I know I stumbled upon a men’s rights sub, but my goodness you are speaking into an echo chamber. A quick Google search can show you documentation of the fact that black women were lynched at a comparable rate to men, maybe even higher.

Those sources said black women were lynched which no one disagreed with they just weren’t lynched anywhere near as much as black men (there were at least 90 black men lynched for ever black woman)

You can see the same trend in society today as well. White men are treated best, then we have white women, then we have black men, and at the bottom of the societal barrel are black women (extra discrimination points if you have a disability)

Just because progressivism says something doesn’t make it true. White men have the most institutional power on average but they are not treated the best it’s white women with the social power who are. White men and black women are on a similar level in terms of treatment each with their own pros and cons. We can come back to this convo when a george Floyd happens to black women or when a white man can get a woman of any color arrested for rape. Also please stop grouping women with minorities

You are not correct. This is racism.

Carolyn Bryant deserves to die in prison— and it was the lack of feminism that enabled her accusation to be used as ammo to lynch a black man: back then it was particularly common to believe children and women did not lie. Not because they were prioritized as being more important or virtuous, but because they were considered more sheltered and naive to learn the need to lie.

If feminism were more prevalent back then, Carolyn Bryant would have been questioned because she would have been regarded as equal—including her lying capacity.

Regarding minorities, they get the shit end of the stick too— everyone knows that. But there’s still also a difference between minority women and minority men, also. If genders were equal, racism would still be a problem that needs to be fixed. If racism was fixed, sexism would still be a problem.

But let’s be real— most of you people want to turn things back in time as much as possible.

You don’t care about racism, either. You merely care to point out racist issues to try and create an argument against feminism, so you could give a fuck about Emmett Till… more ammo to whine about feminism is all that matters to you guys.

….except this is not a feminist issue, this is a racism one.

These people were looking for an excuse explicitly to go after a black man, and it did not matter if it was a man woman or child who pointed a finger at him, so long as if they were white.

Regarding sexism: My statement still stands— if the genders were treated equally, with equal credibility, then there would be a lot of situations handled more appropriately. “Believe all women” is a thing because had there been an actual victim who was a white women, pointing a finger at a white man who really did attack her, you’d just sit around saying she was lying.

But… if it’s a white woman pointing a finger at a black man… well then there’s an excuse to attack a black man.

That’s why this isn’t sexist issue, it’s a racist one.

The woman accused of pointing out Emmett Till is unlikely to have killed him and may still be the victim of what was considered sexual harassment or assault at that time. Justice is not what is being sought now, but revenge on the last remaining link to that time, however true justice for both accused and accuser is unlikely after all this time.

Do not those calling for justice now, realise they are behaving similarly to that lynch mob 67 years ago and that same lynch mob mentality is continuing in the trials by media and by public over every accusation made in the news today, bypassing the basic tenets of justice: justice for both accused and accuser, the presumption of innocence and the application of due process?

Men are now the victims of accusation, with the justice system being watered down and bypassed by women intent on #killallmen as emotional lynch mob response to their hurt feelings of subjectively perceived disrespect. Times have not really changed at all in essence.

Didn't say it was a patient. And it wasn't. And the reason I didn't exactly say what I was and do is that every clueless imbecile on the planet comes out of the woodwork thinking they know better than I do about what is and isn't proper.....people who actually know what they are talking about ADORE all you social media "lawyers", "doctors", "epidemiologists", "political and international relations experts"........

(Edit) Also, a case in point demonstration of "crazy" showing how you literally just hallucinated something that isn't there, filling in the blanks with your cognitive biases.

Likely the Karen who got Emmet Till killed did a more severe version of the exact same thing, with something like "How DARE that little negro boy have the temerity to look me in the eye and smile. The sheer AUDACITY of it. I KNOW what he was thinking about! How DARE he even DREAM of having me a proper white woman!!!"

Those are secondary benefits. The purpose of punishment is retributive justice.

The concept of justice is subjective and varied depending on who is asked.

But the concept of punishment is not.

The function of prison is to keep society stable

You seem under the mistaken apprehension that it does so by keeping criminals off the streets whereas you do not seem to understand that it does so by preventing people from taking the law into their own hands because they feel that wrongdoers will be punished.

How does putting an old lady in prison with no known cues to current criminal behavior justify her with prison time?

As I said above, retributive justice. Would you let off a Nazi, mass murder, rapist, etc. because they did what they did a long time ago? How do you think the victims and their families would feel about that? How stable do you think society would be if wrongdoers were not punished, as you advocate?
