Do the math
@RussContreras, nearly all immigrants came after the 1965 Immigration Act. Only Native Americans were here in any real numbers before that. Lynchings were nearly always used to police & terrorize Blacks-the ex slaves. Stop trying to shoehorn POC into our history.17 replies 78 retweets 226 likes -

US took Mexico in 1848. Not only were there Native people living on those lands but also people of Mexican ancestry. This of course was decades before 1965. (My people were here in 1800s too).

We are talking about the history of lynching as it pertains to Black Americans particularly because 5 young Black men have been lynched in the last 2 weeks. Your people have suffered also but this is the convo we are having right now.

No, the convo started after my piece about the history of lynching in the US, which targeted Blacks, Latinos and Native Americans and their deep drive to pass federal anti-lynching legislation.https://apnews.com/be4be7eb84b6a0648f189a1332914af1 …
