The Lynching of Mary Turner in My Hometown in 1918

"Her body was cut open and her infant fell to the ground with a little cry, to be crushed to death by the heel of one of the white men present."  - On the lynching of Mary Turner

For the last year or so, I have been researching my family's history in Virginia and southern Georgia. For the most part, this journey has been very rewarding, finding a newspaper article on my great, great, great grandfather who was born into slavery in the 1850s, discovering an extended relative who was one of the first Black principals in Central Virginia, and uncovering Native American ancestors. Unfortunately, I have also confronted the brutality and racism that defined the world in which they lived. Such was the case in Valdosta, GA in 1918.

Lynching has a long and a very depressing history, the history of which I can't even begin to describe in this entry. What I can say, however, is that experts have approximated that the number of African Americans who were lynched between the 1890s and 1930s averaged 103 per year and were often perpetuated by lynch mobs. As early as 1880, Brooks County, a county formed in 1858 from a portion of Valdosta, had developed a reputation for racial violence.

Brooks County, named after South Carolina congressman Preston Brooks, established a reputation second to none in Georgia for race violence. During the era of lynching, 1880-1930, the county established a ...reputation for mob violence on an unprecedented scale; there were at least twenty-four confirmed victims of lynchings. In December 1894, a mob lynched five men in a single incident. Lynchings were carried out on a regular basis, with mobs taking lives in August 1898, January 1901, July 1909, June 1911, March 1913, November 1917, and May 1918. There were more lynchings in Brooks than any county in Georgia; Fitzhugh Brundage has suggested that the county was the most mob-prone county in the entire South.( n10) It should come as no surprise, then, that the single lynching incident that claimed the most number of lives in Georgia, in May 1918, occurred in that county. ("Killing Them by the Wholesale" by Christopher Meyers)

It was in this historical context that Mary Turner, eight-months pregnant, became one of the most gruesome cases of lynching, racism and lawlessness in the United States. Responding to her husband's lynching, which supposedly involved his complicity with the murder of a white man, papers reported that Turner's statement about her husband's lynching being "unjust" "only inflamed" the white mob which had already claimed eight Black lives. Descriptions of Mary Turner's lynching are some of the hardest writings to stomach.

"The mob tied her ankles together and hung her to a tree head down and gasoline from automobiles was poured over her. Turner's clothing was burned off of her body. A member of the mob produced a sharp knife and her stomach was laid open; her unborn child fell to the ground. Hundreds of bullets were then fired into Turner until she was barely recognizable as a human being. Both Turner and her child were buried about ten feet from the tree, the grave marked by a whiskey bottle with a cigar placed in the neck." (Meyers)

"Mary Turner was pregnant and was hung by her feet. Gasoline was thrown on her clothing and it was set on fire. Her body was cut open and her infant fell to the ground with a little cry, to be crushed to death by the heel of one of the white men present. The mother's body was then riddled with bullets." [1]

The white residents of Valdosta, Georgia decided to teach her a lesson for being uppity enough to be vocal about her pain. A mob found her tied her upside down to a tree, doused her with gasoline and burned her alive. One of the crowd members took a knife and split her belly open letting the baby fall out. Another member of the crowd smashed the baby’s head with his foot. Then the crowd took out their guns and filled the burning body of Mary Turner with bullets. The Associated Press wrote that Mary Turner had made unwise remarks about the execution of her husband. [2]

"...a man stepped forward with a pocketknife and ripped open her abdomen in a crude Caesarean operation. 'Out tumbled the prematurely born child,'" White wrote. "'Two feeble cries it gave - and received for the answer the heel of a stalwart man, as life was ground out of the tiny form. [3]

Gladly, Valdosta has come a long way from Mary Turner, but unfortunately, two recent story coming out of Valdosta show me how far Valdosta still has to go.

When Pastor Jeremiah Wright Condemed America the same people that did this to Mary Turner are doing it to him there is no difference,And white America gave him the bible and a degree to preach the way they want him to, sort of like training. But when he did like Mary Turner, the cut Obama out and crushed him then set pastor Wright on fire, Mary Turner,was not the only one there was Ed Johnson accused of rapping a she devil, Emmitt Till, for whistling at a white woman, And don't forget June 1 1921, and they have the nerve to call somebody a terrorest. there was a guy not far from here named Samuel Shienbein who killed another young man tallo, and dismembered his body then burned it, then went to Israel to stand trial over there, where he is supposed to have received 24yrs, Now these are gods choosen people. In a land where nobody can have weapons of mass destruction except them, gods choosen. That's saying that gods people can treat the rest of the world anyway they please and it's alright, because of another jews blood.

And I HATE McCain. Ron Paul was this nation's last chance, now we'll have civil war eventually.

MLK told us not to judge blacks by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. Well, I have...and most blacks character absolutely SUCKS.

YOU'RE the REAL racists. This is an all out assault on the White race. We will respond and we will not DIE without a fight.

[Why the lies, Chris?]

Black on White crime is far more common that White on Black Crime:

http://www.ourcivilisation.com/usa/racewar.htm

Blacks are attacked by Whites in this country so infrequently that such incidents could be called statistically nonexistent. However, White people worldwide are attacked by blacks so frequently that only the most shocking and horrifying crimes make the news.

It's so frequent that one could call it a genocide if that word hadn't been made unavailable to describe the wholesale murder of the white race now underway. I say unavailable because genocide can be the charge leveled if a White even looks at a nonwhite cross-eyed, but never applied to the destruction of an entire White society by nonwhite criminality, malice, and evil of the most extreme kind imaginable.

http://www.stopboergenocide.com/index2.html

The media helps with this - whenever a criminal is White their picture is everywhere, displayed prominently with the most lurid description of their offense possible. The coverage is usually unceasing, shrill, and as far from unbiased as possible. When a criminal is black, it is rare for a picture to be included in the story on the national level and the story is usually brief and includes some information on "mitigating" factors.

We're all being lied to by the Jews who own the media. That more Americans don't mind is only a sign of how far we have fallen from the days when the truth, honor, and defending your loved ones against attackers was a duty to be pursued with vigor, not a cause for whining and had wringing.

Levin, Eisner, Ovitz, Spielberg, Redstone, and many others have made it their life's work to fatten us all for slaughter on a diet of pure, unadulterated untruth. Part of this is the myth that Whites are somehow more violent and prone to crime than nonwhites - a central part of the heaping platter of "white guilt" self-hate propaganda we're fed every day.

If the best you can do is some moldy, 3rd-hand description of something that may or may not have happened almost 100 years ago, I don't think you have much of a case. Many of the links above, put there by myself and other thoughtful, truthful posters, tell a VERY different story. It is a story that is played out every day across the world and it's quite opposed to the poisonous half truths you've managed to regurgitate.

Wake up and smell the stench of the society Jews in the media created for us to live in. Maybe you need to get yourself out of the sewer and take a bath, Chris.

You remember something which happened in 1918, you quote "murder" statistics from 1900 to 1964?

What about Channon Christian & Chris Newsom, THAT happened not two years ago!

What about the 35,000+ White women brutally HATE-RAPED by Negroes each and EVERY year in the U.S. now. And these HATE RAPES are IGNORED by the Jewish controlled media.

How many Whites are robbed and murdered EVERY year now? I guarantee you it is MORE then your precious 100.

I too support a CIVIL WAR before Obama and before I will allow this carnage to go on. People like YOU killed this nation, with your myopic and hypocritical view of history.

Screw the U.S. of A. let her die!

Enough please, when are you people going to learn that you CANNOT live in victim-hood forever! You have already extracted enough currency from that to compensate for your inadequacies over the decades, time to stop right now and live on your own merits!

If you are serious, build your OWN societies in your OWN lands, it would be a first! I won't hold my breath, achieving something that is clearly beyond you is an impossibility, YOU know it and WE know it!

We don't like you, don't want you and will never accept you, you are a dirty, shallow, ugly and stupid race.

According to the FBI's uniformed crime reports. www.fbi.gov Blacks make
up 13.9% of the population yet commit over 51% of all violent crime
America. Subtract those that are too young/old to commit crime and
those that are already in prison and you are left with about 6% of the
population committing half of Americas violent crime (How much longer
do you think Whites are going to TOLERATE this FERAL BLACK BEHAVIOUR?

Don't blame Whitey for this crime, we see the same murderous behaviour
in Hatti, Zimbabwe and every country that Blacks inhabit.

Me granny never answered the door if it was a negro standing outside of it. She lived to a ripe old age. She taught me how to survive in the land of apes that was my neighborhood while growing up. Negroes are drek. Avoid at all costs. Mex's are nearly as bad. Let them kill each other off. Move to white enclaves and watch the cities burn under the clash of their two "cultures." Then, go after the rotten porkers who hijacked our culture by allowing this filth to prosper.l

Not only blacks were lynched, PEOPLE EXECUTED CRIMINALS of every color. I feel sorry for the pregnant woman, but the blacks were killing and raping the white women. It goes on and on! Nat Turner, the criminal, who is pictured as a saint now - who did he kill? His oppresors? Hell, no! The women and kids! The white men have to protect their families. If the white men had to take the law in his own hands right now - try to calculate how many CRIMINALS wiuld be lynched today. See the statistics of the black murderers and rapists.
