Ms Rachel has to ask the world to investigate hanging black people

Yeah. No real investigations, all called suicides. Such little attention and coverage that we need a children's entertainer to bring it up.

The problem is that we don't have any information

Conspiracy people are going to say it's a cover up but also it very well could be suicide or non-racially motivated murders

In that article the family straight up agrees one case was suicide, and in another case the family admitted that the victims was constantly being bullied, so good chance for suicide there too

The latest case in that article was so new we didn't even know the victims name

That's 3 out of 7 all year.

One case the woman left town for a family reunion and while no arrest was made her on-again-off-again black boyfriend was questioned and witnesses say that two had gotten into a fight the day before she was found. He was a felon who was currently set to appear in court for felony possession of a firearm.

So maybe 4 black people were hung due to racism. More likely, if any, it was 3. But also, maybe not. Not only do we not know any of these were murders, but we also don't know it was a white person that did it even if it was murder

and you're talking about a problem that is, at most, 7 people across the entire united states over 8 months

I WILL FIGHT FOR THAT LITTLE WHITE LADY!!! 😭✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

The last time black people raised up to protect their neighborhood with the black panthers, we all saw what happened.

CIA propaganda made them out to be the bad guys. Imagine that.

The mass surveillance is being run by the klan

For sure. When there's no ladder on site, no low branches so it would be an extremely difficult tree to climb by yourself, and they're calling it a suicide the next morning you know they didn't bother to investigate.

Nightmare on Elmstreet police department, find a dozen kids clawed to death and skinned in their own beds with no sharp objects near any of them and say it was a rash of suicides.

picuki.site is how I view Instagram links

Does this work for you?

Same.

Further more, is there any good front end for Instagram? Most of what I get seaching around either don't work, are sketchy as balls, or very limited.

I'm not on it either. Was going to download the video to post but figured it'd be better to give what seems to be the source.

they just don't have to hide their faces anymore.

She works as the host(?) of a kids show. Basically modern Mr. Rogers, as far as I can tell, in terms of being a good person and just wanting to be a good role-model for children.

The post isn’t long. It’s “black people don’t hang themselves from trees” in regards to the fact that over a half-dozen people have been found fucking lynched and no one has done fuck-all about it.

She's a children's entertainer that's often compared to Mr Rogers (IDK how true it is, I don't have kids) who like a year or two ago began speaking on politics calling for an end to the genocide in Gaza, particularly focusing on the children of Palestine.

She's not an influencer. Not everyone is.

Thanks. I can't say I enjoy anything about it, but I definitely appreciate that reaction more than the guy who said it must be like the pot calling the kettle black last night.

I'd been imagining lots of people doing similar things and it becoming a news article that could cause an asshole to have an aneurysm.

Well the thing is, in this case Jason Arday was targeted by the British media via a compaign orchestrated by a "source" with known funding from Peter Thiel. So I'm afraid this is very much linked to the American cesspit.

Are you mocking people being hung because you're bitter someone that's not any of those people told you to look after yourself?

African Americans do not hang themselves from trees in public places. They know better. They know what that implies

Not to be that guy

Proceeds to be "that guy."

As hills go, man. I'm not sure I would've died on this one, sheesh.

How many people hang themselves on trees in the US?

Suicide method is highly preferential, meaning that if someone is prevented from their chosen method, the vast majority simply do not commit suicide. We've seen this over and over - not just on a personal level, if you install prevention measures on a popular suicide spot the local rate of suicide goes down

For men in the US, guns are the most common method (pills for women). Hanging isn't uncommon, but doing so outside is

It's also highly cultural. In more collectivist countries, public suicide happens much more. The US is very individualistic, so while people will jump from bridges and such, it tends to be done in private spaces. Doing it as a public display just isn't as common here

Not to mention the fact that the cases I've read about have been sketchy as hell... Very speedy investigation, ignoring signs like bruising and contusions, no mention of alcohol or drugs

And finally, it's lynching. There's certainly cultural weight to lynching as a method of group murder, especially of certain groups

So no... Seven people choosing is too few for it to be a new chosen method in the zeitgeist - if it were dozens, that would be far more convincing. This is sketchy as hell

Yeah, my doctor said they had detected traces of cancer in my body, and I was like, pssh, statistically doc, I ain't worried about it.

I mean, talk about a worrier. I don't think people even die of cancer?

That’s a really awful take on the situation, you deserve more down votes than I’m allowed to give

Only 7? So, does that mean you have an acceptable number of lynchings? What is it? 20? 100? 10,000? The population of black and brown people maybe?

And these are just the ones we're aware of. And the media will be like "dO yOu SuPpOrT dEfUnD tHe PoLiCe?"

You sound like you probably watch the multiple videos of officers beating essentially children who are complying at traffic stops and then cheer or claim there's no problem or that they deserved it.

And to address your whataboutism, more people die from car accidents. Even more than that die from our current healthcare system. Yes. Those are all problems. All of which are perpetuated or made worse by rich, conservative white people too. But they're not what's being discussed here.

Go fuck yourself.

Don't be that guy

Are you deadass? Whataboutism?

I don't have time to unpack how abject it is to care about one of those groups of people but not the other, somehow, so I'm just going to jump on the bandwagon here with my own phrasing:

You have failed to follow Wheaton's Law, and it would behoove you to do so in the future.

Your argument doesn't hold water. The means of death here - hung from a tree - is statistically significant when it comes to suicides AND murders. The fact that none of these were investigated is also unusual. And then we add the fact that this specfic kind of death has been used historically, up through the present, as a means of communicating racism, prejudice, and intimidation. Combined, it is compelling evidence for foul play.

You are now that guy. Tagging you as a racist.

Bro you again? lol
