⚠️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 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.
@fsl3 @KeneAkers National shame by you wicked lying jws that were resp
@fsl3 @KeneAkers Best if it gets donated to National Museum of African American History & Culture in DC. Well organized & largely visited museum.
@fsl3 @KeneAkers I guess it's only permissible if the topic is the #Holocaust 😏
@fsl3 @KeneAkers I would love some of these, would frame them in my house for the whole family to admire. The good ole days!
@fsl3 @KeneAkers That’s disgusting. But I feel no shame for I had nothing to do with this at all. It’s amazing someone would treasure something like this? I have ancestors that were in Texas back then and it wasn’t something any of them would condone.
