So you don't think a story like a pregnant black woman getting killed by a mob of white people and her child being murdered as well (Mary Turner) is a sign of some diabolical type of evil? History shows just how ruthless white people act towards innocent black people.
Or some shyt like the execution of George Stinney
George Junius Stinney, Jr., (October 21, 1929 – June 16, 1944) was, at age 14, the youngest person
executed in the
United States in the 20th century.
[1]
Stinney was convicted of murdering two pre-teen girls after police said he confessed to the murders. But the question of Stinney's guilt, the validity of his alleged confession, and the judicial process leading to his execution have been criticized as "suspicious at best and a miscarriage of justice at worst",
[2] and as an example of the many injustices African-Americans suffered in courtrooms in the United States in the first half of the 20th century.

Following his arrest, Stinney's father was fired from his job and
his parents and siblings were given the choice of leaving town or being lynched. The family was forced to flee, leaving the 14-year-old child with no support during his 81-day confinement and trial.
His trial, including jury selection, lasted just one day. Stinney's court-appointed attorney was a tax commissioner preparing to run for office. There was no court challenge to the testimony of the three police officers who claimed that Stinney had confessed, although that was the only evidence presented. There were no written records of a confession. Three witnesses were called for the prosecution: the man who discovered the bodies of the two girls and the two doctors who performed the post mortem. No witnesses were called for the defense. The trial before a completely white jury and audience (African-Americans were not allowed entrance) lasted two-and-a-half hours. The jury took
ten minutes to deliberate before it returned with a guilty verdict.
The execution of George Stinney was carried out at the South Carolina State Penitentiary in
Columbia, on June 16, 1944. At 7:30 p.m., Stinney walked to the execution chamber with a
Bible under his arm, which he later used as a booster seat in the electric chair.
Standing 5 foot 2 inches (157 cm) tall and
weighing just over 90 pounds (40 kg), his size (relative to the fully grown prisoners) presented difficulties in securing him to the frame holding the electrodes. Nor did the state's adult-sized face-mask fit him; as
he was hit with the first 2,400 V surge of electricity, the mask covering his face slipped off, “revealing his wide-open, tearful eyes and saliva coming from his mouth”...After two more jolts of electricity, the boy was dead."
[6][7] Stinney was declared dead within four minutes of the initial electrocution. From the time of the murders until Stinney's execution, eighty-one days had passed.
