Biggest Day of Lynchings Was in 1891 of Italians in New Orleans

President Barack Obama, Eric Holder, Bill de Blasio, and the Rev. Al Sharpton are fueling the flames of racism in America just as the Ku Klux Klan did 100 years ago. Sounds inflammatory? It is. What’s worse, it’s true.
The reason? They are considered the establishment. They are out in broad daylight perpetrating a racist agenda and, instead of wearing a white sheet to protect their identity, they are shrouded in the cloak of government.
They are adept and skillful at delivering a populist message of redistribution of wealth or how minorities are targeted by the police. Listen my friends, the biggest day of lynchings in America happened to Italians in New Orleans in 1891 in response to nine Italians being found not guilty in the murder of a police chief. A mob dragged those nine Italians and two others from the jail they were being held in and lynched them all.
[. . .]
John Parker, who helped organize the lynch mob and later went on to become governor of Louisiana, said of Italians that they were ” just a little worse than the Negro, being if anything filthier in their habits, lawless and treacherous.”
Add to that Italians are Catholics, another thing that added to the hostility toward them. Yes, Catholics were feared and treated very poorly for years. Also, for years the existence of the Mafia had Italians mistreated and held in suspicion by law enforcement. Actually it still goes on today. But Italians understood that where there is smoke there is fire, and things were happening in their community.
[. . .]
There has been a dangerous pandering to the black communities by certain progressives. They foster deliberate victimization so that a dangerous political agenda can be furthered. Instead of seeing through this, we have the silent deadly complacency of the media and Hollywood.
[. . .]
instead of asking that the communities respect and work together with law enforcement… we see the resurgence of what Bill Ayers and the various terrorist organizations had wanted to do in tearing down our social structure and leaving in its place chaos and the seeds for a Marxist revolution during the ‘60s and ‘70s.
[. . .]
The attack on America is happening from within, and the GOP is just as guilty by their ineffectual behavior.
