" May 19, 1918, thirty-three-year-old Mary Turner, eight months pregnant, was burned, mutilated, and shot to death by a local mob after publicly denouncing her husband's lynching the previous day. In the days immediately following the murder of a White planter by a Black employee on May 16, 1918, at least eleven local African Americans including the Turners died at the hands of a lynch mob in one of the deadliest waves of vigilantism in Georgia's history. No charges were ever brought against known or suspected participants in these crimes. From 1880-1930, as many as 550 people were killed in Georgia in these illegal acts of mob violence."

When I hear 'maga' this is exactly what they really mean , desire and ache for. Their person won the election and yet they are still are upset why ? Maybe tomorrow I will start to delve into what is at work truthfully.

Well, the Turner's story and all of the other atrocities are absolutely horrible, I don't quite think today's population is at the stage of lynching.. You're taking things too far.

You know how very opposed I am to Maga, and how I make regular comparisons to 1930s Germany. I'll allow that there is a correlation, and a slope between one and the other, but I don't see Maga people pining for public lynching. Let's at least be real about our criticism of them.

I have seen more racist comments posted by you on this board than I have observed elsewhere over the last 20 years.
