Just more bullshit supposition on your part. And the usual way to shut down any protest because there almost always seem to be some idiots that want to take things further. If the people marching were not violent, then it was a non-violent protest.

And now, the backlash starts.

Piedmont Park hanging referred to FBI

The case of a black man found hanging from a tree in Piedmont Park has been referred to the FBI, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed said.

Reed’s statement was issued Thursday afternoon, hours after social media users expressed outrage about the Atlanta Police Department’s contention the scene was consistent with a suicide. An autopsy has not been performed.

Piedmont Park became a trending topic on Twitter, where some users called the death “another modern-day lynching.”

Little early to call it a backlash - maybe he did kill himself. But if this was a white on black lynching, then according to Bart's logic all whites are guilty because

It wasn't a lynching of a black man but feel free to consider this post a lynching of a straw man.

then what is the backlash that Caleb is referring to?

Anyway, whatever this case turns out to be, my response to you stands - anytime somebody of a group does something, the whole group is tainted. So specifically to your case, the US military are war criminals because of the actions of some. And so on.

I even underlined it. Social media is now the arbiter of justice. Anything done to a black person is automatically the fault of a white person, regardless of evidence. Not unjustified, because police are under a bit of scrutiny, especially in Georgia.

But the 'suicide' is indeed suspicious, as the park is surrounded by multimillion dollar homes.

Didn't the Dallas attacks start about 8:45 pm last night?

They found the Piedmont guy hanging at 4 am thursday.

How could that be backlash for Dallas?

Also he had tree sap on his shirt like he climbing, and there footmarks on an overturned garbage pail like somebody had been standing on it. He was well dressed.

That's not a backlash, we've always had people doubting police findings. In Canada we have it with the FN's, but also with white victims. Backlash in the context you used would have to mean this is a new phenom, which it's not. You can call BLM a backlash. In case you haven't noticed, they've been going for a while, so the backlash hasn't "started."

And nice straddling of the fence. The doubt about this being suicide is a backlash, but you doubt yourself it's a suicide. So you're part of the backlash on social media?

I'm referring to this.

Explain to me how backlash can occur before the event it's lashing back against, expert boy.

Did these proposed KKK members have a crystal ball?

The insinuation seemed obvious the backlash was against Dallas, because that's what we were discussing.

If it was was something else it should have been specified.

I guess I just have to keep repeating myself until it sinks in.

Doing a Fiddy, are you? There's nothing new, here, nothing starting, and it's not a backlash, just the usual doubting of the official story. And since the event being talked about is the shooting of cops, the backlash would have to involve the cops doing something in reaction, not the doubting of a case involving a black victim.

Fair enough. So you are proposing backlash on social media against an event separate from Dallas - which was the topic of the thread and what everybody else was discussing.

Why you do that I have no idea, but whatever, I guess.
