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 there wasn't really any justice in the 20s. The racial issues really bother me to no end. Why are people so judgemental? Why were people killed because of the pigment in their skin? Honestly, I think the community was intimidated, but they didn't show it. The lynchings took place in the woods in a tree. The arts were booming while justice for America was failing. I'm glad we have evolved and equality is better. Hopefully, our judgement will evolve here soon too.
Bailey King 6/7 period
In the 1920’s there wasn’t a whole lot of justice at all. There were all kinds of racial issues that are really rather ridiculous. Society is so judgmental! Why did we have to go to such extremes as killing people, just because of their skin color? Yes, to be totally honest, the community was intimidated. But, rather than show their fear, they stayed strong and stony-faced to keep the upper hand.
Lynch- (of a mob) kill (someone), especially by hanging, for an alleged offense with or without a legal trial. In this case, there were no trials what-so-ever. Many of the lynchings were very deep in the woods and were typically hangings. Now wouldn’t you like to wander upon a swinging body when you’re trying to find your dog Spot’s chew toy? I didn’t think so.
On to the arts now. Arts in the 1920’s were booming. Pop culture and literature were truly wonderful and in style. Many books were becoming best-sellers and a bunch more of music topped the charts. But when it came to equality, we weren’t doing so well. It was almost like they were compensating for each other. Arts: 80% - Equality: 20%. Over the years, our equality has improved. We’re more accepting and observant now. We’re still very picky and judgmental about small things, but I’m glad to say that it’s not about a simple matter of a skin pigment anymore. ~Karinna Fazenbaker 6&7
I don't think there was any justice in the twenties. No racial issues stop bothering me. It just isn't right the way blacks were treated back then. In fact, racism still exists today. Some people just don't like other people JUST because of their race. That's ridiculous! They even did lynchings in the woods in a tree. The Arts, however, were blooming, whilst justice was becoming more and more of a failure. Way to go, society! You've shown the world how judgmental you are! Especially in the twenties. You were so judgmental, that you took black people into the woods to beat and hang them. What does that prove? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
I don't think there was a lot of justice in 1920's. Back then people got judge just by there race. For people to get treated bad or different because of their color isnt okay. I would think some of the black people would have been scared if someone was going to hurt them and no one would do anything about it. But in later years blacks got way more justice and know if something that happens like it did in the 20's the person will be in jail for life.
I do not agree with the justice that was used in the 1920s. It is morally wrong to treat human beings so terribly because of their skin color. The lynchings mostly occurred in the Southern part of the United States, and often in areas with poor economy and low morals and values. Those responsible for doing the lynchings were rarely punished, and often police officers and high ranking city officials participated in the lynchings. I think the blacks were intimidated. One statistic I read said that two-thirds of the lynchings were performed on innocent blacks who were wrongly accused of committing crimes, or due to mistaken identity. While this misjustice was occurring, the arts were becoming more popular. Those with more money and status, like the models and movie stars, were gaining fame and fortune. Also, status symbols such as cars and jewelry were becoming more popular with the American people. Our country has come a long way, but we still have to make improvements.

I really do not believe that there was any justice for the black community in the 1920s. I do not believe that the blacks were intimidated by the lynchings of their people. Do you lunching's most likely took place somewhere quiet and away from everybody else so most likely in the woods. March 1920 they were trying to have all people with equal rights but in the world everybody did not have the same rights just because of the color of their skin. America and the world has come along way since then.
Elijah posey 6/7
I think it white skin of bad for non white people in the 1920s.Yes and no because in some parts of the U.S. the black community was left alone and not bothered. In the central parts of cities were everyone could see them. The arts were more let loose and restrained but, the justice was strict and cruel to all none white people.
In the 20s there wasn't much justice at all. There were a lot of racial issues too. I'm glad that has changed over the years, because that is terrible that many people were being treated poorly. I think the black community was intimidated. But instead of showing their fear they stayed strong and moved on. The main location for the lynchings would be in the woods in a tree. The arts were all good, but on the other hand, the justice was terrible. You shouldn't judge people just because of their race. Everyone should be treated equally .
There wasn't any justice in the 20s because just because of their skin they would be mistreated. colored people got shot and killed because the color of their skin. If it weren't for desegregation then it would still be like that. I wouldn't want to be raise in a house to believe that colored people were bad. That's what I think I hope all of you agree.
Racism is a really, was a really bad problem then and still today is. That is one thing that I think needs to change. There was not a lot of justice in the twenties and for what, reason a skin color. The black community had it just as bad or even worse back then as the white community. Trying to feed their family's find a home and having clothes The hanging in the south and the threats and the KKK always hanging over they're heads just added problems to the ones they already had. Look at it from there point of view how would you like being hung by a tree or being burned alive or getting beaten walking down the sidewalk. A picture may speak a thousand words but a picture of a man or woman hanging from a tree is a lot different from watching it yourself or having it happen to you.
There seems to be very little justice in the 1920s. It is so wrong to kill or beat a person because of their skin color. Just because of their darker skin, they would be hung. It's just terrible and horrifying to think about. I think that the black community were threatened by the lynchings, but didn't want to show it. Many of the lynchings took place in the woods. Meanwhile, the arts were very popular. Everyone payed attention to the music and arts. What they needed to be focused on, was the inequality that was going on. No matter what color skin a person has, we should all be treated the same.
In the 1920's I don't think there was very much justice. In this time there was a lot of judgment about race. I do not think this type of judgment was right at all. I think of skin color being just like hair color or eye color. You cant change the color of your skin or what traits you are born with. People should not automatically say that a person is any less than someone else just by the color of skin someone has. I think that the black community was probably very intimidated by the lynchings. I think anyone would be intimidated by this, because they would not get a fair trial and most of the time wouldn't get a trial at all. These lynchings would usually happen in the woods where they would be hung by a tree to die. In the 1920s arts were becoming very popular with people. Many of the people loved music and art.

There was not any justice back in the twenties. There was not any justice because of all of the racial issues and racism. I think that the colored community was intimidated and threatened by the lynchings. I think they didn’t show it because they wanted to be strong and not show weakness, more lynchings would happen if they showed they were afraid. Even though they were abused, beaten, killed, and hung over their skin color they had to stay tough and not fight back, to make things worse. Most of the lynchings took place in the woods. While the arts were getting better by the day while justice got worse by the minute. The definition of justice was not the same as we use it today.
Chris McLaughlin ½ period
I think that there wasn't very much justice in the 20's. There were a lot of racial issues. They didn't make sense. It doesn't matter about the color of their skin. It is what is inside that matters. They killed people because of their skin color. I think the black community was intimidated, but they didn't show it. They wanted to show that they were strong. If they showed that they were scared then there would be more lynchings. The primary location of the lynchings were the woods. In the world of the arts, it didn't really matter what your skin color was. There was still some racial issues but not as much. In the world of justice, there was a lot of racial issues. They killed people because of their skin color.
Zachary Jordan 6/7
I don’t think that in the 20’s people had justice. I do think the black people were intimidated my lynching’s. The primary location of lynching’s were in the South. Many arts have changed from the 1920’s, for example, all different races have the same equal rights. All can vote, go wherever they want, or do whatever they want to do. Some things that have stayed the same and will always stay the same is racism. Racism has always and will always be a thing, sadly.
I think the justice of the 20's very cruel. Not only was it cruel, but it was also in humane. The black community was very intimidated by these people. I mean they were tourchering them. I know I would be afraid. There is also proof in the photographs. Some people would have signs like "stop the klan" to protest this. However it kept going on. A majority of this took place in the southern part of the country. It lasted through the 1930's and a little farther. Today we still have racism. It just isn't nearly as bad as then. They would burn them. Then they would hang them. Then they would do a combination of both. Like I said, the 20's was a cruel time period especially in the southern. However, we have moved on now. Just waiting for the next thing to happen.
-Caleb Rice/1st & 2nd
Justice was not administered fairly in the 20s. The black community suffered from an unequal justice system. Although Ku Klux Klan operated primarily in the deep south, I would have to think the lynchings by the Ku Klux Klan would have affected the black community of the entire country. The threat of being randomly murdered was very real for members of the black community. As the black community lived in terror, the white community flourished. All of the advertisements shown in the video clip had attractive white people. The movie stars of the day were all white. The invention of the assembly line was making more and more products including the radio affordable to the general public. The radio was one item that was built by assembly lines that appeared to help break racial barriers. The only black entertainers shown on the video clip were musicians. When one listens to the radio it is impossible to see skin color.
Jarryd Powell 4-5th period
There wasn't a whole lot of justice in the 1920's. While the arts were increasing in greatness, the justice in America was failing. Many of the lynchings took place in the woods. They were typically hangings. I think that the way people treated the colored was horrible. Just because someone has a different skin color doesn't mean that they should be treated any less than you are treated. Over the years the racial issues have improved greatly. Now days Blacks are treated equally. Which is how they should've been treated in the first place. I think that since the 1920's not only did the arts increase in greatness but justice did as well.
I dont think there was alot of justice in the twenties at all. The rascims was awful in the twenties, and it really bothers me. In the twenties there was a bunch of lynchings. Most of them were hangings. This intimidated the black community very badly. I would have been intimidated to. I mean who wouldn't be the were killing people because the color of there skin. Even with all of this going on the blacks never fought back. Even though back then the blacks were treated very badly, but now they are treated as equals.Which should have been that way first off. So to conclude since the 1920's the art and justice has increased.
There wasn't really any justice in the 20's. I believe the blacks were treated very rude. There was really no reason to treat them how they were treated. They didn't do anything wrong and they got punished. The murders I think happened everywhere no matter where you were. I still wonder why people would treat them, how they did. Most of their actions were unacceptable. So that is why I think the black communities lived in fear and horror. But the white community was fine until they saw a black person. Then they went crazy. If I lived back then, I would've tried to stop the diversity because I don't see what skin color mattered.
In the twenties I believe there wasn't any justice. Racism was a problem, and I believe shouldn't have been. The things the African Americans had to do, due to their skin color and the suffering they went through, was ridiculous. In the 1920's there was lots of lynching. I think that it scared the black community, but they were strong enough to keep it inside. Many of the lynchings were hangings. Times have changed, and people have learned to accept the differences. Blacks are now treated equally and with fair justice. The arts and justice in the twenties has improved a lot to this day.
There wasn't much justice going on in the twenties. Gangsters were all over the place and you really couldn't go anywhere and count on being safe. I still get very angry and I always make sure to tell people to stop when they are using slurs or making racist comments. It just seems stupid to kill people just because their skin is a different color than yours. I believe that people outcast things that are different from them and things that they don't understand. The lynchings took place in the woods. The arts were a big thing while justice was almost nonexistent. I'm so happy that racism isn't as big an issue now as it was then, but there's still work to be done to completely eliminate this terrible mindset.
I think that justice in the 80s was not fair, the black people were treated more poorly and unfairly then the white people. Even though the black people did not do anything wrong they were punished for just living by the white people. Yes, I think the black people were intimidated by the lynchings. The primary location of the lynchings was in the south. In the pictures people were being tortured and hurt. Also they were getting killed, burned in beaten. In justice, the black people were still treated unfairly, but justice had more respect. There is still lynchings today but not near as bad. Thanks to the proctors of our states , counties , and nation we can know that people who are in lynchings, will get punished. If anything happens now a days, justice will be served to who deserves it.
Christian Dewitt period 6/7
I believe that there was absolutely no justice in the 20s. The color of a person’s skin decided how they would be treated by everyone around them. That seems very unfair to me. I think people should be treated with respect, even if they don’t deserve it. Everyone deserves to be treated equally, but then again, that is just my opinion. I know that not every single person on this planet agrees with it. I think that the lynchings did intimate the black community. The lynchings primarily took place in the woods. The art world was very different from what was going on in the world of justice. The art world seemed like a better place. The world of justice, on the other hand, was not a happy place.
Justice? What Justice?
This isn’t justice.
The lynchings were obviously an attempt to intimidate and scare the black community, and it made sense that it would take place deep in the woods of the southern United States of America. Whilst art was skyrocketing, racial equality was digging a mile deep hole, getting worse than it already was: as though you had to take one and leave the other. The lynchings disgust me, and make me upset to think: These are my ancestors, those who came before me: These used to be living humans and should have been treated as such.
Despite the pain and injustice against blacks in the 1920s they were still able to produce amazing art and music. The Harlem Renaissance played a large part in the awakening of New York as a cultural, iconic city.
Honestly, in the 20s, it was like justice wasn't a thing. It feels unfair giving one side of races all the power, while the other is treated like expendable objects. There are still racial problems going on today! I believe that people treated others by the color of their skin because they believed a different skin color meant they were from a different government they liked, and they wanted to control the US and make it their form of government. Despite many famous things began to be invented or became an idea at the time, there have also been very infamous things that have occurred during the time as well. I am not an African American, but I don't like the "equality!"
This is far from anything even close to being called justice. Justice is the administration of punishment on someone who has done wrong. In these scenes the people are being punished for their skin color. The people doing the killing aren't even getting in trouble. I think the lynching was used to make it look like the black society has no power over their own safety. They also showed that even the police wouldn't help in their protection. Jazz music, is what I believe to be the only reason blacks made it through. Jazz helped them stay strong and full of spirit to help them keep going. Just like when Slavery was a big deal music brought them together and helped them get through their day. This is an example of how history repeats itself, because it's in our DNA.
4/5 per P.S check last blog by me, posted the 27th
Obviously, there wasn't any justice for really anyone, but maybe the whites. This just shows how much shame that the so called "land of opportunities" has brought to the era in the 20s! Yeah, just because skin colors differ, you feel you have the right to murder someone! Taking a life and relishing in it is despicable. Most of the lynching took place in the south where most segregation problems erupted. I would assume the blacks were intimidated. Your life is taken away slowly with pain and you absolutely don't want to die just because whites are racist. Soon, blacks began to protest against this abomination and they are going to fight. Justice is difficult. It's always unfair depending on the way you perceive it. The only person who knows what's truly right is God and Jesus. Now onto the next topic. Art in America has evolved into more emphasis on skin color and not a lot of diversity. It's become more popular not only for whites, but for blacks too. This the my view, but not everyone looks through the same eyes.
Tina Zheng 4th/5th
I think that there wasn't really justice in the 20s. There were all kinds of racial issues that were ridiculous. I think the community was imitated, but they really didn't show it. The lynching's took place in the woods in a tree. I'm glad we have evolved and also the equality is a lot better. Tiona Clay 4\5 period
There was little to no justice back in the 1920’s. The lack of justice severely affected the African-American population. It is a terrible thing when you are judged because of the color of your flesh and not by the content of your character. The African-American communities were systematically intimidated by lynchings but they didn’t show it. I don’t care how tough you are, If you were a person of color, the feeling was “your next”. The lynchings were mostly held in the woods. The arts in the 1920’s were fantastic while the justice system was failing. As the arts were beautiful from music to sculptors and paintings. Now, I am glad how American justice has evolved for the better.

In the 20s there wasn't much justice at all. I'm glad that has changed over the years, because that is terrible that many people were being treated poorly. I think the black community was intimidated. Many blacks had secret ways of telling each other that they were going to try and escape, they did this through songs. But instead of showing their fear they stayed strong and moved on. The main location for the lynchings would be in the woods in a tree. The arts were all good, but on the other hand, the justice was terrible. You shouldn't judge people just because of their race. Everyone should be treated equally
I don’t think that in the 20’s people had that much justice justice. I do think the black people were scared of the lynching’s. Many arts have changed from the 1920’s, for instance, all of the races have equal rights. The primary location of lynching’s were mostly in the South. All can vote, go wherever, or do whatever they want. Some things that have stayed the same since then and will always stay the same is racism. It is cruel sometimes. Racism has always and will always be a thing, it is so sad.
There was not any justice back in the twenties. There was not any justice because of all of the racial issues. I think that the colored were intimidated and threatened by the lynchings. I think they didn’t show it because they wanted to not show weakness. More lynchings would happen if they showed they were afraid. Even though they were abused, beaten, killed, and hung over their skin color they stayed strong and didnt fight back.While getting better day by day but worse by the minute. The definition of justice was not the same as we use it today.
Hayden Sliger 1/2
In the 20's there was very little justice, if any. There were bullying and racial slurs that took place back in this time that were uncalled for. Im glad that people have changed alot over the years.People would judge them and beat them because of their skin color. One thing I saw in the video was was art. Art in the 1920's was awesome. They had color, and lots of technique. Art- 80% and equality- 20%. Over the years equality has improved very much. People should have never judged them for those little things.
Kennedy Wilfong 1&2
I think that there was no justice in the 20's, only for the whites. Blacks had the least amount of justice if they were lucky. The racial issues really bothered me. And they still do, like why do people get treated just by the color of their skin? Why did people go out intentionally seeking black people just to kill them? I think that the community was imidated, they were just too scared to show it. The prime location for the lynchings was in the woods in a tree. While the arts were booming, justice for America was not. I'm happy to see that justice towards blacks has gotten better. Hopefully, everyone else will see how wrong it is.
Gracie Tarley 4/5 period
I don't think there was any justice. It was an uprising of the KKK. After World War I, fear of alien radicals culminated in the Red Scare, led by Wilson's Attorney General, A. Mitchell Palmer. Following the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, the creation of the Communist International in March of 1919 triggered fears that Communism might spread across the entire Western world. When a wave of strikes, brought on largely by mismanaged demobilization from a wartime economy, coincided with a rash of anarchist bombings, many Americans feared that an organized conspiracy to overthrow the government by violence was underway.
Jason Prichard 4/5
There wasn't any justice back in the 20's. People were very racial back then. They stripped colored people and set them on fire. There was a picture of people burning the cross. It isn't right to treat people that ways just because of their skin color. Another thing they did to colored was hang them. They would torture them for no reason and that's wrong. A thing in the 20's they were very good at was art. There were pictures of art in the video that were very good.
There wasn't any justice back in the 20's. People were very racial back then. I find it ridiculous! They stripped colored people and set them on fire. It isn't right to treat people that ways just because of their skin color. I really don't see why we do it. God created everyone equal, so it shouldn't matter what race they are. Another thing they did to colored was hang them. They would torture them for no reason and that's wrong. A thing in the 20's they were very good at was art. There were pictures of art in the video that were very good.
There was no justice at all for people of different race! I think that it is ridiculous for people to go out of their way to kill people due to the color of their skin. There is no way that someone can help the fact that they are asian, white, etc. I think that white people thought that they were so empowered due to the fact that they had white people working in the law departments. They could easily get away with stuff like, murdering a poor innocent person. The lynchings were by a group of people called the "Ku Klux Klan", which were a group of racist white people. The lynchings were generally taken place in the woods, or somewhere that they could hang their victim. I am a person who believes in equal rights for everyone, so I am glad that it still doesn't happen to this day. Although, there are no groups likes the KKK anymore, racism defiantly does exist still.I feel like if everyone just stopped viewing everyone from where they are from, how they dress, and the color of their skin we would live in a better world. Ever since the 20's there actually more accounts of racism. There more events especially for people how are Muslim, and are viewed as a terrorist. On the other hand, the art industry was booming. People were developing new forms of art, and new music, and new trends in clothes. I feel like it was better to be in the art industry.
Personally, I think that the racial equality sucked. In the 1920's, anyone who was black or colored was treated unfairly. Many lynchings occurred, which are hangings, and are held in a tree. Even though there wasn't a whole lot of fairness toward black people, the arts (literature, style, and music) were booming. Everything related to arts went up in social media and influenced a lot of people.
I think that justice was not registered as a value in this society. The KKK leteraly were murdering people with no punishment. They burned crosses in peoples yard and the police didn't even do anything. They were even hung, which I think couldn't have been more intimidating. They had no control over there own safty. The only thing they could have done to protect themselves was with weopons.
There was no justice what's so ever in the 1920's. Which is terrible and sad. No one is born racist or anything horrible. What I didn't understand is why the treated colored people and white people differently. What's the difference? Yes the color of there skin is a little darker but I think that is the most stupidest reason to treat someone different. If we can all get along now, it should have been that way from the start.
I don't think there was any justice in the 20s. There wasn't any justice because of all the racial issues and racism. People would just judged by the color of there skin. It's not ok to judge people because of what they look like. There was really no reason to treat them like they were treated.
I don’t think there was a lot of justice in the 1920’s. Yes, I think the black community was intimidated by them. They were mostly done in trees. The arts were doing well but justice was not. I wish we had better judgment and knowledge to know that they weren’t any different than the white people. We were hanging people just because of their skin color which is really wrong.
There wasn't justice in the 20s. Even if there was, it wouldn't help any. For example, there were some rights for blacks, but many of them weren't enforced. The Klu Klux Klan would do anything they could to kill or injure blacks. There were all kinds of people dressed in masks and robes that didn't want to even show their faces. There were even some preachers involved. It didn't matter how much wealth or fame blacks had. They only judged on skin color. There are still racial issues going on right now, but I'm glad that they aren't as bad as they were then. The main location of the lynchings was in the south. The US was separated by certain rights. The south had less rights than anywhere else, and thats where most issues went on. Although things aren't as bad as they were, there are still racial issues going on, and they will hopefully continue to get better.
Kaity Layman 4/5
I think that the amount of justice in the 20s was about the amount of how much pigs can fly. We have improved some, but does racism still exist? Yes! People were killed because of the race. Mow it is just insults, which may be just as bad. Lynching took place in woods so I guess no one could see them. The entertainment and arts business was greatly strengething, but so was racism. There better be improvement in the future of we will all be in big trouble.
Ethan Dyson
There was no justice in the 20's at all. People of different race were treated differently because some people just can't accept the fact that not all people look the same. It's just skin color, for goodness sakes! I believe that yes, they were intimidated by them somewhat. But they were strong and didn't show their fear. The lynching primarily happened in the woods. Deep in the woods, people of different race would be beaten and hung. During the 1920's, the art industry was booming. Apparently people were more concerned with their clothes/music than the horrible things happening all around them. There is definitely more justice now. That doesn't mean racism doesn't exist. But justice has definitely improved since the 20's.
There was no justice in to 20's due to the simple fact that people were not all the same. I don't think the colored people were intimidated I think they saw that as sort of a window to get the white people who believed in equality want to fight the cause harder. Also the blacks find it as them just being pushed a little further until they finally address the cause and stand up for what they know is right. I think if the lynching wouldn't have happened we would still be in the same spot as we were back in the 20's because no one would have seen the sorrow and curl it's in the actions
I think there was no justice in the 20's.Simply because people where judged by the color of their skin.I don't see the point in this I mean we are all people.It doesn't matter what we look like.What I am saying is you should never judge someone by how they look.If someone is judging someone by there color stand up for them there is no reason you shouldn't.
There was not any justice for the black community. It is great how it evolved over the years. There is still racism. It is not as bad. There racism everywhere you go but people do not show it. People hide racism in their thoughts. It is not right to judge people because the colr of our skin. We all should be treated the same.
i think there was no justice what so ever. i thinlk they were intimidated.I think they didnt want to lose their pride to intimidation.im happy that were not in the same spot as we were then, or i wouldnt even have some of the friends i have now!

In the 1920's there wasn't a lot of justice because there was a lot of racial issues . I don't see why people are so judge mental . I honestly think they were intimidated but they didn't want to show fear . I don't think they showed of killed them because of their skin color . Lynching is when a mob kills someone, especially by hanging, for an alleged offense with or without a legal trial . Lynching took place usually some where quiet like in the woods in a tree . I believe the world has came a long way since the 20's but now its not the color of your skin that sorts you out .

I think that there really wasn't any justice in the 20s. The race doesn't matter to me. Like why do people half to judge by color. I mean seriously what is the difference other then skin, but skin color doesn't matter. The lynching's usually took place in trees or town squares. The fact that people judge just grinds my gears and the gears aren't oily. I'm glad we finally set blacks free, hopefully we can get rid of war now.
Seems like there wasn't much justice in the 20s. I don't no why people would judge by color. What difference does it make by skin color. I mean there human to that's what matters and that they would coexist. The lynching took place in trees or in town square for people to see. Now that there is justice today is one of the things I'm thankful for.
What do I think of the justice in the 20's? There was none to be spoken of, that's what I think. Primarily lynchings were in the South, and I believe that there was such racial inequality back then that the whites got all the justice they wanted, without any of it being turned back around on them. Meaning that they could dish out justice, really, to whomever they wanted, as long as that person was an African American. Along with no justice to be found for the Black community to give back to the White community, there was also no fairness for them either. The Whites got everything turned their way, all a happy-go-lucky existence for them. In an under-intelligent phrasing, that's just plain stupid! But honestly, it is foolish to judge based upon factors that people cannot control. You can't ask God to make you a different skin colour, hair colour, eye colour, nationality, zodiac sign, fingernail shape, natural hair style, personality type, or whatever, then suddenly wake up one morning and become that. Well, I guess technically that would be in most cases, but I've tried before and it never worked on me. I'm sure all of you reading this have wanted to change something about yourself, asked whatever higher power there is out there that you believe in (including science (or if you don't believe in any higher power then I suppose asked yourself)) then woken up the next morning just to be disappointed. If not, I'd like to ask how you did it, because I want to learn how to do that as well. Even if that means you never have done this, I want to know how you learned to accept yourself so wholly. But the point is that you cannot just wave a magic wand and poof yourself into having other genetic traits. It's just not possible. (Remember that this is using a most-cases rule. There may be exceptions, but I sure as the FBI gives out free pens (yes, they do) don't know about it.) And it is downright ignorant to judge or inflict mortal injuries upon someone because of a factor such as this. What is completely ironic though is that African American musicians were making huge breakthroughs at the same exact time this was happening. Irony; you gotta love it.
There wasn't any justice back in the 20's. I think the blacks weren't intimidated by the lynchings just fearful for their families.They were not scared to go up against them but what about the children the elderly you couldn't go up against the lynching with children and elderly. The primary location of the lynch was the south. The art in the 20's was pretty cool there was messages in there that everyone portrayed in their own. The justice on the other hand not so great if you weren't white you couldn't do anything. There was not just injustice on blacks if you were another ethnic group you were discriminated against. In most cases another ethnic group were colored.
There was very little or no justice in the 20s. Race was also a big issue. I think everyone should be treated fairly and race shouldnt matter.
Douring the twenties justice wasn't what it is today. There were blacks being killed left and right down South. Most times the police knew but didn't care. African-Americans were scared to fight back because the sheer numbers of the attackers. In most cases it was the Klu Klux Klan. They had members all over the place. North, South East, and West they were every where.
