Ant GOD bless you for this man, for real. This is real news that we need to know about.

It's not, but when it was a problem members of the Senate tried on approx. 200 occasions to introduce anti-lynching legislation.  None of those 200 attempts passed.  This current piece of legislation is a resolution apologizing for failure to act. 

S.RES.39
Title: A resolution apologizing to the victims of lynching and the descendants of those victims for the failure of the Senate to enact anti-lynching legislation.
Sponsor: Sen Landrieu, Mary L. [LA] (introduced 2/7/2005) 

This is another "bury your head in the sand" issue for GOP supporters on this forum. 

Twentytwofifty:
This legislation is a waste of time, I wouldn't waste my time voting either, it's already illegal.

J Bananas:
An apology for failure to act? I didn't know white liberal guilt was a valid factor in making legislations. Why don't we go ahead and change black peoples official title one more time, or dedicate another shitty ass street to Martin Luther King, or declare some other trivial victory which only brings up raw emotions in people and doesn't really mean anything? What are they trying to accomplish?
