The first thing about murder is that people usually kill With this subset? Common factors to Black But the fact remains thatĭaily hundreds of black men across this country are murdered everyday by Genetically or intrinsically wrong with black men. Why do black men kill each other? First Let’s Dispel aįirst thing you have to know is that 99.999% of black men do New Orleans has one of the highest murder rates nationally. This has been going on for the last 30-40 years and no end is in sight. Police have no suspects in any of the cases.” And immediately and innately you know that the people killed were black and the killers were black. Nearly every city’s daily news casts reports, “Today in our city three (or thirty depending on the size of your city) men were shot and killed in three (or thirty) separate shootings. Let’s send him packing for more than a few years.īlack men kill each other at alarming rates all across America every day. Jim Crow is trying to make it a comeback. The capitol police should be branded and called out for the slave patrollers they are. Under the revision, the capitol police would be able to step in and take control of any case it deems fit.
Now, under the revision, state reps are modestly asking that a capitol police takeover be implemented instead. That initial proposal went over like the revival of lynching.
Supposedly, this has gone over so well that state representatives have tried to pass a bill that would expand the district almost citywide. The state has complete authority over both. The district has its own police force and court system. The main vehicle has been the creation of a Capitol District that covers the state capitol area and the affluent white neighborhoods. Jim Crow Says Don’t Call It A ComebackĮver since Jackson’s city government stopped being able to do fundamental things like control crime and provide non-contaminated tap water, the state government has been expanding its authority over the city. That would be Jackson, Mississippi, where 83% of the population is black. Meanwhile back in the sticks, aka the great state of Mississippi, the state government, which is majority white, has been plotting a takeover of the blackest city in America. Hopefully, come next election, the people of his district tie his re-election chances to a tree and watch it gasp for breath. Jelani Cobb said, “Sometimes we repeat history because people have learned from it.” Rep. But an MSNBC contributor has a different take. People sometimes say, if we don’t know our history, we’re doomed to repeat it. In 2023 how would that work? Which white guy drags the black guy out to a field and hangs him from a tree? Somehow, those optics don’t seem like they would go over well. A black man commits a crime the state considers worthy of execution. He said he was just merely suggesting a heinous punishment for a heinous crime. When the back hit the lash, Sherrell tried to moonwalk away from his suggestion. He must be rolling over in a poplar tree. In the last 50 years, the state has only legally executed 13 people. How many do you think were black? Also consider the undocumented ones where somebody got a rope and a truck and went all vigilante. And government in Tennessee was highly proficient at lynching.įrom 1877-1950, 236 people were legally lynched in Tennessee. Back in the Jim Crow days, lynching was a legal form of execution in Tennessee. He suggested a punishment he empathized with - lynching black people. Instead, he suggested something nearer and dearer to the state’s cultural heart. Notice Sherrell didn’t suggest a gas chamber, or a beheading, or something else more culturally offending. You wanna whistle at a white woman? Honey, pack up the kids, we’re going to a lynching. Lynching was once a great American tradition aimed at keeping black people in check. Sherrell suggested reviving an age-old one to top them all - stringing a person up to a tree like back in the good ole days when America was great. Well, it didn’t move Tennessee state Rep. What is the best way to execute somebody? If you had to guess, what would you choose? Lining them up and having a firing squad shoot them in the face? What about strapping them to a chair and sending a 1000 or so volts through their body? Or how about injecting them with a concoction so toxic that they can’t even scream as pain ripples through their body? No? None of that moves you.
