Black Democrat Running to be Senator From Kentucky Wears Noose Around Neck to Accuse Rand Paul of Supporting Lynching

Remember, we have to monitor and deplatform conservatives for engaging in incendiary rhetoric.

Democrats, however, can use the most dangerously-provocative, race-warring, assassin-inspiring language and imagery they want. If it can inspire just one low-propensity Democrat voter to go to the polls, or one Democrat ballot-harvester to cheat for a Democrat, then it's all worth it.

In a provocative and controversial push, the Democratic Senate nominee who's challenging Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky in November's midterm election wears a noose in a new ad criticizing Paul's past opposition to a measure to make lynching a federal hate crime.
But the spot, by former state lawmaker Charles Booker, makes no mention that Paul later supported an updated anti-lynching bill that is now law.
...
Taking aim at Paul, a former Republican presidential candidate who's running this year for a third six-year term representing Kentucky in the Senate, Booker argues that the senator is "the person who single-handedly blocked an anti-lynching act from being federal law."
Paul in 2020 held up legislation that would have made lynching a federal hate crime, saying at the time he was worried it could be applied too broadly. But the senator went on to co-sponsor the Emmett Till Anti-lynching Act, which was authored by Sens. Tim Scott, R-S.C., and Cory Booker, D-N.J. The bill passed the Senate three months ago and is now federal law.
...
"In the end, I think the compromise language will hopefully keep us from incarcerating somebody for some kind of crime that's not lynching," Paul said in March in an interview with the Louisville Courier. "We just wanted to make sure that the punishment was proportional to the crime, and I guess it's just good news that it finally worked out."

...
In his spot, which contains a viewer discretion advisory, Booker charges that "the choice couldn't be clearer. Do we move forward together or do we let politicians like Rand Paul forever hold us back and drive us apart? In November, we will choose healing. We will choose Kentucky."

Oh, Paul is the one dividing us, huh?

Let it be noted that Rand Paul was attacked by his lunatic neighbor in a surprise attack that required part of his lung to be surgically removed, and that various Democrat office-holders and media partisans have since cheered the beating and urged further beatings.

And now this m0therfvcker is accusing him of being a lyncher.

Lynching is a tool of terror. It was used to kill hopes for freedom. In Kentucky, it was used to kill three of my uncles.

In this historic election, the choice is clear. Rand Paul may want to divide us, but hate won’t win this time.

It’s time to move forward, together. pic.twitter.com/oYxuqKFdWR

I think it was accepting the goods available at the end point, and they probably shifted most of them on the way back east to get goods that were more desired at home. I think there was a lot of barter, not much hard currency.

The status of the peasantry depends on the power of the local nobility, whereas slaves you own free and clear. The peasants in Europe didn't get broadly enserfed until well after the fall of Rome. Slavery domestically was not terribly useful for the Nords domestically but they enslaved anyways.

281 Digital Trends article: The Problem with Disney and its queer-coded villains

Yes, villains are often one of the best parts...of Disney films...Their songs are the catchiest, their designs the most striking, and their behaviors instantly iconic. They are also, for the most part, queer-coded. This, as the article explains, means giving them queer clothing and mannerisms, normally to secretly insert it for representation, but Disney is problematic because it was mean-spirited, and made queerness seem evil. It has a picture of Scar limp-wristing lol.

Disney villains thrived on their queerness, savoring the wickedness of their actions and almost getting off on it. Think of Ursula shaking her hips during Poor Unfortunate Souls... Yes, hip shaking is evil AND queer now. Looks like the song "Hips Don't Lie" will take on new meaning for Sha-queer-na.

I've said this before--I actually don't believe that many people in Newark-- and a few other select cities-- ACTUALLY vote but since they are black communities and blacks traditionally vote 95+ Democrat, they leave that tally open---just in case they need to manufacture enough to get the Democrat over the goal line--and Murphy needed that help last year.

In systems, this is what's defined as an open-loop control system. It would be better if the gain on voltage or current was adjusted based on the crime rate target or trend using a feedback loop. The state diagram LAAEFTR.

356 If I remember history correctly, the Republican party was formed to end slavery, and the Democrats were the ones doing all the lynching. And thank you, the only people switching parties were blacks who went from voting for Rs to voting for Ds. I'm old enough to have voted then, my parents were Republicans, and none of us or our neighbors switched parties. So that progressive claim is all BS.

357 Yes, hip shaking is evil AND queer now. Looks like the song "Hips Don't Lie" will take on new meaning for Sha-queer-na.

When Shakira did that number with Rihanna where they pretended to be about to go at it my understanding is that her fans in Latin America HATED it.

But she's part of GloboHomo Media Inc now so...

360 The original anti-lynching legislation was proposed more than a hundred years by Leonidas C. Dyer, a white Republican from St. Louis.

If you recall, Senator Kamala Harris, along with Sens. Tim Scott and Corey Booker, proposed the bill again but it expanded rights for the LGBTQ etc. communities. (And then Jussie Smollett got overly involved in the politics.)

It's gonna be a long, hot summer for sure.

362 3 uncles... I call bullshit

The Tuskegee Institute has recorded the lynchings of 3,446 blacks and the lynchings of 1,297 whites, all of which occurred between 1882 and 1968 (with 142 in Kentucky)

So this guys uncles accounted for 3 of the 142 over 86 years?
Doubtful, really doubtful.

363 For the record, his maternal side grandfather was born in 1929 and his other grandparents in 1939 / 40, 1941, and 1942. The maternal-side grandfather grew up in Quitman, Miss. about 25 miles south of Meridian; he relocated to Louisville ca. 1955. The other three were born in Louisville and lived their lives there. His mother and father were Louisville born and bred as well.

A man named Will Kantelhner IV has assembled a helpful database of lynchings and adjacent phenomena in Kentucky from 1877 to the Present. There hasn't been a lynching in Kentucky since 1934. Over the period running from 1911 to 1934, about 15 blacks were lynched in the state per this database, or less than 10% of the blacks recorded to have been lynched since the end of Reconstruction.

364 If any of those lynched in Kentucky since 1877 were his relatives, they'd have to have been in his great-grandparents' generation or farther back. One other thing, all the lynchings recorded in Kentucky between 1911 and 1934 were in non-metropolitan counties of which none had a population in 1910 over 35,000. About half had black populations between 10% and 25% of the total in 1910, about half had black populations under 6%. This fellow Booker is the scion of a family which has 80 years in Louisville at least. The number of lynchings recorded in Jefferson County, Ky since 1877 has been...zero.
