[W:62]Mississippi senator, whose runoff opponent is black, jokes about 'public hanging'

[HumblePi]

I'm not the one conflating anything. You are, and for cheap political purposes. Her reference was to a public hanging; the left's hyenas are responsible for the conflation with lynching. Public hangings took place across the US far and wide, not just (or even mostly) in the South. The last US public hanging was in the 1930's.

Oh yeah, google when the last public hanging that Cindy Hyde-Smith witnessed was.

Doesn't matter in the slightest. The phrase remains in the language long after the practical circumstance has passed into history. Much like: "The squeaky wheel gets the grease."

She probably learned it in school- she went to a ‘segregation academy’ formed at the time so she wouldn’t have to go to school with all those black kids with lynched relatives.

But that was a long time ago.

But... she sent her daughter to the same school.

Yikes.

This hanging comment alone might not have been much. But the school and confederate stuff, painful.

Meaningless. She will win comfortably.

 

[VanCleef]

She probably will win, but it's not meaningless.

 

[Threegoofs]

True.

The racist tendencies are baked in, and you don’t care. I get it.

 

[Jack Hays]

She probably will win, but it's not meaningless.

Yes. It is. She is only culpable of being a target of lefty hyenas.

 

[Jack Hays]

True.

Nothing presented has demonstrated "racist tendencies."

 

[VanCleef]

Yes. It is. She is only culpable of being a target of lefty hyenas.

Whether or not it is meaningless is purely subjective. I'm sure her going to this school, her remarks on the confederate, and hanging comment has meaning to some.

They only have "meaning" to those who would never support her in any case.

 

[calamity]

More than likely she was motivating voters who might have thought a woman was not quite up to the job of being "one of them." But, feel free to look for the dumbest denominator.

 

[Threegoofs]

Nothing presented has demonstrated "racist tendencies."

True.

Alluding to a lynching in Mississippi and being devoted to a segregationist school with a mascot holding a confederate flag is not racist.


It’s just totally normal in your world.

Where is this despicable getting funding from? Some sponsors have dropped her, but others have not. Yet

I read that all members of the Devos family have donated the max amount.

1. A public hanging is not a lynching.
2. The school is no longer segregated.
3. Confederate flag mascots are common throughout the South, including the University of Mississippi.

1. It has for the last 70 years in Mississippi

2. Thanks, civil rights! I bet she wishes it still was tho.

3. People who revere traitors aren’t fit for Congress.

From Lincoln's second inaugural address:

[h=1]“We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.”[/h]

Some people just are wistful for slavery and white supremacy.

I guess they’re cool in your book.

There is no evidence she is either.

No- I get it from understanding the last 150 years of US history.

Oh, I see. "Understanding...history" has shown you that "Some people just are wistful for slavery and white supremacy." Alrighty then.
