American Lynching Work in Progress part 2

This documentary explores racist events and attitudes indigenous to the Northern and Southern states that either condoned or condemned lynching as a practice. It clearly depicts those events that directly contributed to establishing lynching as an intimidating tool. An evolving national dialogue ultimately causing lynching to be discredited is portrayed. The essence of lynching as a phenomenon includes elements that were recorded in many forms -- journalism, essays, photographs, sound recordings, and especially the experiences of many people still alive who were involved in or were intimately affected by a lynching. Much of the content to be accessed for "American Lynching" is emerging from this rich and diverse archive of materials.

In my opinion, the human race is still in a stage of "maturing." This video is an indication of the level of spiritual, intellectual and emotional immaturity amongst the human race.

Willie Lynch said that his teachings will take hold for 300 years. 300 years from the date when he was supposed to have made that statement is up in 2012. We have to make sure that we are totally different people from those he was talking about 300 years ago in order for such acts to never occur in the future.

I would say, whatever it is that people may get involved (especially large groups), nothing they do is acceptable. The stupidity of people grows exponentially with their number. One human is intelleigent. 1000 are dumb as yeast. Thats the dilemma with democracy. The truth has nothing to do with the opinion of a majority.

Naturally, The Lord was on the side of right! He saved that man from a lynching! And one day he will punish the caucasoid satanists for their evil doings! PTL!
