TMR Gave Me An Escape (But It Was Still A Close Call)


Can we kid? Yeah, we can.

There's been a lot of reverse-racism lecturing going on:
Let’s review: a “lynch mob,” in American culture, is a group of people who extrajudicially captured, murdered, and mutilated thousands of men, a majority of whom were black, in the 100-year-long period following the emancipation of African slaves in the 19th century. It is a particular, historically contingent phenomenon, an outgrowth of white Southerners’ anxiety about maintaining the social and economic order slavery had enforced. 
It is not “people who are criticizing me.”

I should add that, if you were being criticized, you might've been facing an online lynch mob if:


A) You're black and under attack.


B) The criticism was coming from a white mob.


C) The white mob said they don't think you're necessary.


D) There was no one willing to stop it as it happened,...
