This past February, the House passed the Emmett Till Antilynching Act which designates lynching as a federal hate crime. Given ongoing racial violence, it is imperative that we remember the racial terror inflicted on thousands of Black Americans and acknowledge sins of the past.pic.twitter.com/LcOdrXmQ5E
The Emmett Till Antilynching Act passed by a tremendous bi-partisan margin of 410-4 in the House. But it has not passed in the Senate because of one man: Rand Paul. Rand Paul has single-handedly prevented this bill from being passed in the Senate.https://apnews.com/a8ba886090278a61825bc15e2795228d …
As we remember the life and legacy of Emmett Till today, let's not forget that this man, Rand Paul, has single-handedly BLOCKED Congress from final passage of the Emmett Till Antilynching Act. His actions amount to complicity with racial violence of today.https://www.nationaljournal.com/s/707236?unlock=DAKP6B88C9EZ0C4H …
I’m sure other people voted against it too
If it's passed why can't we honestly just be like "you know what fuck that guy" and pass the bill anyways. Like "that's not how it works" so????? We ain't cowards just change shit
I know it is symbolically important, but it really is yet another unnecessary law that federalizes unnecessarily yet more state common law. This is feel goodyism. There are plenty criminal laws already.
Back in my very early days at Cato, my then-boss testified against expanding fed. hate crime protection to sex. orientation. Every pro-witness testified the relevant perps were all caught, convicted, and sentenced to life plus cancer.
Here we are in the 21st century and still getting lynched in the many forms. The Civil Rights movement has gained momentum at the sacrifice of many protesters' lives and freedom.
The one tiny, tiny many who stopped the passage of Emmett Till Antilynching Act is terrified & needs police escort because protestors yelled at him. Emmet was ATTACKED. If LittleRandy had time to call for an escort, he wasn't "attacked." He was yelled at.
@RandPaul
And you wonder why you were verbally accosted?
Seriously?
What kind of reprehensible monster a doesn’t support an ANTI-LYNCHING BILL??
You ARE aware of what lynching is, are you not?
