'Strange Fruit' in 2026: Why LGBTQ+ people cannot look away from racial terror

https://web.brid.gy/r/https://www.advocate.com/opinion/strange-fruit-racial-terror-opinion

In this article by #Cadwalladr about what you can do against digital lynching (Jason Arday), this paragraph of what we can all do when we see somebody being ridiculed, diminished or bullied on Mastodon:

'Send a public reply of support.

The intention of this targeted media bullying is to shame and humiliate the subject, to undermine their credibility, silence their voice, to diminish them.

Every crumb of support matters.'

They didn’t in the 20th century, 2020 or today. Lynchings do seem to increase when people demand righta, though.

[content note: mention of lynching, sexualized harm, and murder of a child]

Another fact:

Yes, that Julia Ward Howe. Writer of the Battle Hymn of the Republic. Which was an appropriation of John Brown's Body, a communally-created song in honor of an abolitionist who opposed slavery by shooting people.

"Women are stripped to the skin in the presence of leering, white-skinned, black-hearted brutes and lashed into insensibility and strangled to death from the limbs of trees. A girl child of fifteen years was lynched recently by these brutal bullies. Where has justice fled? The eloquence of Wendell Phillips is silent now. John Brown’s body lies moldering in the grave. But will his spirit lie there moldering, too? Brutes, inhuman monsters—you heartless brutes—you whom nature forms by molding you in it, deceive not yourselves by thinking that another John Brown will not arise." – Lucy Parsons, 1892

FEDERAL OVERREACH

It may be true that the #law cannot make a man love me, but it can stop him from #lynching me, and I think that's pretty important.

Martin Luther King Jr.

#quote #quotes

A significant number of users within #Nigeria openly celebrated the violence, framing the abuse as justified. Others, both locally and internationally, have expressed outrage and alarm.
