I didn't see Remember the Titans. I did see Mississippi Burning in the theater in 1989, 15 years before my racial awakening.
There was a scene in Mississippi Burning where some whites take a negro for a wild ride and when done with him, throw him out of the car.
I know about lynchings, but did what I described in the preceding paragraph actually happen down there back in the day? Or was it Jew-ified fiction? Colonel Reb, maybe you can tell us.

I hate that movie with every fiber in me. It has been so long since I watched it I barely remember the scene you are speaking of, but I seriously doubt whether anything like that happened during the time around that particular event. As for something like it happening at all, I imagine it did, but very rarely. Even in the days when we are told lynchings were "common" they were not all that frequent in Mississippi, and whites were in the nooses almost as often as blacks. Things like the murder of those 3 agitators were almost unique by the 50s and 60s. In fact, that (1964) was the last such murder in Mississippi. A lot of people don't realize that Mississippi was a majority black state until the 1940s. Right now its about 38% black, the highest percentage in the nation. Since the late 60s, black on white crime has continuously increased in most Mississippi cities.
I hope that answers your question.
