Think about this: what would have happened if Chris Rock would have been sucker punched by a white guy?
What about the violence against blacks?
How many more laws would have been passed? Democrats already passed anti-lynching laws recently, since according to VP Kamala Harris and the NAACP, lynchings still occur. REALLY?
What does the NAACP say about this?
MODERN-DAY LYNCHINGS
You might think of lynchings as a disgraceful and barbaric practice from the past, but they continue to this day. In 1998, James Byrd was chained to a car by three white supremacists and dragged to his death in the streets of Jasper, Texas. In 2020, Ahmaud Arbery was fatally shot while jogging near Brunswick, Georgia. The three white men charged with killing Arbery claimed he was trespassing.
The videotaped death of George Floyd was a modern-day lynching. Floyd was killed in broad daylight by police officer Derek Chauvin, who held Floyd down with a knee on his neck for more than nine minutes.
Lynchings like these should not be part of American society today just as they should not have been 100 years ago. NAACP will continue to fight back against white supremacy and violence, and demand that people responsible, including law enforcement officers, be held accountable.
https://naacp.org/find-resources/history-explained/history-lynching-americaGeorge Floyd was lynched? Really? And was officer Derek Chauvin held accountable? I have to THINK.
After multiple failed attempts across twelve decades, there is now a federal law that designates lynching as a hate crime. In a Tuesday ceremony at the White House, President Biden signed the Emmett Till Antilynching Act into law.

And I guess all the anti-gun laws in Chicago prevents all the deaths of thugs and by thugs in Chicago each weekend.

120 victims were killed in Chicago in 2022.
And is 2022 OVER? Oh, NO, it is was updated today, 3/30/22.
https://graphics.suntimes.com/homicides/St. Louis (MO) had 196 killings in 2021

There have been 79 homicides in Baltimore in 2022.
https://baltimorewitness.org/Many of these killings (homicides) occur in large cities and those murder victims are blacks.
This narrative about blacks being victims of racism is almost as a big a falsehood as
1) saxi posts daily, and
2) BLM claiming Black Lives Matter. No, only the black lives that matter are the ones THEY say matters, not the 100 (estimated) of the 120 killed in Chicago (and other large cities) so far in 2022.
