The Roaring Twenties


What do you think of the justice that was administered in the 20's? Do you think that the black community was intimidated by the lynchings? What was the primary location of the lynchings? Compare and contrast what was happening in the arts with what was happening in the world of justice.

I think that the so called justice that was administrated in the 20's was unfair to the black community. I think that blacks were intimidated by the death of so many black people. The primary location for the lynchings were on trees and in public squares and on posts. What was happening in the world of arts was so much different than what was happening in the world of justice in the world of arts different music such as jazz was being developed however in the world of justice hundreds of blacks were being put to death everyday for there race.

The justice in the 20s was poorly distributed. The blacks were still unequal to whites and many of them were killed for it. The black community was probably intimidated by the lynchings fpr the fact that they never tried to stand up to the whites. The primary location of the lynchings was down in the south of America. The arts? If you mean music, then in comparison to justice, it would mean that they were both booming at the time. In contrast, blacks were able to join in the arts and be equal unlike in justice.

I believe that the justice wasn't fair to african americans. I think that they were because of the deaths of so many others. They usually did lynchings on trees and in public squares on posts. In the arts and in justice where both very popular at the time. But also at the same time they where unfair from the african american community.

In my mind I think that the justice of the twenties was unfair and really unfair to the community. In my mind most of the blacks from the twenties were scared of all of the deaths that were going on with their race meaning that they were just really intimidated from the blacks. The location of the Lynchings were located on trees and on the public squares and posts. So as you can see the unfair justice against the blacks was very bad back in the twenties. Finally, you can see that the way the blacks were treated was wrong and no one should hate each other because of their race and I believe in this stuff very well and strongly.

The justice back then sucked; it was horrible. Yes,I know i would be. Pretty much down in the south. People were'nt getting equal rights an their justice never existed for the blacks.

I think the justice system back in the twenties wasn’t very effective. Yes, I think that they were intimidated because of the deaths of so many. They did lynching on trees and in towns on posts. The world of arts was completely different from the justice system. The world of arts offered money, popularity, success, and praise that we never offered before; While, the world of the justice place was horrible. It was a world without any happiness, as your life was at risk always.

I think the justice was very unfair in the 20's! As you can see in this video the way they treated the blacks back then. And yes i think the blacks were very intimidated by the lynchings. I would also be intimidated. The located of these lynching were located in local trees in the parks. In the world of art jazz and radios were being developed. But many of blacks were also getting killed by the day.

I think that the justice was not fair at all to the african americans. Generally the did do lynchings on posts or else where. Both of them were very poplular at the time, but they weren't fair to the african americans.

I think that it was very unfair to African Americans. No, I think that it just made most of them more defiant however, it did scare some. The primary location was usually a post or town squares, somewhere where everyone could see. the world of arts was growing and expanding. While African Americans were being put to death and beaten everyday for their race!

Back in the 1920’s there were a lot of things that were done that weren’t very nice. They would be against the law in today’s day. People hurt people while the policemen didn’t do much about it.

People were prejudice and didn’t care for black community which was very sad. Even the police officers would lynch them and had no regard for life. They would hang them from a tree, while many people would watch. It was usually a mob watching. I can’t imagine that people would watch something like that.

There was a lot of dancing and music during the Roaring 20’s People bought cars and many products. It was a very “happening” time.

In the twenties, there many many things done that were not very nice, therefore, justice was very unfair. Yes, I think that they were intimidated because of the deaths of others. They did lynchings on trees and in public on posts. The world of arts offered many things, where the world of justice was horrible. There was no happiness in the world.

There was no justice for the blacks during that time. I think they were very much intimidated by the lynching’s, I know I would be. The primary location of the lynching’s were from the trees and in front of crowds of people. At that time the arts were starting to really take off and become a positive part of that time, but justice was not a positive thing nor was justice becoming hopeful for the blacks at that time.

I think it wasn’t fair at all. If you look in the video they treated the African Americans very rude, abusive, and very poorly. They were both very popular in that time era. The police would often hand them from a tree wile citizens or just people from around would just watch. This was done on the public post throughout the town. People were buying cars and other major needs and wants.

The justice in the twenties was fair to some people; but, not to others. Yes, I think the black community was intimidated be th lynchings. So many others of their kind had died. Trees, parks, and lamp posts were the main location where this took place. The world of arts had music and old films; and justice had people being killed. It's not right or fair at all.

In the "Roaring 20's", I clearly don't think that there was any justice at all. Yes, of course I think all of the black people in the community were terrified of the lynchings. It was totally racist. They would kill black people for no reason in public places so everyone could see them getting tortured. It was just awful. It was a life without love or happiness.

I think that this was very unfair to the black people. I think that they probably were a lot. It was probably down in the south America area. To camarethem they both had a form of jazz in them. To contrast they were treated very unfairly unlike the white people.

I think that the justice system wasn't fair to African americans . Yes I think they were . They would usually do lynchings on trees or posts out in public. During this time period, music and dance and the arts were very popular. But in the world of justice, the African american community was being treated unfairly.
