So frustrating I'm sure to try and make a point about the very real decline of violence in human society and immediately have this ridiculous equivalencing of being dragged through the streets and tortured and murdered by a mob to having one's feelings hurt on the internet.

This is why every person, but ESPECIALLY black people, should know the song “Strange Fruit“.https://youtu.be/nTFXjFAUoXU

I also wonder if they’re this had something to do with breaking up black families after slavery. Maybe some of the men were lazy drifters, maybe some couldn’t get a steady job, but maybe, just maybe some of them thought… Well if I get lynched I don’t want my kids to watch.

well decline of violence. There's parts of the world in which violence gets intesified, overall looks good, but some places become more and more like hell. even it out, make ethnic cleansings go away, deal with congo, then celebrate.

Lynchings my look different, but sadly, they’re “alive and well” in the U.S.
-
They look like angry mobs who want to carry out justice outside the system
-
Yes. And sometimes those “angry mobs” are, themselves, members of the justice system.
-
Lynching is by definition outside of the justice system. It's the actual crowds of shouting angry people that worry me more than that
-
Law enforcement takes “justice” into their own hands, particularly with unarmed black men, to the extent that it qualifies as lynching. It’s not always outside the system.

Our system of laws ensure that we can give up our rights through action. That's what prison is. The number of unarmed people shot is higher where there are more unarmed people and higher violent crime. That's true of any race, and happens to every race. You're just bias

I'm not saying disparities exist, I'm saying they can be explained by many factors, and being a bigoted ass isn't the answer to it. In fact, it makes it worse and keeps it going

The decline of violence ? We needlessly slaughter 150 billion equal animals every year and growing with the human population and eat them just for pleasure We’ve reached the point in our evolution where we do not need to kill and eat each other for a reason Irrational=Sleeppic.twitter.com/mdZlDqaqdD
