Historical Accounts of Racial Violence

I got a book called A Hundred Years of Lynching written by a white man.

Taking Black women who was four months pregnant,

they took us for years

and hung us up by the feet and stuck a dagger in our stomach

and ripped it and

pulled the unborn baby out just to put fear in other slaves.

They tied up Black people to horses and two horses and

pulled his arms out and pulled his legs out.

Lemonade trains with white children and white people of America used to come

and watch them tie up 10 or 15 Black men and pour gasoline on them

and burn

them, watch them burn alive. They took us and hung us up by trees

and shot us

with bullets. They took and cut a hand off

and gave it to a little boy, and they

took the leg off, and this is worse than the devil.

All right, but, uh, do you-

See, the devil, the preacher in the church taught us

that the devil was up under

the ground.

Right.

And he'll wait till he die before he burn us up.

This white devil in America was worse because he burned us

while we was

alive. He didn't wait till we die. So what I'm trying to say is the

deeds and the works, and I think this, if Elijah Muhammad can stand in

America for 42 years before my little Black self was born and say

that the American white man is the devil, then the

white man should get up and say you are a liar
