Nah, I can’t be convinced this was death by suicide. Black people do not lynch themselves from trees, and the fact that these cases have been dismissed so quickly without thorough investigation is telling.

I've seen quite a few true crime videos from the US where a woman been shot in the head was declared suicide despite the most basic evidence pointing to it being murder. That is another prejudice that seems prevalent in US police.

In the cases I saw, it was the husband, 4 murders, 3 different husbands. The police sided with the man because they had little regard for the women. A lot of men see women as something that is there for their pleasure or service. They see women as an appendage of the man they're with.

TRUMP HAS EMPOWERED AND EMBOLDENED KKK Neo-NAZIS & White Supremacists. By his racist, fascist demagoguery and dismantling of Fed investigation of lynchings (labeling any such investigation “DEI”), Trump has returned USA to the era of lynchings and Jim Crow. It’s insanity that ANY Blacks support him?

Yep. After trumps second election I read about black "suicides" hanging from trees. Knew at the first one it was a despicable lie. Being Woke just means not falling for the lies. We need to take the country back from Christian Nationalist/White Supremacist.

We seriously need to fully investigate every one of these with similar MOs. There's a serial killer on the loose or a group of them and they need to face justice Fast Before it happens again.

This is what happens when a racist who gives other racists permission to be racist takes control of a country, with the permission of all the racists who have wormed their way into power backing him up. The solution is no more republicans in power.

No Matter How Much HGTV Has Polished One Town In Mississippi It Hasn't Washed Away The Outright Racial Hatred Far Too Many Mississippi Racists Still Harbor. The Mississippi Burning Wing Of The KKK Exists & They Are STILL LYNCHING Innocent People. Educate Everyone To VOTE For DEMs To STOP Them.

I don't know enough about the rate of suicide among Black men or if there is some rule that they don't hang themselves but maybe where there is smoke there is a little fire as well. Either way it's extremely disturbing given the national rhetoric these days.

Seriously I often cringe that I am white! I cannot for my entire life understand Racism. My father was a bigoted hateful racist man and even tiny I cringed. This is so blatantly a message and I am so sorry 😞 this exists. Trump has emboldened and empowered it. He Loves 🖤 Hate AND messages by death.

Every time I hear of another one of these, my blood boils even more. Suicide MY ASS!! You redneck racists down south aren’t fooling ANYBODY!! And nothing but SILENCE from the elected DEMOCRATS!!

Remember when the George Floyd protests were starting up in 2020 and there were hangings on the West Coast in CA. Those weren't the only cases during that time but the two I often remember.

Fake Prez Sh!tty Trumporrhea is what happened giving a green light to racists and hatred so he can continue to embezzle; lining his own pockets and running amok with the constitution after buying off majority of SCOTUS.

DOJ is a joke - where's the justice for Epstein victims! but cushy numbers for one's committing the crimes. All of these cases need to be investigated properly and folks should not accept going back to the dark ages.

Anyone who claims black people hang themselves needs to read "On the Courthouse Lawn" by Sherrilyn Ifill to understand the communal, generational trauma created by lynching. No one affected by its legacy would do this to their family. It would be like a Jewish person using a crematorium oven.

The Russian oops fell or jumped out of a ten story window rhetoric! Racism is back at it’s worst with white Americans who think they are better then any Immigrant Who do all the jobs you would never do! Immigrants built America. The white just profited off their sweat! Get over it! We are all humans

Kinda pointless to ask the people doing the lynching to investigate their own crime. The community and victim's family should conduct their own investigation, track down any people responsible and then quietly (🤫quietly) deliver justice.

I absolutely agree. I would think hanging from a tree is the rarest form of suicide that a Black person would choose. and I agree the cases were labeled and closed way too quickly.

Trump and his DOJ has given white supremascists the nod to lynch Black people. They are preying on the kindness of Black people, asking them for help, isolating them and then killing and hanging them!! Racists who run these police departments call it suicide. Conceal and carry my people.

Given the whole history and background of the situation, there is about zero chance that these are suicides. This is just more redneck, racist shit from the 1850s or 1950s. This violence, this fear, this ignorance, and this inadequacy needs to be met head on. Finally a reason to call out the guard.

OMFG.. I REALLY can’t believe this sh!t is still happening in this century, not that it was ever ok, but some humans, especially white colored assholes, who feel threatened, feel inferior to POC, are just inept to evolve.. sub humans are what they are..

There has been so many in the last few years, I think the first I saw back during his first term had two in LA county called suicides and they weren’t. I think we have active lynchings going on covered up by police.

What is going on? Why is this not a major story? I only found out about this today, on here. It’s outrageous and disgusting and there needs to be a major investigation. Imagine the outrage there would be if they were White?

Lynching is historical, cultural & traditional, passed down thru generations, guaranteeing continuity. Killing, torturing & mutilating Black flesh was celebrated via family picnics, again for continuity. Cover ups ensured impunity. Today's lynchings are backlash for electing Obama. Continuity.

Historically, there is a cycle of extreme oppression, progress, backlash. The link is more specifically to Blackness/leadership which broke white minds to the point that they chose an incompetent grifting carnival barker twice. We are experiencing backlash in the form of extreme oppression. Kash=0

The empowerment of that regime was a reaction to Obama being president. White supremacy will always reassert itself. Racialized state terror (usually within the bounds of the law) will always be the main method of maintaining white supremacy.

Never underestimate the sheer revulsion of many to the election of a black man to the Presidency. Now they’ve been legitimized & enabled by an obscenely racist & vindictive man, thus empowering these slugs to emerge from under their rocks. Trump & Co.’s frequent use of Obama’s name is intentional 😒

Both things are connected; both things are true. It it is linked to Obama AND linked to the openly racist regime that came to power because of white supremacist backlash against Obama specifically & against multicultural America in general. The DoJ is currently a puppet of that racist regime.

Hanging yourself on a tree limb, would be next to impossible. But if you wanted to make it look like suicide, leave a ladder or a large step stool knocked over. I extremely doubt a Black person would do a tree hanging because of the history of lynching. Something is terribly wrong, hate crimes.

This is what happens when you let insurrectionists and their beliefs off the hook. Imagine where we'd be if all those assholes were properly punished after the Civil War, and all people of color were given the same rights and protections.

To me, it seems like a terror campaign across multiple states and it is not being aired on nightly news. These need to be investigated and the perpetrators jailed for murder. It’s disgusting and I am so done with white supremacy.🤬

Me too Dianne. I lived in Pensacola for over 35 years! It was my home always and after being widowed, I returned. I did not want to leave in 2021, but Covid-19 hit, and 4 hurricanes. Family encouraged me to move. Now in the sh*t hole state of AL. I just want to go home.

Will THIS COUNTRY EVER learn to get along ?!! Our Black brothers and sisters have been waiting 250 YEARS for their break, THEIR recognition, THEIR RIGHT to call themselves AMERICAN !!! And LOOK at their OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS to the WORLD !!!! It’s time.

Every morning I wake up lately, is one I wish I hadn’t. I’m so fed-up with EVERYTHING. They say if you don’t like your life, change it, but I REALLY WOULDN’T like to spend any time I have left, in prison, because I got rid of donny diapers. Honestly Amer. how could you be SOOO stupid ?

Whether it’s white on black or black on black hate crimes, it’s a symbol of self hate which can never be remedied by killing. It only develops a ‘thirst’ which is promoted by the depraved ‘Father of Our Country.’ I call upon the promised “wrath of God” to all who kill the innocent & unsuspecting.

MSM has always centered yt people in its narratives. The extreme rightwing oligarchy that owns our gov and our economy has wanted a return to Jim Crow ever since 1964. Fear-based oppression. Same shit. Different day.

Be mindful of stating absolutes, "no one," "all," "💯," etc. People of all ethnicities are capable of self-harm and in desperation may use any means. Yes, these tragic losses MUST be investigated, but always remember if you or a loved one is at risk please call 988. Those folks are happy to help! ❤️‍🩹

Even if a person chooses hanging as a suicide method, it it very unusual for them to choose an outdoor location. There needs to be more investigation, and not only by local authorities. The number of similar cases is worrisome.

The coroners know it’s lynching. And that the Justice Department won’t help. White people, time to get loud! Make a nuisance of yourself. Make it uncomfortable. Show up at public comments in town halls and ask questions. Phone calls to police departments.

Torrance "Tory" Medley is the case to keep pressing on... His phone and keys were never found and there's no way he got himself to where he was found... High probability of foul play. Reed's case is only known to Benjamin Crump. Basinga's family has said it was proven suicide so please stop.

The Unsolved Mysteries Alonzo Brooks episode, where his friends brought him to a party in rural Kansas and no one checks to make sure he had a ride home. It messed me up on SO.MANY.LEVELS. I hope those folks are kept awake every night that they're partially responsible for their friend's murder.

Black people, be vigilante, they are trying to get us on the front lines, by any means necessary, to then mow us down. You see what they’re doing to innocent white people protesting. The time is coming but it is not now. Mississippi, you are on notice, but it’s not going to be the outcome you crave.
