Every American has the right to a trial, by jury, with the presumption of innocence until proven guilty, where they can face their accuser and plead their case. Those are some of our most fundamental constitutional rights. Even if it were the case that they had committed some terrible crime, they were still robbed of their right to a trial.

That's of course ignoring the fact that you're full of shit. They lynched people for standing up to white supremacy. Lynchings where the person deserved to die were the exception, not the rule. Read some history.

Raping a white woman isn't standing up to white supremacy

I like how you first assured me that you knew your history, wrote that most people that were lynched weren't black, and then quietly deleted it when you realized you were wrong.

And just to be clear, obviously raping someone isn't standing up to white supremacy. But as the more violent companion to Jim Crow laws, lynchings were very much a part of enforcing white supremacy.

I saw two conflicting sources on who was lynched the most, but that wasn't really the point of what you were saying before. They were usually guilty of the crimes they were accused of. And "white supremacy" is an anti-white myth. Here is who actually are the victims of interracial violence.

And "white supremacy" is an anti-white myth.

The American history of slavery, Jim Crow laws, and the well-documented struggle of the civil rights movement so thoroughly refutes this claim that I have to wonder if you've ever taken a history class. Or are you like the "pro-white" equivalent of the young earth creationist that claims the entire fields of geology and paleontology are fraudulent?

Every country and every race has a history of slavery, some much more recent than others. Singling out America is the myth.

Did you not actually read the thread? He suggested guys like this were the reason lynchings lasted so long in the South, and I replied that racists were the reason lynchings lasted so long in the south.

No shit slavery wasn't unique to America. But he claimed that white supremacy is an anti-white myth in the context of a discussion which was obviously about the USA. You would have to be incredibly ignorant to believe that white supremacy was never a thing in the USA.

But nice attempt at switching goalposts.

It's not switching the goalposts. Literally all countries with a majority of a certain race have benefitted that country where that race is the majority. It's only white nations that are singled out for their victories during the might-is-right era (aka all modern civilization before the Jews took over). If we live in a white supremacist nation, then why do east-Asians have higher mean incomes than whites? They didn't have the easiest of times immigrating to the U.S., but they succeed. Yet, blacks not only fail here. They fail in literally every non-black nation they immigrate to, with the exception of Nigerians that immigrate in families. The fact is that blacks have always had a standard of living that has been higher here than any civilization they created on their own. They should be thanking their lucky stars that the Jews took them on those slave ships to the U.S.

Okay.. I'll just rephrase. All races have a subset that believe their race is superior to others. It's normal. America is no different. And I might add that if you suppress it within one race, then you merely allow the supremacist voices in other races to grow louder.
