Just a reminder

Racial violence has long been used in the United States to maintain the status quo of racial oppression.
Racial Violence secured lands from Mexicans and Native Americans and also enforced legalized slavery against Blacks.
Violence can be "Indirect" which includes the violence caused by: institutional policies and programs that produce, maintain, and rationalize poverty, inadequate health care, and substandard housing.

Racist violence has served five primary purposes:
1. To force people of color into indentured, slave, peonage, or low wage situations;
2. To steal land, minerals, and other resources;
3. To maintain social control and to repress rebellions;
4. To restrict or eliminate competition in employment, business, politics, and social life; and
5. To unite "whites" across ethnic/national, class, and gender lines.

Up to 100 million Africans and American Blacks died in: the slave trade, working as slaves in the U.S., Travel through the middle Passage, through colonization and exploitation in Africa, Wars of conquest in Africa and slave rebellions.

Between 1882 and 1930 approximately 3,000 Blacks were lynched
More than half (53%) of the 4,220 persons executed between 1930 and 1996 were Black
Despite the history of white men sexually assaulting Black women, 405 or 90 percent of the 455 men executed for rape between 1930 and 1976 were Black.
In 1919, the NAACP reported 3,386 incidents of lynching between 1882-1918.
