Modern Day Lynching Must
Stop by Any Means Necessary!
The Term Lynching is multifaceted and includes the act of killing someone without a legal trial, which today is being carried out by Police in lieu of the Klu Klux Klan. It was typically associated with Groups of Whites killing or causing death to Blacks at will. It is undeniable that there is a coordinated SYSTEMATIC effort to marginalize and murder Black People.
We Will Remember…
“We do not realize that the massive deaths of Black males constitute the genocide of Black people (as it takes Black males to make Black babies and ensure future Black generations).”

60 MILLION DEAD AT THE HANDS OF WHITE CHRISTIAN IMPERIALISM
The largest slave trade in the history of the world was created by white Christian Europeans. Before it was over as many as 60 million Africans would be killed for the profit of white Christian imperialism. This was the worlds largest and most gruesome recorded Holocaust! Reparations are yet to be made.
Jim Crow Era Lynching of Blacks in America
From 1882 to 1968, 4,743 lynchings occurred in the U.S., according to records maintained by NAACP. It’s impossible to know for certain how many lynchings occurred because there was no formal tracking. Many historians believe the true number is underreported.
1,641 Unarmed Black Men Killed by Police
Between 2013 and 2019 there was 1,641 known fatal shootings of unarmed black men by Police Officers. African Americans are 3 times more likely to be killed by police officers than white Americans. In addition, over 229 Black people (see their names) have been killed by police officers across the U.S. in the year following George Floyd’s murder. See their names
Death by RACISM in America and Around the World
It is not just racial violence killing off people of color. It is also the entire system of racial inequity not only in America but throughout the world! People of color around the globe are declining at a rate higher than any other ethnic group. This is a direct result of Global Racism! Death by Racism
Our Assassinated Leaders
When a Martyr is assassinated by the government it sends a rippling chill down the spine of future Leaders. A part of the goal of assissinating those that oppose oppression is to instill fear into supporters and future Leaders of Opposition. It is time for both the Fear and the Oppression to be dispelled!
The Unknown and Unrecorded Martyrs
There are so many Martyrs whose stories and names that we just don’t know. We recognize and honor them as well! We also honor and recognize those Martyrs around the world that suffered as a result of fighting against Oppression.
Political Prisoners
The alternative to assissinating Martyrs is to make a lasting example of them by putting them in prison and throwing away the key. The United States government is notorious for this tatic instead of working to address the civil concerns of the people. The MOVE NINE is just one horric example of this. See their names
