Unfortunately, the south's attitude towards minorities hasn't changed that much. They may not be bold enough to actually string them up, but they're minds are still as closed and they're "CHRISTIAN" hearts are still as hateful.
You have alot of typo's in this, but it makes me feel a little ashamed of being white. But then again I did nothing like this and wont. So I cannot be blamed but Im called racist because I don't brown nose black people. That is my problem, these people in these pictures didn't deserve it unless they murdered someone. But then at least shoot them instead of making them suffer. Okay, :(
On a side note, I read in a book that the next morning after these lynchings took place, the guilty parties went to church and glorified God in church. The bible has been used to justify these lynchings as well as slavery.
Let the truth be told! As a race today, we now kill each other. So sad but so true! I can not blame the white race for what was done to us but there is a God and we will all be judged for our actions. The thing that some of us fail to realize is the energy we send out is like a reflection in the mirror, it comes back. It comes back in different forms and fashions; such as ourselves, our children, and our grandchildren, and generations after generations. Yes, we curse the ones we love the most!
Black people have endured so much misery and discrimination during history, they had it all, more than any other people. This song really captures it good. such a shame, i feel really bad when i see what white people did to black people, it makes me wanna be black just so i could comfort them and see what they had to go trough...
All I wanna say is, I am white, and I could never do anything like that to another man or woman or child!!! Especially over something so stupid, selfish, and ignorant......thats all!
I listen to this song many many times, and i always hace the same feeling like the first time. I love the melody that nina simon creat in every song. Always aways make people feel strange and impressed
Religions were set up to encourage people to lead a good and pure life. Don't blame religion for the problems of the world, blame the people who decide to disrespect other's religions.
How dare you call this great lady a bitch. What have you done. Her career suffered because she was brave enough to challenge the "status quo". We don't need the "masters" to hurt us anymore because we got people like you to do it for them. We have been called bitches enough to last a live time. You owe Ms Simoine for fighting for your freedom. What have you done besides being a name caller?
This video is so sad. watching and listening to the words just made me feel sick to my stomach. people were so evil. good job on putting the video together. it's a deep message
This isn't the original of Nina's version. The original is only nina simone singing with a piano in the background. This version has other instruments, where did you get this version??
I don't understand or even want to know how can people be so evil. And they gather and laugh and take pictures as if it's some kind of comedy or a family gathering. I just don't understand.....
Wow.... I never really listening to the words until now... I just love Nina Simone and this song just really touches me in so many ways. Now it has a whole new meaning to me. Thank you for such a well put together video...
@XforeverlongingX That's a lie. It comes from the human heart. Most religions promote peace, not murder. If you or I chose to murder we can't blame a religion. It is a choice. If you study history you will find GREED and economics were the true reason for slavery, jim crow, and institutionalized racism-- NOT religion. Don't make excuses for wrong doing. Look in the mirror.
@comando0220 "Most religions promote peace, not murder." The false assertion in your opening statement tells me exactly where you are coming from. Nothing can be further from the truth than what you have just uttered.
It's very shocking what people did to the victims.
