Lynchings are a freedom
In response to "Protest Uncalled For" May 26 or 25. I would like to comment about, No. 1: "We have lynched our future." I fail to see how lynchings are ruining our future. In the United States of America (according to the census) on April 1, 2000 there were 28,142,190 colored people in the United States, and don't forget that that is only colored people with addresses.
So do we really need more colored people? with America's present colored population in mind, think about this: we have fished our oceans to the point that there is now only 10 percent of what there was. We have destroyed 90 percent of the original fish life in the sea.
No. 2: "We have lynched 4 million of our potential work force." Think about how many colored babies contraceptives have prevented, and even abstinence. For that matter, just think about how many colored people we could have.
I think that if you do not believe in lynchings then do not have one.
If somebody wants a lynching, if they are tired of having colored neighbors, and feel that it is not yet right for them to get used to having colored neighbors, then fine that's their choice. That is my opinion. I believe that lynchings are a freedom; I believe that if lynchings where illegal then they would go underground and become much more dangerous. We should be allowed that option - that freedom - in this, the land of the free, America.
May the deity of your choice (if any at all) bless you.
