@CaraAl26949 @memeticsisyphus Thus, the existence of white victims of lynching doesn't demonstrate the thesis that many 21st-century American conservatives want to make.

[Warren Porter @Warp_Reality]

@CaraAl26949 @memeticsisyphus Sometimes, the transgressors were "white ethnics", sometimes the transgressors were white civil rights activists, but most of the time, the transgressors were Black.

@CaraAl26949 @memeticsisyphus *alleged* crimes

[Warren Porter @Warp_Reality]

@CaraAl26949 @memeticsisyphus I'm not disputing the systemic racism in the North. I'm just saying that Lynching in the South is inseperably intertwined with their racial caste system. White victims of lynchings are invariably from marginalized groups such as Mormons, Catholics, Jews or Civil Rights Activists.

[Warren Porter @Warp_Reality]

@CaraAl26949 @memeticsisyphus The purpose of focusing on the descendants of the planter elite is because lynchings in the South served to reinforce the hierarchy of racial castes that dominated that area from 1877 to 1968.

[Warren Porter @Warp_Reality]

@CaraAl26949 @memeticsisyphus Were they activists for African-American rights?

[Warren Porter @Warp_Reality]

@CaraAl26949 @memeticsisyphus Carpetbaggers were liberal northern Republicans who opposed the racial caste system of Jim Crow. They lost power after the end of Reconstruction.

[Warren Porter @Warp_Reality]

@CaraAl26949 @memeticsisyphus Again, none of these groups represent the interests of the South's Elite class.

[Warren Porter @Warp_Reality]

@CaraAl26949 @memeticsisyphus "immigrants, Italians, Jews, and Mormons"

None of these represent the antebellum planter elite nor do they represent their descendants.

@FangornWaterINC @Meow_Arf12 @memeticsisyphus I'm not the one making the affirmative claim

[Warren Porter @Warp_Reality]

@Meow_Arf12 @memeticsisyphus It's probably significant to note that this event occurred during the brief time when Black men voted in South Carolinian elections even though Reconstruction had formally ended a decade before.

[Warren Porter @Warp_Reality]

@Meow_Arf12 @memeticsisyphus Thank you for taking the time to do the research and uncover this. I learned something new today.

[Warren Porter @Warp_Reality]

@Meow_Arf12 @FangornWaterINC @memeticsisyphus That's why I keep asking for evidence.

[Warren Porter @Warp_Reality]

@Meow_Arf12 @FangornWaterINC @memeticsisyphus No, it isn't, but without evidence, assumptions have to be made.

[Warren Porter @Warp_Reality]

@olivebranchud @FangornWaterINC @memeticsisyphus Yes, I am aware that many Jews & Italian Catholics were lynched by the WASPs. These victims of lynchings were not Anglo-Americans.

[Warren Porter @Warp_Reality]

@memeticsisyphus "Couldn't be proven in court" failed to save many alleged but unproven Black criminals from their lynchings.

[Warren Porter @Warp_Reality]

@memeticsisyphus The descendants of those living during the antebellum don't necessarily live during the antebellum.

[Warren Porter @Warp_Reality]

@thomasbrookside @memeticsisyphus Care to share an example?
