Description
In the message the anonymous writer advocates the murder of African Americans to "teach them that they...have no rights whatever." The writer praises South African authorities, who "turn the machine guns" on black citizens "and mow them down by the scores," and also recommends reviving "the old-time Southern custom of lynching."
