Revision as of 00:45, 13 May 2015
Today, when doing the rounds on popular news aggregator Reddit, I came across an article about the May 11 (2015) Greensboro Georgia lynching of Roosevelt Champion III, 43. As the agreed upon story goes so far:
“ | "Greensboro Police Chief Ossie Mapp who is a Black Male, along with others in the Greensboro PD told NBC News that a neighbor called 911 about 9 a.m. ET to report finding a body behind a house on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. Police discovered the body of Roosevelt Champion III, 43, who Champion didn't live at the address in Greensboro, in east-central Georgia between Athens and Augusta, Mapp said." | ” |
As I was going through the comments of one of my favorite Black subreddit: Blackit, I read the comment that made me chuckle-smh a little.
So true, Alienm00se. So true.
Anywho, the comments were few on Blackit, so I said to myself, “what are white folks saying about this lynching. I scrolled up and clicked ‘other discussions’, and lo and behold,
Another one down? What?
Ohhh its /r/coontown. Lets see what they comments are looking like…
First thing that caught my eye was all the graphics put up around the site
...and I knew what I was dealing with. Unrefined racists, downright pleased with this news.

TLDR
Unrefined white folks publicly denounce racism, while privately bigging it up. Refined white folks publicly and privately denounce racism while making laws that restrict the lives of non-white people.
