Honoring Black Ancestors : STRANGE FRUIT:IN HONOR OF OUR ANCESTORS LYNCHED IN AMERIKKKA...

Sista Carrie and Brotha Red, I once read a sorry book called Worse Than Slavery, about the prison farm system down south following slavery, where the author mentions African children as young as 5 or 6 being lynched for sport...

In Alan Lomax's book, The Land Where The Blues Began, Big Bill Broonzy talks about a family being lynched because one of it's members had "committed" some kind of an "offense", and run off to the north... The fact of the matter is, as you mentioned Red, our only "offense" often was in being Black... That was their pretense for murdering us in cold blood...

What really galls me is the level of barbarity used to committ these crimes... After all, these are a people who claim always to feel menaced in the presence of an African male... That is why they hung Mrs. Mary Turner up by her ankles, and poured gasoline on her pregnant body, and burned her alive - alive!!!! And they say that we should be upset over O.J.(LAUGH) Pleeeeze!(smile!)

Peace!
