Отличная насмешка в такимаге над недавно открытым мемориалом убитым неграм:

Lynching in the United States was not something that only affected blacks. According to statistics provided by the Tuskegee Institute, of the 4,743 recorded lynchings between 1882 and 1968, blacks were victimized in 3,446 instances, whites in 1,297. As is clear, blacks were the majority of victims, but 1,297 is not a small number. If we go state by state, we see that in certain states—Arizona, Idaho, Vermont, Wisconsin, Maine, Nevada, and South Dakota—every lynching victim was white. In other states, whites were the overwhelming majority of victims (California—41 white/2 black, Colorado—65/3, Montana—82/2, Nebraska—52/5, Wyoming—30/5). In the Southern states, of course, the ratio is massively black over white (Georgia—39 white/492 black, Mississippi—42/539, etc.). The lynching of whites, which outpaced the lynching of blacks in 1884 and 1885, slowed down considerably after 1900, whereas black lynching numbers stayed in double digits until the 1930s. A National Review puff piece celebrating the lynching memorial (ah, National Review, with its new slogan “You’ll Never Get Banned on Social Media for Posting Us!”) claims that public opinion only turned against lynching when the mobs went after “white honestiores.” That’s nonsense. If there was a turning point, it was the 1906 lynching of a black man, Ed Johnson, and the unprecedented SCOTUS trial of racist white lawman Joseph Shipp (I wrote about this back in 2012).

If we break lynchings down by cause, we see that, of all lynchings from 1882 to 1968, “insult to a white person” was the reason in only 1.79% of the cases; that’s the smallest category. Real or suspected rape was the reason in 19.22% of the cases, and real or suspected homicide was the reason in 40.84% (the largest category).


И вот всё у них так. Вообще, ключевые поинты агенды американских демократов подобны этому мемориалу в том, что являются чучелами, не имеющими почти никакого отношения к реальности.
