Episode 3: Fear the Great White, Shark Attacks and Lynchings

America Did What?! Since 1916, racist white people have killed more people than great white sharks have killed humans. In this episode of America Did What?! Blair Imani and Kate Robards dive into the facts about the 1916 New Jersey shark attacks and how the federal resources allotted to end the shark-induced terror contrasts with the United States’ failure to fight anti-Black lynchings. In 1919 the NAACP said, “The United States has for long been the only advanced nation whose government has tolerated lynching” and we bring that into the present context 100 years later.
