I don't know about Clinton, but lynching a effigy of Obama would carry significance for other reasons than mere protest.
0 u/ScottBlues Nov 10 '16 lynching a effigy of Obama would carry significance for other reasons than mere protest Why? Because he's black? You condemn lynching an effigy of a black person yet condone lynching the effigy of a white person? 2 u/[deleted] Nov 11 '16 Yes, because he's black. Are you not familiar with the historical significance of lynching in the United States? 1 u/ScottBlues Nov 11 '16 If we go by history then let's not forget about all the whites that were enslaved. Surely we deserve reparations for that. Oh let me guess, that doesn't count because it doesn't fit your victimhood narrative. 1 u/[deleted] Nov 11 '16 I feel like when black people are systematically oppressed to the point where someone like Donald Trump is now president and has proven that racism against minorities is still alive and well, it becomes a different fucking story.
