Human skin as trophy, welcome to AmeriKKKa

ALGOOD, Tenn. -- A veteran investigator with the Tennessee Department of Health was forced to resign or face termination last month for his conduct during a racially charged case.

...

Last summer, Sewell began investigating a case involving the Algood Fire Department in Putnam County.

In an interview with the man who filed the complaint, Shun Mullins, Sewell began telling a graphic story about a black man who was lynched near Baxter, Tennessee, many years ago.

...

"Mr. Sewell goes into a story about a hanging, that he had been told, about the hanging of a black man," Mullins said.

Affidavits from all inside the meeting alleged that Sewell went into disturbing details about a lynching -- and the mutilation of a black man's body -- in Sewell's hometown of Baxter many years ago.

...

Sewell continued the story by saying, "They lowered the body, and all the white men standing around took turns removing the skin from the black man's back."

The three say Sewell finished with a shocking detail, that he still owned a "strap" of the lynched man's skin, passed down from his grandfather.

"They made a strap out of his skin, and they used that strap as a knife sharpener," Allen remembered.

...

He said he got that razor strap from his grandfather who was mayor of Baxter.

Sewell said it hung in his grandfather's warehouse for years, and he took it home when the family sold the building.

Wow..I am speechless. Un believable in this day and time.

Ok Marvin this is the appropriate time to scream Racism. We will not question you on this one

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

Sick and depraved.

Yes. Not family friendly. Mods - please remove.

[mota bhai 2,675]

It's a good point. Human skin peeled off the back of a lynched man and kept as a trophy certainly isn't family friendly.

But no, I'm pretty sure they just mean the sexual stuff.

You sure? I mean, this could be a case where they admired the black man's skin and just wanted to keep some for themselves.

On a serious note. I'm not shocked at all. Mad and upset? Yes. But shocked or surprised? Nope.

How in the world can you not be shocked and surprised at this? Do you really have that low of an opinion of society?

Black people know of white racism better than most white folk do.

BJ, we've come a long way since the old days. But, racism still exists. More than most folks are willing to believe. Things like this, it's sad and jacked up to say the least, but at the end of the day, we always know what time it is.

I have no idea what that meant.

Racism is very much alive today, but as it fades from white society it has taken root in Black society with a vengeance

[GandD 5,966]

Not all white people are like this, lets make sure we don't generalize.

In order for that to happen, we would have to subject white people to centuries of what we're been through.

Never do or did. Unlike some people, I can tell the difference.

If I were to say that I was not shocked when the knock out game started; I'd get the lecture about how all black people are not like this.

But somebody has freakin' human skin that they pass down from generation to generation. *yawn* Not surprised. Nothing shocking about that.

And, for the record, I was shocked when I first heard about the knock out game. Gotta make sure I'm not labelled a racist.

White people have never been slaves?

Perhaps you mean white Americans? And perhaps you mean that the effects of slavery don't count after X amount of years? You go far enough back in my family tree and you'll probably find someone that was a slave.

I was not shocked about the knockout game. I am shocked at how rampant it "appears" to be.
