I find it very disturbing that at one point in American history it was trendy for families to watch lynching. In fact, people would make a day of it and have picnics and send each over postcards of a lynched dead black man.
Why was such brutality/savageness normal for them? The average person would feel sickened by the idea of watching a dead body swinging from a tree, let alone have a picnic in front of a dead body. Even if they were/are racist. Why did the image of a dead body excite them?
I was reading about a slave owner called Delphine LaLaurie. Her sadistic antics made want to throw up. She would often skin alive her slaves and sew their mouths.
