30. My point is that historically speaking more than "a few" people got hung for all
sorts of reasons without being black or men or even adult, none of which involved what we would consider a crime. Parties at the time and scene of execution were not unusual and again, were not limited to black men. Talismans and pictorial mementos celebrating their demise were not unusual nor was the practice limited to black men. People began as barbarians and, given our current president's passion for torture, apparently that has not changed. You seem to have missed it.

As far as taking your history class? I can't believe I'm saying this because I have several teachers and a couple of graduates of doctoral programs in my family and have always supported teachers and schools in my vicinity, but no thanks.
