This web site is a pictorial history of lynching in America - not all of them are negroes.

Actually, it was hippies.
We hung hippies but, we did not use a gas hose.
They were white.
Selling drugs to our kids.
(Quote by a very old and gone friend of mine.)

“Saw this on the way home from work and it made me furious, afraid, and sick to my stomach,” “

Yeah.....sure it did.

Nevermind the dozens of pe OP please likely to be killed this weekend in Chi-molia, but this.

So sick was she, that she had time to pull out her smartphone, snap a photo, open up her bobblehead social attention whore app of choice, compose a BS screed of agony, make sure the hashtags were “on point”, and then post it.....likely while driving.

What does that imagery even mean? Truck owner into drugs?

I saw variations of this way back in the early 90s in protest ad of the first Gulf War. I could have sworn one was actually in Time Magazine.

Funny how people dudnt flip out.

So Catholics never persecuted Protestants? I guess the Inquisitors and gentlemen like the Duke of Alba were just the Welcome Wagon?

It’s a tree hugger metaphor suggesting we are hanging ourselves via our dependence on fossil fuels. It isn’t something that lends itself to racial outrage.

Since when did Negroes get to claim all images of the noose?

About twenty years after the nazis claimed the tilted swastika and ruined it for what was, up to that time, an almost universal, and millennials old, symbol.

Um ... as I recall, Catholics killed their share of Protestants as well.

Nuh, uh...unless you count burning witches, boiling evil people in oil, be-headings, racking'em, and other more humane methods of slaughter, we did not do those dastardly deeds.

Christianity is covered in blood, no one was immune. Christ died on the cross, but that didn't stop us from out right slaughter of those whose beliefs were different from whomever was ruling the local patch of ground.

All in the Holy Name of God.

Today's fanatics have named their God, allah, and history continues to repeat.

Human nature and free will was infused into us by God, but we continue to abuse the greatest of gifts...choice.

This triggered a-hole doesn’t see the irony that she belongs to a political party/ideology that put that noose around black’s necks (along with quite a few whites BTW)?

Your suspicions are well founded.

You are credible only when you quote those whose history includes The Black Legend.

Exactly. It always ... confuses? enrages? disgusts? ... me when I see people killing others because they’re “doing God’s work.” I suspect that if He wanted them dead, He’s perfectly capable of doing that Himself. So whatever lie you’re telling yourself, you ain’t doing it for Him.

Witches should be deeply offended every time there is an open fire anywhere. Flames should be banned and anyone igniting a fire should be burned at the st...I mean, go to jail forever.

“I’m wondering if the plural form of the word “noose” is “neese”.”

I’m thinking it may be neese’s...or is that the sausage?
