       It is extremely disturbing to me that I have only seen coverage of this in smaller media outlets, none of the major ones. I know, there is a lot of shit going on in this country and around the world, but "Lynching is Back, Maybe?" is surely a big goddamn story https://www.complex.com/life/a/backwoodsaltar/colin-kaepernick-black-student-trey-reed-autopsy-hanging-tree

       @sindarina I'm very glad that Newsweek has picked it up. But I did a search for his in the NYTimes, WaPo, several cable news channels, etc. and got nothing

       @ricci not back, lynchings have continued up until now and only became illegal 3 years ago. It’s been “legal” to lynch black people up until 2022 if you could get away with it. Black people say these things all of the time of course but it’s considered hyperbolic or deaths labeled suicide, just like this one. The house has always been burning at various levels of smolder but it’s now spreading and catching rage.

       @ricci yeah, and to have it reported initially as a suicide? To address the campus as if he did it to himself, and anyone feeling things about it is overreacting? It's looking grim.

       @ricci This⬇️💯“Trey’s death evoked the collective memory of a community that has suffered a historic wound over many, many years and many, many deaths," said Crump."Peace will come only by getting to the truth. We thank Colin Kaepernick for supporting this grieving family and the cause of justice and truth.” Kaepernick's Know Your Rights Camp will provide the funds through its Autopsy Initiative.”

       @christophwarner @ricci Also, mixed race marriages were still illegal in several states until the Loving v. Virginia Supreme Court ruling in 1967, only 58 years ago.
