Lynchings During the New York Draft Riots - Clio

The New York City Draft Riots occurred from July 13-16, 1863. Originally spurred on by the poorer New York citizens and their distaste for the Federal draft during the Civil War, many rioters starting targeting African Americans because they felt that the Civil War was a war about slavery, and...

The riots soon took a racial turn as the mobs began targeting African Americans, brutally beating and battering them. Soon, the lynchings began. Many free Blacks were dragged through the streets, set alight, and hung from the nearest tall structure such as a lamppost or tree. The mobs killed a Black coachman on West 27th Street, and then chased three Black men down Varick Street, though those men were able to get away.

The next man that the same mob found was not so lucky. William Jones was walking down Clarkson Street in West Manhattan when the mob found him. An 1863 police report of the New York City Draft Riots took account of the lynching of William Jones, saying, “They instantly set upon and beat him, and after nearly killing him, hung him to a lamppost. His body was left suspended for several hours. A fire was made underneath him, and he was literally roasted as he hung, the mob reveling in their demonic act.”

Any money for this guys descendants or just charge it to the game ?

This post deserves to be negged and I don't say that lightly. There's always some 'Well, actually' a$$hole who runs in to tell black people why we don't deserve shyt this time (ie, every time).

Freedman's Savings Bank​

The Freedman's Savings Bank on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C.

The Freedman's Saving and Trust Company, known as the Freedman's Savings Bank, was a private savings bank chartered by the U.S. Congress on March 3, 1865, to collect deposits from the newly emancipated communities. The bank opened 37 branches across 17 states and Washington DC within 7 years and collected funds from over 67,000 depositors.[1] At the height of its success, the Freedman's Savings Bank held assets worth more than $3.7 million in 1872 dollars, which translates to approximately $80 million in 2021.[2][3]

However, the rapid development of the bank was largely driven by false claims and was coupled with mismanagement and fraud.[4] The bank failed in 1874, weighed down by speculative loans issued by the bank's white officials throughout its existence.[2][5]: 138  Historians believe that the bank's failure not only destroyed the savings of many African Americans, but also their trust in financial institutions.[5]: 211 [6][7]

Yes speculation across the entire financial system led to many banks failing the same exact way in the same time period......

This is different than actual plundering of assets by a nation that lost the war it started...

my point isnt that slaves arent owed anything...

my point is that the jewish assets still existed and had a papertrail

it's much harder to do this for us...this situation shouldnt be used as a direct comparison

Unfortunately she's unlikely to lose a primary as she has the backing of every establishment democrat including Schumer and hakeem and she's bankrolled

"It was created to help Holocaust victims and their heirs recover assets deposited in banks; unpaid proceeds of insurance policies issued by European insurers; and artworks that were lost, looted, or sold under duress. The HCPO does not charge claimants for its services. Since its inception, the HCPO has responded to thousands of inquiries and received claims from all 50 U.S. states and 53 countries.

Under the direction of Superintendent Harris, HCPO has announced the resolution of Nazi Looted Art Claims for four paintings and ten 18th Century Chasubles from the Collection of Johann Bloch, completed the first joint recovery with the Carabinieri for the Protection of Cultural Heritage, and alongside the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation (SPK), returned three paintings to the heirs of Dr. Ismar Littmann.

Black people are owed reparations for the 100 years of illegal racial discrimination that occurred AFTER slavery.

Jewish people having a paper trail for a holocaust that happened on the other side of the globe has nothing to do with the United States of America.

NEW: New York has secured over $183 million in compensation for Holocaust victims and their heirs.

This is beyond insane. It's an eternal shakedown; a racket.

 

[Arizax2]

Funny how we can never figure out a right way to give compensate black folk families but this can pass over night like it's nothing. Ok we can play that game. I thank them for setting the ground works. Now they can mimic the exact same deal for decedent's of slavery. There shouldn't be a reason to go against it seeing as the holocaust didn't occur on US soil but slavery did. Cut the check and knock it off .
