Lol, I’ll play my tiny violin for ya, Hugz. Keep drudging up years old drama to distract from your shit behavior here. And, the thread was closed because your name was called out, but you can go ahead and make your own if you’d like.
Keep on trollin. I’m sure Jebus thinks this it’s a worthwhile way to spend your time.
I'm totally down with making the thread LFC, but you clearly haven't thought this through, I'm not going to make JUST a black news thread, I'm going to make a black/white news thread, of which I have 400 years of history to pull from, the thing is, now y'all are going to have to own every bit of it.
Just a little sample of whats to come.

Quote:Lynching of Jesse Washington
Jesse Washington was an African-American seventeen-year-old farmhand who was lynched in the county seat of Waco, Texas, on May 15, 1916, in what became a well-known example of racially motivated lynching. Washington was convicted of raping and murdering Lucy Fryer, the wife of his white employer in rural Robinson, Texas. He was chained by his neck and dragged out of the county court by observers. He was then paraded through the street, all while being stabbed and beaten, before being held down and castrated. He was then lynched in front of Waco's city hall.
Over 10,000 spectators, including city officials and police, gathered to watch the attack. There was a celebratory atmosphere among whites at the spectacle of the murder, and many children attended during their lunch hour. Members of the mob cut off his fingers, and hung him over a bonfire after saturating him with coal oil. He was repeatedly lowered and raised over the fire for about two hours. After the fire was extinguished, his charred torso was dragged through the town. A professional photographer took pictures as the event unfolded, providing rare imagery of a lynching in progress. The pictures were printed and sold as postcards in Waco.

You sure you still want to do this? Don't want to make the thread for nothing.
Pending unforeseen circumstances, I’d be perfectly OK with such a thread.
