Has the NAACP Forgotten What Racial
Hatred Looks Like?
DO YOU UNDERSTAND AMERICAN HISTORY?
A photo essay.
In the United States, a black man is burned after being hung.
The average lynching included souvenier body parts taken before and after death.
During the height of the lynching era 1880-1930 an average of one black man
per week was killed. They died because of racism and bigotry and the color of their skin.
The Sioux, 1890, Wounded Knee Massacre
Photographed 4 days after being shot, carried to this spot for the photograph, a medicine man lies across 2 other dead Sioux.
Of the 300 dead two thirds were children and women. The blankets shown cover more bodies.
They died because of racism and bigotry and the color of their skin.
WHO CAN FIND ANY HONOR IN MAKING THESE PEOPLE INTO MASCOTS?
We are calling for help and support from all races to fight against racial ethnic and religious hatred in the United States of America. We are especially concerned by African American support of the Indian mascot and call for the immediate boycott of all professional sports teams and the immediate sanction of all educational institutions that abuse Native American Religions and people by making them into mascots.
WILL THE NAACP COME OUT OF HIDING?
We are indebted to Milford F. Plaines and his work which can be found at the African American Holocaust site
