You know what annoys me? The fact that there’s no absolute truth about anything. No matter what you do some people will judge you and some will congratulate you. The fact that everyone has different opinions about anything. There’s exceptions for everything. I feel so ignorant and insecure about everything right now because, no matter what you do you’ll kinda be wrong and right. You can never please everyone. God.

Lynching 1930A mob of 10,000 whites took sledgehammers to the county jailhouse doors to get at these two young blacks accused of raping a white girl; the girl’s uncle saved the life of a third by proclaiming the man’s innocence. Although this was Marion, Ind., most of the nearly 5,000 lynchings documented between Reconstruction and the late 1960s were perpetrated in the South. (Hangings, beatings and mutilations were called the sentence of “Judge Lynch.”) Some lynching photos were made into postcards designed to boost white supremacy, but the tortured bodies and grotesquely happy crowds ended up revolting as many as they scared. Today the images remind us that we have not come as far from barbarity as we’d like to think.
