Federal Investigation Finds ‘No Evidence’ That Lynching of Otis Byrd Was a Homicide

In March, we here at Melanoid Nation ran a story that was a reminder that Jim Crow has returned to the United States.

Otis Byrd, the 54-year-old Melanoid man who was found hanging from a tree–quite likely from lynching–was denied of posthumous justice. The incident, which occurred in Claiborne County Mississippi, sparked much concern, and was the center of national news outlets.

Fast forward to today, and it has been ruled by the Department of Justice that there appears to be a lack of evidence needed to proceed with criminal civil rights charges in the death of Mr. Byrd.

Check out the story here for the rundown.

    This is typical modus operandi of the government lately. If black people are killed it is due to a number of reasons, but NEVER because the victims were black. That black guy was killed because he was sagging. That black girl was killed because the officer missed his intended, unarmed, target. Sadly, even though most of those points belong to an Onion article, they are very much true events that occurred in the past year or so.

    A recent story is a dad and mother (African-American) being congratulatory at their daughter’s graduation celebration, and they were cited a $500 fine, and could face jail time if they cannot pay for simply being happy.

    White supremacy is gearing up heavily right now. It’s at a point where we, as black folk, have got to get it together or we are all done. Doesn’t matter if you are a coon, negro bedwench, goon, etc…, if you are black, you will be systematically exterminated, your offspring will be exterminated, and anything about YOU as a black individual will be wiped out. No time to, “pick sides” because there is only one side, and that is, black/Melanoid.

    Unfortunately most,but definitely not all,black/melanoid people are a scary acting group. Whenever i bring up the issue of caucasian/white supremacy to most of my friends/acquaintances and family members,i get a nervous ,grinning smirk or the the deflecting comments”what about black on black crime”, we’re our own worst enemy”, “i have white friends” bullshit. Too many of us are just too damned ignorant and don’t analyze situations around us to realize we have been played by these conniving,treacherous non black/pigmented groups. But many us do and go by that old adage”just go along to get along” nonsense and willingly be dissed just to keep the fucking peace. Separation and our own economy is our best solution.plus a strong arsenal/military to protect ourselves from the real thugs!
