Don’t watch this if you’re soaked in gasoline because it will warm your heart and you will burn to death and die.

They aren’t lying. I died of cuteness.

The lynching of Jesse Washington.

Washington was beaten with shovels and bricks,was castrated, and his ears were cut off. A tree supported the iron chain that lifted him above the fire. Jesse attempted to climb up the skillet hot chain. For this, the men cut off his fingers.

Jesse was 15.

1916.

I don’t know if I want to cry or throw upNever 

Look at their fucking faces in the background
