Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves
Blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
Pastoral scene of the gallow south
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
The scent of magnolia sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck
for the rain to gather
for the wind to suck
for the sun to rot
for the tree to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop


Don't kid yourselves that black on white crimes are the only crimes that don't get mentioned.

There's a whole world of crimes out there that *nobody* likes to talk about. And I mean nobody.

Yes and like all these kids who got molested by clergy,etc. we only hear about it years later. Disgusting.

Like what ???

B.S. Not in 2003. Violent crime in the United States is overwhelmingly disproportionately committed by non-whites.

You bring up events from 50+ years ago to compare to events of today. Disingenuous at best. And the numbers been made up several times over in the last 40 years by black-on-white murders.

We've fixed a problem of yesteryear. Let's admit and fix the problem of today, rather than ignore it and somehow attempt to sweep it under the rug with references to an old wrong.
