The lynching of Jesse Washington.
Washington was beaten with shovels and bricks,was castrated, and his ears were cut off. A tree supported the iron chain that lifted him above the fire. Jesse attempted to climb up the skillet hot chain. For this, the men cut off his fingers.
Jesse was 15.
1916.This is only one of the many images I see when I think of racism.
White followers and white people in general: Take a long hard look at this picture. Take a long hard look at the spectators to this abhorrent crime. The people who were behind the gruesome death of this 15 year old boy.
This is why Black people cannot just ‘get over it’.
This is why we are ‘whining’ and ‘complaining’ so much.
This is why you, white people, cannot say the word, nigger.
More fucking reblogs.
No you can’t touch my hair.
No you can’t say NIGGA, IDGAF if the rappers do.
Stay in your lane.
And so many of my white followers are going to ignore this post like they ignore any other black culture post I make.
