"The anonymity connected to that expression, whether it was by antagonists or allies, contributes to the racial terror that black people have to face in the country. We find it radically insensitive at best and a re-inscription of racial terror...."That's in Berkeley. There was something similar in Madison recently, blogged here.

Lynching effigies don't make good anti-racism protest art.
Unattended displays like this don't work.

But they sure are great in stoking the flames of hatred under that left-wing cauldron called Berkeley.
racial terror that black people have to face in the country.
Does the terror of blacks murdering and otherwise victimizing each other count as "racial" if they're the same race? A few months worth of those murders produces more dead "black bodies" than all the lynchings, ever.
But don't forget, white people are bad, and Berkeley students are oppressed.
Lynchings done in the south 100 years ago was a sporadic and illegal mob of vigilantes brushing aside the law enforcement and the courts. The mob actors today have been reversed.
No the haven't been reversed. They've been Democrats all along.
For a while now the perpetrator in every one of these sorts of displays has been found among the ones supposed to have been targeted.
This one can be taken as anti or anti-anti. As for "whether it was by antagonists or allies" - is there really much doubt?
Lynching anyone in political effigy is bad form and usually backfires. Just ask the clowns in West Hollywood.
"The anonymity connected to that expression, whether it was by antagonists or allies, contributes to the racial terror that black people have to face in the country."
So, black people are terrorized by their allies. Got it. Meanwhile, here in the real world, white people are terrorized by black people. Liz Warren catching fire is a metaphor, but the woman burned to death in Mississippi would still be alive if someone had told her to stay the Hell away from black people.
But, is is "free speech".
It looks like a Crack Emcee stunt. Didn't he post many of those same lynching photos on his blog? Wasn't he always out to making shocking and controversial points? Didn't he move back to the Bay Area?
So to conclude: The only groups that today use the lynching of black people, even in effigy and for political protest, are leftists.
And who is the racist, now?
