We all know that lynching is such a common problem and all. Such a much larger problem than niggers shooting people.
Congress makes lynching a federal crime, 65 years after Emmett Till
Congress previously failed to pass anti-lynching legislation nearly 200 times, starting with a bill introduced in 1900 by North Carolina Rep. George Henry White, the only black member of Congress at the time.


Sixty-five years after 14-year-old Emmett Till was lynched in Mississippi, Congress has approved legislation designating lynching as a hate crime under federal law.

The bill, introduced by Illinois Rep. Bobby Rush and named after Till, comes 120 years after Congress first considered anti-lynching legislation and after dozens of similar efforts were defeated.

The measure was approved 410 to 4 on Wednesday in the House and now goes to the White House, where President Donald Trump is expected to sign it. The Senate unanimously passed the legislation last year. It designates lynching as a federal hate crime punishable by up to life in prison, a fine, or both.
Life in prison or a fine. LOL

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., used similar language to urge the bill's passage. “It is never too late to do the right thing and address these gruesome, racially motivated acts of terror that have plagued our nation’s history,'' he said, urging lawmakers to "renew our commitment to confronting racism and hate.''

Democratic Rep. Karen Bass of California, who chairs the Congressional Black Caucus, called lynching a lasting legacy of slavery.

“Make no mistake, lynching is terrorism,'' she said. ”While this reign of terror has faded, the most recent lynching (in the United States) happened less than 25 years ago.''
