In the text Southern Horrors written by Ida B. Wells, we see unlawful massacres of African-Americans done by White Supremacist. The lynching abomination was created by members of the White Supremacy calling themselves the Ku Klux Klan who go around hanging colored people of all ages for false accusations.
Afro-American men were often accused of miscegenation (inter-racial sex) & lynched for it, even if the white woman gave consent. According to Wells, "white men lynch the offending Afro-American, not because he is a despoiler of virtue, but because he succumbs to the smile of white women" (Wells 54). This means that the black man was not lynched for disturbing the peace or with (out) the intent of inflicting pain upon another. It means he was lynched for being attracted, beyond his control, to the white woman. The White Supremacists possibly could've committed the lynching because they were afraid and/or jealous of black men taking their jobs & their women, now that they were emancipated with very little freedom.
The White Supremacy had their ideas carefully planned out because it must have extended meaning behind when there's a "race riot" & Afro-Americans were killed while the whites were left untouched basically. White Supremacist killed for any reason because they feared "Negro Domination" would expand & multiply. No matter the number of Afro-Americans, they still seemed to have no voice.
White Supremacists enforced Lynch Laws by using a form of tactic called eugenics. Scientifically speaking (not prejudice), people who studied race believed white men were superior than all & that they would make the human race better by eliminating people of color, who were not white.
Afro-Americans suffered & will continue to fight for what is right. To bear these struggles they understand it will take time & patience. They focus to live through each day & know that one day; their full freedom will be gained. Afro-Americans understand that their oppression is inevitable & they will stand as the martyrdoms from the beginning of time as they have been.
