Strange Fruit Paragraph

The author was sending a message that the people from the south back then were cruel to blacks and would kill them. Mrs. Holiday easily convinced people that whites were mean in that time frame because of the detailed and gory description on how they would kill blacks. The way she compared things showed how the whites thought by doing this was normal and noble. The way Billie worded the poem showed/told how much they suffered. The worst thing about whites killing blacks is that they thought they were being heroic and it was a "pretty" scene in the south. What white southerners did to blacks was insanely terrible and Billie Holiday described it well in her poem "Strange Fruit."
