, and the blacks weren't all innocent. But all the white people murdering them were innocent? He said no such thing. He said and the blacks weren't all innocent. So I ask the question if the one being murdered was not innocent what does that make the one who kills him? You did notice the question mark at the end of the sentence? You do know what that means don't you? Then stop acting the fool. He said that not all of them were innocent, you choose to interpret that to mean that none of them were. There are situations, or were in days gone by when what we now call lynchings were the only "justice" avaliable. It was unfortunatly capricious, and often the opposite of just. This does not justify the action but it, in those cases explains it. Many lynchings were just pure racist acts but that does not justify you assuming anyone you disagree with a racist. It also does not justify assuming anyone who tries to clairify things is a fool just because they do not buy into your view. Yes I noticed the question marks but the questions themselves carried with them the presumption that he was saying something entirely different than he acctually was.
