The gut-wrenching history of black babies and alligators - Andscape

Last week, 2-year-old Lane Graves was attacked and killed by an alligator in central Florida. We should all mourn the death of this innocent child. And empathize with a family whose grief will no doubt be punishing and eternal. As a father, it hurts to even imagine. My thoughts are with that...

It sounds like folklore to Snopes. There was stories published about it in the late 1800s but snopes believes it is folklore. Racist folklore.
The Jim Crow museum has post cards and such depicting it but there is not any concrete evidence that it was practiced.
Mostly folklore
 
terrible account. never heard of such a thing. unfortunately, my family and I still cannot actually effectually atone for sins of people 3-4 generations ago. It would be nice if that were possible. it is not.

See each other through the Father's eyes.. that's what i try to do. As a nation and on a secular level, make character judgments of individuals... not groups. There is no other way to be on a convergent path as Americans. If we can't agree first that we are all Americans and not some other subgroup that needs preferential treatment, we are headed nowhere fast and likely will end in unnecessary strife and bloodshed.
 
Real facts are hard to know in history. Dying on the cross was cruel. The church inquisition was terrible, and history is full of terrible things. The one that the French did to their government (beheaded them) reminds us that you can only rule folks if they let you. Reminds me of a saying I heard from grandpa. Don't look to the government for justice cause all you will find is just us. Keep your powder dry friends.
