"I will not be used in an electronic lynching by proxy... you guys can do all the things you want to me, but I will not participate in you trying to destroy him"

3. Just checking...
...so white people cannot mention lynching anymore??

I assume that is because no one was ever lynched before the US started enslaving people? No horse thieves ever strung up?

She may be an idiot with some serious mental issues - but why does everything need to be about race? Yes...I know the history about this, but stop trying to find the boogyman where he is not.


Unrec for trying to stir up shit that does not need stirring.

5. Nope. It's not a lynching unless there's a rope involved.
Former Reagan official said so.

On Monday, former Reagan administration official Jeffrey Lord astonished the left and the right by penning an article in the conservative American Spectator attacking former-USDA official Shirley Sherrod for using the term "lynching" to describe the murder of one of her relative years ago. The problem, according to Lord, was that the victim, Bobby Hall was beaten to death by a blackjack, rather than being hanged by the neck. "It's...possible that she knew the truth and chose to embellish it, changing a brutal and fatal beating to a lynching."
