    So there's a black guy that been found hanging in a tree is Mississippi and the news outlets are lighting themselves on fire trying to re-create the 1950's and 60s.

    This story stinks like the one of the dead census worker and the girl with that faked a mugging who worked for McCain. But i'm sure by nightfall the media will have created a Klan Is Back chyron with a burning cross blazing in the corner and we'll have another Hands Up Dont Shoot lie perpetuated by Al Sharpton.

    So, is your contention that CNN made it up? What's your angle here, beyond trying to self-identify as an idiot?

    That no matter what happened the idiot news media will ratchet up as a bunch of good 'ol boys firing up an old fashioned lynching.

    Even if he was murdered, the fact that he had been missing for over 2 weeks does not fit the pattern of a lynching.

    And yet the article goes out of its way to say that suicide and other non racial possibilities are under investigation. You made it the focus by mentioning lynching, not CNN.

    FUCK this pisses me off! Notice the red circle to see why. Damn will people never learn? :bang:

    That aside, am I alone in thinking that the thread title sounds like a Randy Newman song (as sung by Will Sasso who imitated him on Mad TV?)
    Don't get me wrong, I'm a big Randy Newman fan. I'm sorry but:

    "Black man hangin' on a big old tree - god only knows, what did he see?
    butterfly laughin' as he watches the scene - why some people got to be so mean?"

    I think it's reflective of the epidemic of lynchings. But the Republicans are blocking the nominee for the Department of Justice, the only woman who could put a stop to America's lynching culture.

    I can't count the number of lynchings here in Georgia lately - because you can't count zero.

    Even if the man was murdered, and even if the murder was racially motivated, I don't think it would be appropriate to call it a lynching. A lynching is a very specific type of murder, often but not always motivated by race, and often but not always involving death by hanging. Its distinctive feature is extrajudicial execution by mob action.

    Yep. I can't be a lynching or they'd have known about it two weeks ago when a dozen people posted the pics on social media.

    Wow, look at the racists showing up to say nothing to see here. God damnit jimbo you are supposed to cut the nigger down and throw him in the river afterwards. The last time you did something like this ted got his dick cut off in the bathtub of the lady we raped. I never will get why southerners always let the retard clean up after their crimes.

    It is Mississippi, and Mississippi has only one purpose and that is to make Alabama look good in comparison. So it has a very low bar to sink under my delta quadrant conspiring friend. As we all; know kardasashians (notice the slip up) are known racists and liars who conspire to obscure the truth for dubious means while ponies represent honesty and goodness and are known for being accepting and caring. Of course kardasians were intelligent and cunning and you are neither of those, so perhaps you should cosplay something a little more on your level and hang around with a more intelligent pink starfish.

    Please do continue what you were saying my moderately geeky friend, and do not make me stomp you with your own tactics. I finally see something that might be tasty and enjoyable, and you are most certainly going to disapoint when I get through your exterior and you do not want to let me down like that, I assure you.

    If indeed this man hung himself why would it be racist to say "nothing to see here"? Are we supposed to feel more sorry for a black man
    hanging himself than a white person? If he did indeed kill himself he could have shot himself or ran the exhaust into his car. If by hanging
    himself he makes people feel bad because of the iconic image it represents, blame him.

    This is mississippi we are talking about here. They take pride in their racism there. It is possible that the black man just decided to commit suicide in a very hard and akward way, but when you are talking about mississippi at the very least the poor guy ran into a couple of white guys who were happy to assist in the suicide. There is a reason for MS's reputation as being more racisty than alabama and proud of it, and that is the people of MS. And yes I have been there as a white person and have seen the racism that still exists. You might get out of it in their small cities, but you get out in that country area and you have openly racist people. It is like saying there are some niggers in the south bronx. There may be some good black people floating around there, but there are a lot of niggers there. There are some racist honkeys in MS. There may be a few good white people floating about but there is damned sure a whole lot of racist honkeys in that state. It is one of the few places where being a drag queen is more agreeable than being black.

    You call that thinking? Someone set your synapses too far apart my kardashian friend. I mean really, had you done a little research I am a pony fag and damned proud of it. You toss those words at me like they will shame me, but your effort is crass and unimaginative. I could go find any dumbfuck and get ponyfag out of them. It is not that creative, or witty.

    And do go to mississippi, you will find the stereotype is pretty much spot on. They call it style, and they are proud of it. I recommend you go into one of their honkey tonks and tell them that they should be a bunch of liberal minded people and tone it down with their god guns and glory. See where that gets you. Then come on back to us with your bruised face and we will see if the stereotype holds up.

    Well, what sort of lesbian shoes are we talking about here? Would they be work boots or some stylish slipons?

    There are pictures of his lesbian shoes around here some where. I believe they were stomping on a burning copy of Garamet's Star Trek book. The dumb ass couldn't find his first copy so he bought a second at full price just so he could burn it and then stomp on it with his lebian shoes.

    The picture is in the greatest failed troll thread or whatever it's called. @Anna bumped it a day or two back, so it should be no further away than the second page.

    They need
    So you're saying there are white people and there are racist honkeys and there are black people and there are niggers. Do you think this makes you racist or just a truth teller?

    If a liberal uses these terms then it's truth telling, because they mean well and have the world's best interests at heart.
