Morbid question but did anyone here had an ancestor that was lynched or survived one?

Great uncle was lynched somewhere not far from Mobile, AL

I’m sure some of those inbred white supremacist b*stards are around still, would love to torch their homes

Most likely yes.

My grandfathers on my mothers fathers side were some OGs out in Texas tho. I think my great great grandma had a lot of boys so we had numbers.

Ran shyt their way out in Austin way way back in the day. Guns from Red Dead Redemption. Bootlegging and all that, CACS couldn’t tell em shyt would shoot a CAC in a second

It’s bound to be stories for any of us who have strong ties to the south.

My pops cousin went fishing with some white kids from school and just disappeared. When they finally found his remains a few months later, both his hands were gone.

Cops didn’t do anything

As far as I know, my grandpa’s cousin’s dad was a trucker who once had a route in the Deep South/Mississippi. Apparently he just disappeared and never came home. They assume he was lynched but never talk about it.

I don’t know too much beyond my great grandparents generation.

My OG's don't like talkin' about or acknowledging such things.

Look up Rubin Stacy. A black man lynched in Fort Lauderdale in 1935. He was a sharecropper working the fields near what is now Davie Road (If anyone down south know, Davie is Klansville still to this day) according to white media, he was thirsty when he knocked on a white woman's door Marion Jones. She claimed he attacked her with a knife. He went on the run for 3 days where he'd be caught by Mr. Mcdougald a constable, ironically the Sample-McDougald House in Pompano is named after him. Mr. Mcdougald reported him to Sheriff Clarke, a known White Supremacist, Broward's first Sheriff. Sheriff Clarke and his brother arrested Rubin then took him to the Miami Jail, they were stopped by members of the Klan. They took Rubin near the home of Marion Jones where they lynched him, CACS were all in attendance, taking turns passing a revolver around after he was already lynched. After his lynching George Benton who was our mortician, buried Rubin Stacy in an unmarked grave at Woodlawn. In 1973 the FDOT building I95 ran the highway through a chunk of the cemetery and to this day, many people believe Rubin is under I95.

The story of Rubin Stacy is tied into the Chambers trial that happened in Pompano in 1933, it was a dark period in Broward County during that time. There's pieces I left out because it is too much to type. Rubin Stacy family I'm really close with. RIP Miss Anne Naves
