[[File:Rooseveltchampioniii.jpg|200px|thumbnail|right|Roosevelt Champion III, 43, was found dead hanging from a tree in Greensboro, Georgia, on Monday by a passerby at about 11am]]<br />
Today, when doing the rounds on popular news aggregator [http://www.reddit.com Reddit], I came across an article about the May 11 (2015) [http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/black-man-hanged-tree-greensboro-georgia-n357246 Greensboro Georgia lynching of Roosevelt Champion III, 43]. As the agreed upon story goes so far:<br />
<br />
{{cquote|"Greensboro Police Chief Ossie Mapp [http://www.greensboroga.gov/publicsafety.aspx who is a Black Male, along with others in the Greensboro PD] told NBC News that a neighbor called 911 about 9 a.m. ET to report finding a body behind a house on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. Police discovered the body of Roosevelt Champion III, 43, who Champion didn't live at the address in Greensboro, in east-central Georgia between Athens and Augusta, Mapp said."}}<br />
<br />
As I was going through the comments of one of my favorite Black subreddit, I read the comment that made me chuckle-smh a little.<br />
<br />

<br />
'''So true, Alienm00se. So true.''' <br />
<br />
Anywho, the comments were few where I was looking, so I said to myself, “what are white folks saying about this lynching. I scrolled up and clicked ‘other discussions’, and lo and behold, <br />
<br />
<br />
Another one down? What?<br />

<br />
Ohhh its /r/coontown. Lets see what they comments are looking like…<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
First thing that caught my eye was all the graphics put up around the site<br /><br />

<br />
...and I knew what I was dealing with. Unrefined racists, downright pleased with this news. <br /><br />

=== Update ===<br />
<br />
A forensic autopsy concluded that the manner of death was suicide and the cause of death was hanging, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said in a statement. <br />
<br />
{{cquote|"After a thorough autopsy examination, there was no evidence of any inflicted trauma to Champion's body"}}<br />
<br />
== TLDR ==<br />
Unrefined white folks publicly denounce racism, while privately bigging it up. Refined white folks publicly and privately denounce racism while making laws that restrict the lives of non-white people. <br />
