White People Were Murderers Before Civil Rights Came Along

Eventually Current does not condone racism of any kind.

In the year 1930 there was not a black man in Georgia that did not fear for his own mortality.

Lynching was practically a rite of passage for most white people living in the south at the time.

Death at the hands of the notorious all-white lynch mob was a weekly occurrence and was considered a form of entertainment that went largely without mention for fear of cultural rules forbidding it and fear of the "Laws" of the Ku Klux Klan.

It was estimated that in 1930 alone, a negro male was lynched every week.

There was nothing a Negro could do oftentimes and was walked, oftentimes after he'd resigned himself to his fate and other times was beat until lynched. It was commonplace for law enforcement to either let this sort of thing happen or even to take part.

People know to acknowledge the extreme brutality of this period in American History if they are to behave in accordance with the those who championed the causes of civil rights legislation and movements which fundamentally redeveloped the principles of our nation.

The key messages of civil rights, especially in the south, were:

1. Do not lynch people.
2. All people are created equal.
3. All people must be free to Pursue Happiness.
