⚠️Trigger warning ⚠️ Lynching postcards — were commonly adorned by white supremacists in America with racist messages or poems. These postcards were produced and circulated for over fifty years in the United States, despite being prohibited from being sent through the United States Postal Service after 1908.
@KeneAkers There is a book about them, "Without Sanctuary"
@KeneAkers I've been a postcard collector most of my life but this is one topic that is just unbearable to see. They need to be preserved so that we don't forget but they should not be "collected." Agonizing evidence of a national shame.
@KeneAkers Sadly, I think there are people in this country who want to go back to this sentiment. I know racism has always been present but Trump really stoked the hate and made it ok to be blatant.
YOU really HATE white people don't you Kenny? In early years, victims of lynching were more commonly mexican or white. It was only after Reconstruction that the lynching of black people became prevalent. Still, in the 1800s, after reconstruction, OVER 1,300 of the LYNCHING VICTIMS WERE WHITE, REPUBLICANS. Democrats founded the KKK and most responsible for lynching.
@KeneAkers lol there wasnt a word for white supremacy back then genius.
@KeneAkers It should be noted, lynchings were done by White Democrat Christians. As a Black Republican Christian, how could you worship with a demographic that gave cover for serial killers? So when the Marxists showed up extending the hand of brotherhood, of course Black Christians took it
@KeneAkers You need to bring stuff up like that to obscure things like this:
@KeneAkers Do you think they were lynched for no reason? Many of the time they committed murder and other heinous acts.
@KeneAkers While i think most would agree, including me, that this was repugnant, i would question your intent here, given your past tweets. I feel you are not here to educate but rather here to fan the flames of tension and divisiveness. In short you are a race baiter
