This is how White Racists used to lynch African-Americans in America. Then, they would take pictures of the lynching, capturing themselves in the pictures, as if these were sporting events as opposed to the atrocities that they were. (sic)
Ida B. Wells exposed this inhumane treatment of African-Americans to the world via her investigative reporting related to the brutality of lynchings. As a result of her challenging the White Power structure, she became a target.

#Repost @talbertswan • • • • "This is the fourth Black male found hung in the past week. This time it was a teenager hung outside of a school. Before an autopsy, the police again ruled it a suicide. If Black men and boys have suddenly decided to start hanging themselves from trees, I have a bridge to sell you. This is America. These are lynchings." ~~ These are definitely not suicides. The whole idea of Black men committing suicide in such a public manner is ludicrous. Especially this many, this close together. #BlackLivesMatter #stopkillingourblackmenandboys #lynchingsinamerica #themorethingschangethemoretheystaythesame https://www.instagram.com/p/CBhzzuEjFCKcGHgKCZkRSM1VZzFztPsf5Ey8eM0/?igshid=whoklqc284md
