    Here’s the thing about this @cindyhydesmith :: public hangings never happened in Mississippi during your lifetime. Ever. Only lynchings. And your state led the nation in the lynching of Black folk. This is shameful.https://twitter.com/LamarWhiteJr/status/1061649185110417408 …

        Someone must have forgotten Emmett Till. Is Mississippi going to start hanging kids for smiling at white folks again and not bringing the lynchers to justice? They haven't yet 60 plus years later.

        It’s amazing how deeply embedded off hand comments such as these are in certain cultures. They are as familiar and comfortable to them as old slippers. Ms Hyde-Smith is blind and insensitive to diverse cultures outside of her own. Not right for a new Miss.

        The statement @cindyhydesmith made is horrible and hateful. Her constituents, her fellow Republicans and the country need to let her know this kind of talk is unacceptable and should never be tolerated.

        It’s beyond shameful. She should be run out of the Senate either way for the comment. It may be a colloquialism in Mississippi but for us it wreaks of racism and the lynching of black people. She is a disgrace to this country but I’m sure @realDonaldTrump is very proud of her.
