In a topic about institutionalized racism and acts of terrorism that dominated the country years ago, mentioning crime, something that exists in every country and is perpetrated by every ethnic group in existence, is somehow on topic to you.
is institutionalized racism and terrorism not a crime? If anything, I'd say that the black on black crime rate issue garners an even more relevant discussion given that it's happening
right now and constantly rather than an odd 70 years ago,
that said I still think recognizing the lynchings from 1877 to 1950 is important.The only similarity is that it deals with black people. That's the strongest connection you could throw into this topic. Good job
Not at all, the strongest connection here is the dynamic of what was happening then versus now, back then you had mobs of white people going out and abusing/killing innocent black's while chanting tribal slurs and god knows what,
now we have mobs of black people going out and abusing/killing innocent white's while chanting tribal slurs and god knows what.
Just like now, the tribal white's between the years of said lynchings never whatsoever represented the white culture as a whole since there were many who disagreed with racism and discrimination in the forms that it was manifested in back then, and the same is happening now, except just with parts of the black community such as BLM, of course it doesn't represent the entire culture as still many upon many more disagree with the forms it's manifesting in now.
if you're saying recognizing crime that is even more relevant in time and significance is somehow "off-topic" then your entire OP is off-topic (not to mention take a gander at the section you posted it in too).
