Irene Tusken
Suggested by Pierre Alleur
Duluth, Saint Louis, Minnesota, USA. Fierce Racism enabled by Fake Victimhood and sustained by Systemic Discrimination. Results? three men lynched, one man imprisoned, all because a spoiled white ****h falsely cried rape.
June 14, 1920. Night. Stenographer named Irene Tusken told her family that she was raped by six black circus workers earlier in the evening. Even though a physician who examined Irene found no evidence of sexual assault, the word had already spread throughout the community like wildfire.
June 15, 1920. A vengful white mob apparently possessed by a dominant false narrative of blackmen as creatures with a glutton for raping white women, closed in on random African American circus labourers. Three men were lynched without due process. A fourth, who was most faintly linked to the alleged crime, was allowed in police custody.
Even though Irene Tusken was unable give any description of her alleged assailiants, the surviving accused man was sent to trial and convicted of rape, sentenced to seven to thirty years.
August 05, 1921. The 20-year-old accused man was transfered to Stillwater Minnesota State Prison to complete his racially motivated incarceration.
Between 1922 and 1925. The falsely accused man's parole applications were denied six times even though the accusation against him was established to be false.
September 30, 1925. After serving over 4 years in prison for a crime he clearly did not commit, the falsely accused man was released on the condition that he leave Minnesota and not return for at least 16 years. Some report cites that he died in 1934, at 35 years old, less than 16 years after his release. But no official records of his death or cause of his death exist. One can only imagine the pain of living and dying as a convicted black rapist in a white dominated society.
-- Update --
June 12, 2020. During anti-racism protests and unrest in the wake of the George Floyd killing, The Minnesota Board of Pardons finally granted the state's first posthumous pardon to the falsely accused and wrongly convicted man.
According to a report by CBS, Minnesota Attorney General who is also on the Board of Pardons, tweeted a day earlier that "justice delayed is justice denied. But 100 years later, justice can still be done." Beautiful words with the first part borrowed from Martin Luther King Jnr. But there is a problem. To Keith Ellison, "justice" means declaring that an innocent man robbed of his innocence by the state, is innocent. That's not enough.
How about posthumously charging the false accuser, Irene Tusken? - The false accuser who caused the death of three innocent men and made the rest of the life of the fourth a living hell? It goes to show you what the authorities consider as justice and why their ignorant sheeple always settle for less or nothing. To be fair, Keith Ellison may just be a puppet of the white power dynamics with his hands tied but I don't think it even crossed his mind to charge the false accuser. Just like Carolyn Bryant here in Mississippi remains alive and free of any charges. The general understaning of the word "justice" in this country is at best disturbing. Watch this space.
