Hey White People,

Let's get off Jussie Smollett and deal with:

Angelina Herbert
Carolyn Bryant Donham
Sarah Page
Victoria Price & Ruby Bates
Charles Stuart and Matthew Stuart
Jesse Anderson
Susan Smith
Amanda Knox

What? You don't know any/many of these names? Why not? 1/
In 1886, after Angelina Herbert was raped & beaten, Samuel "Mingo Jack" Johnson—who raised in slavery in NJ and remained there after its 1840 abolishment—was lynched for the attack, which he did not commit. No one was convicted in the ensuing sham trial.

GENERAL NOTE: I'm going to take down this thread until I have a chance to draft the whole thing first. My first post was vague enough, that someone I respect mistook where I was going with it, so I want to rethink how to do it.
