Frequent my ass. Unrelenting. Never Apologized. Vicious. Just like you. Mel. A fugging birther. You, an immigrant of questionable status, questioned MY President. The first African American to be elected.

A little history for ya Mel.


The Lynching of Thomas Smith

Lynching in Virginia
Contributed by Brendan Wolfe and Laura K. Baker

Lynching involves the extralegal punishment of perceived wrongdoing by a mob. Lynching became pervasive in the American South late in the nineteenth century and, at its height, from 1880 to 1930, killed at least eighty-six men in Virginia, all but fifteen of them African Americans. Many historians believe the term can be traced to Charles Lynch, a Bedford County militia colonel during the American Revolution (1775–1783) who punished captured Loyalists outside the law. Although a regular feature of the Revolution, mob violence spiked during the 1830s in response to immigration and tensions over slavery. In the South, meanwhile, slavery had long encouraged violence against African Americans, implicating even non-slaveholding whites who were often called upon to search for escaped slaves. After the American Civil War (1861–1865), these two traditions—mob violence and violence against African Americans—joined to create an epidemic of lynchings that killed probably as many as 4,000 people from 1880 until the mid-twentieth century; the large majority of those victims were African Americans living in the South. White Virginians, who lynched the fewest number of people of any southern state, justified the practice by demonizing African Americans and arguing that the courts provided insufficient protection against their supposed criminal tendencies. Blacks and whites understood lynching as a means of enforcing white supremacy. Vocal black critics, such as the editor John Mitchell Jr., encouraged armed defense but were ignored by white lawmakers. In the 1920s, after a rash of mob violence, Virginia passed the South's first antilynching law, although no white person was ever convicted under the legislation. MORE...

All of a sudden, she seems to be accompanying him more often and I've even seen pics of them holding hands (after slappng his hand away months ago). Just me or did anyone else notice her by his side a lot more?

Noticed the hand holding, smiles that were never there before. Perhaps she fears deportation when the truth comes out. She is an illegal immigrant and he is an illegal pResident.

Isn't she now legal for having married him? I have been trying to figure out why she seems to have changed her attitude about him.

Yet came here/worked here illegally. The chained migration dump wails about.... Her mommy and daddy got here a few months ago for just that. Why they are so close now....fear perhaps. It is all going to be tumbling down very soon.

Some felt sorry for her. Fact is, she is as vicious as he is.

No heart and no soul. I sincerely hope that Barron survives. If history repeats, he will not. Breaks my heart, he is just a child.

I'm sure that whatever this new found closeness is, it is self-serving - on BOTH their parts.
