I am inclined to agree with you, but to be fair there have been some liberals that have engaged in violence and threats of violence since the election. When it comes to the extremes, there are no "good guys".I'm going to go out on a limb here. Just follow me for a second. I have a sneaking suspicion they aren't coming from liberals.

apdst said:what makes you think white people have never been lynched? Lynching isn't exclusive to black folks.
I didn't say anything racist I stated a fact you aren't black.
I'm going to probably regret getting involved in this, but... What is black?
This line of thinking is part of the problem with race relations, the notion that all individuals must march and think in lockstep, lest they are somehow less then worthy of their physical identity. That's just repugnant.
Because apdst is white, not black.

For the reason I've already stated. It's directly related to your ability to judge of the case soundly. If you aren't black, you just don't know what it's like to get that kind of threat. It's recent enough in history to be taken seriously. The difference is this: most people make death threats and don't mean them. And probably, you know that if someone has had a couple beers, gets mad, and tells you he's going to kill you, you'll know he's probably not serious. But if that person happens to be, say, Whitey Bulger, that's serious. A threat of lynching carries that level of fear for a black person...and unless you're black (or at least some minority with similar experience), you flat don't understand that point.
1. White lynchings account for a small number of all lynchings in the U.S. In short, white people haven't had to face engrained racism and discrimination in this country.
2. When white people were lynched, they were most often lynched for committing some crime. Black people were lynched usually for just being black. Threatening a black person with lynching is like threatening a Jew with a gas chamber or an Indian with the 7th cavalry. It's downright low.
Are you saying he's not physically black? I have always accepted that he is, never had a reason to question it, but I don't know that for certain, either.

He's physically white.
He's physically white.
I have a sneaking suspicion of the exact opposite.

Ok. Fair enough.
LOL !! Oh Bull **** fake news
Al Greene a race baiting, low life idiot. He's right up there with Shiela Jackson Lee as stupid Politicians go and unfortunately is a representitive of a State I love and have calle home for the last 50 years
apdst said:How can you say that and then agree that white folks have been lynched?
apdst said:Having a family member lynch isn't a qualification to be black.
You are literally the only person who thinks that.
He wants to lynch the president. Karma's a bitch.
When it's important. This isn't important. I already defended you, show some gratitude and accept it.Ask him how he knows. We want people to back up their accusations. You're a huge proponent of that, aren't you?
No he isn't. For all we know, Greene may be lying.
Sorry. You also think it. Great company you and reinoe. Trump's (edited)holsters.

It being Texas, they may just follow through on their threat.
