Nearly 60 Democratic members of Congress raised alarm about a wave of possible "modern-day lynchings" among Black Americans, citing several hanging deaths. They sent a letter to the Justice Department and FBI, calling for investigations into these suspicious deaths. However, the article argues that historical context is not evidence and focuses on the facts of individual cases. Investigations into several cases, including Demartravion Reed, a man in Raleigh, Juliana Nzita, Justice Kai James, Kyle Bassinga, To'Nea Miller, and Jerard Jackson, ruled them suicides with no foul play. One case, Tasia Fortune's, was ruled a homicide, and a Black man was arrested. Data from the CDC indicates that more white Americans die by suicide by hanging than Black Americans, both in absolute numbers and per capita. The author compares this current "hysteria" to the false narrative of widespread racist black church burnings in the 1990s. The article contends that these "leaders" ignore more pressing issues affecting the Black community. These include the crisis of fatherless homes, failing K-12 urban schools, and black-on-black crime. They also overlook the negative impact of illegal immigration on Black joblessness and wages. The author criticizes the silencing of Black truth-tellers who address these systemic problems.
