The term lynch fuckin means executing someone.
That’s fuckin it.
Like I’m the Cowboy times the sheriff would tie a knot in the rope and hang bad guys for their wrong doings.
Just because other events happened using that is irrelevant.
Anyone can be hanged. It’s not limited to any specific individual.

So he sends pictures of himself or something like that to his fans.
Well, one of his fans asks to kiss him and she was “13” and he did because he respects his fans and it’s nothing actually serious.
But people make it look more then it actually is.

You overestimate your relevance.
It ain’t hard to compare no no speak of that events into a “Term” that people use making it so they can’t use it anymore.
Why people do it?
No clue.
Are you drunk? I've been right once today.

Why is the other events that have come to replace the original definition with a more specific race-based definition in the United States irrelevant?

Imagine thinking lynching only means hanging someone (we should also not use hang though)

Words evolve. That we now call the thing that moves a cursor on the computer a mouse is highly relevant, despite the original definition being a small rodent. In this case, it evolves to a very specific, very racial definition that came so pervasive in the United States it hasn't simply existed alongside the generic definition but all but replaced it.

Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Racism is when you discriminate someone based on their race, nationality or anything else of the similarity.
That’s it!
People shouldn't be racist and people shouldn’t over react to something that doesn’t need to be reacted to.

Yeah buddy;


History is proprietary to the language in which it’s written. For example, the history of Brazil begins when the Western Europeans colonized it 500 years ago. I think that’s worth remembering when we are talking about “erasing history” and what
our
history has erased.

So "lynch" is not a racist term despite it's historical usage targeting black people specifically in America?

Who is overreacting here?
The people saying we should be able to use the term or those saying we shouldn't?

not trying to be antagonistic?
literally why

if multiple people associate a word with a different thing from the linguistic origin..............why does it matter that WELL ACTUALLY IT STARTED AS XYZ

this is like my middle school experience of people saying "well faggot actually means a bundle of sticks or a cigarette". like ok it can start out like that. in this context it's clearly fucking problematic.
