Disbelief ...

Not too sure if this image was appropriate, but you teach us to excercise the truth and this is it right here in the "flesh". Lynyching - the obliterating of a human being. Most being African-American slaves but also a few of Italian, Chinese, or Jewish. Anyhow, I choose this image for several diffirent reasons. One being what I just stated in the last sentence, to excercise telling what is real. Also because it hit me deep to just read about lynching in the readings. Then to see a image of it; which was sent as a postcard. With comments such as "You missed a good time" or "This is the barbeque we had last night." Yes, they also cooked and sold the human bodies as souvenirs; Small pieces of bone went for 25 cents and a bit of liver, crisply cooked, for 10 cents. Furthemore the purpose of this was to show you the brutal things the slaves had to go through and also to inform you on just how cruel these humans were! It was very upsetting to read and see the happiness on so many faces - dealing with such atrocious behavior.
