I considered the KA's to be gentlemen (who consumed large quantities of beer, but, hey this was college) who were proud of their southern heritage...

Are you saying that lynchings are part of the Southern heritage?

No sir. The KA's (Kappa Alpha's) were not party to this action carried out by the Delta Sigma Phi and Beta Theta Pi fraternities.

It is true that lynchings were a part of the Southern Culture.

It is also true that extreme rates of murder and rape are a part of the Black culture. Both were wrong but one is worse than the other. The interesting thing is that only the other is widely excoriated.

My Grandmother's 1st Cousin (and closest friend) was raped and murdered by four Black men. She was a beautiful blond 12 year old. After they were caught, they said they really wanted the black headed one (my grandmother). The girl's family, and the entire community searched for her for nearly a day before she was found in a pond weighed down with logs. Her little dog found her. Her little body had been brutalized beyond recognition.

The Black turpentiners were separated, questioned, and all admitted guilt, giving details. They were all immediately shot to death.

One of those participating in the killing was a Black man who was a friend of the family.

The fascinating thing to me is that there is a web site listing all those lynched during this time. These four are on the list.

On the other hand, there is no monument or rememberance at all for the little 12 year old, except her tombstone.

I expect some time there will be a TV movie made over the incident in which the little girl will be portrayed as a hooker, her parents as toothless rednecks and the murderers as heroes who really tried to save the little girl from her molesting relatives.

The previous is one reason I despise the Southern hating scum who post on this forum.
